I'd like to thank and curse whoever it was here a few months back who introduced me to Fay Cullen's jewelry website. I want all of these rings!
And I'll take these earrings, as well please.
Now, this would be the perfect time for a swear word.

I know a man my age whose father is 5'4" and mother is 4'10". The son ended up 5'2". Which, for a man, is teeeny. Especially next to me.
Also, Nutty is only 5'6". She's cheating up as a result of her height-related insecurity.

Pimps don't walk, they stroll.

Or she's adding in her cheetah stomping boots.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Also, I stll think the LED belt buckle is the key to pimping. [link]

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
My grandmother was 4'10" and my grandfather was 5'2". My dad ended up 5'6" and his brothers were a staggering (for my family) 5'10". Don't know how that happened.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Pimps don't walk, they stroll.
Nonono. I may not be certified yet, but I lived in Detroit for years. Pimps walk. It's a punctuated, syncopated rocking bounce. Stroll is way too even and unsnazzy to describe a pimp in motion.

ChiKat, were your grandparents likely to have been malnourished (or even just underfed) as children? I know in Greece all the old ladies are 5 feet tall, and all the grandsons are 5'10". Because when the old ladies were young, everyone was really poor and hungry a lot. So maybe your grandparents had tallish genes that never got a chance.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I am totally not cheating up! I used to claim I was 5'6", and then in college I was measured again and was 5'7". (I was measured against a wall, and also against my suitemate, who is exactly the same height as me.)
I understand that giraffes are tall, but more than that to me they're ungainly and have really long necks.
It's the ungainly tallness, rather than the neck thing, that I was getting at. I'm really not used to being the tallest person in the room, so when I was, I felt like I'd been sucked through a black hole and was some incredible noodly elongated person.
Speaking of pimps, did you all know that the song "It's hard out there for a pimp" is nominated for an Oscar?? (From Hustle and Flow. ) I only know this song because flea and mr. flea earworm each other with it, with slightly euphemistic lyrics. (Think dogs and bones, not pimps and, um, I don't know any of the real lyrics except the title.)
