Something To Fall Back On

[Hanineal]

Maybe her nickname should be "Goodyear".

A dirigible washer, or a washer of dirigibles?

Maybe her nickname should be "Goodyear".

Giving a less-than-respectful nickname to a young woman who has a hair-trigger reflex involving spinning high kicks to the jaw, seems like a poor way to spend the last few seconds of your life

Maybe her nickname should be "Goodyear". . . .

Only if she suggests it first . . .

Oh, I'm sure she could make it last longer than that . . . or seem like it, anyway.

Nickname?



Harmonics.

Looks like there hasn't been any fall out from the Ughnog binge... yet.

As Doctor McCoy so eloquently put it in the Episode Mirror Mirror...

"It's worked so far, but we're not out yet."

*hears strains of "Pure Energy" playing...*

Definitely only if she (or maybe, Cricket) suggested it.

I thought blimps were the ones without rigid internal support and dirigibles had rigid internal supports. Cause I think Atsali is too young for implants and her "arrival" was about the same size she is now. http://wapsisquare.com/comic/stung-by-a-bee/

Thank you, love... haven't heard that in a day or two.

Not sure why Cricket gets away with that . . . though Cricket does seem to be the type that gives everybody eke-names.

Actually, dirigible means either airship or designed for or capable of being directed, controlled, or steered.

In the airship context, it doesn't specify rigid or non-rigid.

Generally, "dirigible" is used to refer to rigid airships; "zeppelin", however, is specifically a term for rigid ships.

(Allegedly, the term "blimp" originated with a British officer on an inspection tour who flicked the tightly-stretched fabric envelope and said "Blimp!" imitating the sound it made.)

[illiad]

surely to follow Atsali's line of thought... surely she is already a 'dirigible washer' when she has a shower!!!

(yeah I know she was thinking 'support' rather than 'large steerable objects' )

yes and when her Aunt Monica arrives to discuss it with you i bet she would just love if you used the same nickname for her. Just do me a favor first call me because i have never seen a mess like there is about to be. lol

[AmriloJim]

Occurs to me this is more evidence of interaction with 'Sali's lost civilization... most young ladies of her age don't consider "something to fall back on" as worth a thought.

[AnotherFairportfan]

I'm sort of ashamed of myself, but, considering her probable center of gravity, it seems more likely she'd fall forward.

[jwhouk]

There is something missing in the thread title, but I'm not sure what...

Is this how she gets started with writing Steampunk?

In her feral form as a Siren, her wings probably help trim her out.

In my experience, most human women with natural attributes like hers have a little extra "junk in the trunk" to keep them balanced.

She's talking about her BRAS not her boobs. Bras that have underwires in them, you know, giant ridged structures covered with fabric. Oh yeah, that sounds like a dirigible.

Between what I know about dirigibles and what is inferred about Lydia's bras, I suspect the dirigibles have less engineering involved

[Catawampus]

Well, there has been a good bit of talk over the years about bringing dirigibles back as passenger transports. And given her wings, they might not even need to touch down for her to wash them!

Love the old Star Trek for the oh so great classic quotes!
