From The Blacksmith’s Tale
By Spider Robinson


God, she was a sweet pillowy armful! I’ve had a few of the bony women that everyone else claims to like: nothing to squeeze, nothing to admire, I had to be careful with my weight, I was afraid to let go for fear I might bruise something, and even so my pubic bone got sore. A woman like Mary, now: you can roll around on a woman like that. You can let yourself go, secure in the awareness that the system is roomy an cushioned, and you can explore forever with out running out of things to see and appreciate, and you find, time after time, so often that I’m tempted to say always, that passion and compassion and sensuality each double for every pound above so-called “optimum weight.” Take your skinny women and stack them up in the same receptacle with hard beds and cold showers and red line exercise and “ natural” food and all the other things everyone earnestly pursues in the belief that pleasure and pain are nature’s diabolical attempts to trick us, that the less you enjoy a thing the better it must be for you; Take ‘em and stick ‘em, and give me something a man can enjoy!


Man, I wish that I could write prose like that!
 
I love Spider Robinson. I had a line from Time Travellers Strictly Cash stuck in my head for like 3 weeks after i read it, but of course it's gone now...
 
It's a trick! It's a trick! Don't post!

Samuari just wants to find all the large women on Litty so he can round them up and corner the market. Oppose the marker cornerer! Oppose him, I say!

Does posting make me a large woman?

Oh, but your hubby will whip out the shotgun (his Texan right, after all), and it'll be curtains for poor ol' bink.

Throughout much of my life, some of my favorite people were large women: my grandma (my mom's a beanpole like me), several of my favorite teachers, my first girlfriend. What's not to like?

Hmmm... yup, that's me! I'm "roomy and cushioned." I like it. :)

I must be lost. I thought this was the Anna Nicole Smith thread.


Sizes 6-12................... depending upon height................ sheer perfection. No rib counting, no bone bumping. Absolute pleasure is all that can be found with a pleasantly figured woman!

Does your room come with a view?
 
*humbly bows*

All hail Spider Robinson, patron saint of the Rubenesque Women!

That's me, too. I like it, but i like the men who feel that way more. :D

Oh no, to think women these sizes should consider themselves large! I guess in the days of size 0 actresses, a 6 or 12 can seem big. Or you date women who are 3'8"??
 
I used to date a woman who stood 6' 3"

I'm 6' 0" and 165 lbs, and she could bend over, scoop me up off the couch, and carry me away. She could stand flat footed at stoplights on a tall Buell sportbike, while I would have to be on the tips of my toes. Double D breasts looked small on her.

Thanks for pointing that out mistress...someone has a weird perception of what a larger woman is. The "average" woman is 5'4'' and 145 lbs...generally a 12/14. A "larger woman" is someone who generally falls somewhere above that.

All hail the god that is spider :)

BTW his book night of power made me think about the subject matter for weeks on end....but i think it's out of print these days
:(

And...I don't know how new this is, but I just found an anthology of short stories that take place at lady sally's...whooo hooo
 
It wasn't so long ago a size 12 was not large. Her name was Marilyn Monroe...and I think actually she also wore a 14 at times. My ex is a Monroe nut.

It is just so sad that women think they need to somehow have to stop looking like women to be attractive...sigh
 
I once made out with my best friend (she's a size 2) and her hip bone almost stabbed me. I like a larger woman with hips and breasts and an ass.
 
You and me both! Well...about the preferences not about making out with your best friend.

Er, that would be Lady Slings the Booze and it is a ways back in the lexicon. There have been several more books added to the Callihan's Universe. Indeed, The Blacksmith's Tale, quoted in the first post, tells about the instalation of a staircase in Callihan's Place that once proudly stood in Lady Sally's. Spider is the most inventive, witty, and thoughtful author that I've stumbled accross since Admiral Bob first seduced me into Sci Fi forty years ago.

I don't understand how North America got so far off track that we stopped wanting our women to look like women. There is no question that we are in the minority both historicy and globaly.
