what are those new toeshoes what are they for

running

they're cool as hell

oh are they for running with a similar feel to being barefoot without the attendant health risks of running barefoot?

because that really is cool

Yes

And they're fantastic

I own a pair of the Classic Vibram FiveFingers, and ran with them just last week, and it actually feels better than running with running shoes

Pip: Women don't want to see men's feet, you're gay so you have solved this issue by being with men

Nick Offerman agrees with me and he's more of a man than everyone who posts here combined

Daric, your infatuation with being a man is gayer than actually hooking up with a man. There is only one way to be a man, and it is simple. Take care of business.

I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good, therefore, that I can do or any kindness I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it for I shall not pass this way again.

This is a nice Quaker proverb that I see on a wall, when I go grab my lunch.
It's supposedly from Stephen Grellet.

It's on my mind often, and I think I'm less hesitant in my actions because of it.

Just run barefoot and have both. Hurts a bit more, and there are more dangers out there. But comfort costs money.

I could at least wear socks
I mean, there's sacrificing and being creative and then there's just being dumb

This whole movement in five fingered shoes is a desire to get to as close as barefoot running as possible. When I first heard of this movement years ago it was because of a bunch of people read this book called "Born to Run". The book deals with much more than barefoot running, but that is one aspect of it. Here is a link where you can read more about it.

http://www.amazon.com/Born-Run-Hidden-Superathletes-Greatest/dp/0307266303

And I'm not sure socks would help much, but on a high school track or treadmill you can get away with running barefoot easy, or stepping to the side of a paved path where there is decent grass.

Always check your pockets before you stick your pants in the wash.

There might be a metaphor in there I don't know.

Fucking phone.

I was freaking out thinking that I washed my phone the other day. Brand new, first phone I owned I didn't get for a twenty off E-bay. Front loading washer, couldn't open it up to check. Full of anxiety, trying to pass time, waiting to see.

Blake T

Why didn't you see if you could find it somewhere else?

(Also you can usually turn it off and then turn it back on and set it to drain to check, THINGS I FOUND OUT YESTERDAY)

The only other place it would be is my friends bathroom, and he was sleeping soundly with another, and the door was locked. I figured I could wake them up and check, but if it wasn't there I would know it was in the wash, and there wasn't much I could do about it. Or I could not wake them and wait, then check the wash. It was one of the situations where you really couldn't change the outcome, so just let it ride and don't make a fuss.

Blake T

Or you could have called it.

It wouldn't had rung if it was in the wash.

Most people slumming around D.C. looking for smokes or change, I'd be that one that goes up to a stranger playing with their phone.

Hey man, can I bum ...

No, sorry, don't have any.

No one listen to Sweeney re: footwear he wears sandals with socks

Which is ladyboner poison

Other than that though men's footwear depends on the occasion, and if you are properly dressed for it

But do wear gators.

You can postpone but eventually, Windows will update.

That's a lesson right there.

Life lesson: Everytime somebody says "ignore somebody's advice because they did something dumb once" ignore them, because that's stupid.

Sweeney Tom

Also, never eat late night McDonald's food, it'll give you the shits

BRB, going to the bathroom for the 5th time in a row

I like how your proud declaration of wearing terrible footwear and then giving advice to other people on footwear is supposed to be okay because you just 'did something dumb once'

Sometimes you just don't give a fuck, you wear brown and black, socks with sandals. Why? Because who cares? First impressions matter a lot, but doing what you want, and feeling comfortable with it, is a damn sight better then playing games to win a heart.

mensch-o-matic

Brown and black

isn't really on the same level as socks with sandals


I mean

I guess sometimes you can wear white after labor day and your underwear on the outside

Sure sure why give a damn about how you look

Let's all just roll around in the mud I'm just going out for a walk who gives a fuck,

mensch-o-matic

if your footwear is any less elaborate than this you are unfit for society sorry

Sweeney Tom

That whole "white after labor day" thing has always been stupid, though.
