| He had hair like Gloria Estefan. I wonder if you'll get him as surely as the rhythm will get you? | Auburn hair |
| He was adamant that he didn't have red hair, and complained that everyone made that mistake. So I would characterize his hair color as "defensive." | Auburn hair |
| He was hirsute in a manner I can only characterize as aithochrous. Huzzah for the thesaurus! | Auburn hair |
| Her hair was robin's-chest not-quite-brown. Whoa, now that I say that out loud, I think it'd make a great baby name, right? | Auburn hair |
| Her hair was the second letter in that classic color acronym, RAY G BIV. I wonder how the Bivs are doing these days. | Auburn hair |

| His hair was like a red delicious apple five seconds or so after someone throws it into a campfire. I work summers at a pretty unruly sleepaway camp. | Auburn hair |

| I got a good look at your suspect -- he had some red locks, some brown locks, and a whole bunch of broken combination locks. | Auburn hair |
| I told him he had great hair, then asked where I could get a reddish-brown wig like that. Then I was like, "Aw, burn!" | Auburn hair |

| I'm going to describe her hair as russet, as I don't feel its true hue can be captured by the standard colors. I'm sort of an amateur poet like that. | Auburn hair |

| He complained that people judge him as stupid because of his hair color. Then he turned around, saw me, and realized he'd been complaining to a mailbox. | Blonde hair |

| For all this lady stole, she seemed concerned someone might try to snatch her body. Probably why she had it under guard. | Bodyguard |

| She showed up with a right-hand man, who in fairness looked like he could do plenty of damage with any of his appendages. | Bodyguard |

| Her food was like her dedication to theft: hungry for more an hour later. | Chinese food |

| I offered him broccoli, but he insisted on bok choi. Is it strange that I offered the broccoli? Or that I had the bok choi? | Chinese food |

| She had some really interesting ideas about the future of the scallion pancake. Whatever her crimes, we need more thinkers like that. | Chinese food |

| Do you have a box on that checklist for hair? Because hers was dark. | Dark hair |

| His hair absorbed light like his pockets absorbed my money clip. | Dark hair |
| His hair was the color of demon's ichor, or really rich chocolate. Hm, now I'm double-hungry. | Dark hair |
| I heard someone call him raven-haired. Didn't see any scalp-beaks, though. | Dark hair |
| I'd say his hair was pretty close to full-on black, but of course I couldn't say for sure without my light meter. Wait, where are you going? | Dark hair |
| It looked like her hair was always in the shadows. Real criminal underworld material, if you ask me! | Dark hair |
| It looked like his hair was always in the shadows. Real criminal underworld material, if you ask me! | Dark hair |
| It's hard to describe her hair color. It was almost like every color at once. | Dark hair |
| Judging by his hair, he was up to some real back-alley business. I'm talkin' real shady. | Dark hair |
| She had hair the color of cola. Or was it diet cola? | Dark hair |

| You know that drink, really hot, contains caffeine, comes from beans? Yeah, his hair was like that. I'd remember the word if I weren't so tired. | Dark hair |
| Ever heard the expression "all hat, no cattle?" Well this guy certainly fit the first part. No idea if he has any cattle. | Floppy Hat |
| Every time he stopped moving, his hat took a good 10 seconds to follow suit. | Floppy hat |
| Frankly, it's hard to trust anyone with their faces so shadowed by their hat. | Floppy hat |
| He was wearing a 10 gallon hat, and all 10 appeared to be filled with Jello. | Floppy hat |
| He was wearing what the French would call un grand châpeau. | Floppy hat |
| Her hat seemed to have a life of its own! | Floppy hat |
| His choice of headgear cast a particularly large shadow. | Floppy hat |
| His choice of helmetry seemed droopy. I wonder if there was anything wrong with it. | Floppy hat |
| I couldn't get a good look at her face -- just her brim. | Floppy hat |
| I like a nice, firm hat, that stands tall. I didn't like this girl's hat. | Floppy hat |
| I once read a children's book about a famous cat. This girl shared a taste in apparel, but she appeared less fun-loving. | Floppy Hat |
| I once read a children's book about a famous cat. This guy shared a taste in apparel, but he appeared less fun-loving. | Floppy hat |
| I remember him favoring headwear that looked like an open flower. A crime flower! | Floppy hat |

| I'll never forget what was on her head. Mainly because it hung all the way down to her knees. | Floppy hat |
| I'll never forget what was on his head. Mainly because it hung all the way down to his knees. | Floppy hat |
| It was impossible to make eye contact with him, what with his headborne accessory always getting in the way. Another opportunity for human connection, lost. Hey are you busy later? | Floppy hat |
| She kept trying to hide her face. Or at least, her hat did. Does that make it an accomplice? | Floppy hat |
| She showed up in the kind of headgear that made you think she was compensating for something. | Floppy hat |
| That hat was impressive. Too bad about the face beneath it. | Floppy hat |
| When I saw that the brim of his hat covered his eyes, I couldn't help but feel distrustful towards him. | Floppy hat |
| Whoa, there was a GUY under that hat?! | Floppy hat |
| Dressed like that, I'd guess she was on her way to the opera, or to a Siberian fortress, or to agitate an animal rights activist. | Fur coat |
| He must have just had a long night. It looked like he'd had to crawl inside an animal for warmth and never got out. | Fur coat |
| He seemed cold. Either that, or he was unusually attached to his outerwear. Maybe it was once his pet raccoon dog. | Fur coat |
| He seemed like a real wolf in sheep's clothing. Except his clothing may actually have been wolf. | Fur coat |
| He seemed uncomfortable in his skin, but quite comfortable in something else's skin. | Fur coat |
| He was sweating buckets. Either because he knew you were tracking him, or because of that serious pelt on his body. | Fur coat |
| He was wearing the kind of outerwear you don't want to get wet, unless you've lost your sense of smell. | Fur coat |
| Here's something you can add to the list of things he stole: the luxurious mane of a mink. | Fur coat |

| I can't believe this woman would have the gall to wear the kind of coat she wore, instead of supporting the fake-fur industry. | Fur coat |
| I know that some local animal-rights demonstrators had just thrown a can of paint on her coat. I had to resist saying "that's what I call a coat of paint!" | Fur coat |
| I saw her and thought, why not just wear a nice trench coat? At least that's a victimless coat! | Fur coat |
| If his coat had a name, it would definitely be Harry. Sorry, that's just how I think. | Fur coat |
| My dog growled at her coat -- this pooch here's got strong hunting instincts but can't always tell when something's still alive. | Fur coat |
| She was sweating buckets. Either because she knew you were tracking her, or because of that serious pelt on her body. | Fur coat |
| What he was wearing could only be described as "lustrous." I had a strong urge to comb it. | Fur coat |
| When he first walked in, I though, "Oh my goodness, a bear!" Though it would have been more accurate to have mistaken him for a man-sized chinchilla. | Fur coat |
| Yeah, I judged him for what he was wearing. But then, my second cousin was a luxuriously furred sable. Long story. | Fur coat |
| You want to talk about luxury? Let me tell you about what he was wearing to keep warm. No, not a priceless painting. Though that would admittedly be more luxurious. | Fur coat |
| From what I saw, if you do catch her it'll be one more in a long line of bad draws. | Gambling |
| From what I saw, if you do catch him it'll be one more in a long line of bad draws. | Gambling |

| He looked up at the sun and grumbled something about wishing he were still in the casino. | Gambling |
| He said he always bet on black. And green. And red. And whichever other colors you were allowed to bet on. | Gambling |
| He said he wasn't used to being in a place with so few mirrors, so many clocks, and no cards to count. I told him I had a couple in my wallet, if that helped. | Gambling |
| He seemed taken aback when I didn't offer him free drinks just for being here | Gambling |
| He was the kind of guy who wouldn't commit to a crime unless he knew the Vegas odds of success. And that includes casino heists in Vegas. | Gambling |
| He was very distracted. He kept checking his fantasy football team, his fantasy hockey team, his fantasy fantasy team-owner team, and his fantasy slot machine. | Gambling |
| I'd give you good odds that this lady was calculating the odds on everything she saw. And putting money on anything in her favor. | Gambling |
| If you're going to catch him, you'd better have an ace up your sleeve. Because he'd stuffed a bunch into his pant legs. | Gambling |
| Not only did she say she was on a crime spree, she was making bets on the over-under for how much she would steal. | Gambling |
| She said she always bet on black. And green. And red. And whichever other colors you were allowed to bet on. | Gambling |
| She said she had to see a man about a horse, then stopped and dropped a thousand bucks at the race track on her way to the bathroom. | Gambling |
| She said she was only stealing so she could invest the loot in the next crime to try to double her money. When I saw her, she was down to a plastic cup full of nickels. | Gambling |
| She said, "let's make this interesting," and then put money down on whether I knew what she meant by that. | Gambling |
| She seemed taken aback when I didn't offer her free drinks just for being here. | Gambling |
| Well if you don't catch him, a loan shark probably will. From what I saw, he's pretty much an injured loan seal. | Gambling |
| When you catch him, you should check his pockets. He kept saying he had kings in there! | Gambling |
| Based on what I saw, you're looking for a woman with eyes like pineapple fronds. In terms of color, not spikiness. | Green eyes |
| Between you and me, assuming I'm yellow and you're blue, were her eyes. | Green eyes |
| Between you and me, assuming I'm yellow and you're blue, were his eyes. | Green eyes |

| Her eyes were like two grasshoppers. Not just in color: they were unnervingly jumpy. | Green eyes |

| Her eyes were the color of a popular canned vegetable spokesman, though they were anything but jolly. And also average-sized. | Green eyes |
| His eyes were like the very grass we're standing on. Yes, I planted grass here in preparation for that simile. | Green eyes |
| His eyes were the color of my mother's thumb. My mother was a gardener, you see. | Green eyes |

| How are you going to find this woman? You look totally inexperienced! Come to think of it, so did her eyes. | Green eyes |
| I had a good look at his eyes. To paraphrase a famous frog, it's not easy being that color. | Green Eyes |
| I was jealous of his eye color, which was certainly appropriate. | Green eyes |
| I would describe his eyes as a mix between the color of emeralds, and the color of the cash you get from fencing emeralds. | Green eyes |
| If eyes are the windows to the soul, this guy had some pretty lush vegetation growing in his soul. | Green eyes |
| Just looking at this girl made me feel ill. Actually her eyes were the color of my face at the time. | Green eyes |
| Just looking at this guy made me feel ill. Actually his eyes were the color of my face at the time. | Green eyes |
| Leaves! The girl's eyes were the color of leaves! In the summer, of course. I suppose autumn doesn't really narrow it down. | Green eyes |
| She had eyes like jade, and a suspiciously large number of stones like jade. | Green eyes |
| You know, his eyes reminded me of a lush rainforest. I wonder if they also contained exotic medicinal cures! | Green eyes |
| He had a colorful personality, and equally colorless hair. | Grey hair |
| He had a lot more youthful energy than his hair would suggest. And let me tell you, it was pretty suggestive hair. | Grey hair |
| He had hair so silvery, he'd have stolen it if it weren't already his. | Grey hair |
| He had hair the color of Gandalf, when he was still only sort of incredibly powerful. | Grey hair |
| He had what I would describe as "the most grizzled possible hair." He can put that on the movie poster if he wants. | Grey hair |
| He was slate-headed, and come to think of it was also carrying a slate. On which he'd sketched a very convincing self-portrait | Grey hair |
| Her hair was monochromatic, and I mean that in the most achromatic possible way. | Grey hair |
| He's led a stressful life, judging by the color of his hair. That or he's just too lazy to get it dyed. | Grey hair |
| How do I put this? He had hair like the goose most likely to sell vodka. | Grey hair |
| I'll tell you this much: if her hair were a woman from history, it'd have ruled England for 9 days in 1553. | Grey hair |
| Once I saw her hair I had to stop myself from asking how old she was. No particular reason, it's just a problem I have in social situations. | Grey hair |
| She had hair like a freshly-burned pile of documents revealing her next destination. | Grey hair |
| She had hair the color of overcast skies. Kind of ruined my day, to be honest. | Grey hair |
| She had salt-and-pepper hair, though to be clear I'm not saying I'd use her hair to season food. You'd be surprised how many people jump to that conclusion. | Grey hair |
| She had the hair of someone who's been around the block, or at least of someone with a lot of dye and a need to look distinguished. | Grey hair |
| She had what I would describe as "the most grizzled possible hair." She can put that on the movie poster if she wants. | Grey hair |
| She was all steely locks, and steely lockpicks. | Grey hair |
| She was slate-headed, and come to think of it was also carrying a slate. On which she'd sketched a very convincing self-portrait. | Grey hair |
| She's led a stressful life, judging by the color of her hair. That or she's just too lazy to get it dyed. | Grey hair |
| You know how some hair is a little brown and a little blonde, or a little red and a little auburn? Well, hers was a little black and a lot white. | Grey hair |
| You know how some hair is a little brown and a little blonde, or a little red and a little auburn? Well, his was a little black and a lot white. | Grey hair |
| You might think he's evil, but judging by his hair he's of a more ambiguous morality. | Grey hair |
| He looked like a stone cold killer. Of weeds and other garden pests. Otherwise he seemed quite gentle. | Horticulture |
| He said he was "planting the seeds" for "something big," then explained he was referring to his pumpkin garden, and wasn't quite sure why he was using air quotes. | Horticulture |
| He showed up carrying a hand trowel, a garden hose, canvas gloves, and a mini-rake. But you say he's a thief? I guess you could use that stuff to rob a very timid bank teller. | Horticulture |
| He spoke at length about keeping carrots out of the eggplant rows and segregating the turnips from the rest of the garden. I think he was a bit Root-ist. | Horticulture |
| He told me he knew of eleven secret herbs and spices that you could grow as part of a relaxing and productive pastime. | Horticulture |
| He wanted to know where to buy fertilizer, though he smelled like he had plenty of it. | Horticulture |
| He was the first person I've ever seen with a mobile compost pile. Good place to hide stolen lettuce, right? | Horticulture |
| He was training bees to do his bidding. Not sure what crime involves pollinating his flower garden, though. | Horticulture |
| I could tell he was digging around for something. Probably the best place to plant a row of petunias. | Horticulture |
| I thought he was smuggling drugs, but it turned out those little packets were full of tulip and marigold seeds. Unless that's some kind of drug I don't know about. | Horticulture |
| In the criminal landscape, he was the one who planted the seeds of chaos. And the literal seeds, also. | Horticulture |
| In the criminal landscape, she was the one who planted the seeds of chaos. And the literal seeds, also. | Horticulture |
| Like Mary, Mary, she was quite contrary, and she spent a good deal of time worrying about how her garden grows. | Horticulture |
| She is a growing threat. And by that I mean, a threat that grows things. | Horticulture |
| She looked like a stone cold killer. Of weeds and other garden pests. Otherwise she seemed quite gentle. | Horticulture |

| She told me she knew of eleven secret herbs and spices that you could grow as part of a relaxing and productive pastime. | Horticulture |
| She was concerned about greenhouse gases. Not the kind that warm the earth, the kind that her dog emitted if it started rooting around in her greenhouse. | Horticulture |
| She wasn't afraid to call a spade a spade, or a telescopic bypass lopper a telescopic bypass lopper. | Horticulture |
| Spending five minutes around this guy got me pretty excited about planting bulbs and tubers. The excitement wore off when I looked at a potato. | Horticulture |
| Spending five minutes around this lady got me pretty excited about planting bulbs and tubers. The excitement wore off when I looked at a potato. | Horticulture |
| The girl had a green thumb-- figuratively. Her actual thumbs were the color of the rest of her hands. Does that help you sketch her? | Horticulture |
| The woman was twisted. I saw her hanging tomato plants upside down. Maybe she was torturing them to admit whether they were fruits or vegetables. | Horticulture |
| With those dirt stains all over her pants, she looked like she had just come back from burying something valuable. I'm thinking goldenrod. | Horticulture |
| At first I thought he was bowing respectfully, then I realized he just had bad posture. For a second there, I felt so flattered! | Hunched body type |
| Boy did he slouch. Probably the last person I'd nominate to carry a stack of important books from this room to the next on his head, and I'll swear to that in court. | Hunched body type |
| He complained about never being let on to amusement park rides. I told him maybe he should try standing up straight. | Hunched body type |
| He seemed sad at first. Then I saw him smiling and I realized it was just his posture that made him look depressed. | Hunched body type |
| He walked like he had a cane, even though he didn't. So disappointing! I'm something of a cane enthusiast. | Hunched body type |
| His back had a mighty hump. Could probably store a lot of extra water in there. | Hunched body type |
| His posture made me think he would have benefited from a lumbar brace. | Hunched body type |
| I had to lean down to hear what she was saying. She was saying, "If you want to hear me, you'll have to lean down. I can't straighten up higher than this." | Hunched body type |
| I thought he was searching for something on the ground, but it turned out that was just his posture. Still, he did find a rare bottle cap. | Hunched body type |
| I told her to fix her posture, and she glared at me like I was probably the thousandth person to tell her that | Hunched body type |
| If doing the limbo allowed you to bend forward, she'd be a natural for it. Shame it doesn't; maybe if she'd been a hit at parties she wouldn't have turned to crime. | Hunched body type |
| If his posture is anything like his criminal lifestyle, good luck trying to straighten this guy out. | Hunched body type |
| I'm not one to judge, but he had terrible posture. Wait, I am one to judge; I'm a physical therapist! | Hunched body type |
| Let's just say I don't think it's going to take her much effort to keep her head down. | Hunched body type |
| Look, go easy on the lady when you catch her. She had the posture of a Notre Dame bellringer. | Hunched body type |
| Looked to me like he suffered from kyphosis, but I'm not a doctor, so I can't know for sure. | Hunched body type |

| She walked like she had a cane, even though she didn't. So disappointing! I'm something of a cane enthusiast. | Hunched body type |
| So he's an international thief? He was so bent over, I imagine he'd have trouble stealing things from high shelves. | Hunched body type |
| He had a pretty innovative frozen custard recipe. The main innovation was the way he stole it from its creator. | Ice cream truck |
| His wheels had this scary picture of a clown on the front. Not the way I take my frozen dessert, thank you very much. | Ice cream truck |
| My advice? If you want to catch this girl, chill. Then you'll be acclimated to the temperature of her ride's walk-in freezer. | Ice cream truck |
| No way, you're investigating the frozen dessert guy? I knew Rocky Road wasn't supposed to have shredded bank records in it. | Ice cream truck |
| Oh, that guy? You say he's an internationally-wanted criminal? Well then it's EXTRA weird that his van's calliope was playing "I Fought the Law." | Ice Cream Truck |
| Oh, that woman? You say she's an internationally-wanted criminal? Well then it's EXTRA weird that her van's calliope was playing "I Fought the Law." | Ice cream truck |
| One taste of his Chocolate Peanut Crunch and I was in heaven. By the time I recovered, my ATM card was in his pocket. | Ice cream truck |
| She had a pretty innovative frozen custard recipe. The main innovation was the way she stole it from its creator. | Ice cream truck |
| She must be really fond of ice cream - why else would she drive that truck? I didn't see her selling any of it! | Ice cream truck |
| She told me she had a plan to make a mint. Then she gestured at the rest of her flavors and said that's what had been missing. | Ice cream truck |
| Some people sell fro-yo, but after tasting his, I'm pretty sure it was fraud-yo. | Ice cream truck |
| The amount of mint chip he went through in this neighborhood, you'd think his vehicle ran on it. Which I guess it did, in a paying-for-gas sort of way. | Ice cream truck |
| The neighborhood kids loved this girl, even after their houses got burgled. Must've been some chipwich. | Ice cream truck |
| The way he drove around, you could hear him coming a mile away. Especially if you had a sweet tooth. | Ice cream truck |
| The way she drove around, you could hear her coming a mile away. Especially if you had a sweet tooth. | Ice Cream Truck |
| When he drove away, it was like the circus left town. Or at least, the part of it that sold concessions. | Ice cream truck |
| When you catch your suspect, there'll be an entire freezer-full of bomb pops in it for you. Now isn't that better than justice? | Ice cream truck |
| You know how some cars come with automatic windows? Hers came with automatic soft-serve. | Ice cream truck |
| You know how some cars come with automatic windows? His came with automatic soft-serve. | Ice cream truck |
| You know how there are those popsicles with riddles printed on the stick? Her popsicles were like that, only the sticks came with PIN codes. | Ice cream truck |
| You know, I've always had a sweet tooth. Oh! Maybe that's why I was so eager to hijack her truck! Ahem. Excuse me, I have to go. | Ice cream truck |
| You know, I've always had a sweet tooth. Oh! Maybe that's why I was so eager to hijack his truck! Ahem. Excuse me, I have to go. | Ice cream truck |
| You want a real scoop? Then you should have caught this girl before she left town. | Ice cream truck |
| Did you know there's actually a difference between a trattoria, an osteria, and a ristorante? Because this guy did and he wouldn't shut up about it. | Italian food |
| He blitzed me with what must've been a dozen opinions on pasta shapes. Took 'till the next day to notice my watch was gone. | Italian food |
| He had a craving for balsamic-marinated octopus. It paired well with my craving for other company. | Italian food |
| He had strong opinions about whether it was okay just to order a primi piatti, or if you had to get the secondi as well. I cut him off before he could weigh in on dessert. | Italian food |
| He said he'd tried every kind of olive from Sicily to Milan. I said it was time for a new hobby. | Italian food |
| He wanted a meal to complement, in his words, a "1945 Brunello di Montalcino di someone else." | Italian food |
| He wouldn't let me go until I'd tried his pasta fagioli. Which, larceny aside, was its own crime against society. | Italian food |
| His bolognese was incredible. Probably should've believed him when he said he'd stolen the recipe. Also, why did I try some random guy's bolognese? | Italian food |
| I don't know if I've ever met a guy that into linguine alle vongole. Not even Count Vongole himself. | Italian food |
| I remember him saying he could eat a meal fit for a Pope. I also remember picturing an excited Pope in a bib. | Italian food |
| I thought she was carrying a weapon. Turned out her pockets were full of garlic bread and penne. | Italian food |
| If she talked one more time about how much more "connected to history" she felt while rolling her own pasta, I'd have put her through the fettucini shredder. | Italian food |
| I'm telling you, the guy reeked of tiramisu. | Italian food |
| It was gruesome. She showed up covered in marinara sauce, like she'd just stuck a knife into someone's spaghetti. | Italian food |
| She offered to feed me, but only if she could cover my table with a red-and-white checkered tablecloth first. | Italian food |
| She was carrying a sack of canned tomatoes in one hand, and a much lighter sack of stolen diamonds in the other. Wonder which one she was making into sauce? | Italian food |
| She wouldn't let me go until I'd tried her pasta fagioli. Which, larceny aside, was its own crime against society. | Italian food |
| She wouldn't stop asking where in town was best for, and I quote, "Abbondanza!" | Italian food |
| The woman had a lot of opinions about focaccia. Last time I ever ask a stranger about flatbread. | Italian food |
| He did some critical work to shatter the glass ceiling, specifically by blasting through it when he took off. | Jetpack |
| He flew through the air with the greatest of ease! He wore goggles and protective covering on his elbows and knees! Hm, back to the couplet drawing board. | Jetpack |
| Her vehicle had a hybrid engine: both solid oxygen and rocket fuel. | Jetpack |
| I didn't even know we had airspace until he violated it. | Jetpack |
| I wonder if her ride had an ejector seat, given that it didn't have a seat in the first place. | Jetpack |
| I wonder if his ride had an ejector seat, given that it didn't have a seat in the first place. | Jetpack |
| I'd describe her means of travel as half jump belt, half Himmelstürmer. I wish there were a way to combine those names that sounded as cool as "labradoodle." | Jetpack |
| Let me tell you, when she took off from here, she really took off. Didn't request tower clearance or anything. | Jetpack |
| Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's your suspect! | Jetpack |
| Oh yeah, he came through here for a second. Actually it was more like a half-second, and all I really heard was a loud FWOOSH. | Jetpack |
| remember him because he refused to land in the designated zone! This is exactly why I never got on board with personal air travel! | Jetpack |
| That guy was more than a one-man wrecking crew. He was a one-man airplane. | Jetpack |
| The way he drove, I know I wouldn't want to be in his airspace. | Jetpack |
| The way she got around, well, it really made you feel like you were living in the future. Then it made you cough for a while, thanks to the engine fumes. | Jetpack |
| There was such a fuss when he landed here, no one even noticed that his engine exhaust ruined my begonias. Such is the life of the begonia enthusiast. | Jetpack |
| Until you catch him, he's free as a bird. Come to think of it, he's also airborne as a bird. | Jetpack |
| You know how kites fly around? She was like that, only no string, and less kite, and add a vertical-takeoff turbine engine. | Jetpack |
| You should have seen the way she swooped around in the air, just like a bird, with an engine strapped to its back. | Jetpack |
| Your suspect had her head in the clouds. Until she landed, anyway. | Jetpack |
| A life of crime? Really? But she seemed so comfortable, with her own driver and everything. | Limousine |
| Cruising around town in a car like that, I thought he was a crime kingpin. But maybe he was merely a crime dukepin. | Limousine |
| Hard to believe she resorted to stealing. With wheels like those, you already look like a million bucks. | Limousine |
| He drove around in one of those upper-class livery deals, the kind that looks like it has free bottles of water inside. | Limousine |
| He invited me into his car for a confab, then asked the driver to roll up the window. Then we talked. Strange. I'd always thought a confab was a kind of dessert. | Limousine |
| He showed up in a town car that looked long enough to fit a whole city. | Limousine |
| His car came stocked with champagne, but at least he wasn't the one driving. Showed good sense for a criminal. | Limousine |
| I couldn't tell if he was on the way to a heist or to the prom. Either way, those photos we took together were pretty awkward. | Limousine |
| If she stole the car she showed up in, she also stole the driver that came with it. | Limousine |
| I'll tell you this much: seeing her fancy chauffeur made me reconsider my career choices. | Limousine |
| It wouldn't be a stretch to say this woman drove a stretch. | Limousine |
| It's not an inconspicuous getaway car if it's 20-feet long with two moon roofs. | Limousine |
| Judging by her ride, she was either one of the richest criminals I've ever seen or was on his way back from the airport. | Limousine |
| Really, that lady was a crook? Come to think of it, her chauffeur did seem underpaid. | Limousine |
| She didn't just have valet parking; she had valet driving-you-around-and-adjusting-your-air-conditioning. | Limousine |
| She drove around in one of those upper-class livery deals, the kind that looks like it has free bottles of water inside. | Limousine |
| She showed up in a town car that looked long enough to fit a whole city. | Limousine |
| She wouldn't get out of her car until her driver opened the door for her. Does that make the driver an accomplice? | Limousine |
| With all the drinks trays her vehicle had, I guess it made sense for her to hire a permanent designated driver. Wish I had that kind of scratch. | Limousine |
| With all the drinks trays his vehicle had, I guess it made sense for him to hire a permanent designated driver. Wish I had that kind of scratch. | Limousine |
| With the car he drove, I figured he was headed to a fancy award show. Now I know what they mean when they say a nominee was "robbed." | Limousine |
| When you catch him, will you ask if he prefers soft or hard corn tortillas? I forgot to ask and it's been bugging me. | Mexican |
| At first I thought she was being rude, but then I realized she actually did have serious "nacho business." | Mexican food |
| He had fajita stains on his fingers. Use a napkin, for Pete's sake! | Mexican food |
| He offered me a bite of his chapulines, and when he told me what they were, I almost choked. | Mexican food |
| He showed up with Oaxaca cheese on his chin. I pointed it out to him, and he stormed out, muttering about Tlayuda. | Mexican food |
| He slathered everything with mole sauce. I was disgusted, until he assured me it's not actually made of subterranean rodents. | Mexican food |
| He stormed out when I told him I didn't have any chipotle-based hot sauce. | Mexican food |
| He was the kind of guy who'd eat anything as long as you put it inside a tortilla. | Mexican food |
| Holy frijoles! I mean it, he stole my prized can of black beans the Pope had blessed. | Mexican food |
| I thought she was calling me a gordita, and I was offended. Turns out she was just trying to order food. | Mexican food |
| If I had to describe her style, I'd say "picante." I may have gotten that idea from the food she was carrying. | Mexican food |
| She gave me a chile look, and then a poblano look, and then a jalapeno look. I don't know why she didn't just come out and say she liked spicy food. | Mexican food |
| She liked her co-conspirators hardened and her ice cream fried. Unless I got that backwards. | Mexican food |
| She said she'd do anything for a quesadilla. That's how I got her watch! | Mexican food |
| She stole the whole enchilada. And didn't even offer me a bite! | Mexican food |
| This guy was real cheesy. Specifically, cotija cheesy. | Mexican food |
| When I asked if he played any musical instruments, he said he definitely enjoyed a good flauta. | Mexican food |
| When you catch her, will you ask if she prefers soft or hard corn tortillas? I forgot to ask and it's been bugging me. | Mexican food |
| Yeah, I remember her. But I'd probably remember anyone who walked in here munching on a wheel of cotija. | Mexican food |
| All she could talk about was counted thread embroidery. | Needlepoint |
| He joked about mixing up his wefts and warps. Maybe he was a wizard or something. | Needlepoint |
| He kept eyeing my shirt-front, like he had plans to redesign it. | Needlepoint |
| He kept muttering that he was the next Rosey Grier. Not for sports though, he wanted to make that clear. | Needlepoint |
| He left behind this spool of thread. Think you can give it back during the arrest? | Needlepoint |
| He said he was one of those people who sees patterns where none exist, but luckily he'd found a hobby that gave him an outlet for that. | Needlepoint |
| He said you'd find him as easily as a needle in a haystack. Come to think of it, he used a lot of sewing metaphors. | Needlepoint |
| He said, "I've been framed!" But then he held up a scroll frame. | Needlepoint |
| He was bragging about his cross stitch, talk about a red flag. No I mean it: he'd sewn an exquisite red flag. | Needlepoint |
| He was really into his Hungarian point stitch. A little too into it. | Needlepoint |
| Her clothes were threadbare, I think because she needed the threads for her upholstery. | Needlepoint |
| His clothes were threadbare, I think because he needed the threads for his upholstery. | Needlepoint |
| His hobby was out there, so out there it reached all the way to the parlors of 18th-century Colonial Williamsburg. | Needlepoint |
| I don't know why any woman would do so much bragging about her petit points. | Needlepoint |
| I saw some of his work, and it was remarkably intricate. Oh - I mean the sewing pattern, not the international theft. | Needlepoint |
| I saw some of his work, and it was remarkably intricate. Oh - I mean the sewing pattern, not the international theft. | Needlepoint |
| She had me in stitches. No wait, she had a pillowcase in stitches. | Needlepoint |
| She kept eyeing my shirt-front, like she had plans to redesign it. | Needlepoint |
| She kept mumbling about all the patterns she was seeing. I told her to put down the needle and slowly back away. | Needlepoint |
| She said her slanted stitch went back to the ancient Egyptians. I told her to go back to someone who cared. | Needlepoint |
| She said she was one of those people who sees patterns where none exist, but luckily she'd found a hobby that gave her an outlet for that. | Needlepoint |
| When I complimented his embroidered eyeglass case, he barked at me that it was a very specific kind of embroidery. Whatever, pal. | Needlepoint |
| He carried a traveling thermos full of smoked pumpkin gazpacho. You ask me, guy like that needs to be locked up. | New American food |
| He demanded to know the recipe for my cilantro-infused duck meatballs. | New American food |
| He left as soon as I told him I didn't have any pastrami-cured tuna. | New American food |
| He must've been a madman - who pairs langoustine with spice-roasted duck?! | New American food |
| He said he was working to perfect, and I swear this is what he said, "a savory meditation on gumbo." What? Come on. Is that even food? | New American Food |
| He said he would die if he couldn't find a helping of pistachio-dusted smoked-tempeh casserole. Whereas I was pretty sure I'd die if I tried it. | New American food |
| He said he'd just come from the market, and I wasn't going to BELIEVE the pliability of the plums he'd bought for his deconstructed cobbler. I told him to go deconstruct himself. | New American food |
| He seemed intent on doing something with two huge bags of frisee and escarole. Can't imagine what, though. | New American food |
| He was ranting and raving about "deconstructed comfort food." | New American food |
| He wouldn't shut up about his plans for an upscale deli sandwich truck. | New American food |
| I can't tell you much about her psychological profile. Just her flavor profile: heavy on the bacon. | New American food |
| I heard her muttering to herself that onions were inferior to ramps. | New American food |
| I offered her some shepherd's pie, but she said she preferred it made with sweet potatoes and turkey glace. | New American food |
| If he recited one more paean to the wonders of pork belly, I was going to be sick to my belly. | New American food |
| I'll tell you this much: he seemed oddly affectionate toward Brussels sprouts. | New American food |
| She disappeared after whispering her secret recipe for haute crawfish gumbo. I'll never look at a crawfish the same way again. | New American food |
| She had some pretty out-there ideas about how many kinds of pear you can put in one salad. | New American food |
| She said she'd just come from the market, and I wasn't going to BELIEVE the pliability of the plums she'd bought for her deconstructed cobbler. I told her to go deconstruct herself. | New American food |
| She wanted me to taste her new recipe for New England clam chowder, but I declined, since I could already smell it. | New American food |
| She wouldn't shut up about her plans for an upscale deli sandwich truck. | New American food |
| Who knew there were so many ways to make a hamburger? She did. | New American food |
| Between you and me, he would have put a glass screen coated in enzymes that made it impossible for anyone to listen in from outside with directional mics. | Paranoia |
| Every time I tried to reason with him, he told me I was "talking math" and then buried his face in a foil bag. | Paranoia |
| He asked if I was wearing a wire. But my glasses are obviously tortoise-shell! | Paranoia |
| He asked me to deny that he was ever here. Is it too late to do that? | Paranoia |
| He gave me a pamphlet, then accused me of being part of the International Brotherhood of Pamphlet Takers. | Paranoia |
| He kept looking around for "bugs." Didn't matter that I'd just had the exterminator in. | Paranoia |
| He kept looking around like someone was watching him. Which frankly made it a lot easier to keep tabs on him. | Paranoia |
| He kept muttering that "they" were out to get him. Well if it were me, I'd be flattered. | Paranoia |
| He seemed to think the whole world was plotting against him. Which is why I thought he was an actor. | Paranoia |
| He thought someone was waiting for him around every corner. Really shouldn't have let him into my octagonal room. | Paranoia |
| He was an endless font of curiosity. At least that's how I interpreted his constant demands to know what I "had on him." | Paranoia |
| His t-shirt said "The truth is out there." In truth, I think he was just really out there. | Paranoia |
| Huh, guess you really are out to get him. | Paranoia |
| If I heard him mention a conspiracy one more time, I was gonna report him to the Illuminati. | Paranoia |
| I'll tell you this much: he refused to drink my tap water and wore an "anti-magnet" bracelet. | Paranoia |
| She asked me to deny that she was ever here. Is it too late to do that? | Paranoia |
| She gave me a pamphlet, then accused me of being part of the International Brotherhood of Pamphlet Takers. | Paranoia |
| She kept talking about "shadowy forces." I told her here, we call those trees. | Paranoia |
| You know how some days you feel like the world's out to get you? That was how he described his year. | Paranoia |
| You know how some days you feel like the world's out to get you? That was how she described her year. | Paranoia |
| You should've heard this woman's conspiracy theories. Did you know Interpol was predicted by the Mayans? | Paranoia |
| He walked like he had a cane, even though he didn't. So disappointing! I'm something of a cane enthusiast. | Peg leg |
| He was a criminal? I had him pegged. Of course, after he lost that limb, he also had himself pegged. | Peg leg |
| He was a real stick-in-the-mud. Well, one of his legs would have been if he were walking on a muddy field. | Peg leg |
| He was surprisingly graceful for a man whose lower body was about 50% wood composite. | Peg leg |
| He was the kind of person who you want to kick in the shin, if one of them wasn't guaranteed to bust your toe. | Peg leg |
| He wasn't just a criminal, he was a criminal accessory. At least that leg was. | Peg leg |
| I hope you take this guy down a peg. Which in his case would leave him one limb down. | Peg leg |
| I would describe him as stiff and wooden. At least one of his lower limbs, that is. | Peg leg |
| If you want to catch this guy, you're going to have to do the legwork. But here's a clue: one of them is made of wood. | Peg leg |
| I'll never forget the sound of him walking: "clop, clop, clop." Like a wooden-shoed, one-legged horse. | Peg leg |
| Keep chasing her. She won't get too far with one limb made of hickory. | Peg leg |
| She said she liked to keep her leg in shape with a daily coat of wood oil. I tried it myself, but my leg's made of the wrong material. | Peg leg |
| She said, "I've never been caught, knock on wood." Then, strangely, she rapped on her shin. | Peg leg |
| She seemed to have lost her leg and replaced it with the nearest available branch. Must have gone to a top-notch tree surgeon. | Peg leg |
| She walked like she had a cane, even though she didn't. So disappointing! I'm something of a cane enthusiast. | Peg leg |
| She was surprisingly graceful for a woman whose lower body was about 50% wood composite. | Peg leg |
| She was trying to lift something, and I told her to bend at the knees. It was awkward, because she only had one of them. | Peg leg |
| She wasn't just a criminal, she was a criminal accessory. At least that leg was. | Peg leg |
| The guy was tough as nails. I think I saw a few of them sticking out of his pant leg. | Peg leg |
| The way he walked, I couldn't help myself. I had to ask if his favorite side of a boat was "starrrrboard." | Peg leg |
| There was something about the way he walked. Something that said, "I'm a few joints short." | Peg leg |
| With that lower-body accessory, I could have sworn she was a pirate, but then I reminded myself not to stereotype. | Peg leg |
| Birds of a feather stick together, so judging by the company he kept I guess this guy had feathers. | Pet raven |
| Did you know he runs around with a bird on a leash? Wonder if the airlines charge extra for that. | Pet raven |
| Did you know she runs around with a bird on a leash? Wonder if the airlines charge extra for that. | Pet raven |
| He asked me if I had any mealworms for his friend. Didn't make any sense until he took the curtain off the cage he was carrying. | Pet raven |
| He had such beady little eyes. I guess it's true that some people start to look like the animals they keep. | Pet raven |
| I couldn't tell who was really calling the shots: him, or that bird riding shotgun on his topcoat. | Pet raven |
| I didn't want to rattle this lady's cage, but I was pretty sure the bird she was carrying in it was dead. | Pet raven |
| I don't want to crow, but I know the distinction between her companion and a crow. | Pet raven |
| I told him we have a strict "no animals" policy, so he tied his bird up outside. | Pet raven |
| I wanted to show him some footage I'd taken of the center of the planet, but he said, "No thanks, I have a corvid right here." Get it? | Pet raven |
| If you find her, hand her this bill for all the cleanup I had to do on my statuary, will you? She needs to toilet-train that bird. | Pet raven |
| If you find him, hand him this bill for all the cleanup I had to do on my statuary, will you? He needs to toilet-train that bird. | Pet raven |
| It looked like he'd stolen something from the Tower of London, though it could have just flown away itself. | Pet raven |
| One look at this guy and I knew he was ravin' mad. Or mad for ravens. What's the expression again? | Pet raven |
| She had such beady little eyes. I guess it's true that some people start to look like the animals they keep. | Pet raven |
| She walked around with one of those smart feathery whatsits -- a blackbird? A crow? No, it was a third name I can't remember. | Pet raven |
| Some-people are raven-haired, right? Well she was raven-shouldered. | Pet raven |
| That guy was for the birds. Seriously, he was a passionate advocate of corvid rights. | Pet raven |
| The lady was impressive. I'd never seen anyone else teach their animal companion to shake claws. | Pet raven |
| To be honest it was hard to hear anything he said, owing to the giant bird on his shoulder. | Pet raven |
| He had white hair. At least I think he did. A lot of it seemed to be crawling around. | Poor hygeine |
| I suggested a breath mint, and when he opened his mouth to respond, I fainted. | Poor hygeine |
| Once you've gone that long without shaving, you may as well just live with the beard gerbils. | Poor hygeine |
| She asked to borrow a nail clipper, but her nails were so gross, I told her she needed a hacksaw. | Poor hygeine |
| She had white hair. At least I think she did. A lot of it seemed to be crawling around. | Poor hygeine |
| There were grass stains all over her knees. And face. And teeth. | Poor hygeine |
| There were grass stains all over his knees. And face. And teeth. | Poor hygeine |
| As soon as she walked in, I saw a cockroach. She apologized, saying they usually stay in her socks. | Poor hygiene |
| Based on the smell, I could have sworn he had 6 or 7 armpits. | Poor hygiene |
| He asked if there was a good place to eat nearby. I suggested whatever was stuck to his shirt. | Poor hygiene |
| He had a cool green decal on his chest. On closer inspection, it was mold. | Poor hygiene |
| He left hours ago, but his cheese odor felt like hanging out. | Poor hygiene |
| I asked him the last time he'd had a shower. He said he hosted his sister's wedding shower 6 months ago. | Poor hygiene |
| I couldn't tell if he was wearing a sweater or if his body hair just had food-crust polka dots. | Poor hygiene |
| I'd say she never combed her hair, but there was a comb in it that looked like it had been stuck there since 1997. | Poor hygiene |
| My memory's a little muddy when it comes to his face, perhaps because it was covered in mud. | Poor hygiene |
| She asked if there was a good place to eat nearby. I suggested whatever was stuck to her shirt. | Poor hygiene |
| There was something stuck in his teeth. I think it was a whole roast chicken. | Poor hygiene |
| There were grass stains all over her knees. And face. And teeth. | Poor hygiene |
| There were some holes in her corduroys. Unless those were her legs, and the holes were dried half-and-half. | Poor hygiene |
| This guy may be hard to take down. He was clearly impervious to toothbrushes. | Poor hygiene |
| Wherever she was going, she needed to wear layers. At least to cover up the neck filth. | Poor hygiene |
| At first I thought she was flying the Chinese flag over her head, but then I looked closer and it was just her hair. | Red hair |
| Based on her hair I'd guess she had a fiery personality, so please don't tell her we talked. | Red hair |
| Do you happen to have any freshly boiled lobster? I've been craving some ever since I saw her hair. Guess I should see someone about that. | Red hair |
| Got a riddle for you: what's black and white and red all over and actually now that I think about it, just red and not at all black and white? Her hair. | Red hair |
| He had the hair of Erik Thorvaldsson. In color, that is. He didn't have his actual hair. | Red hair |
| He had these great-looking, vivid burgundy locks. Pretty good-looking burgundy keys, too. Turns out that's what he'd used to break into my place. | Red hair |
| He should have been embarrassed by his hair. Which, come to think of it, was the color of embarrassment. | Red hair |
| His hair reminded me of cherries, or strawberries, or something-else-that-color-berries. There should really be more kinds of berries. | Red hair |
| His hair was fire-engine... hm, I can't remember the color of a fire engine. But it was definitely that color. Green? | Red hair |
| I remember her hair being purple, but that might have been during my brief experiment with blue-tinted sunglasses. | Red hair |
| I wonder if he gets his hair cut by a professional, or if he just hires Moses to part it. | Red hair |
| If her hair had a last name like "Buttons" or "Skelton," it could make it as a 1940s comedian. | Red hair |
| I'll tell you this much: if I ran a fire station it'd be in her best interest to avoid it, because I'd probably keep trying to douse her hair. | Red hair |
| Look, I'll just solve this case for you right now. He had red hair. That should narrow it down to about one percent of humanity. | Red hair |
| Look, I'll just solve this case for you right now. She had red hair. That should narrow it down to about one percent of humanity. | Red hair |
| Picture a single drop of human blood - that was the color of his hair. Now that we've got that out of the way, will you subscribe to my poetry journal? | Red hair |
| Roses are red / violets are blue / his hair was like one of those things / see if you can guess which. | Red hair |
| She had the flaming head of someone who'd just set their hair on fire. But don't be fooled by my vivid description: it was just regular hair. | Red Hair |
| She had the hair of Erik Thorvaldsson. In color, that is. She didn't have his actual hair. | Red hair |
| She should have been embarrassed by her hair. Which, come to think of it, was the color of embarrassment. | Red hair |
| You're in luck, I clipped a lock of his hair. Here it is, the color of polished garnet. Now can you take off your hat for a second? | Red hair |
| He almost hit me with his wheels and I was like, "Dude! Control your bajaj!" | Rickshaw |
| He called his ride a "phat phati." I can't imagine that's good for its body image. | Rickshaw |
| He drove something that was half-car, half-bike, and 100% blocking me in. What a jerk. | Rickshaw |
| He drove up in a really small vehicle. Couldn't have fit more than three people, maybe four, depending on if he wanted to charge fares. | Rickshaw |
| He was weaving in-and-out of traffic in that little motorized vehicle of his. Probably causes as much road-rage as theft-rage. | Rickshaw |
| Her vehicle was smaller than a car, but needed more gas than a bike. Based on what people around me said, I think it's called a "watch where you're going!" | Rickshaw |
| I called her ride a motorized bicycle and she looked at me like I was some kind of small-frame engine-powered transport racist. | Rickshaw |
| I couldn't believe it! He was driving next year's flagship Bajaj! I'd get one myself, but I don't need the ego massaj. | Rickshaw |
| I remember thinking, "Tut-tut. That's no way to park a tuk-tuk." | Rickshaw |
| I remember thinking, "where'd this girl learn to drive, the streets of Bangalore?" But I must have said it out loud, because she answered, "yes." | Rickshaw |
| I'd describe her car as one wheel in front, two wheels in back, three priceless works of art in the trunk. | Rickshaw |
| If you've ever wondered what cabs look like before they grow up, ask your suspect. He drove a baby taxi. | Rickshaw |
| I've always wondered what would happen if you combined a regular car and a Vespa, and now that I've seen his vehicle I can finally get a real hobby. | Rickshaw |
| She had the most adorable means of transport. I wonder if she tuk-tuks it in at night. | Rickshaw |
| The girl was a thief! Seriously, I took a ride across town in her mototaxi and the meter ended up at half my year's salary. | Rickshaw |
| The thing he drove was like a golf cart, kind of, but somehow came across more glitzy. I know, I was surprised too. | Rickshaw |
| With that three-wheeled buggy-thing he was driving, I could have sworn he was an eco-nut. Turned out it ran on gas, and belched it. | Rickshaw |
| With that three-wheeled buggy-thing she was driving, I could have sworn she was an eco-nut. Turned out it ran on gas, and belched it. | Rickshaw |
| You know those two-wheeled carts people used to pull through the streets of old Japan? She had one of those, only pulled by an engine. Another job lost to the machines. | Rickshaw |
| He asked if I needed any "stale fish." Before I could say no, he'd jumped off that table and done a twisty heel-side grab with his back hand. Then he just rolled out of here. | Skateboard |
| He asked if I wanted to grind, and I told him no thank you, this was a historical landmark and the handrails were not his plaything. | Skateboard |
| He asked where the closest half-pipe was, and then he half-jogged, half-rolled there. | Skateboard |
| He had probably the only vehicle that's ever been capable of being kicked up into your hands. Oh, except for the kick-a-copter. | Skateboard |
| He kept asking if I wanted to see his toeslide, and I kept declining because it sounded like a medical thing. | Skateboard |
| He skidded to a stop and then kicked his ride up into his hands. It was probably the coolest thing I've ever seen, though for reference, I mostly garden. | Skateboard |
| His foot-driven mode of transport seemed a bit archaic. Though I suppose it was more advanced than just feet. | Skateboard |
| If you want to pick this gal out in a crowd, look for a helmet and elbow-pads. Then on her forearms, look for road-rash. | Skateboard |
| If you want to pick this guy out in a crowd, look for a helmet and elbow-pads. Then on his forearms, look for road-rash. | Skateboard |
| I'll tell you this much: he couldn't have driven up and down the side of a swimming pool like that in a car. | Skateboard |
| I'll tell you this much: she couldn't have driven up and down the side of a swimming pool like that in a car. | Skateboard |
| It was like a surfboard with wheels, I tell you! But smaller and kind of curved up at the ends! Is there a word for that? There'd better not be, because I'm coining "slopy surfcar." | Skateboard |
| Ollie! Kickflip! Reverse Ollie! He didn't know any of those tricks, he mostly just rolled. | Skateboard |
| She asked if I needed any "stale fish." Before I could say no, she'd jumped off that table and done a twisty heel-side grab with her back hand. Then she just rolled out of here. | Skateboard |
| She asked where the closest half-pipe was, and then she half-jogged, half-rolled there. | Skateboard |
| She did a 180 the moment she crossed the threshold. But that wasn't nearly as impressive as the 720. | Skateboard |
| She had some pretty incredible lip tricks. Oh, I just realized how that must have sounded. | Skateboard |
| She rolled in here and asked if I had any griptape. Which of course meant I had to ask her for a dictionary. | Skateboard |
| Surf's up for your suspect! Only it's an ocean of concrete. | Skateboard |
| The way she glided around on that thing, it was like no staircase and/or railing was gonna stop her. | Skateboard |
| You should've seen the art she had on her deck. Seriously, it explicitly laid out her escape plan. | Skateboard |
| Your perp rolled with a pretty rough scene. So rough it was made of asphalt. | Skateboard |
| He looked like he could squeeze through an air duct, but at his weight, the air may have blown him away. | Slim |
| A stiff breeze could've blown her away. Though I guess a breeze could blow me away too, if it were stiff enough. | Slim body type |
| Ever heard of a pot belly? This gal had a pan belly. | Slim body type |
| First thing I noticed was that she's built like a reed. I play the clarinet, you see. That's why I noticed. | Slim body type |
| He had a lean and hungry look. Emphasis on hungry. He could definitely stand to gain a few pounds. | Slim body type |
| His build reminded me of that famous poker player, Amarillo. | Slim body type |
| I bet he's a pretty skilled crook. The way he's built, he probably has no trouble squeezing into tight places. | Slim body type |
| I commented on his narrow waist, and he narrowed his eyes at me as well. | Slim body type |
| I would say that she takes up a lot less space inside a hula hoop than most people | Slim body type |
| If her alibis are as thin as she is, you'll catch her soon. | Slim body type |
| I'll give you the straight skinny: she was exactly that. | Slim body type |
| She asked me for a toothpick, but I'd say she was already built like one. | Slim body type |
| She had a lean and hungry look. Emphasis on hungry. She could definitely stand to gain a few pounds. | Slim body type |
| She looked like she'd been on a strict diet for her entire life. | Slim body type |
| She might be hard to find. That woman could successfully hide behind a lamppost. | Slim body type |
| She really could have used some more meat on her bones. She just seemed so frail. | Slim body type |
| She was a waif with a body like a wafer that would waffle with the slightest waft of wind. Try saying that five times fast. | Slim body type |
| The woman was built like a pencil. You think she was packing lead? | Slim body type |
| Dusky. Dusty. Ashen. Her eyes were an average of those three things. | Smoky eyes |
| Goodness! Call the fire department! Those were my exact words upon seeing her eyes. | Smoky eyes |
| He had eyes that could set you on fire. No wait that's not right. He had eyes that looked like they'd been set on fire. | Smoky eyes |
| He had eyes the color of every actor and actress who ever acted in a black-and-white movie. | Smoky eyes |
| Her eyes had the leaden tone of, well, lead. My apologies if you were expecting a more creative memory. | Smoky eyes |
| Her eyes reminded me of London fog. Though she didn't like it when I turned on my portable fog light. | Smoky eyes |
| Her eyes were cinereous. Or were they cinereal? Wait, I think they might have been cineroid. Why do I even bother learning big words? | Smoky eyes |
| Her eyes were so striking that I tried to write a poem about them, but all I could think of that rhymed with their color was "Okey dokey." | Smoky eyes |
| Her eyes would've set my smoke detector off if I'd had it with me, which of course I didn't. | Smoky eyes |
| His eyes looked like someone had failed to prevent a forest fire. | Smoky eyes |
| His eyes were so striking that I tried to write a poem about them, but all I could think of that rhymed with their color was "Okey dokey." | Smoky eyes |
| I had to look away from his eyes so that mine wouldn't die from inhalation of his. | Smoky eyes |
| I would describe her eyes as "slate," but only after consulting a thesaurus. | Smoky eyes |
| I would describe his eyes as "slate," but only after consulting a thesaurus. | Smoky eyes |
| If eyes were hair, his would be distinguished. | Smoky eyes |
| If his eyes had musical talent, they'd be lead singer of the Miracles. | Smoky eyes |
| I'll never forget her eyes, because I never forget anything that desaturated. | Smoky eyes |
| She had eyes that could set you on fire. No wait that's not right. She had eyes that looked like they'd been set on fire. | Smoky eyes |
| She had the most unforgettable pair of grey eyes. Sorry, second-most unforgettable pair of grey eyes. | Smoky eyes |
| Through the grey mists of her eyes, I thought I could glimpse the future. Then she asked me not to stare so closely into her retina. | Smoky eyes |
| When I saw him, there wasn't a cloud in the sky. They'd all migrated to his eyes. | Smoky eyes |
| All she could talk about was valve gears. All I could talk about was how she needed a new hobby. | Steam robotics |
| Did you know there's something called a steam donkey? He told me he built one to carry a satchel of steam-coffee. | Steam robotics |
| Did you know there's something called a steam donkey? She told me she built one to carry a satchel of steam-coffee. | Steam robotics |
| Do you have any idea what the Carnot cycle is? Because that was how she explained the flow of money from my cash register to her giant burlap sack. | Steam robotics |
| He didn't leave any fingerprints, but his boiler-powered contraption left plenty of claw-prints. Guess it's time to invest in some claw-gone spray. | Steam robotics |
| He had devised the most ingenious metalwork contrivance, powered by naught but a scalding froth! It nearly caused me to ingest my own monocle. | Steam robotics |
| He had grandiose plans to build a perfect replica of the Automatic Man. I hope he succeeds, so he can meet something with more personality than him. | Steam robotics |
| He kept bragging that he knew every stage of a four-stroke engine. I'd guess he also knew every stage of romantic rejection. | Steam robotics |
| He seemed hurt when I didn't want to see his schematics for a miniaturized Watts engine. | Steam Robotics |
| He showed me schematics for the most ingenious engine-cylinder mechanism. Then he showed me another set of schematics, detailing how he stole the first set. | Steam robotics |
| He was convinced that copper gears result in better overall engine torque, but that just isn't my experience for anything other than entry-level automaton construction. Some people are just amateurs. | Steam robotics |
| He was nursing a burn on his forearm, and said that he'd gotten it from a boiler. But he did also say the boiler had apologized. | Steam robotics |
| He waxed poetic on the virtues of the fireless locomotive. I waxed the hood of my regular car and told him to go away. | Steam robotics |
| I can't say he had the most accessible hobby, given how excited he was to build a coal-fired autonomous hobby accessor lift. | Steam robotics |
| I had a four-hour debate with the guy on the merits of cross compounds vs. tandem compounds vs. angle compounds. Maybe that's why my headache is still compounding. | Steam robotics |
| It was hard to hear what he was saying, what with his giant bag of copper pipes and steel gearshafts all clankin' around. | Steam robotics |
| Oh yeah, this guy. We had such an awkward conversation, but he got along really well with my hydraulic toaster. | Steam robotics |
| She had devised the most ingenious metalwork contrivance, powered by naught but a scalding froth! It nearly caused me to ingest my own monocle. | Steam robotics |
| She showed me schematics for the most ingenious engine-cylinder mechanism. Then she showed me another set of schematics, detailing how she stole the first set. | Steam robotics |
| She waxed poetic on the virtues of the fireless locomotive. I waxed the hood of my regular car and told her to go away. | Steam robotics |
| The way he talked about piston-driven machinery, I half expected him to don a giant tophat and aviator goggles, then alight for the skies in his copper-tube airship. | Steam robotics |
| This guy was convinced he could build a machine to play soccer like a human. I told him maybe he should build a machine that cared. | Steam robotics |
| He had a larger-than-life presence, though it was mostly from his width. | Stocky body type |
| He was as stout as an oak. Hey, do you think there could ever be half-tree half-men? Wait, come back! | Stocky body type |
| He was built like a bowling ball. But not one you'd want to bowl with, because his arms and legs would affect the roll. | Stocky body type |
| He was built like a wrecking ball? More like an airplane! | Stocky body type |
| He was like a little teapot, short and stout, but without the aromatic, soothing contents. | Stocky body type |
| He was on the heavy side. You're not going to tell him I said that, are you? I prefer to avoid confrontation | Stocky body type |
| He'd roll down a hill if you pushed him. Not that I'm advocating that: I believe in the criminal justice system. | Stocky body type |
| I don't know what he filled out more fully: the questionnaire I gave him, or his outfit. | Stocky body type |
| If you were fattening her up to eat her, you'd already have succeeded. Er... not that I'm advocating cannibalism. | Stocky body type |
| I'm guessing that she had to buy two seats on the flight she took out of the city. | Stocky body type |
| Judging from her physique, her personal trainer is the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. | Stocky body type |
| Never again will I fail to think of him when I chance to visit a rotunda. | Stocky body type |
| Not too tall, not too thin. I guess I should be more direct and say: she's short and chunky. | Stocky body type |
| Oh I remember your suspect, he really stood out in a crowd. At least, he took up a lot of space in one. | Stocky body type |
| She looked like someone you don't want to go up against in a pie-eating contest. | Stocky body type |
| She'd roll down a hill if you pushed her. Not that I'm advocating that: I believe in the criminal justice system. | Stocky body type |
| The girl was built like a brick house. A very short one with no chimney. | Stocky body type |
| The guy was built like a brick house. A very short one with no chimney. | Stocky body type |
| There's no polite way to say it: she was husky. | Stocky body type |
| You know how birds famously have small bones? Yeah, this girl was the opposite of that. | Stocky body type |
| You've heard of six-pack abs? Well, this woman was packing a keg. | Stocky body type |
| First he skipped words, and then he skipped town. | Stutter |
| He had trouble finishing most words when he talked to me. | Stutter |
| He said he once stole Lionel Logue's notes from his sessions with King George VI, and put them to good use in his own therapy. | Stutter |
| He said his musical idol was Scatman John, because he overcame the same impediment he had. | Stutter |
| He talked a mile a minute, but didn't get many actual words out. | Stutter |
| He told me he suffered from alalia syllabaris, though it took him a while to finish telling me that. | Stutter |
| He was a man of few words. Not by choice, though. | Stutter |
| He was more comfortable singing his questions at me than speaking them. Apparently that's a common way to overcome his impediment. | Stutter |
| I said something about her speech impediment, but she thought of it more as a speech opportunity. | Stutter |
| She couldn't get a sentence out. Eventually we just used sign language. | Stutter |
| She had trouble finishing most words when she talked to me. | Stutter |
| She must have had a thing for consonants, because she kept repeating them. | Stutter |
| She said her musical idol was Scatman John, because he overcame the same impediment she had. | Stutter |
| She said she belonged to the organization founded by Malcolm Fraser and Dr. Charles Van Riper. | Stutter |
| She said she once stole Lionel Logue's notes from his sessions with King George VI, and put them to good use in her own therapy. | Stutter |
| She shared a certain impediment with Marilyn Monroe, James Earl Jones, and Carly Simon. | Stutter |
| She talked a mile a minute, but didn't get many actual words out. | Stutter |
| She told me she suffered from alalia syllabaris, though it took her a while to finish telling me that. | Stutter |
| She was a woman of few words. Not by choice, though. | Stutter |
| She was more comfortable singing her questions at me than speaking them. Apparently that's a common way to overcome her impediment. | Stutter |
| The way he talked reminded me of Moses, though his promised land sounded a lot like a bank vault. | Stutter |
| There was something halting about the way she talked. | Stutter |
| When he spoke, I suggested he get out of crime and start beat-boxing for an a capella group. | Stutter |
| Words to her were like hurdles. She kept tripping over them. | Stutter |
| You could tell he had a lot to say, but he had some trouble saying it. | Stutter |
| A lot of people talk to their dogs. But until this guy I'd never seen anyone ask for stock tips. | Talks to animals |
| A pigeon alighted on his shoulder, then he whistled something and it whistled back and before I knew it they were exchanging phone numbers. | Talks to animals |
| He could have been a mole. He certainly talked like one. | Talks to animals |
| He didn't strike me as a stool pigeon, but I did see him pull up a stool next to a pigeon and chew the fat. | Talks to animals |
| He pointed out a mounted policeman and said the horse was his informant. | Talks to animals |
| He spent the whole time barking into his cell phone. | Talks to animals |
| He told me a bunch of times that cops were pigs. Then he told a bunch of pigs he was running from the cops. | Talks to animals |
| I didn't talk to him, but you might want to interview that goldfish. | Talks to animals |
| I saw her in the park feeding squirrels. But first, she asked them for their order. | Talks to animals |
| I told her she looked happier than a pig in slop. She replied that she'd talked to many a pig that said slop was overrated. | Talks to animals |
| If I didn't know any better, I'd say he and my cat engaged in a substantive debate about the tax code. | Talks to animals |
| It was almost like she knew what that stray cat was thinking when it said, and I quote, "hiss." | Talks to animals |
| She clearly had a monkey on her back. It was easier to hear it whisper that way. | Talks to animals |
| She could have been a mole.She certainly talked like one. | Talks to animals |
| She spent the whole time barking into her cell phone. | Talks to animals |
| She told me a bunch of times that cops were pigs. Then she told a bunch of pigs she was running from the cops. | Talks to animals |
| She was a real Dr. Doolittle. | Talks to animals |
| When I asked where he got his info, he said, "a little bird told me." Strange thing is, he seemed serious. | Talks to animals |
| You know how there are horse whisperers? She was an everything whisperer. | Talks to animals |
| He asked if there was a doctor around who treated sport-related joint injuries. And it wasn't Squash Knee. | Tennis |
| He asked where he could buy tennis balls, so I pointed him to the sports boutique down the street. | Tennis |
| He complained about the service around here, then said more people should be using topspin. | Tennis |
| He gave me a backhanded compliment, which was nice - I've been working on my backhand. | Tennis |
| He grunted every time he swung his arms. | Tennis |
| He had a can of fuzzy green balls that he opened with a "pssh" sound. | Tennis |
| He said he didn't respect any judge's authority, unless they were sitting in a high sideline chair. | Tennis |
| He was a real Open guy. Told me all about the US, Australia, France, and England. | Tennis |
| I remember that we started talking at the same time, she said "let!", and then we started over. | Tennis |
| She asked if there was a doctor around who treated sport-related joint injuries. And it wasn't Squash Knee. | Tennis |
| She asked where she could buy tennis balls, so I pointed her to the sports boutique down the street. | Tennis |
| She complained about the service around here, then said more people should be using topspin. | Tennis |
| She said she didn't respect any judge's authority, unless they were sitting in a high sideline chair. | Tennis |
| She said she was working on her drop shot. But she said it in a shifty way. | Tennis |
| She tracked a bunch of clay in here. Where'd she get that? | Tennis |
| She wanted me to meet her in an alley. But I had to bring a partner, or it'd be out of bounds. | Tennis |
| She was carrying a tennis racket. If it were me I'd have left that at the hotel. | Tennis |
| She was less worried about your dragnet than the court's net. | Tennis |
| She was making a racket. It was ambitious - I'd only ever seen someone restring one. | Tennis |
| She was the only person I've ever met who claimed her bracelet was athletic gear. | Tennis |
| When I asked for her name she said, "Bjorn Borg. Just kidding, but he is my hero." | Tennis |
| When I asked for his name he said, "Bjorn Borg. Just kidding, but he is my hero." | Tennis |
| When I said she was over the line, she yelled, "YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS! YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!" for ten minutes. | Tennis |
| When she showed up, she had to duck to get through the door. | Towering |
| You want my opinion, he was tall enough to warrant a second pair of pants. | Towering |
| Birds kept confusing her for a telephone pole. Can't imagine her dry-cleaning bill. | Towering body type |
| Ever seen one of those clowns on stilts? He was like that, only without stilts, and not quite as terrifying. | Towering body type |
| He was a skyscraper of a man. I wonder how the view was from the top. | Towering body type |

| He was the kind of guy who has to pay attention to clearance signs written for vehicles. | Towering body type |

| If I were her, I'd really install a blinking red light on my forehead. After all, helicopters are everywhere. | Towering body type |

| She was tall, and I mean tall. I don't think I could make myself more clear. | Towering body type |

| She was very specific: no eggs, no milk, no cheese, no meat. That was when I decided: no friendship. | Vegan food |

| I'll say this much: if his eyes were prose, they'd be overdone. | Violet eyes |

| It's funny that you're "pursuing" him, given that his eyes are perse. | Violet eyes |
