:cry:

They're falling apart. I've had these shoes for almost six years, and they're starting to fall apart already. All I did to them was skate, walk countless miles, wear them to work at the tackle shop, on the boat, in the rain, mud, dog poo, vomit (don't ask about that one).

Why, Vans? Why can't you make a shoe that is impervious to salt water, dry rot, poo, stomach acid, grip tape, concrete, asphalt, and other things that tend to destroy shoes? Why can't I ever get more than six years out of a pair of your shoes?

I know the feeling, I got drunk and lost my hat. ;(

Now I'm actually gonna have to do something with my hair, instead of just leaving it in an unruly mop.

Real men stay in bed all day so dont need shoes.

However slippers are a pre-requisite if you have a cold floor and need to take a dump fast.

Had me cracking up!


The cold and the need to duece go hand in hand. When you got to go and the seat is frozen, doesn't it seem to just flow right out of ya?

Real men use their heads. Women like feet that don't look like they've been through the meat grinder. Therefore, real men wear shoes.

How do slippers expidite the pooing process?
*Please note, the preceeding question was rhetorical.*

I tried, but it got me far to scared ( as in getting scars all over). I just run out of shoes ( sorry:embarassed: ) very quickly.

I bet it has something to do with wanting to get into the ministry of silly walks

That particular pair of shoes were the last ones I bought while I still skated. I haven't been on a board in about four or five years.

And what is this Ministry of Silly Walks? I'm thinking obscure Monty Python reference.

Yes it is monty python, about some people doing some really silly walks. It cracks me up every time :)

Ahh...now it's coming back to me. I've seen a very small snippet of that skit on a late night "Monty Python Collection" commercial.

Just to prove that everything has a silver lining. My terrible hat deficiency forced me to do something with my hair, and I eventually went the emo/manga route. All spiky and dramatic. Looks quite snazzy if I say so myself.

Long story short, I pulled because of it ;D

Edit: That movie is scary 0.o
