That was really cool.

'Course it would've been even cooler if he had been actually carrying the game ball because, technically speaking, I don't believe you can actually score a touchdown if you don't have possession.  You have possession, you have an amazing video of a squirrel scoring a 45 yard touchdown.  But, if he doesn't have possession, you ain't got jack.

If carrying the ball is not a requirement, I can supply voluminous footage of squirrels, foxes, turkey, deer, wild hogs....  all running 100 yards.

I like that word.  Next time the missus asks me how she looks in a new outfit, I'll say, "Stunning and voluminous."

You might want to stick with stunning.

This (just to be safe).
Unless you are talking about lips or hair, voluminous could be mistaken as looking like a porker to some insecure ladies out there (to be real, 90% of women are insecure most days).  Not saying yours may be that way, but that word may not necessarily be the compliment you are intending.

You never know, sometimes a man would like nothing more than a night on the couch.

Better, and more acceptable IMO. 
Voluptuous sounds more appealing than Voluminous for some reason, even though they pretty much mean the same thing. 
BC, in my house there is no reason needed to spend the night on the couch.  It would be preferred most nights for me, since the husband-type in my house tends to snore too loudly for my taste.  Even our sleep number adjustable base doesn't stop his snoring like that damn commercial promised.  :73:

I have no idea what voluptuous means - although the connotation I get is pronounced curves and very desirable.

In terms of voluminous - it means volumes...  it means a lot...  it means more than enough.... and to my wife, it would mean FAT.

So I wouldn't go there.

Erin is right, of course.   Hair or perhaps lips could "have volume" and therefore "voluminous" would be a compliment to many women.  But if you're talking about midsection, thighs, or buttocks, well, it might not go over so well.

My querida esposita arquitecta used to have a colleague who would refer to overweight clients as "men of substance".

My son and I were at a Cardinals game in St Louis in August where there was a rally cat:

Right after his appearance on the field, where the kitten ran all the way to the center field fence before being retrieved, Yadi hit a grand slam on the next pitch that won the game.

Cool, but not as cool as a rally possum.
