You wear shoes to the beach? odd...

Right now, not wearing any shoes, normally sport a pair of Reef flip-flops, but if things go well this Friday then I will be getting a brand new pair of Rainbows from a friend. Also have a pair of Vans (actual shoes) lurking around somewhere that I wear for shoe-type occasions, like shows and stuff.

Note his location... NY

He wisely chooses to not step on any used hypodermics that have washed ashore from the latest garbage barge. Smart man.

unless it's freezing cold, you'll find me wearing a pair of Teva sandals.

and I'm only a size 10, but you know what they say... it's not how big they are, but how you use them...

Hmmm...
I wear 15.5 American men's sneakers. Ugly ones too. I don't have a camera, so I can't postem.



hmm.... big extremities does not translate to other.... extremities. At least not in the same proportions.
Like, for instance, I believe the average adult male shoe size is just shy of 10. 9.8 or so. Or it was a few months ago hwen I read about it in a link from fark.
But another tidbit is that the average size of a man's third leg when sprinting is a little less than 6 inches.
One might expect an even increase in sizes for all parts involved iin a 6'4" person like myself, but iit is not so. I mean 10:6 is not 15.5:7.5 right? Lessee... 1.67 vs 2.07.

Perhaps this numerical humbuggery is baseless. What does a shoe size of 1 or two signify? Is it in inches, as my father once told me? Size twelve shoe = footlong foot? Makes sense I suppose.

Then again, certain male actors in certain entertaining movies are nnot usually exceptionally tall. Many are muscular and all have lengthy urethras, but what about their feet?
Actual conversation between UCLA and Stanford during a login on early Internet - U: I'm going to type an L! Did you get an L? S: I got one-one-four. L! U:Did you get the O? S: One-one-seven. U: <types G> S: The computer just crashed.

Just an old pair of reebocks. Size 14. Tough to get shoes in my size, so I pretty-much have to take what I can get.

The 80s wasn't that bad. It's the 70s you want to stay away from. The 90s were pretty cool.

Some of the best shoes. I bought my first pair back in 90/91 before they was cool to wear.

I got a new pair not too long ago, still love them, along with my uncool Reeboks.

Oh, thank you very much, Zimphire. Now I am going to have Alexei Sayle's song on my brain for the rest of the day:

Dr. Martens, Dr. Marten's, Dr. Marten's boots! (Hic!)
Dr. Martens, Dr. Marten's, Dr. Marten's boots! (Hic!)

indeed.

BTW Ca$h when you posted that, did you realize how hypocritical your statement was?

Of course you didn't.
