Things To Ponder
Why do you often see a shoe lying on the side of the street?
It's from a hitch-hiker who got picked up too fast.
Because it would be shoeicide to lie in the middle of the street?
Oof. NB that was a vicious pun
that's where they land when they fall from airplanes.

The driver said "hop in".
if sheep can mosey around in the rain, why do i have to dry clean my wool pants?
what does cheese say when it gets it's picture taken?
I wanna know why you see shoes hanging from power lines.
It's the fuckin' hooligans, I tell you.

I wonder that too. I used to think it was a Wag the Dog homage, but now I don't think so. Anyone know?
a cheap alternative to weights on the line? Imagine the power company going to Goodwill and buying a bunch of used shoes.
probably just dumb kids though
My stepdad wrote a song about lonely shoes like that.
It's probably my favoritest song, evar.

Huuman! :D

Ouch.
Does the little mermaid wear an algaebra?

Multiple reasons...The most common is explanation is that drugs are sold nearby (Crack, heroin...take your pick...it's advertising.)
Second is that someone has died there and that it's a memorial....
Third, somebody graduated from school....or military basic training
All are listed as possible wacky urban legends...as it happens in rural areas as well as in the cities.
drugs are sold nearby? Nearby being a relative word, I think that's pretty much everywhere. Interesting, though.
so strange . . a little netsurfing shows a lot of these reasons. But have you ever done it? or known someone who has flung shoes?

Hey, he was an exchange student in my high school, but he spelled it "Hoo Haas Flung Choo." He was a Chinese-Norwegian.
Apparently, there's a fashion for throwing them on trees too....
Shoe TreesIf something was miss-spelled in a dictionary how would we know?
well, if it has three "s"s in a row, you can be pretty sure it's misspelled.
We get shoes on top of bus shelters here (you can see them from the top of double deckers). Definitely those pesky kids.
My thing to ponder - when someone says, "Can I help you?" why is help the last thing you'll usually get?
Why is it that when someone finds something they've lost, and when asked about it, they'll say "It was in the last place I looked."?

In my high school, all the seniors in marching band would throw their (purchased uniform) shoes over a line in front of the school on the last day of classes. It's as good a tradition as any, it's not like they'd ever need those shoes again... The janitors always took them down within a day or two though.
i've totally done it. we all do it. everybody does it.
. . . even though they say you'll go blind . . .
I only threw a shoe once. Never again.
I was in the first year of school, so 4-5. We were going for a walk in the Convent garden when my teacher saw a shoe by the side of the bushes. It looked long abandoned, an old tramp's shoe. She threw it further into the bushes - this was in the days before recyling. Now something in my little anarchist soul rejoiced at this - shoes, which had to be cared for, not scuffed, which WERE EXPENSIVE could be thrown into bushes! You couldn't even do that with litter!
A few days later on the playing field, I found my chance. A whole pile of abandoned shoes! I took one at random and lobbed it over the hedge into the allotments beyond. It really flew. Sadly, they belonged to a group of older girls doing handstands nearby. I was completely unable to explain myself and fell back on a lie suggested by the girl whose shoe I had liberated, "Did an older girl tell you to do it?" I was still in trouble, but so genuinely baffled that they let me off lightly.
Sorry Catherine Gordon. I honestly didn't know it was wrong, but I did do it on purpose.

No no no, I mena you are typing a paper or writing an email and you misspell a word or change your writing. You delete and retype it - where do those letters deleted go???
Most of these abandoned shoes are juvenile trainers/sneakers. It's kids alright the little shods.
My brothers used to hide and get rid of their shoes in a poorly thought out attempt to evade school..........
My husband tells me a different story of why the shoes are there sometimes (in urban communities).......And I couldn't believe it! And had never thought of it!!

why isn't there a bunch of spam offering creams to shrink one's vagina?
Why do some clothes say "One Size Fits All", when clearly that's not true?
why isn't there a bunch of spam offering creams to shrink one's vagina?
Because men don't have vaginas.
Because spammers think outside the box.
Because it's on the inside, out of sight.
Do gay men go for anal bleaching?
gay men and also women who like a bit of arse play now and then. Haven't you ever wondered about those people in porno's who don't have a little brownie? ;)
Over here, we don't throw shoes over power lines (well we do, but anyway) we tie two toads together with copper wire and attempt to electocute them. I suppose being hit with high voltage is probably preferable to being bashed to death with a cricket bat...but who knows.
why is it not cool for guys to ask for directions if they're lost (or to, you know--look at a map); but it's okay to spend money on a fancy gadget that beeps and lights up to show your exact position on the earth?
Because then they don't have to ask where they are?...

I'm new to the cellar. You will have to cut me some slack if I post to old threads. Holy cow is there a lot to read.
A long time ago, I worked in a store that sold a lot of shoes. At the end of the day, there would always be at least one shoe, as many as four or five shoes without mates.
I don't know if the other shoe is on the side of the road. Maybe the guy who is missing a shoe, came into our store to get another. I really don't know.
I do suspect the phenomena is related.

Maybe he's just not a post whore like the rest of us Drax. Perhaps he tries to include all his points in the one post instead of a different post for every point. ;)
nothing, why?
Cuz you included it in a reply to my shoe question.
Did you make it past those two sentences?
Did you bring the 3-D glasses Ali?

Yep, and a large coke. ;)

Yes, that's what I thought you'd say! :whip:
I hope there's some butter on that popcorn joe. We might need it. ;)
Yea, I'll get some. Hold on a sec....looking for my other shoe....
Maybe it's in the middle of the street?
not that there aren't shrink creams, just that there isn't the same amount of spam as the push for Big Dicks.
Here's what the incomparable Violet Blue says about them (on her "safe sex" page, if you are not reading your Violet Blue - shame on you - here 'tis:
http://www.tinynibbles.com/violetblue.html )
No one knows if "Shrink Creams" can hurt you. Widely available "shrink creams", "sure grip", "tighten up" and "feel like a virgin again" claim to make the vagina smaller or tighter. The key ingredient in these creams is alum. Alum absorbs water out of the outer layer of the skin; as more water is absorbed, the cells begin to swell, closing the ducts that water would normally flow through. No study has been done on the effect of these creams on the cervix, which is what they eventually end up getting rubbed on during penetration, but I'll wager it's not good. I kind of want to make the manufacturers snort a thick rail of alum, so they can study the effects on their own mucous membranes. What I really hate about these "shrink" creams is the fact that they're trading on female insecurities about the vagina not being tight, pretty or good enough for their male partner -- like we need any negative reinforcement from our pussy-phobic culture about how we look, feel or smell down there. The marketing text runs, "China Shrink Cream is formulated to tighten the vaginal walls. China Shrink Cream is to help with loose vagina due to multiple child birth and frigidity." I also want to throw up every time I see the packaging on these creams, as they are often called "oriental" or "China Shrink Cream", paralying off of racist stereotypes and exotifying Asian "sexual mystery", much the same way the porn industry fetishizes skin color and markets (I think racist) negative stereotypes about black male sexuality with its "interracial" videos.
ROFL...and you thought my post had nothing to do with your original question?
We are officially off the reservation.
New one: Does the reverse side also have a reverse side?
The statement at the bottom of this post is true.
The statement at the top of this post is false.

Still pondering this classic?

After going back 3 pages to figure out wtf you two were beeping about...I have to say:
Spill the beans Cic! Now I"m curious.

No really:
Some shoes on electric wires are there for dealers to let junkers know where to get durgs. In the ghettooooo.......
Random question that I didn't think I'd get a real answer to.....
:eek:
Now it really makes sense because the places are usually notorious for that type of activity in the first place....never put the two together before....
Going to look for shoes 'cause I am out of durgs! Thanks for the tip. ;)
Thats what cloud said back in post # 20 - now you gotta make up something even better!
Why are women always right, even when they're not?
Because you're stupid. ;)
just joshin' :lol:
Naw, you're right, I am stupid, but in least I ain't dumb. ;)
OK, here's one.
Lefty loosy righty tighty. I HATE that phrase. I mean, it depends where you consider the circle whether you are going to the left or right.
Drax- Even if I can't hear you talking you are still wrong.
:)
No exceptions guys!!

It's referring to which way your hand is turning.

Doesn't that have the same problem?
I get around it by the rule that it's the way the top of the nut/screw/lid is moving, that you go by.
My rule was: Clockwise to screw, ANTI-clockwise to ANTI-screw.
(Ok COUNTER-clockwise to COUNTER-screw for you Americans.)

No, you normally look at the top of your hand, performing those maneuvers.

Are you kidding Bruce? Heck - they drive on the wrong side of the road - nothing normal there.
When you take a piss, where are you taking it?
Out of one's bladder into the toilet / urinal / catheter / bed / tree etc.

Ok. That one was too easy...too...?logical? I guess. :p

No more juice can be wrung from the lemon.
Why do we label underwear as a pair?
two holes. used to be two legs. like a pair of trousers or a pair of tights (use babelfish if you need translation). Didn't always used to be joined together.

If a book about failures doesn't sell, is it a success?
If it were a book entitled "Failure" sold wrapped, no preview possible.... maybe.

Just keep feeling around and soon you'll forget everything else.:blush:
