I can't count the number of times I've squeezed myself into a robe and had to duckwalk to a treatment room because I was trying to keep the gaps in the robe closed with my hands, so I don't flash my lady bits to the world.

O goddess of attitudes, yes, ma'am, Madame of the owl tiara, bird woman enthroned, big cog of the cosmos, born from the noggin of Zeus, hear my prayer, because I'm adrift in a sea of words, my boat is cardboard pinned together with newspaper headlines of the latest war, springing leaks that generals plug with their double-talk, duckwalk to the edge of the cliff, and we're holding the bill, still due after ten thousand years, while women wail in shanty shacks, stack cordwood for the winter, open cans of baked beans, bust the seams of polyester pants made by the Chinese.

With fewer spectators, nearly everyone comes to compete; some trophies are tall, and a grand-prize winner can earn $1,000 or more. Although some competitive walks involve crossdressing, in other cases the goal is to accentuate a male participant's masculinity or a female participant's femininity as a parody of heterosexuality. Voguing consists of five elements: duckwalk, catwalk, hands, floorwork, and spins and dips.

Physical examination of the knee begins by observing the person's gait to assess for any abnormalities seen while walking. Gait assessment can be used to differentiate genuine knee pain or pain which referred from hip, lower back or the foot. A person can be asked to perform a duckwalk. This requires the person to squat and walk in that position.

In order to perform a duckwalk, the person has to be free of ligamentous tear, knee effusions, and meniscal tears. The person can also be asked to stand with both feet stuck together. This position is useful to observe for valgus or varus deformity of the knees which is suggestive of osteoarthritis. The circumference of each thigh can be measured to look for wasting of quadriceps muscles.

The two-story structure, standing on a hill about 87 feet above mean low tide and approximately a half-mile back from the beach, contained two instrument rooms on the ground floor and another instrument room on the second floor, where soldiers used azimuth telescopes to look for enemy shipping on Block Island Sound. The soldiers looked through the fire control station's characteristic mullioned observation slots — long, narrow windows with vertical supports. The ground floor also contained a kitchen, mess hall with an 8-by-4-foot mess table, latrine complete with urinals, duckwalk, and showers and barracks equipped with six double-decker bunk beds and a drinking fountain for the soldiers stationed there. Five space heaters, fed with coal, provided heat, and a 5-kilowatt gasoline generator in the basement supplied electric power.

Mackay played oboe and saxophone in Roxy Music, becoming known for his Chuck Berry-inspired duckwalk during saxophone solos, notably on the raucous track "Editions of You". With his pronounced quiff, Star Trek sideburns and outlandish Motown-inspired stage costumes, Mackay made a vital contribution to the unique Roxy Music "look"—much of which functioned as a retro-futurist throwback to 1950s rock and roll performers.Roxyrama Official Website Andy Mackay Biography His songwriting credits for Roxy Music include the Top Five hits "Love is the Drug" (1975) and "Angel Eyes" (1979), plus "A Song for Europe", "Three and Nine", "Bitter-Sweet", "Sentimental Fool", "While My Heart is Still Beating" and "Tara", together with the early experimental B-sides "The Numberer" and "The Pride and the Pain". He released two instrumental solo albums in the 1970s: In Search of Eddie Riff (1974), an exploration of his musical roots and Resolving Contradictions (1978), based on his impressions of a trip to China.
