Nancy Drew doesn't pee?
Neither do any of the other characters in the classic detective novels.


THe Hardy Boys don't pee either for that matter..

Can't take the time for a potty break!

Unless some important plot device needs a bathroom, most characters don't pee.

Did you ever notice that comics that notice things are really annoying?
Methinks that someone was just a wee (giggles) bit too upset at the lack of material for Nancy Drew urine fetish slash fiction.

That, my friend, is why I roleplay. Hee hee!

Waverly stopped. "Hang on, I'm going to have to hang up on you, Daddy... I really need to pee!" the girl stated into the telephone clearly. Her father nodded, then recalled... (Post is three paragraphs long)

Why do you want me to? It doesn't talk about an eight year old peeing. It goes into her ripping heads off Barbies.

All the great novels include blinking, why just read this exciting excerpt from Oliver Twist:
Noah Claypole ran along the streets at his swiftest pace, and paused not once for breath, until he reached the workhouse-gate. Having rested here, for a minute or so, blinked twice, to collect a good burst of sobs and an imposing show of tears and terror, he knocked loudly at the wicket, blinking rapidly; and presented such a rueful face, in between blinks to the aged pauper who opened it, that even he, who saw nothing but rueful faces about him at the best of times, started back in astonishment.
"Why, what's the matter with the boy!" said the old pauper, opening and shutting his eyes like windows that were opened and shut alot.

"Mr. Bumble! Mr. Bumble!" cried Noah, with well-affected dismay and a well placed flash of his eye lids: and in tones so loud and agitated, that they not only caught the ear of Mr. Bumble himself, who happened to be hard by, but alarmed him so much that he rushed into the yard without his cocked hat, though with several blinks,- which is a very curious and remarkable circumstance: as showing that even a beadle, acted upon by a sudden and powerful impulse, may be afflicted with a momentary visitation of loss of self-possession, and forgetfulness of personal dignity.
See, blinking is always a part of classic works, even though it is repetitive and must be mentioned constantly.

I think what Pantylavnia was refering to was the fact that they don't always, constantly and forever mention their blinking, and as a small time writer (ok, maybe not small time even, but I'm in the process of writing a book ^_^;;;) I realize that if I ever were to mention everytime a character blinks, it'd be 20 pages unto itself. Of course, I am just putting words into Panty's mouth, so I have no idea.

so guys *blink* this is a very *blink* intersting topic *breath". YOu *blink* are right, I never read *blink/shake leg* about how people need to *scratch arm* pee or blink or anyting *breath* relating to normal daily *blink* activities, I mean *suck up saliva/stop shaking leg* they never do it *blink*, *breath* maybe *resumes shaking leg* it is because it*blink* is not important *breath*. perhaps *saliva thing* because it is not necessary to the *blink twice* for the plot and peopel dont really think it is necessary to *blink* point out that the person *breath* has to go pee... I too *blink* have thought about this in the past*saliva thing* but gave up *blink* as I decided it was not necessary to include such useless *blink* information *breath*.

Yupp... that was pointless, and if you read it I was able to waste probably 20 seocnds of your life!!! It is mine now

Well, technically, it was closer to 40 seconds, because the constant blinking and breathing makes it harder to maintain a constant reading speed. But anway, would that amount of time technically belong to the Past, not you? I mean, it's not as if you're going to live 20/40 seconds longer because you made us waste our time.

I saw Scooby take a dump in the back of the mystery van. He then asked Shaggy if he had any rutt-ripe.
