Aaah the magic of French - I just told my wife that she's "a la poubelle" and she kissed me!

Amy - where are your Jewish roots? Let the gentiles pay retail, shop the sales next week...

Sheesh, have you assimilated MOTs forgotten EVERYTHING we hold dear????

Why do women have energy about shoes and feet?

"Why do women have energy about shoes and feet?"

Because we do, silly.
I'm sure you can imagine these in their proper setting.

You want to impress, Amy, wear this.

It'll get you more attention than Danica Patrick's firesuit - especially if it's slightly broken in.

Especially if you're not anywhere near a racetrack. Step out a ways, to the Rock Store, for a look at these things in action.

Radwase I always assumed you were a guy, but the inflection of your sentance suggests otherwise

Lujlp, I am. Crid is just being silly.

Go look at shoes on people walking somewhere. Watch them move. I think Yogi Berra said, "You can observe a lot just by watching." He was right.

I was married to a woman I still believe is the only creature that can move properly in heels. I've seen her turn heads many times with a walk - and not by showing a lot of skin or wiggle, either. I respectfully suggest that if you have a problem with the footwear at the link, you have no appreciation for what might be stepping out in them.

Amy has posted repeatedly about genetic programming in the differences between men and women. Me, I wonder how it is that I am particularly impressed by visuals about which I could not possibly have received instruction, subliminal or not.

And yet Mugabe was in Copenhagen last week lecturing us ignorant Westerners on how to be better citizens of the world.

Are you in France for the holidays Amy?

Oh, and I got to wear these absolutely adorable Explorers Wellingtons while we dug our cars out of the snow yesterday morning, and followed up with some truly fabulous combat boots when we ventured forth to the mall that afternoon!

I am in Southern California.

Japan was affordable at 300 Yen to the dollar, which has gone the way of fifty cent gasoline. If I ever make it back, it's going to cost the kids their inheritance...

We've already covered this.

I say women still have a fascination with feet and footly comfort that goes beyond this.

I am in Southern California.

In other words, France AND Mexico.

Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer was named after a legendary Viking, notorious for bickering with his wife. Although devoted to one another, they found they could agree on absolutely nothing. For example, one day he happened to look out the window during an overcast day and mentioned to his wife that it was raining out. His wife glanced outside and, true to form, disagreed, maintaining that it was actually snowing, not raining. As always, they began to bicker about the precise form of precipitation. Finally, exasperated by his wife's obstinancy, the Viking bellowed, "Rudolph the Red knows rain, dear!"

"Why do women have energy about shoes and feet?"

"Men can't keep more than one thought in they're head if they're sick. But no matter what a woman is doing, there's always a part of her brain thinking about shoes."
