  I really love sunny Sundays. I used to take long drives through the forests and farms, but here I'm afraid of getting lost, and I have less confidence in my car. On top of that, I can't drive without serious pain in the old clutch leg. When I told my father what happened, he said, "Oh baby, clutch leg or gas leg? " I could more painlessly drive if it were my gas leg. LEGS.
Basically useful for transportation and elevation. Half of our body length is leg ! What's up with that? I don't see anything particularly pleasant about the look of legs, even someone with "great" legs like Betty Grabel. Most of her pin-up photographs are views from the back or are of her with her knees bent. No one has pretty knees, I don't care what you say.
Legs may be exaggerated beyond their function for some aesthetic purpose, but you cannot say the same of knees. Purely functional, knees are, and slightly more than a blemish along the length of a leg. As something that is purely functional, why is that knees so precariously connect some of the longest bones and stronger muscles in our bodies? Must we sacrifice the sturdiness of our stance to the ability to bend, lifting our calves backwards and kicking ourselves in our asses? "Her skirt is short, below the legs are sturdy. " (from the Jonny Lang song) When I first heard this, in better leg health, it sounded a bit derogatory; why would someone with "sturdy" legs wear a short skirt?
The opposition continues in a following line: "her clothes are old, but never are they dirty. " It's about doing the best you can with what you've got. Well, at the time I had lean legs that earned me compliments. Now I want sturdy legs. If ever I get them back, I'm going to wear short skirts. My grandmother did tell me when I was a teenager that I'd have plenty of time to wear long dresses, so I might as well wear short skirts while I'm young.
Just one more thing to say: Connie: "Does a snake know he's a snake? No, he slithers around on his belly and thinks he's a king. " Cathy: "Connie, you're a philosopher. " Connie: "Well, when a woman is my age and not married, she's either got to philosophize or be arrested. " That's from That Touch of Mink , probably the funniest film I've seen in a while. I'd seen bits of the beginning and some of the "funny scenes" from advertisements for it, but those didn't touch the best parts.
Highly recommended.
