shoes

["Andrew \"Jamoozy\" Correa" <jamoozy@>]

I generally walk around without my shoes on.  I think they're 
overrated.  People often ask me why, and I just point to this CNN 
article explaining how shoes are not only small torture chambers (as a 
certain Arab man I know is apt to say), but they can be the highest of 
insults, apparently.

Apropos the article, can you believe the hype?  I love this country as 
much as the next gun-hoarding redneck, but when I first saw this video 
back in September, I laughed my ass off.  Not because it's insulting, 
not because I'm particularly anti-Bush, not because al-Zaidi is a lousy 
shot, but because of the reaction in the room at the time.  Stares.  
Faces filled with nothing but awe and surprise.  A pink dragon may as 
well have walked across the center of the room; the reaction would have 
been the same.

But I digress.  Shoes are unnecessary.  Let's talk "shoes" at this week's

            Once you are in 32, just take the G-elevator to the 9th
