How come people in movies and TV shows always hail cabs by putting up their hand and shouting, "Taxi!" Does the shouting actually do anything? I can't imagine that the cab driver could hear someone shouting over all the other street noises. And I don't think I've ever heard anyone shout "Taxi!" like that in real life.
I think it's a Bill Bryson book, or maybe David Sedaris, that has a HILARIOUS rant about taxis in TV and movies. Specifically, how fictional people (Mel Gibson is the example they use) always manage to reach into their wallets and pull out the exact fare without looking at the cash, and how in real life Mel would be chased down the street with the taxi driver yelling "This is a $1 bill you Australian asshole!"
Anyone else know what I'm talking about??
Real pushups or the girly knee kind?
I stopped at 20. It started getting harder around 15.
The person who has my name and doesn't seem to know her own email address has apparently moved from Boston to NY. She recently ordered $1300 worth in shoes. I got the confirmation from Zappos.
It's nickname is The Queen City.
That is not a very tough nickname.
I don't know how many pushups I could do, if any.
How many pushups can you do?
Not even with a gun to my head.
The girly knee kind for woman, according the NYT pushup calculator are fine. But you still need the good form of lowering one's body is an entire plank.
Go aurelia!
I can do more than 20 of the tricep pushups - where your hands are closer together. The traditional pushups put too much strain on my injured shoulder.
It's nickname is The Queen City.
That is not a very tough nickname.
That's how we sucker you in, and then....POW! Right in the kisser!
I think the question is *why* I would want to do pushups.
