    Robert.

    That's not a nickname.

    It is if your name was Robertulio.

    It is if your name was Robertulio.

    And it is if your name is Peter. But I meant it's his actual first name. Calling him that isn't using a nickname, it's using his real, full name. Which is boring and impersonal. What kind of stalker am I if I call him the same way a complete stranger who has seen his ID would?

    But oh well, if that's what he prefers.

    My husband's middle name is Robert, incidentally.

    If you took all the men named Robert, ground them into gelatin and launched them into space, the resulting Robert-eroid would have 2.25 times the volume of Ceres.

    Don't planets get denser as they get bigger because of their own increased gravitational force, so calculating volume isn't quite as simple as a direct multiplication? Or is that only true for gas planets and not terrestrial ones?

    ... I have no idea which category a gelatinised-Robert planetoid would fall into anyway. :p

    Liam is (supposedly) the Irish form of William, so it's not just a shortened version of the name. So what kind of mass would all the Roberts have if we left them as is? And how did you figure out how much gelatin each one of them would make?

    He's not even counting all the variations of Robert!

    Ahaha, "Squid". I want to call Yare "Squid", now xD
    In the feminine forms, they didn't even put Roberte!

    Anyway. Since he said his favourite nickname is "Robert", and he can't possibly be meaning his actual first name, he probably means his favourite nickname is the French pronunciation of Robert. So I'll be calling you that, Robert.
    And until we meet face to face and talk and stuff, you won't even be able to tell!
    MWAHAHAHA!

    I think we should host a wet T-shirt contest.

    Also, the Internet in general does that to me, not just Wikipedia.

    And then what? You'll post the pictures to the boobs thread? Mention how different wet boobs look from dry boobs, and how that can be used artistically?
  • edited April 2010
    You wouldn't see the boobs if we're wearing t-shirts.
  • edited April 2010
    Hehe. I've heard a lot about that show but I had never seen it before.

    Do you not understand how a wet tshirt contest works? Ok, girls wearing white tshirts. what happens to a white shirt if it gets wet? bingo.
  • edited April 2010
    It does raise an interesting question, don't you think? Which shirt wins? The one that absorbs fastest, or the one that absorbs the most?

    And have you never heard of a t-shirt bra?
  • edited April 2010
    *facepalm* i know that was a joke, but still. THE SHIRT TURNS SEE THROUGH! HOT CHA!
  • edited April 2010
    So I'm guessing you haven't heard of a t-shirt bra.
  • edited April 2010
    bras are not allowed in wet tshirt contests!
  • edited April 2010
    I've been in wet shirt contests and I confirm everything.

    a) bras aren't allowed (if you're wearing one you have to remove it)
    b) the shirts have to be white and of a kind that becomes see through when wet (usually provided by the contest)
    c) the water is super cold, so that the nipples get erect

    The point is to see naked, erect boobs that are also wet.
    It's a lot of fun. Silly fun, but fun :p

    I've never heard of that, but it doesn't surprise me. Maybe it's a regional thing and not done where I live?

    Ditto. I also have an uncle Robert, and we call him, y'know, Rob. :p

    Actually, I have a plausible theory as to why Robert = "Squid":
    • Bob is short for Robert
    • Bob is also slang for pounds (Australia used pounds before the currency was decimalised in 1966)
    • Another slang term for pounds is quid
    • Squid is rhyming slang for quid

    So I'm guessing it was more common before and just after decimalisation, and it's mostly older guys with that nickname - which would explain why Shwoo and I are unfamiliar with it.
