Ever notice how Faulkner looked looked just like an effeminate, gentler Hemingway?

I guess he traded his testosterone for big words with big emotions.

No doubt about that, but he just comes across as a gentler soul to me. Someone who'd sit down, softly smoke a pipe and tell you stories of airplanes and country boys through his cultured mustache. Still very manly, just smooth around the edges.

Whereas Hemingway would just cackle and blow some fucking smoke in your face through his fucking steel wool towel on his chin that looks like a floridan pier with too many barnacles attached.

I don't know, i doubt Hemmingway even knew the answer. What you're quoting is something he said about Faulkner, who was know for using pretty overblown language.

He also meant it as a joke, just sort of a good natured jab at him. The two actually like each other and considered each other to be the best living author.

But both authors show you can do it either way. Faulkner expressed pretty powerful things with big words, Hemmingway did the same with small, sparse language.

It can be done a number of ways.

Think about it like this.

If a girl fucked a /lit/tard and his little 4 inch half soft because he's scared penis how much emotion would she show? None, except a little disgusted maybe but women always feel disgusted because they are whores.

Now imagine if she jumped on a BBC, 12 inches long, 7in girth...now how much emotion would she show?

Is this what's considered big? I'm about 14 inches long, 8 inch girth and always figured I was small.

That's about 36 centimeters. The average adult male measures about 35 from his shoulder to the elbow.

No, your dick isn't really as long as your arm. Sorry to burst your power fantasy.

(Put your wrist next to your pubes; a 36 cm dick would reach the middle of your chest.)
