John's secret life in 1988

That was supposed to be a secret?

Oh no, I've said too much...

I am going to fail a test tomorrow bump

Oh no, I've said too much...

I thought I that heard you laughing.

Laughing... crying... seeking shelter in my house until the moon changed phase and John once again returned to human form...

Yes, it was something like that.

I hate everybody tonight guys

need to killfile all the earthpeople again I think

I know it's a bit early in the day BUT itr, opinions on these shoes pls:

home from work bump

those shoes are fugly, but i just hate that style of shoe in general.

Nick they're awful :(

i like the slip-on Vans and those are the nearest to the ones I already have. but re: colour, youse are probably right. suggest me something else then j-dawg and m-dawg.

just emerged from a looooooooooong boring meeting. i can handle long. i can handle boring. but not both.

Um, no, the colour's fine. I just hate slip-on vans :(

you don't need to be :( about it; they're just shoes :)

i think we're allowed to disagree. they are soooo comfortable and convenient and not half as ubiquitous as chuck taylors. i don't get the converse plague at ALL.

I think that pattern is fine for a rug but not so hot for a shoe. I approve of slip-ons in general but tend to be more of the solid color school.

You certainly can't accuse Chucks of comfort. But, they look nice! And they have substantial nostalgia value.

not ubiquitous?? they are in nz!

well do i live in NZ??? UMM NO

<3?

wtf, CNN.com

^^^^^ what the hell is wrong with this country

Hahaha, you beat me to linking to that thread. (Dan's question U+K)

i am not really a fan of the slip on van look but i do like those colors!

sara good luck on your test, too! here is some motivation: remember that paper i decided to phone in a while back? A!! so, i feel that we can all achieve good grades with minimal effort. you can dooo itt!!!

tehresa, thank you so much for the good luck! I feel like I need it on this area. When we start edging out of biology and into chemistry and physics, I am leaving my comfort zone.

I feel like saying I am not a fan of that type of shoe is piling on at this point. Sorry Nick!

re: the pelican in the tree story: ?????!!!!! Is it *that* slow a news day?

never underestimate the power of the pelican.

nick, that shoe is for wearing on a boat, a special hipster kind of boat, which I'm not sure if that makes the boat and its crew more or less douchey than average, but at any rate it seems out of character for a guy who got drunk and asked me for career advice, since I can't afford a boat either. nb mostly because I refuse to move the fuck away from DC and prefer expensive computers and loudspeakers to expensive means of getting about in the water. But I hope you understand my distaste for its leisurely affectations nonetheless. otoh, it's your fucking feet, fuck 'em.

How do you fuck your own feet (without wrenching your back)?

self-abuse yoga

Dan, I'm surprised you haven't already imagined how that might work, and illuminated us ;-).

suzy really does know Dan well.

I have a great deal of respect for Tom's judgement (drunken or otherwise) and it seems to comport with the general itr consensus on those shoes. I am not really one for boats or hipsters so I shall therefore look elswhere for footwear that meets my needs. I thank you all.

You should go shoe shopping with RR. I feel sure she would be the perfect shoe style consultant (because isn't that one of her jobs - selling shoes - right now)? Plus you could take Tom along for snarky commentary.

This would, of course, be easier if you were not all three on separate continents.

i like those shoes but couldn't wear them myself because shit don't have any support. brown shoes forever. on another thread a poster made a good point the other day:

Vans seem to have a small anus built into the soles.

-- Savannah Smiles, Wednesday, April 23, 2008

Sara's idea is Uh-mazing! I have already invited myself to RR's californian wedding so get Tombot to come along and it could happen. Although shoe-shopping would probably just feel like a waste of good drinking time.

I also think a Tombot one of these http://images.forbiddenplanet.com/image/detail/1129496d.jpg would be awesome.

tempted to p hotoshop it to make it so. am i really that bored this evening?

Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little anus in your sole.

Obviously you could combine your drinking with your shoe shopping, although "shoe store hopping" does lack something when you suggest it as an activity...

lolol remy

unrelatedly: i watched 'golden compass' in 20 minutes last night, during the commercial breaks of top chef. what a crapper of a movie.

It looked gorgeous but fell so completely flat.

every point in it seemed necessary (but joyless) in getting to the next point, which seemed necessary (but joyless) in getting to the next point, which ... ended the film.

It was really more a filmed adaptation than a movie in its own right, though - yeah - it looked really amazing.

Yeah, it was disappointing. It seemed like the movie was too dumbed down, tried too hard to not be offensive (for all the good it did them), and then the ending was just not right. (sorry, for the integrity of the story, that kid has to be separated from his daemon and die).

yes. also i found it incredibly difficult to follow the action in the endless battle against the inuit, where helpful force after helpful force appeared willy-nilly and without reasonable expectation and repeatedly saved lyra and the little funny-looking boy.

I fucking hate Stewie

hay guize it's gala time!

i like those shoes

plus to fans of japanese animation your feet would appear to be traveling much faster than you actually are
