That is so cool! I seriously cannot emphasize enough how excited I am. I love being able to see beautiful / wonderful / interesting costumes in person and pieces from Cosprop never disappoint. Forty costumes is a lot - I'll probably have to visit more than once.

The Winterthur Museum in Delaware has an upcoming exhibition of costumes from Downton Abbey. I'm a costume geek so I will definitely go. More info here.

Reminds me of an incident long ago in a video rental store. I walked past a woman with her young children and heard her say, "Hmm, here's one called Pink Flamingos. It's from the same guy who made Hairspray. You two love that movie, this should be good."

Haha - I was going to post the same video. Everybody dance!

Yup - first thing to enter my mind.

Welcome to the club, Mark!

The regional rail is typically great and was a lifeline when I was a teenager. I do the reverse commute and drive nowadays.

Thank you. 'Fucktruck' is my new favourite word.

I'm the same - I have zero ability to correctly guess anyone's height because nearly every adult I meet is taller than myself. And climbing up onto my kitchen counters so that I can reach middle and top shelves of the cupboards keeps me limber.

I've dated short and tall guys, the tallest of whom was 6'4" and had to bed his knees and lean down to kiss me. It was kind of ridiculous.

I'm compelled to agree. My drawing skills are below average, hence I was a Photography major.

I'm just under 5'2" and you know what's cool? Being able to kiss a guy without the assistance of several phone books or some stairs.

And to think some of my classmates back in art school thought too much time was spent on perspective in drawing class. +1

According to the linked article, There have already been two failed attempts using ice breakers.

Gotcha. Let's shake hands agree to... agree.

I think you are taking my original post way too seriously.

Sorry, stupid me. I thought someone might actually be curious and google the term. More info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hara_hach…

I do it without even thinking about it.
