I am wearing shoes today

[Ruphus]

What do you mean with "shoes"?
Boots, sandales, sneakers? And what colour?

Met a guy today who was complaining about uneven size of his new pair. Though expensive the left one constricting his toes. Met my niece as well who was wearing flip flops eventhough it´s been the first warm day since weeks, not too warm actually, just decent.

Rup,

thanks - you are the king of funk

[Ruphus]

What funk? I was dead serious.
It´s been sunny enough though for sun glasses ´n beer today.
Weather hasn´t been too good in the past months, even with old shoes on.

Shoes are being overrated anyway. I mean look at ostriches, they don´t even have any but would win the current soccer orgy barefoot in the twinkling of an eye, by kicking all those dandies from the field.
You would then spend the birds a pile of earthworms, take the trophy and sell it to a metal dealer.

All without shoes. But socks are an entirely different story.
In the seventies I had a pair that had written "Help!" on them. I digged them for their sincerety.
Have you ever seen an European climbing the Himalaya without having socks on? - I mean the climber, not the Himalaya ...

Maybe without sox the Himalaya might have not been climbed and never been acknowledged. It might even have been listed just as `undefined exalatation somwhere in Asia or so´ today, hadn´t there been woolen socks that brought these glorious mountains to us.

If you´d ask the Himalaya I guess he might be fond of socks. Specially of those with tartan pattern on them, don´t ya think?

Yes, I agree; this could be your personal right, eventually, theoretically, maybe even totally.
But why would you be doing that? I mean not only that, any of it. Whatever degree of more or less retentive impulse floating a choice of emotion.

The question of reaction, of taking or giving a view or perception ... It might possibly be somewhere in between the hypothetical answer and the unthought idea.

There has been the time of cloth wrapped feet, then linen socks, then wool, then cotton and diverse sorts of mineral oil devirates like nylon. Every human specimen who owns a pair of bad smelling feet very likely has been trying the plastic variation at a time.

So we went through all that R&D throughout the millenia only to discover that we can develop a weird odor in shoes if we let the sheep go and substed start drilling deep holes into the earth in order to find nylon socks.

I can understand the offence that you take by that, sometimes I do feel offended by this myself, eventhough having that certain feeling deep inside that it all depends on the way we look at things.

I mean the technology that allows to sweat under our feet enables a completely new way of individually conquering the world by leaving a distinctive indentation within our urban district. And that without the need to cower even, or say like the fiddly way dogs for instance have to do by piddling at all the corners they come accross, including those of car bumpers. - A remarkably intelligent way to expand your district without immediate risk, though!

So, you see, technology allows us elegant ways to return to self-realization and to mother nature in the same time.

Isn´t it after all a rather friendly circumstance to consider in place of a deemed disturbing casuality that we needed to take offence on?

No brother, let´s not take offence, let us give it away instead.
Everyone knows that giving is better than taking, except of the grounding fathers of our constitutions who hadn´t come across nylon yet.

Sleep well and enjoy the night in satin bedclothes without cracknel crumbs.

I like socks. Either on my feet in place of shoes when indoors, or on my hands as puppets. Sock puppets. Good times.

Yeah, sock puppets are cool, but not nearly as fun as paper lunch bag puppets. And here's a tip for the traveler - on most airlines, the air sickness bag in the seat pouch in front of you is very similar in design and construction to a paper lunch bag and can be used to make a nifty little puppet. It's a good way to break up the monotony of a long trip. Be sure to leave it in the seat pouch at the end of the flight for the enjoyment of the next passenger.

They are of plastic though and you might eventually get feet sweat on your hands like with nylon socks. Who knows!

BTW, I frequently used those bags as a kid.
Used to vomit in cars and planes ( even once in the tramway in Rome! At that time they still had fat old women employed who were sitting in the wagons to keep them in order, and they would start screaming right away after my attack. Like "Oh look what that little bastard has done! A stinking catastrophe!!" in Italian dialect.) Luckily that has changed.

It was almost like "Let´s go see the world!" > brrrulllb <
