"The tensile strength of [cobwebs are] greater than the same weight of steel and [they have] much greater elasticity."

also they are sexier
if nothing else, one must constantly wonder what Kent and Shelton were thinking when they composed these "tag" phrases
i wonder if that google books corpus could tell us if any of these more bizarre phrases have actually been used in romance novels?
― La Lechera, Wednesday, 4 January 2012 22:23 (twelve years ago) link
Is there anything in the book like "His eyes crawled across the front of her blouse"? Because that's a good one, with the crawling eyes. Happens right before she starts spinning in circles.

― La Lechera, Wednesday, 4 January 2012 22:37 (twelve years ago) link
Haha - crawling eyes as "steamy." Kind of makes you wonder whether romance authors have ever actually had sex.
― They're coming to get you, (Jenny), Wednesday, 4 January 2012 22:40 (twelve years ago) link
iirc they don't have sex, they have sensual awakenings

This reminds me of a bar conversation I had w Nabisco once about how the perfect city girlfriend eats almost nothing, consumes no resources that you'll have to pay for, and takes up so little space that you can fold her up and store her in a closet--just right for your cramped apartment, much like a piece of low-budget exercise equipment.

^^ I must have terrible taste, bcz I did not feel that way at all about ch. 3.

I don't know, the Olsens consumed a lot of expensive drugs if the stories and pictures are to be believed.

did anyone notice the text under the last one, "They continue with it simply because of apathy - a characteristic found among whores the world over."

Oh man, I totally didn't. That's perfect.

Actually, on looking over it again: the interplay between the background text and the romantic lines is genius throughout.
