Dweller NSFW 2011 - Page 36

Ah Ibs, I might be providing consolation under false colours.

I like my men XL at least. And even the women I swoon over on TV and in films tend to be UK actresses - they don't conform to Hollywood standards. They don't have stick thin arms and large bobble heads and knee joints larger than their thighs.

My ideal woman would be someone from a Roller Derby - big and tough and physically brave.

But the bottom line is everyone puts on weight when they go to college. The percentage that do not are negligible. It's a combi of hormones, lack of enforced exercise, freedom, beer and take-aways. When you're out in the working world - whatever world you choose - it will probably sort itself out naturally. And should you choose to go back to a Bowie/ Tennant style frame then it's your choice and in your reach.

You look great as you are.
You still got it kid.

Sincerely
An Admirer

(and despite the Pam sign-off, I really am sincere)

Ibs- you're beautiful, young and dashing! Enjoy it!!!!! You look mahvelous!

Nirvana · 04-28-2011, 07:26 PM

Ibs you are Marlon Brando ... in his youth, slightly baby fat and oh so yummmy!

What happens if someone takes that for their face book picture.

But it's April. Have you left left school, or is Bennington on some weird trimester schedule?

Ibby · 04-28-2011, 10:58 PM

On leave this semester. Don't really wanna get all into it. I plan to be back there next term.

Sounds like yo've been enbracing the student experience with gusto Ibs :p

Ibby · 04-29-2011, 10:39 AM

Back home in Taipei til summer.

HungLikeJesus · 04-29-2011, 11:20 AM

I've never thought you had a Taipei personality.

BigV · 04-29-2011, 01:23 PM

Ibram--

Kaoliang? Is that right? I'm curious, what does it taste like?

Sundae · 04-29-2011, 01:48 PM

If it's anything like kaolin and morphine it tastes like liquorice and makes me vom.
Then again I have an allergy to codeine (morphine derivative) which may actually be at the root of my severe dislike for anything aniseed.

Ibby · 04-29-2011, 02:06 PM

no, gaoliang (or kaoliang or kao-li'ang or any of the other ways they spell it) is not, unfortunately, a narcotic, nor does it contain any narcotic derivatives.
And V - it's, well, nasty. there's a reason sorghum is almost exclusively used as animal feed rather than as food, for, well, humans. I don't really know how to describe the flavour, frankly. it's got the kick and bite and burn one would expect from grain spirits, but a truly wretched aftertaste that's... slightly sweet, but in a sickly stomach-turning way. thats the closest i can come to describing it, honestly. I have nothing else in my worldly experience to compare the taste to. I don't recommend trying it, but on the other hand, in Taiwan, it's just about the cheapest alcohol one can buy (five bucks or so for a (particularly distasteful and cheap) bottle of relatively standard size, 750ml or so), and comes in 38% ABV and 58% ABV (so 76 and 116 proof respectively) and so is the most disgusting but also most economical method of getting one's self well and properly drunk on a budget. I try to avoid it when I can, but the selection at 7-11 and the other convenience stores in the area tends to be limited to gaoliang, whisk(e)y, and sake or shochu, and frankly gaoliang is the least repulsive of the three in my opinion.

Will you bring me a bottle when you return to Bennington? With a description like that, my morbid curiosity compels me to try it.

Look after yourself Ibram.
The majority of things you experience now are actually positive influences. Even if it's just to reinforce a belief that they are negative.

You seem troubled.
This too will pass. And in the Cellar we know you and still love you.
No, we don't know everything, but we're pretty damn accepting.
If things get really grim, try us.

If we'd offer you couch surfing or a hot meal, you can bet we'll try to listen.
And the fact some of us are old shits means we've been there, seen it, puked the biscuit.
