I put a 1000 miles on a single pair of your 9 oz shoes. I didn't replace them at 300 or 500 miles. I laughed at such arbitrary limits as I ran past, a man in comfortable shoes. Perhaps you didn't mean to make such a lasting product. Perhaps you didn't think I might adjust my stride to extend the life of your product. But you did, and I did. I might even wear them another hundred miles.

Yeah but you wore shoes. Didn't you hear? Shoes are so last decade.

And anyway what's this got to do with the role of government and whether conservatives or liberals (depending on your point of view) are stupid evil maniacal Satan worshipers hell bent on destroying America?

Yeah, but the other side are worse and they started it.

Nice. I've a pair almost to 1100. Each mile just sticks it to the Shoe Man.

Of course I hear this barefoot thing is even better and I bet its more so with a good Pinot Noir or small batch bourbon but not a merlot.

Politics comes from the root words of poly = many and tic = blood ~~cusking organizm~~. sucking organisms.

The snobitude regarding Merlot is unfair. It's a fantastic grape, it's just attempted by everyone. The more people try to make something the more shitty attempts there are. That's why there are so many bad merlots....the solid ones are amazing.

(yeah I got the joke, and that movie is fucking hilarious)

what do blood cusking organizms really do? i mean do they cusk frequently or is it more of a once-a-week type of thing?

You know whats really sad - that wasn't even a drunk post.

I can not type worth a crap.

To answer the question, frequently would be my guess but its not my field of study.
