>> I know a lady who would have a geekgasm if you *actually* had a six-foot windjammer in your den and she got to see it in person... she was once crew on the modern-day Lady Washington... <<
I think I filked that.
And I wasn't making that example out of whole cloth. While I don't build model ships, I have seen the giant ones. Someone I knew in high school invited everyone over for a birthday party. I was more fascinated by his father's collection of massive model ships. Can you imagine anything more uncool than your classmate squilling over your dad's dumb collection that clogs a whole room of the house? But I've never forgotten that scene. It was breathtaking.
>> (Frankly, if I was to custom-commission such a thing, it would probably be more like three feet, and I think it would have to be the Lady, complete with D-sails. ;) <<
Awesome.
>> Hmmm. Are any of your linguistic exploits easily accessible? <<
