TO MOLLIFY LINGJACKSON OVERDRIVEBERT WHO IS THE SQUEAKY DESERT FIEND, POST ON THIS THREAD AND ONE OF YOUR FRIENDLY ITR MODS WILL TELL YOU THAT YOU ARE WICKED AWESOME, AND POSSIBLY OFFER AN EFFUSIVE ST

<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)?

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

gayla

who is stewie?

the fourth of Uncle Scrooge's nephews

Ahem, Tom, the point was not Stewie (who i also am a hater of) but to have a portable device that makes El Tombot-esque jibes at the push of a button.

(stewie being the family guy character in the picture posted above)

ahhhhhh moderator no images foils me once again

I would be very entertained to see John wearing those shoes.

I don't care, I hate stewie.
But go ahead, replace me with a noisy toy, see if I care.

i'd be more entertained to see tom in that hat

That sounds like the beginning of the perfect ITR fasion show.

Do I get points for not being able to spell "fashion" correctly?

Okay, I'm off to go eat and then take a test and then start all over with new information, even though my brain is full.

Good evenings, all!

look what arrived for me today:

it got sent to my parents' place so i asked my mum to take a photo of it. i have a somewhat weird relationship with my mother, who is a little crazy to say the least, but sometimes she completely surprises me, eg. this is the email she sent with the degree photos:
What neat feeling I had when I opened up the envelope and saw your certificate. It brought tears to my eyes. I know that you graduated but it isnt reality until I saw the certificate. I am so really really proud of my girl.

i'm pretty sure that's the first time my mum has ever said she's proud of me.

aww. that's so nice. and you are totally deserving of certificates and kind words. and maybe a back that is not broek.

Mom message = :-)

i am raising a bottle of newcastle brown ale to the air in jubilatory honour of your success.

While Upto is doing that, I'm stealing the rest of his beer.

<3 to you guys. i'm off to work :(
