What other kind of kicks are there?
I get my kicks above the waistline Sunshine.
Take me, sir. Take me hard.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
but not at night and not a Friday night.
Oh yeah, that's a really good point.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I had to look up the exact quote because of an LJ entry, and now "As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly" (from WKRP's Thanksgiving fiasco episode) keeps going through my head.
I hope no one comes in my office as I am giggling to myself.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Yeah, I don't know why but "walking leg kicks" conjures the image to my mind, but it's still not accurate. You're walking and with each step you kick your extended leg as high as you can until it touches your outstretched hand. Regular old kicks just makes me think of side-kicks, or soccer kicking.
Anyway, the effect is like a cross between aerobic Frankenstein and John Cleese. In fact, I called our pre-practice workouts "The Ministry of Silly Walks" and the players duck walked from home to first, then did a side-step crossover to second, then a side ways jumping jack to go from second to third, and the high kicking walk from third to home.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That's fantastic.

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

Walking kicks doesn't conjure it for you?
New Guy's meeting was to start at 10. He's still at his desk. The other attendees are at their desks too. He has us well trained. I'm not moving before he does. There's no point. I have other stuff to do.
Including this.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
ita, you need to shoot New Guy with a GPS tracker thingie, and then develop a web-based application so we can all track his movements through our computers.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
but not at night and not a Friday night.
This is a big movie going weekend, too.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I guess walking kicks could mean you do a side-kick with every step.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
If it's a small enough meeting I say mention to the other folks to get there on time and start without him. That or envoke the 10/15 min rule and if he is later than that cancel the meeting. It astounds me that no one above him has called him on his unprofessionalism.
