  Clearly from the Land of Too Much Time on Their Hands!

  Decorative and completely useless, but do enjoy.

  The website has more info that you really need on this topic, but fun anyway – thanks.

  The link’s not quite right. It’s:

  Damn, you know I’ve been looking for this info. I’ve got half dozen pairs of sneakers and am always tripping over the damned laces because I don’t know what to do with all that lacing overage and all those extra holes in the show I guess I’m supposed to know how to lace through. Those shoes should come with instructions. Now I’ve found the answers to lacing quandary.

  I’M SERIOUSLY WAY TOO SHOE LACE CHALLENGED TO EVEN BEGIN TO TRY SOMETHING LIKE THIS. . .

  Love it!

  Isn’t it the American dream to have too much free time on one’s hands? Why do people with free time on their hands always get yelled at about having free time on their hands?

  I have a pair of kicks with the lattice laces. They look cool, but are a bitch to tighten. Fortunately Ian tells you that in advance.

  With my diabetes feet? Just gimmee the velcro strap closures on my sneakers.

  I smell fishy feet.

  the clerk pointed out that I needed to tie my shoes at ‘gamestop’ the other day.
  I bent over to do this he started to laugh at the fact I was wearing ‘tighty whities’.
  I pointed out they were boxer briefs, he said those counted as well.
  At $32/2 pair for fucking calven klein and I’m still getting laughed at.
  I hope when he’s my age his balls have drooped down to his kneecaps after wearing loose boxers all his life.

  @RCoA: No yelling involved here, just marveling.

  @Jacky: If a clerk had done that to me, I would hope he would enjoy the sale he didn’t get. I don’t buy stuff from jerks. You may want to try it as it stops that cr*p cold.

  Scott:

  Amen! I feel your neuropathy.

  Jacky, I will have you know that I have used adequate support for many, many years and yet when unleashed they still bungee towards the tiles with the unabashed joy of a newly flight-trained bird! Gravity will have it’s way with you no matter what.

  Short of ice packs, the support of briefs are required for daily life, lest they be stepped on.

  Regarding the clerk, I would have first questioned him as to why he was looking at my butt, then while he was stammering a response I would have bitch slapped him with my yam-sack.

  That’s just how Ira rolls…

  Scott of the purple peds: You can still rock out in sensible ortho’s – all you need is a Bedazzler!

  My mother’s bingo shoes are truly a wonder to behold! See for yourself! Just type “Ada Shlamazel’s Bedazzeled Bingo Shoes” into Google Earth. Look for them in the Forest Hills/Flushing area of Queens, NY.

  i used to wear boxers and briefs in equal porportions until I switched to boxer/briefs. I still have a half dozen pair of regular briefs for when I decide to go to the gym. IE they are rarly worn. but I think I only have one two pair of boxers.
  Novelty type. one pink elephants and the other duck print.

  “Regarding the clerk, I would have first questioned him as to why he was looking at my butt, then while he was stammering a response I would have bitch slapped him with my yam-sack.”

  Yeah, that clerk had no business bringing up his undies. I think Miss Manners would agree with Ira, but only up to a point.

  Ira: I wasted .02 seconds, thanks to you!

  when it comes to tying
  I limit myself to tying one on…

• 18 RCoA // Aug 17, 2009 at 3:28 pm

  A correction is deserved Gunner13, I didn’t mean to apply a yell to your comment, only to others I’ve seen in life.

• 19 Ira Shlamazel // Aug 17, 2009 at 5:15 pm

  I’ll drink to that, Stretch!

• 20 Pookie // Aug 28, 2009 at 12:07 pm

  hold on there, little lady. I don’t tie my shoes. I thought it was a decoration.

  I’m thinking maybe that would be a good thing, though, because I could walk with my legs closer together, huh?

  wow. who knew?
