Pimp Walk

Because of my injured foot I have developed what some of the people I work with are calling a "Pimp Walk." I have a limp and it is kind of what you see people taking on as an affectation to look cool. Let me tell you, I do it because I am in pain and it hurts to walk normally. I can't imagine doing it on purpose if I had two healthy legs. It would be a lot of work. Do people with a pimp walk walk normally at home? Is it just for the outside world to see and think they look badass? When I have seen it, I think they look stupid. Kind of like having your pants hanging down around your mid-thigh. They don't walk normally, constantly have to hold their pants up. Whenever I see that "style" I want to pants them and run. They wouldn't be able to catch me. Silly Penguins.

A magician friend told me of this 1890's magician. I don't remember the name, but he was a white guy from America pretending to be Chinese. He had a trick where he made a fish bowl appear out of nowhere. The fishbowl was held between his knees, so he had to walk with a small stepped shuffle so the fish bowl didn't fall. But because this was his signature trick, the magician had to ALWAYS wallk with that small stepped shuffle. If he ever walked witha normal stride, people would figure out how the trick was done. The sacrifices this guy made were amazing. That was his pimp walk.
