Or I guess put another way: not having to balance on a narow point vs not being able to bend your foot in the middle. :)

Yes, they are from Boden. My mother got their catalog and gave it to me and now I'm smitten with about 3/4 of everything they sell.
Oh bummer about trivia night... I might have come out for it since Jeff is playing tennis after work and won't be home until way late.
― Jenny, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 17:30 (eighteen years ago)
I am also fond of these:

Hi everybody! Today is Shana's birthday! We are going to be at Small Bar on Division from 8:30 onwards, but not too late, since it's a Tuesday. Come celebrate if you'd like!

Amanda, I just cited a post on the Language Log for an article I'm fact-checking.
― jaymc, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 17:37 (eighteen years ago)
yeah, i really can't do heels as i have wussy feet and they make me cry.i'm also kind of obsessed with the boden catalog, which is weird because i never saw it when i was in london but it arrived here and i want almost everything in it!

Finally, we have a home! We booked two 3 bedroom condos w/spa (see following web site) http://www.davidhollands.com/summer/properties/townpointe.html which is 100 yds from the town lift and 1 block from Main Street. These units are much nicer then the ones that I sent yesterday and of course we will only have 5 of us in each unit. This will be much more comfortable for us. The dates are January 29th to February 3rd. I've been assured that we will all have our own beds and not pull-out couches. Total cost for both units come out to 8,092.80 which is a AAA rate. I need everyone to send ASAP $809.28 to me since I need to pay for this now. Please forward your checks to: Fr3d S4doff 1535 Northpark Drive, Ste 101 Weston, FL 33326 STEVE, PLEASE CONTACT STEVE MILLER AND HAVE HIM SEND HIS CHECK Does anyone belong to AAA, let me know? (This saved us $800.00) I will be booking our flights later today and will send our flight information to you . Let me know if you have any questions. Fr3d R. S4doff, C.P.A.

Dude, if Steve Miller is in then I am totally going.
So are they just totally ignoring you?

Yup. Assuming that this isn't some sort of convoluted scam, I've gathered that these are all accountants of some sort who went to school together and now go on ski/coke vacations together.

I haven't read closely. Was coke actually mentioned?
― Jesse, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 18:04 (eighteen years ago)
No, I just assume.
― Jordan, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 18:07 (eighteen years ago)
yeah, going to aspen for skiing could be anybody, but specifically mentioning "pussy" narrows the personality type somewhat.

Found a photo of Fred S and his wife Randi (at right of photo), on the website for the Rotary Club he belongs to:

They live a half hour away from each other in Florida. Howard gave $4,600 to Hillary this year.
― jaymc, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 18:21 (eighteen years ago)
I think you should email the wife to let her know about the cocaine and hookers that these guys are planning on procuring for their ski trip.
― Jenny, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 18:26 (eighteen years ago)
Those peacock shoes look gorgeous and uncomfortable.
― KitCat, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 18:28 (eighteen years ago)
Eventually we'll be able to exaggerate this to the point that they are the leaders of multi-national drug cartel that dabbles in sex trafficking and launders their money through their debt consolidation fronts. All because one of their number is a douchbag who counts "pussy" as one of the pros of a Colorado ski resort.
― Jenny, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 18:28 (eighteen years ago)
That's it, I'm calling the DEA.
― Laurel, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 18:31 (eighteen years ago)
Those blue shoes are a beautiful color, btw. I'm afraid of suede pretty much across the board, but that depth of color is tempting....
― Laurel, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 18:32 (eighteen years ago)
Fred looks like our IT guy.
― n/a, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 18:33 (eighteen years ago)
Colette, I can't wear heels either, for the same reasons. My mother actually gave me grief on my last visit home for spending my formative foot-growth years wearing "those awful Birkenstocks" and never getting properly acclimated to uncomfortable shoes.
― Jenny, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 18:34 (eighteen years ago)
Go for it.
― jaymc, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 18:35 (eighteen years ago)
I have a lot of wheelin' and dealin' going on these days:
* just posted for-sale ad for my guitar on craigslist, so I can: * buy the guitar I want from Chi. Music Exchange * also might go see a guy about some drum mics tomorrow * need to find someone who is willing to fix up my 8-track recorder

(Although that's Howard's, not Fred's wife.)
― jaymc, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 18:36 (eighteen years ago)
NOTE: I DO NOT REALLY THINK ANYBODY SHOULD EMAIL ANYBODY'S WIFE. NOR DO I THINK THESE GUYS ARE CRIMINALS. I THINK THEY ARE JUST DING DONGS.
― Jenny, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 18:38 (eighteen years ago)
BEING A DING DONG IS NOT A CRIME.
I SHOULD KNOW BECAUSE I AM ALMOST A LAWYER.

I would LOVE to go on a skiing trip with some non-ding-dongs. Let's do it.
― kenan, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 18:41 (eighteen years ago)
Your internet sleuthing skillz are impressive, I have to admit.
xp
― Jenny, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 18:41 (eighteen years ago)
xp Without so much coke or pussy, obv. But skiing, hot tubbing, sitting in front of a fire... these are all things devoutly to be wish'd.
― kenan, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 18:42 (eighteen years ago)
I am into all those things, minus actual skiing (confession: have never tried it).
― KitCat, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 18:44 (eighteen years ago)
it's totally fun and incredibly exhausting.
― kenan, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 18:45 (eighteen years ago)
I hate skiing/snowboarding with a somewhat alarming intensity, but I would gladly get shit hammered in the lodge while the rest of youse try your damnedest to break your necks sliding down the side of a mountain.
xp - Sarah, just get shit hammered with me. Forget those jerks.
― Jenny, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 18:45 (eighteen years ago)
Wow, John!
Fred looks Jewish. I searched my gmail and discovered that he has e-mailed me by mistake once in the past, to send a Rosh Hashanah-related youtube video.
― Jordan, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 18:47 (eighteen years ago)
Btw, Howard is the pussy douchebottle.
I will not e-mail anyone's wife but it is weird to think that I could.
― Jordan, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 18:48 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah, I think I'm in the kind of physical condition that I would go out for an hour and then be all like, "I need a shower and a sweater and a drink with amaretto in it."
― kenan, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 18:48 (eighteen years ago)
I have only done cross-country skiing. It is very tiring. I went on a ski trip with my dad, my friend, and my friend's dad in Austria. By the time we got back to the lodge in the evening after skiing all day, I was starving. For dinner was fish. You have to realize that as finicky a eater as I am now, I was worse in middle school (when this happened). Plus I have never liked fish. Plus plus this fish was served whole and complete, with head and eyes intact. But I was so tired and so hungry that I ate that fish, and it was delicious.

Skiing is fun! So is pussy (if you're a straight man or a lesbian).
