The Sandals

[flipped]

If you remember all of the little plot of me, you'll recall I bought a pair of sandals only a small while ago. Yesterday, the back strap that keeps the right one my foot broke. In defiance and refusal to accept that I got royally gipped once again, I wore them anyway today

I wonder if me gnawing my foot completely off in a fit of rage over the whole thing will get me a couple more tens of millions of dollars.

Don't do it, man.

I'm pretty sure that willful destruction of evidence is a federal offence. They could put you away for life! And, to top it all off, you'd only have one foot!! Your prison rapists would probably call you "stumpy", or something equally unsympathetic. Those guys can be so callous sometimes.

Got it. No gnawing off the foot. I guess the raw big toe will have to do. I'm pretty sure I can live on just one ten million dollars. ;)

It's probably for the best.

Remember the fable of Kid Icarus: he flew too high, too close to the sun, and then his skateboard melted, and he fell down into one of those gaps between the islands and died.

I'm pretty sure that's how the story went, yeah.

I hereby and forever more curse all sandal manufacturers. Over all this, I'm completely distraught emotionally. I think I'll cry myself to sleep tonight, and then I'll wake up, call the lawyer, and yell into the phone, "WE HIT THE JACKPOT THIS TIME BABY!"

Mein gott! You sound just like George Costanza!!!

Oh oh. Now that can't be a good thing.

Don't gnaw anything off. We all know where that foot has been.... ;)

Sandals are footwear.
Footwear is evil.
Only barefeet are acceptable.

How come Canada has a lot niftier shades of green than America?!? We are suppose to be the land of excess, greed, and more colors than we could possibly need for Pete's sake!

They were a 40 buck pair from JC Penny's. The problem probably was that I'm getting older now. When this happens elastic seems to become this miracle invention handed down directly from God. I got a pair with two small strips of elastic material sewn to the back strap. Where the leater and elastic were sewn together was where it broke. I guess that's one more thing I'll have to bitch Him out about when I finally get His ear.

But sandals are the closest I'm allowed to get to barefeet at the office. It's all too big a deal to come in here with the proper clothes, I think, but at least we don't have to wear those stupid choking ties anymore.

Hmm. Wal-mart sells fairly decent sports sandals for El Cheapo. Velcro straps and such. They last a while; or at least they do for me (I rarely wear them. ;-)

Oops, that should have been posted by me. My bad.

You shop at Wal-Mart, and you call yourself a Canadian???

Booooooooo!

[fllngrdian]

I concur!

I don't even shop at Wal-Mart and I'm an American! WAL-MART IS THE DEVIL!!!
