ask ldopa.net: luminosity of the body

February 9th, 2006

Dear ldopa.net,

If you had to choose one part of your body to uncontrollably and constantly glow — given that the intensity of the glow was so great that it would shine right through your clothing with no hope of concealment — what body part would you choose? Also given: you cannot choose your nipples or your genitalia.

    I would choose my eyes so I could make a killing in horror movies.

  • Carrie

    Seems to me that acheiving rear luminosity is prime motivation for an ass transplant. Is this technology available now?

  • http://ldopa.net Jeff

    I was going to say ass, if only for the sheer unalloyed eroticism; but ultimately I have to go with “palms and pads of hands” because of the usefulness.

    My peni— oh. No? OK.

    Then my nip— No?? Crap!

    Then definitely from my esophagus through my intestines. I’d be like Laurie Anderson!! Plus, light-up bung!

    It looks like “ass” is the popular choice, Jon’s appearance in Thriller 2006 notwithstanding.

  • Jason

    Clavicle

    I’ve always thought that to be the sexiest bone. And no one has fat collarbones.

    Oo! Can I change my answer to “Fat”?

  • tucker

    I’d have to go with fingertips. Think of how fun that would be in movie theaters.

    I’m stickin’ with fat.

    Done, and done:

    Okay, not quite shine-through-your-clothes bright, but still cool.

  • Carrie

    Holy frikin cow. That is awesome. Thank you Heather, you just made my day.

    Count me in for spine.

    People would just think I was a _very_ happy Cylon.

  • Carrie

    I told some of the “ladies” I work with about the glowy hands thing. They did not care one whit. Darn them.

    I’m thinking that maybe my first vote, my digestive tract, maybe that would be best.

    I just can’t decide.

    Brain, spinal cord and teeth. Imagine that coming at you with the lights out between the sheets (for real-life-horror fans only).

    Shoot. you said one part only…
    Well, then it would be body hair.
