My first post- woo hoo

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

I have been watching you people for months- and I laughed my ass off most of the time. Take that in any way you wish.

I first wish to apologize for not making my first post more clever…

sigh…

Hello. I’m Ratatosk, I’m 25- I have a cool pair of shoes.

I feel like I know some of you, and i know who WallyM7 so you don’t need to jump on me—And I know who Serliner is as well- though not his sercret identity.

At the risk of being wordy and boring, I will stop here.

Hello. I’m Ratatosk, I like the Cure.
If you want to say hello to me, I would appreciate a description of your shoes.

2

hello. I would suggest avoiding me.

I’m wearing a pair of steel-toed Doc Martins square cut.

I also wear Tsubos from time to time.

3

Shoes?

Your not one of those foot fetishists are you? I don’t know if I want some stranger drooling over a description of my all black Vans sneakers with the one tiny little white stripes on the side. … Doh! Damn.

And, hey, “I have a cool pair of shoes” isn’t exactly a description either.
If we gotta, you gotta.

Welcome aboard.

Hey there. Hi there. Ho there.

Shiny black low-quarters with enough polish on them to wax all the floors in the White House.

Enjoy your stay.

Well, I’ve been told it’s my sworn duty to follow oldscratch around the board and post wherever he’s posted, so here I am. :wink:

I have cool shoes too. Right now I have a pair of green velvet Docs on. But my favorite pair is my mid-calf “bigass mean lookin’ boots”. Don’t get to wear them much.

Welcome, and beware the letter K.

Hi there Ratatosk. I’m wearing a pair of brown, greasy leather, low-top Doc Martens. I wear them to work every day, except maybe once a month when I wear my black ones of the same style, but without the cushiony edge around the ankle.

When I’m not at work, I usually wear my brown Doc Marten’s sandals, my 10 eye black Doc Marten’s boots or a pair of white Nike tennis shoes w/red and black accents.
Almost always the sandals though. Even in winter. Nice to meet you and your shoes.

No, I’m not a foot fetishist, I just couldn’t think of anything to entice people to post here.

But now that I think about it, shoes are very funny-looking appendages- kinda like an ear.

Maybe shoes and ears are all too often lamentably overlooked nowadays.

Plus, I just bought my first new pair of shoes in about 5 years.

They are black and white wingtips, a bit like Buddy Holly’s in Six-String Samurai.

Welcome here.

Don’t be shy - The minimum post count quota for day one is usually 60. One full hour at the maximum “flood control” rate.
You can’t pace yourself and hope to finish, so just get to it.

Or not.:smiley:

Since posting to this thread I’ve recieved a deluege of requests asking me what, oldscratch, what, exactly are Tsubos?

well they are simply really cool shoes.

You can check them out at http://www.tsubo.com

You can see the pairs I wear here and here

10

Oooo cool shoes indeed. I had a pair like the brown suede ones, they weren’t Tsubos, but they looked a lot like them. Till my ex stole them. Grr.

11

Hey, Ratatosk, you (and your brand new pair of shoes) are welcomed here anytime.

What shoes am I wearing? At this moment, none, my feet are completely naked. I like to type naked, feet-naked that is. Anyhoo, I just got a new pair of sneakers. Remember the incredibly cool Nikes that Marty McFly brought back from the future? Well, just got ’em. Now, if I could only get one of those kick-ass hoverboards my life would be complete. :slight_smile:

May the force be with you (and with your feet!).

12

Hi-

It’s me.

I started a welcome thread for you, but found to my dismay that you had already gone and done it yourself.
You went over my helmet!

I will never, ever post in any of your threads again, asshole!

Plus you’re a newbie and nobody will like you as soon as I tell them about all the vintage porn that you keep in your filing cabinet…

I’m sorry I ever brought you here!

13

How about sharing your porn with us, Ratatosk? :slight_smile:

14

Helloooo!

waves

I’m not wearing any shoes. I take my shoes off as soon as I sit in the living room. Shoes are so confining.

However, the shoes I had been wearing are black leathery-looking chunky high-heeled zipper-up boots. They go up past my ankles around six inches. I bought them at Wal*Mart for $16.99. :^)

Nice to have you here! Just don’t ask what felching is, or we might have to kill you.

15

Turpentine
Call me naive, but what is the difference between “vintage porn” and “new porn”?

Ratatosk
Oh yes, I just wear boring cheap tennis shoes, but with air cushion soles. Welcome aboard. The ship can now sail.

16

Ummm, Turpentine? Some of us like vintage porn.

Anyways, welcome, Ratatosk! My feet are blissfully naked at the moment, but when shod, my fave shoes are my nifty red sneakers (another Wal*Mart find!).

I like the Cure too, but I loooooove Garbage.

17

Sorry for the hijack, but does this make anyone else laugh? If it doesn’t, imagine a 12th century english peasant uttering this phrase.

Still no? Okay… Sorry.

<gets back in his box>

18

hello there. i’m at home, so no shoes here, they are left at the door. i am wearing eeyore slippers. does that count?

19

Welcome Ratatosk! I hope you… what? I can’t join the discussion because I’m barefoot!!!

Well I never…

20

Sorry that my thread got all the posts and yours didn’t Turps. It was because you were dissin’ the vintage porn, baby.

Stella Stevens- VA VA VOOM!

And thanks to everybody else who shared descriptions of their footwear to me, or lack thereof.
I have no problem with bare, dirt-blackened hippie feet. All are welcome!

::Passes around copies of 80’s “Swank” ::

And Turps- If you want to be a pin up girl, you have to stop worrying your pretty head over these things :slight_smile:
