On The Plus Side

That was a pun! Anyway, a nurse found an intruder in her home armed with a hammer and strangled him with her bare hands. I noticed that the news article mentioned her size:

”[The intruder], about 5-foot-9 and 180 pounds, had convictions including conspiracy to commit aggravated murder, robbery, drug charges and possession of burglary tools. Neighbors said [Susan] Kuhnhausen's size -- 5-foot-7 and 260 pounds -- may have given her an advantage.”

So there’s an advantage of being a big, strong woman. You can strangle intruders. God forbid you’d ever need to, of course.

Also, regarding the previous post (debate still going strong, as per usual, all you fabulous people) please welcome anne as a poster to Big Fat Deal. She says "fuck" more than I do; we're lucky to have her.

So are there two Annes now? If so, I like them both -- I'm just curious.

Yes! Hi! And there is just the one me; there were some weird problems when Pie added me as an author, and she had to re-add me. I think that's why I'm listed twice.

Either that, or it is a fat joke.

Beth, I think you can definitely go with "awesome." I'm pretty sure you'd be safe with her, even in a dark alley, unless you were armed with a hammer and with definite Harmful Intent.

She's definitely someone I'd like looking after me in a crisis. It says a lot for not being a fragile little thing, at least upon occasion, doesn't it? This is not a slam at women who are either fragile or little! It's just it's so often a body size and type women are made to feel as if they should conform to and with, and as if they're "failures" if they can't conform. Nice to see that nonconformity can save your life. :)

And Anne, Welcome! Welcome! (Just in case there ARE two of you.)

Update on the "killer nurse" (from the front page of the Oregonian today): apparently, the guy who attacked her in her house was a hit man hired by her ex-husband.

I know! Isn't that cool? Who cares if she's "large"? She's an ordinary woman who strangled a fucking hit man who attacked her with a claw hammer!
