Okay Dave, you tell her to shut her piehole or I shall come there and kick her butt!!! (you know I will

) Mass media has much to answer for

Now, here are the images which came to my mind from her pic. You tell her she is a classic beauty, or I'll kick YOUR patootie.

Some Masterpieces (abbreviated, of course) by Sandro Botticelli

I'll just give a warning - "classic beauty" is often mis-translated (via Reubens) to mean "fat." Proceed w/ caution on that particular phrase.

Er, I provided an illustrated example of what I meant, Pliny. I meant no disrespect to his yoga instructor.

*Classic* would encompass the whole Renaissance, *Reubenesque* (fat, as you called it) refers to Reuben's work, I referred to Botticelli, classic Renaissance Painter.

Don't lecture me on style connotations, and I won't argue constitutional law with you.

Oh no, BB, I understood what you said - I may not be the most artistic brush in the workshop, but I can ID the difference between Reubens and Botticelli. Instead,
I was just commenting that the use of a phrase like "classic beauty" runs a high risk of being mis-translated by a recipient who does not understand the
difference - unless, of course, Chopper_Dave carries around a copy of "The Birth of Venus" - or your well-illustrated post - with him.

And I wasn't saying that this yoga instructor was Reubenesque. In fact, the primary reason that I don't take yoga classes is that I all too quickly fall in love with
the instructors.

Sorry for any confusion. Otherwise, I'm off to work on ConLaw.

She looks hot to me.

She's Very Limber.

We are quite fond of the "if you dont have anything nice to say, dont say anything at all" rule here at EF. So shut your newb ass up until you can say something nice. Have a nice day!

**PythonPower** · January 6th, 2007, 02:22 AM

on a 1 to 10 scale, i would give her a 4. but then again that is strictly based on the picture. Do you have better pictures of her like a straight head on picture?

Easy there numb nuts. I really dont care if it was a joke. Establish yourself a bit before you start making jokes that could offend was all i was saying.

Joker and Bear...

this is a classic example of a situation that escalates over a simple misunderstanding of what was meant...
I suggest you both lose the insults and let it go...
