--- Quote from: Toe on 06 Sep 2012, 22:41 ---Oh sure, it's pretty easy if you turn your forearm so that it's pointing upward (ie wrist above elbow). But that's not what Marten's arm is doing - his wrist is well below his elbow.

So? I carefully adopted Marten's pose, and I can turn my palm up as he is doing without a problem. I can't get my palm horizontal, but nor has Marten; his thumb is clearly higher than his little finger. I'm with Midwesterner on this one.
And you see Marten, Tai can multitask!

I managed this too. And my days of maximum flexibility are past.
pwhodges:
Even I can do it - but none the less, it's far from a natural pose, which is more to the point.
Redball:
But it was a gesture, a quick twist of the arm and hand, not a held position. I arched my arm the same way, and the gesture came naturally to me.
jwhouk:
Meanwhile, I'm suddenly struck by the comparison between Sven and Tai... and I shuddered.
Just a reminder: Metallica and Megadeth.
NotAwesomeAnymore:
But Sven felt like a real Casanova, didn't he? I thought the promiscuity gave him some short-term happiness and was good for his ego, up 'til he met Faye. Tai wanted some commitment and stability, before she knew Dora. Also, Sven's escapades tended to be one-night stands or slightly dishonest, like in a lead-them-on kinda way. In comparison, I figured Tai's poly situation was so dramatic because it was honest and had out in the open vibes.
Sorry I don't have time to go archive diving. I just don't dig the comparison.
