Is it weird that I want these shoes?

[Ego Eram Reputo 2,298]

Uh...yes?

[Sfifer 15]

I have a great urge to buy a pair of Heelys, even though they're widely considered children's shoes.

[Ego Eram Reputo 2,298]

I want to know why women get all the cool looking high heeled boots & men only get cowboy boots! I want a 60mm heeled boot that doesn't look like it belongs to a rodeo

[welshblue 2,298]

Having been dragged around too many shoe shops ... usually to go back for her to buy from the 1st one, you can't help but notice that women have a lot more choice in all shoes. Not just boots.

So much for eqaulity

@ Kemaru ... my 13 year old daughter loves them - so one of yous is weird

Women have far more choice in everything fashion-related really.

[Ego Eram Reputo 2,298]

Yup, that's why they choose iphones and VW Beetles Not because they're great, but because they look 'cute'.

[Kemaru 44]

Okay, I ended up buying a different model with a different pattern. I agree with you guys about women's fashion...

Jetta >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Beetle.

Awesome shoes Kemaru.

[welshblue 2,298]

The beetle truly is an ugly car. The new Scirocco FTW every time. Or you can't go wrong with any Golf Gti

[Zwicky 7]

Good choice Kemaru, much better than the first pair

Oh. And yay, 600 posts, which is a pretty pointless milestone. Took me long enough, seeing as I've only posted eight times this year D:

I have exams in two days. Why am I on here?!

Why am I so cynical?

Am I losing my mind?

0.o

...

[Kemaru 44]

^ I just realised I have close to 3,000 posts... Also a meaningless milestone.

School starts on Tuesday, I can't wait! Math 6, Probability and Statistics wohoo!

[pyrochild 339]

I have exams in two days. Why am I on here?!

Am I losing my mind?

Because we're awesome.

Yes.

I just wanted to say that women may have more choice, but they also have more bloody potato to wade through.

[Edit] Also, the Extensive is not coming soon.

Thanks for clarifying, pyro.

@Kemaru: 3000 is a waay better milestone, generally multiples of 1000 have at least a slightly positive connotation

[N00Bz 2]

good sans serif font guys?

[pyrochild 339]

Futura

[Kemaru 44]

Walkway font family. Go to dafont.com, you'll find great sans serif fonts there.

[Zwicky 7]

Made a new sig/avatar for the first time in over a year. It was strange to be working in Paint.NET again!

I've always thought Porsches look like Beetles (or vice versa), but for men. Not a fan either way.

A traveler was headed down a lonely road when it began to rain. Luckily he happened upon a monastery just off the side of the road. He knocked on the door and was greeted by one of the monks. He asked if he could stay the night, to which the monk replied that their order would gladly shelter him, as long as he stayed out of the tower with no doors. As he settled down for the night he suddenly heard an ungodly noise coming from the tower the monk mentioned, a cross between screaming and the wind on aluminum foil. Then suddenly it stopped and he soon fell asleep. He awoke refreshed and asked one of the monks about the sound, but the monk replied that only monks

of their monastery may know what is in the tower. He thanked the monks for their hospitality and went on his way. About a year later he returned to the monastery and asked about becoming a monk. The head monk replied that if he would aid the monastery in small ways they would consider him. So for the next five years he helped tend the gardens, clean the windows, and learn of the monks' religion. He even once helped them recover a holy relic to be housed in the monastery. Eventually the head monk told the traveler he was ready to become a monk and initiated him. The monks recited a prayer for such an occasion and provided him with a robe of their brotherhood, and the head monk said it was time to see what was in the tower. The head monk led the new initiate down into the catacombs, deeper and deeper until the head monk found and pressed a loose brick. This opened a secret passage leading to a spiral stair. Up, up they went. Their legs grew tired until the head monk opened a trap door leading to a room surrounded with ivy covered trellises. They were inside the tower now. The head monk opened a door leading to another spiral staircase leading to the room at the very top of the tower. The head monk pulled out a key and unlocked the wooden door, pulling it aside to reveal a rusty iron door. The door clattered as the head monk pulled it open, and behind it was a titanium door. The head monk pressed a six digit PIN on a panel on the door and it slid open. The room was at first too dark to see anything. The head monk flipped a switch and a dim light bulb flickered on. Finally the traveler saw with his own eyes the source of that mysterious sound which he had spent all those years laboring to discover. But I can't tell you what it was because you're not a monk.

Interesting. I didn't laugh out loud when I first read the joke. But, I'm laughing now.
