"Compactly built"

One of the delights of having a blog is being able to link to whatever snippets of damn fine writing one pleases. Here, as a total non sequitur to the previous discussion, Angelico Nyugen pens the ideal Catholic Match profile in the mind of God:

Please note, to avoid frustration upon first meeting: She has to be okay with the fact that the good Lord exercised a severe (and, to my mind, elegant) economy when He proportioned my frame. What I’m trying to say is that, by turn-of-the-millennium U.S. standards, I’m a tiny, Hobbitty little man. Not that my lack of height bothers me; I’m perfectly happy to be, like Jerusalem, compactly built. But I get the sense that it might be a deal-breaker for some.

The whole comment has been making me laugh for two days.
