I just want to point out that Chinese footbinding was a really bad idea and it managed to stick around for a thousand years.

now a board dedicated to darbie starpower is a really excellent idea, so what's this temporary business?

in case you can't tell by my name, i have basic understandings of simple french grammar, and i've seen a lot of movies about exploring the sea...so i'm a pretty well-rounded and informed individual, get me?

no?, check this out:

je suis le mysterieux,
pourqoi est-ce que je suis le mysterieux?
parce que je danse sans motif, et je ne monts jamais emotion.

yeah, that's right, i just told you how it is in possibly misspelled french...

i am the mysterious one,
why is it that i'm the mysterious one?
because I dance without motive and I never show emotion.

yeah, see, i'm a smart guy, that's my point...if this board sticks around i'll teach you guys how to say "Get out of the water!" in seven different languages. seriously.

shhh, il est Momo, le calmar geant de la mer,
Sortons de L'eau!!!!!!!

Darbie Rocks, keep this board forever!!!!!!!!!!!!

that weirdo be my brother...
now you can all see where my oddities stem from...

ahhh its all good - we love you darbie!

Here's a pic I took of Darbie in Utah, it was a fun trip but judging by the reactions of the people there you'd think the Utahians had never seen a giant-sized cartoon woman before. Oh well, we stayed long enough for me to rent a hot air balloon and take this picture of her. I ran out of helium or whatever and almost crashed, but I had my scuba gear with me so it all worked out. It's crazy, since Darbie hardly ever speaks, when she does the words are visible. And colorful. All she ever says though is "Utahkin' to me?", or she recites the alphabet. When she first learned the alphabet we all thought it was really cute and made a big deal about it, but she hasn't stopped showing off since.

I know this is now the Queen's time, but I just wanted to belatedly welcome darbie's weirdo brother to the board and say thank you for sharing such interesting info. Please make yourself at home and have fun posting.

awesome
