One thing about shoes is you gotta spend some dough on them. I walk about 10 or more miles at work each night so I need really good kicks. I have three pair of shoes that I call the Three Aces. They will last a long time and once I broke them in they've been sweet. I just hope I don't have to go to San Francisco 'cuz I'm afraid they won't hold up well there.

The costlier the shoes the more care the Mayalsian sweat shop puts into them

I don't walk as much as Smitty, but the other thing about good shoes is that you can get them repaired, thus making them an even better value.

sk, it's just a matter of time brah

and the swedes allegedly have perfect genetics.

i am part swedish and can totally attest to this

fucking hell. was procrastinating and not working by looking at cutting edge graphics cards and comparing it to my old rig (which ain't gonna be replaced any time soon).

Or so I thought. the power usage of the latest round of graphics cards is a third at peak from what I've got sitting in my rig now. It's a big ol' antiquated power hog, so it is.

my "I LIKE FACTS" poster was a hit at the rally for sanity.

all praise be to the criminally underused bsg graemlin.

Maybe it's time to retire the Taco Bell Girardi/Rivera chalupa commercial.

There was a guy walking past me with a huge sign supported by PVC pipe, it read, "This sign is too damn big."

Someone was there dressed as Tommy Wiseau from The Room, with a sign that said, "You're Tearing Me Apart, Lisa!"

Spotted Batman, at least three Captain Americas, Robocop, The Monopoly Man, Cyclops from the X-Men, Donald Duck, and Popeye, among others.

Did not see CalvinBall or td11.

Tried to see how many signs/pamphets I could get. Gave up on that after I had no more hand/arm space for them.

I enjoyed the people watching far more than the rally, which I couldn't see/hear.

My aunt and uncle traveled from Bellingham, Washington to go to this rally. I hope they had fun.

wow. i hope so too. if it was much more than a 2 hour drive no way im going.

That doesn't sound like a particularly sane thing to do.

So they were there for the fear part?

Punk kids egged my brand new car last night.

The kid in the Toyota Highlander commercial might be the worst human on television.

Rich Little has apparently purchased a popular local summer camp and intends to change the curricula to cater to the budding impressionist or impersonator. A slight name change of the facility will take place, which will now be known as "Camp Mock-a-Nixon".

Try the veal!

Halloween has the best themed music of any holiday.

Even as a kid I was never much into candy. And I certainly wasn't into walking around, so Halloween was always kind of a drag for me. I still hold no fondness for it.
