Ladies: Would You Wear These Shoes?

Posted March 7, 2010, 8:36 p.m.

I was at Target today picking up a number of random things, and Melissa dragged me to the shoe aisle where I noticed . . . this.

I’ve noticed that many of my female friends have been complaining lately that the clothing styles are really bad this year, and I’m starting to understand what they mean. I cannot think of any reason whatsoever that any sentient human being would buy a pair of shoes like this.

It seems like some sort of jewel-encrusted starfish carcass, which I doubt is a flattering look. So what’s the verdict, lady readers? Would you wear these shoes?

Quotes

If anybody ever says you’re ‘smart as a whip,’ remember this: whips are inanimate objects that do not possess any intelligence whatsoever.

Scott Bradford

But it is also true that in the midst of darkness something new always springs to life and sooner or later produces fruit. On razed land life breaks through, stubbornly yet invincibly.

Francis (Pope)

He who will not use the thoughts of other men’s brains proves that he has no brains of his own!

Charles Spurgeon

The line between failure and success is so fine that we scarcely know when we pass it—so fine that we are often on the line and do not know it.

Better a thousand times err on the side of over-readiness to fight, than to err on the side of tame submission to injury, or cold-blooded indifference to the misery of the oppressed.

Teddy Roosevelt

Yogi Berra

Jim Elliot

Knowledge can last, principles can last, habits can last; but feelings come and go.

C. S. Lewis

The Parthenon was not built as a ruin.

Salvador Dali

This triangle of truisms, of father, mother[,] and child, cannot be destroyed; it can only destroy those civilizations which disregard it.

G. K. Chesterton

There is no such thing as a collective brain. There is no such thing as a collective thought. An agreement reached by a group of men is only a compromise or an average drawn upon many individual thoughts.

Ayn Rand

Civilization is the result of a long social process which takes place in the same spot, and is handed down from one generation to another, each one profiting by the experience of the last.

Alexis de Tocqueville

It’s disingenuous to call something a ‘right’ if you simultaneously demand that people take advantage of their ‘right’ whether they want to or not. That’s not a right, it’s a command. Republics have rights; tyrants have commands.

John Wesley

I would rather belong to a poor nation that was free than to a rich nation that had ceased to be in love with liberty.
