That sounds interesting. Link it?
I was hunting for it, but I had to stop to prepare for class. It's somewhere in the April 2008 range.
(If it doesn't turn up, I'll track it down after class.)
...half-cocked grand theories about life constantly. Having a hundred people reflect on your ideas will bring a quick end to that practice.
There are two kinds of people...
(Also, before anyone wastes much of their time: I don't think I elaborated very much in the original.)
The hight of alure is having people debate your grand, half-thought through pronouncements seriously.
I was actually about to post a grand, half-thought-out pronouncement. OH WELL.
The hight of alure
One of Tolkien's lesser-known monsters.
The height of allure is having people mock your abysmal spelling.
The Alot of Alure.
(BTW, my earlier comparison of Heebs to the Hyperbole 1/2 writer was not intended to imply that one is imitating the other)
Live Journal? People still use that?
The height of a lure depends on what sort of fish you are trying to catch.
12 - It's huge in Russia, representing something like 40% of Russian-language blogging. (There's a reason 6A sold it to the Russians.)
Having slacked off on commenting lately, it seems pretty lame to jump back in with just, "I agree with the OP." But there it is.
I kind of thought people would be interested in discussing the height of allure. So steamy! But apparently not.
I'm putting jelly beans in plastic eggs again, for a book signing tomorrow.
On the plastic bag they claim that Blueberry + Blueberry + Buttered Popcorn = Blueberry Muffin. I seriously doubt that.

I sent you an e-mail . . . which is sort of coincidentally related but not in response to the post.
I mean, I would love to *read* about the height of allure, but my historical record sort of militates against offering opinions of my own on that matter...
I got the email, Nick! It was right as I was on this posting tear, so I was hanging on to it for a little bit. I'll pop it up tomorrow.

Oh, I missed that part of the post. I agree. Except that there's the massive power differential in that sort of relationship which would make me run from it.
I got the email, Nick!
No worries, I just thought it was an amusing coincidence. Though now I feel like I've hijacked the topic with, "men can be alluring too." When I sent it I was thinking of it as a contrast to the various unfogged threads about women.

the height of allure is someone unobtainable, who inexplicably is pursuing you. I think that holds up.
But if they're pursuing you, albeit inexplicably, they're presumably no longer unobtainable, so the allure is no longer at its height, by definition. This could be a very depressing world view.
