    That would be a compliment in my case. It’s more like-

        It’s weird how perspective can change. Like, I’m looking at this and my initial thought is that he’s obviously fat, but he doesn’t seem comically fat.

        (It’s sort of like watching Seinfeld now and hearing all the fat jokes directed at George)

          I wonder how much of that shift is due to cultural changes since then, but also how much was just the “bit” that he was playing up how “fat” he was. It’s probably a hefty amount (hehe) of both, bc regardless of the general population, the media itself at one point avoided thicker people.

            It was largely a bit. John Candy was more what would have been considered abnormally fat at the time.

          It’s a matter of perspective and confidence … when Chris Farley does it, it’s sexy and funny … I’m not as pudgy as Chris but if I did that, I would look disturbing and even frightening.

    Same for that push-up bra, so I’d say we’re evenly matched.

    Am I misunderstanding this, but wouldn’t Spock be unable to exaggerate if he was full-blooded Vulcan?

      I believe the implication at the time was that this was either his human side coming out, or that he figured out how to lie after spending so much time around humans.

      There can also probably be exceptions in his mind, like he’s not lying for the sake of lying, he’s using encoded messages to deceive an enemy trying to kill them.

      He does something similar in TUD trying to delay their return to space dock to save Kirk and Bones.

      A lie?

      Spock: an error.
