TwinkCode v1.10alpha
This is *not* the new and approved twink code (at least, not yet, but I'm
hoping). It applies some major changes/additions to v1.00. These changes
will be identified by a new material triangle

TwinkCode v1.10

\\// New material

Some people out here aren't satisfied with BearCode or SmurfCode. It
doesn't speak to us. We're twinks, and damn proud of it. While bears live
for hair and smurfs for humor, a twink lives for style. As such, style
factors are the major way of recognizing a twink. Unlike bears and smurfs,
a twink's style can't be rated by degree--to be a twink, one must have a
good sense of style. The ideal twink knows what he can't wear, and how to
wear what he can. The clothes make the twink.
Clothing is not exclusively the determining factor in a twink, though. The
twink's crowning glory is his hair. Long or short, straight or wavy, it
must be perfect. Hell is a lifetime of bad hair.
The main Twink identifier is a 4 part code comprised of:
T - Type of twink
C - Color of Hair
L - Length of Hair
and whether it's (s)traight, (w)avy, or (c)urly
T - Type of twink
1 - BeachTwink: The beach twink is often a sun-
bleached blonde, well tanned, and well defined.
Sub-genres of beach twink are the VBall Twink and
SurferTwink.
2 - NuevoWest Twink: The old west was never quite
like this. Colorful, sharp, and not nearly
weathered enough, if cowboys were fashion slaves,
they'd look like this.
3 - Street Twink: Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch have
nothing on this twink. Urban fashion, be it rap
or grunge, is raised to an art form by this
delicious one.
4 - The All-American Twink: Remember that quarterback
you could never have in high school? This *is*
him. Athletic, active, it's amazing how his hair
stays in place.
5 - EuroTwink: Think of Armani suits. Think of
Italian convertibles. The finest European
designers would love to have him on the runway.
6 - The Twink Next Door: The boy next door never
looked this good (well, mine never did). A
suburban sensibility becomes a showcase for a
gorgeous young guy.
7 - RadicalTwink: This twink marches to the beat of a
different drummer. Possessing a style, while not
necessarily unique, but definitely uncommon, this
twink will go out on a limb to grab your
attention.
8 - GymTwink: The GymTwink may attempt any of the
above styles (and pull them off successfully) but
it's always that drop-dead-gorgeous bod that's
overshadowing everything else. Even in sack cloth
(we're talking *really* radical 7 here) he'd look
incredible. GymTwinks should include what style
they're attempting in their code (i.e. T8(5))

<<<comments: Perhaps 3 should be broken into grunge and rap <<<styles.
They are entirely different looks, after all
<<<end comments
Twinks come in all hair colors, natural and unnatural.
C - Color of Hair
0 - black (raven)
1 - dark brown
2 - brown
3 - light brown
4 - auburn
5 - dark red
6 - bright red
7 - strawberry blonde
8 - Blonde. Most of the hair on his body is blonde.
9 - Totally Blonde. Every strand of hair on his body
(by definition must be natural).
X - Other (purple, blue, etc...)
If hair color is assisted, it should list the original color in parentheses
(i.e. CX(7)).

Hair length is important too. Some of us like long hair, some of us like
short hair, some of us like any hair at all as long as it looks good.
L - Length of Hair
0 - Shaved/bald
1 - verrrrry short, buzzed
2 - short enough for a banker, suitable for business
3 - medium length, barely over collar
4 - shoulder length
5 - part-way down the back
6 - *really* long, like down to his butt
The last modifier is waviness of hair, and is designated by letter.
(s)traight
(w)avy
(c)urly
Therefore, I am (using this code system) a:
T7C2L2s

Having covered the major points of description, it's time to get down to the
sordid details. How sordid? You be the judge
h - the 'hairlessness' factor (opposite of NBCS "f") refers
to body hair.
h++ SMOOTH body - virtually no hair
h+ little hair
h some hair
(none) average body hair
h- above average body hair
h-- veritable furball (almost a bear)
(h) can be further refined to cover specific body areas:
hc - chest
hb - butt
hl - legs
hs - shins (part of leg below knee)
__
\/ changed
These can be used specifically, or to identify an area which
differs from the rest of the body. Therefore, if you're
smooth, except for your legs, you could list h++(hl-). If
your hairlesness is a result of shaving or depilatories, you
should list the original state in parentheses, i.e. h(--)++.

<<<comments: this replaces the 'b' code in 1.00. After all, a
<<<twink can (and usually does) have a brain. The important
<<<thing is ignoring its presence. I saw the comment about
<<<switching the 'a' and 'b' codes to 'airhead' and 'bitch'. It
<<<sounds good, but they aren't quite interchangeable. After all,
<<<attitude is more than just bitchiness. It's also self-
<<<importance and pretentiousness. And, amazing as it may seem,
<<<one can be pretentious without being bitchy.
<<<end comments

f++ very sweet, almost sickly, could be interchanged
with filling of actual Hostess Twinkie (tm)
f+ sweet
f pleasant
(none) unremarkable

f-- grapefruits taste better
<<<comments: Taken as read. Personally, tho, I like grapefruit.
<<<If you'd like to learn to appreciate bitter, try Campari.

t++, t+, and t people should list the style types they're
attracted to, i.e. t++(4,5,6,7)
<<<comments: minor addition per discussion with Matt
<<<end comments

<<<comments: mostly taken as read, added the none
<<<end comments
ADDITIONAL PUNCTUATION
The following aren't graded, they are just flags attached to
the overall classification:
v for variable, said trait is not very rigid, may
change with time or with individual interaction
? for traits where there is no HARD information
available and the value is completely guessed
: for traits which are observed but uncertain,
e.g. a twink who is wearing a lot of clothes, so
you can't be SURE he's an h+, but his forearms
REALLY suggest that he is, hence h+
! for cases where the trait is as close to a
prototype as possible, or an exemplary case of
a specific trait... e.g. the ultimate h++!
() for indicating "cross-overs" or ranges. A twink
who goes from k to k++ depending on the situation
(i.e. mostly "k") could use k(++)
You can make the punctuation as detailed as desired,
although the best ones to read are the ones which are the
most clear and simple to understand.
