It's established that Spo is short for a mouse in general.Mickey wrote:Spo is shorter than Squeak? I honestly never noticed.

Judging from her previous appearances, I thought she was into guys with bigger paws, not taller.Mistacheeeez wrote:So poor Spo, the one girl in the neighborhood that isn't his sister is into taller men, which is just the opposite of what Spo is!
I think it's just a pattern. My grandmother use to do a lot of sewing back in the day, and she owned like 3 thimbles. Granted, I might be wrong, it's been years since I've seen her sew anything or her sewing kit for that matter (was too young at the time really care remembering where stuff that wasn't mine were kept).Number9Dysonsphere wrote:OK, I have never seen a thimble up close and I have a query, would not the liquid poor out of the holes or is it just a pattern used to increase gripping strength.
I always pronounced it s-p-oh, though I have been wrong in regards to pronouncing written names many times in the past and present. I still call Bino, Beano, I guess its because I have read a lot of my dads old Beano comics.pokeblue wrote:I think it's just a pattern.

Also, quick question, after the "Wolf's Clothing" arc, I've been feeling rather self-conscious about how the characters' names are pronounced. How do you guys pronounce Spo's name? :?
A thimble is typically used to protect the fingertips from needles when sewing. As such, it doesn't actually have any holes - kind of defeats the purpose. So, what appears to be holes here is most likely just a close-up design pattern.Number9Dysonsphere wrote:OK, I have never seen a thimble up close and I have a query: would not the liquid pour out of the holes or is it just a pattern used to increase gripping strength?
I used to call him S-P-O, but I stopped because I realized that it's spelled "Spo", if it was S-P-O it would probably be spelled SPO.pokeblue wrote:

Well, my most recent girlfriend was a 6'2" Farmer's Daughter. I'm about 5"11; do the math.You may only click this link if you, too, are into taller girls.
Still, wouldn't the water taste like metal? When I touch that type of metal too much, my hands smell like it until I wash them. It probably wouldn't be an ideal substance for drinking cups.max7345 wrote:A thimble is typically used to protect the fingertips from needles when sewing.

Thimbles are made of a number of materials, including brass or copper, steel or chromed steel, silver, and silver plate over steel. I'm sure they can find one that won't impart an unpleasant taste to the water.1071-CCN wrote:Still, wouldn't the water taste like metal?

Oh god that would be cruel! XDSaturn381 wrote:So would Spo be considered a midget in the mouse world?
yes, but my machine doesn't have anything that looks like that on it. also how in the world would you get you finger under the foot in the first place? that gap is pretty small.Argent wrote:Also, come on, doesn't anyone sew any more?
thimbles were around long before sewing machines, they help when hand sewing things. it's hard to make sure the needle doesn;t hit your finger while you're pushing it through the fabric.Buster wrote:yes, but my machine doesn't have anything that looks like that on it. also how in the world would you get you finger under the foot in the first place? that gap is pretty small.

Also Fido said that "Spo" only sounds like a half a name, like it's cut off, and let's be honest, S-P-O sounds like more of a name than "Spo" does.
