Wait. You go with the class rings, but give Jesse grief for the pimp cups?

I do not see them as similar in any way. Sure some men's class rings can get ginormous and tacky, but not all - and they signify completion of a milestone.

If I only had a brain...

and they signify completion of a milestone.

So do pimp cups, surely?

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Hmm. First 'ho? First arrest? First acquittal? I can see that.

Yeah, once you get your last merit badge in Smackin' and Mackin' you graduate to Pimp, and them you get your cup and bling and your velvet hat with a feather.

It's the ginormous and tacky thing, msbelle, but you're right, as social signifiers go, "class" tends to be much more substantial than "pimp." Then again, "pimp" might just be a bit more exclusive.

Damn. I need to do work, but b.org is fun today with the resurgence of showtalk.

In random news, my lunch was a super delicioso burrito from Tlaloc, but I did that thing where a sharp piece of tortilla chip wedges into your gumline. Yowtch.

Prominent class rings seem to be a big thing in Texas, too.

From a million posts back, thanks to Cashmere for filling Cindy in on the Bradley method. Bradley's definitely a nutty guy (for instance, he thinks "uterus" is too technical a term for mothers-to-be, so he says "baby box"), but the idea of preparation, relaxation, avoiding the epidural, and reducing the need for episiotomies is very appealing to us.

You people confused me up there, with sara and hayden and consuela's posts -- I thought Mrs. hayden was going to be giving birth underwater! But nsm, right?

Hey, I thought the same thing when I read it. We are going to have a birthing tub handy at the birthing center, so it's a possibility, just not a foregone conclusion.

Finally, I am pro-pimp cup in theory, but in practice, I prefer the pimp travel mug. Less sloshy.

pfft. they signify nothing. and while I suppose anyone can buy some class rings, I do know if schools that require a certain # of hours before they can be purchased. double pfft.
