You’ve done it, @beschizza . Your work has become part of the American Conscious.

I should have known that was coming! :smiley_cat:

And, I hope it’s not annoying to mention, @beschizza, but it looks like you have a typo on the surname Inman.

My permanent scowl is always perfect and always has the desired effect.

I always wondered where Rob Beschizza got the inspiration from and getting into The Sandman comics for the first time recently (i know) it suddenly became clear!

Beschizza!

Came here to say this; I suspect that we are among the few happy mutants that have watched America’s Next Top Model.

This is the subject of one of my favorite Basic Instructions comics.

Weirdly, I have not watched that! However, I know that Banks holds a copyright on Smize, because she showed up on Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me on NPR once and talked about Smizing during the pandemic!

I most remember her from her work modeling in the 1980s, though I was aware she’d been on America’s Next Top Model…

You know, smiles is the longest word in the English language, because there are 1.60934 kilometers between the first and last letter.

Mom and I used to attend a horsey expo in Lou-uh-vulle every June. There was no “backstage” area for the daytime lectures (often given on horseback), demonstrations, and performances, so we could chat with folks before and after. A man dressed in a super fancy Arab costume, which covered his nose and mouth with rich fabric, was waiting for his turn to ride into one of the rings. He was on a big, sexy Friesian, and I just couldn’t resist. I walked right up, grinned, and asked, “Hey, when’s my turn to ride him?”

I could only see his pretty blue eyes, but I knew his smile was at least as big as mine b/c the way his eyes got all crinkled up. He didn’t say a word.

The support for such a term may be sparse… unless we come up with a definition as well.

Maybe: The distance light travels in a googolplex seconds, divided by however many digits of pi you can remember at the time…
