Speaking of pimps, did you all know that the song "It's hard out there for a pimp" is nominated for an Oscar??
And they're actually performing it! Well, a tv-edited version of it.
You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Also, did you ever see that float yesterday?
Nope. Never did. I have the suspicion I'm better off for it.

"It's hard out there for a pimp" is way catchy, but when you have a 2 year old in the house you can't be saying stuff like that. (It gets repeated. Usually at full volume in church or something.) So we sing "It's hard out there for a dog, trying to get some money for a bone." Casper can sing it now too.

Mostly lurking...
Anyone here have PMP certification? I'm looking at the forms you have to fill out outside of the test, and I don't wanna anymore. They seem worse than the test itself.
My mom does. I can ask her any questions you might have...or I could just give you her e-mail address. She's found it very useful, and got her current job because of it.
Also, YAY flea! Congratulations. So exciting!

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I am totally calling Scandal! I thought Nutty was giant!
Pah. We have this discussion every six months, when it is re-revealed that ita is the same height as me (or if you believe my sister, taller). Also, I think ita can actually wear most kinds of high heels, which I can't any more.
Jesse is like a yard taller than I am. Nora is taller than I am.
You don't have to be tall to defeat a cheetah!!

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.
I think I meant "strut" instead of "stroll". However, "strut" sounds too fast for what I'm thinking.
"Walk" however, is WAY to prosaic.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Right now I just have a big whine. I'm okay with studying for tests. But having to account for 4500 hours of project management over my career? Jayzus. They ask for an assload of detail.
Oh! I thought of a question--is she a member of PMI? If so (or not) why?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
You know we're never going to believe you heightwise again, and that Hec's checking off "height issues" in your file right now.
Nutty looks to be about 5'7" to me. I think the problem here is that flea was a jealous child, and wanted to ensure that she always had the upper hand over her wee sister. I wouldn't be surprised if she was slipping Nutty coffee as a baby, deliberately trying to stunt her growth.

Uh, I'm 5'8. Taller than you either way. And wearing 3" heels today. I'm flea-sized! Which looks way weird in print.
"Walk" however, is WAY to prosaic.
Hey, I call it a pimp walk because it's called a pimp walk.
I wouldn't be surprised if she was slipping Nutty coffee as a baby, deliberately trying to stunt her growth.
And swinging her leg over the bairn's head, I'm sure.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Oh no oh no. I am calling my bookie. Put twenty on cheetah!
