My right knee (the gas pedal leg) hurts a lot less when I drive in high heels, esp slight plats with narrower heels.

Bravo, Laurie! Now if you'd just turn your kind of level-headed logic towards the should the US invade Iraq? thread, maybe Dr. Shoe would find something else to rant and rave about...

Why not just ask the girl/lady in question if you can take the picture? The worst she can do is say "Hell NO! What are you some kind of Pervert?" at the top of her voice.

When I was in High School, there was a (natural) blonde girl I'd never seen before that I was staring at until I bumped into a lunch table and nearly dumped the food tray. Some friends were at the table, and Knew the girl--after they picked themselbes off the floor ( :rofl: ), they said that it was a common reaction--they'd seen it several times. I was mainly staring at her face, but as I recall, she was wearing white go-go boots, ~2-1/2" heels.

kazaa, bearshare, or gnutella (http file sharing programs, more or less freely available) and type in the program of your choice, be it Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, 3D Studio Max, or whatever, and see what comes up. It took about 3 days, off and on, to download 3D 4.0 and it's update to 4.2, about the same with Photoshop 6, with my 56K modem about 18 months ago. I realize that the US Govt, w/cooperation of several European countries, put several of the cracking groups out of business a year or so ago, which is why I said that Trolldeg must know some good, and well-hidden, crackers, because a working cracked version of 3D 5.0 hadn't been released, to my knowledge, at the time of the raids.

A cracker is someone, or group of someones, who is very good at programming, and more specifically reverse engineering the various copy protection coding schemes built into most commercially sold programs today. They typically do it for fun, thrills, and one-upping either each other, or the greedy capitalistic bastards that sell their programs at astronomical prices, simply because they CAN!!! They usually operate very difficult to access ftp sites to share their wares across the net with like-minded souls. Ocasionally, one or more of them gets generous and posts a cracked program, usually as a .zip, .rar, or in the case of MACs, .sit file on the more easily accessible gnutella-based file-sharing sites for a limited time each day. Those fortunate few who benefit from such bounty, often allow their own computer to be used as a gnutella-based upload site while browsing the net, and that way they get spread around, much to the irritation of those selfsame greedy corporate b*****ds.

Nah. He just knows some good (and well-hidden) crackers.

An aproximate rendition, jerkily drawn in Illustrator (by me from memory), for Blackboard of My Heart is (~key of C):

15:23:45] Me: by proving that you're an ignorant narrow minded little squit?

[15:24:02] NarrowMinded: a squit?

Squit, also meaning weakfish, which is a marine food and game fish found in North American Atlantic waters. I used it in a derogatory fashion. I was almost certain it wouldn't be in his vocabulary, so I'm fairly safe on that one. I was tempted to define it to him as a drop of semen, just so he could understand what I thought of him, but decided against that plan.

My first thought was "squit" = "Coney Island Whitefish", e.g. a used prophelactic!

I look at it this way:

Girls don't (in general) care for anal intercourse, so why should it be inferred that a guy wearing girls' clothes (or boots) likes or wants it??

On the subject of "lyrical allegories" which the coloring book song reminds me of....My dad used to sing this to his own guitar accompaniment (originally recorded by Hank Thompson around 1951--b4 I was born!). Originally I just liked the melody, but my divorce has brought some new meaning to the words. When I was young and went to school They taught me how to write To take the chalk and make a mark And hope it turns out right Well that's the way it is with love And what you did to me I wrote it so you'd know That I was yours eternally (Chorus) But my tears have washed I love you From the blackboard of my heart It's too late to clean the slate And make another start I'm satisfied the way things are Although we're far apart My tears have washed I love you from The blackboard of my heart If you'd been true the way you should And not have gone astray These tears would not have fallen down And washed the words away No need to talk, 'cause if the chalk Should write those words again It will be for someone else Not things that might have been

Could that be why most fashion supermodels ar 5'10" or taller??

i wish that the heels boots from the 1970s contiue to the present time...i was a little boy back then...

i am sure the heeled boots for men will spread out to regular stores all over the world. I wanna say a important thing....BOOTS RULES!!!

Give it time--"what goes around comes around" was never more true than in fashion.

Besides, if religious predictions that the final days will be like unto the days of Noah, which were similar to the conditions of Sodom and Gomorah (e.g. San Francisco!), mainstream feminine fashion for men may be "just around the corner".

Chemin de Fer

(sorry, couldn't resist, referring to a briefly popular brand of teenager's jeans circa 1977 that were tight-fitting, had a "saddleback" seat which, er, emphasized the derriere, shall we say, and an inward-slanting sailor button front panel that had similar effects for the frontal areas. Gawd I wish I'd bought a pair back then, so I could duplicate the style now--I can't even locate any pictures of them!)

That's clearly unrelated to "Railway", so I didn't, really, deviate from the stated objective of this thread!!

When you pay more attention to the footwear of the women in action movies than their faces or figures (or acting ability!).

I have a pair very similar to the second ones, with the chunkier heel--WalMart specials, 19.99 last year, and the 2nd most comfortable boots I've ever owned, even though they are size 11 (and definitely tight) when I'm normally more of a 12 or even 12-1/2. Mine aren't quite as shiny though.

I'm sure there's a "tongues hanging out" joke in here somewhere, but it's late

and these are on my wish list just now.....

Wouldn't mind the lassie they're attached to!

At least there is some standardization in shoe sizing--rarely does one mfr stray more than a half size from the norm. Be thankful the situation isn't the same as Women's Dress and Pant sizes--they're all over the map, trying to cater to the fickle (and often blatently false) images that many women too often have of themselves. Marketing is the name of the game--if a size 20 woman can be made to think that she is actually a size 14, then she doesn't think she's fat, feels better about herself, keeps on eating, and expresses her gratitude to the mfr or designer that made her so thin by buying more of their line of dresses/jeans/etc. :drinking:

A custom collection of hard driving rhythm rock and roll hits spanning 40 years, intermixed with selections of Vivaldi (mostly wind instrument concertos) because the energy is similar, that I use to keep awake on long drives. I'm especially fond of Joan Jett and the Blackhearts.

I like what Eddie Izzard said about himself--that he was a "male lesbian". Although I am QUITE straight, as a man, I have often felt that if I had been born a woman and been presented with the choice of men that I grew up with, not to mention those I had to work with at the Nevada (nuclear) Test Site, that I would have either chosen celibacy, or turned to other women. Just a thought

...And then of course there's the classic definitions of B.S., M.S., & PhD.: B.S. should require no explanation; M.S. is "More of the Same"; PhD is "Piled higher and Deeper"....

Make up is to difficult and complicated to put on and get it "right." It's a real art and a usually turns out bad if you aren't proficient. Besides, its too difficult to remove. It takes about three days before all traces are gone.

If you put it on correctly, with foundation as a base, it's not difficult to remove with, for example, an Aveeno oatmeal bar, and it sure doesn't last 3 days! Not complicated or difficult to put on--just time-consuming; and you need to set aside some time to see what works, and what doesn't--in other words to exercise your creative and artistic talents--with no thought about going out until you have perfected your technique to produce repeatable results. I'm not talking from experience, much, from so-called over-the-counter women's makeup, but rather from a stage makeup class I signed up for in my first year back in college, ostensibly for the purpose of giving me some idea how to manipulate shadows and highlights of faces, digitally, using some program like Photoshop or Strata (cheap-ass imitation of 3dStudio Max). But the techniques I learned are essentially the same for over-the-counter cosmetics as well. I highly recommend such a class to anyone, male or female, as you learn alot (I learned to really appreciate the effort that women take to look good--for hair and makeup, 2 hours is not unheard-of every day of their lives), it was alot of fun, and I was able to learn how to "let my hair down" again.

In a word,

YES!!
