Shoe people are so weird.

That's not exactly a complaint, mind, I'm generally a fan of weird.

But the shoe fetishists are definitely a whole 'nother breed.

LoL

If you don't plan on touching real grass this summer...you can swipe your fingers across this virtual grass instead.

I plan to be touching real grass this coming Saturday. I run an Evaluation Practice at 12pm, then participate in a Returning Player Practice at 2pm.

I played some catch with my wife today. My arm was not strong. It was after playing pickleball and shooting some hoops for over an hour though, so it makes sense that my arm was fatigued. Still, I know I need to get some regular throwing in starting today until the season gets rolling.

I am looking forward to taking some batting practice. That feeling of hitting the ball with the sweet spot of the bat...it is awesome!!!

Again, notice that it says "trails". This is because this is a shoe designed for outdoor adventures, including walking and running trails.

Now, who else is surprised that the jOak known as Fat Lily does not know what Outdoor Shoes designed for Trails are?


If Fat @Lily was not such a inactive waste of a human, she would know that these shoes are not "old man" shoes, but shoes built for adventure!!!

Hahahahahaha!!!!!

Hey @The Prowler just an aside... the software that's used to design many of these running shoes you buy and wear is MODO produced by a company called The Foundry. A good chunk of the shoes you buy are designed on either MODO, Adobe Substance Designer and/or SolidWorks.



Recently, I went out and bought the entire suite, which includes Modo.

Thought I'd do it cuz it was my last chance ta git my hands of permanent/perpetual software since its makers are switching to subscriber only, eh?

Anyways, when I fire up the software sometime, I'll try ta mimic what these shoe companies do ta see I can produce a shoe for you.

....Wish me luck, eh?

Fat @Lily has not shown herself in Meltdown since I made this thread.

I know it might be hard for some of you to believe, but this kind of thing really frustrates that bovine.

She just hates being wrong.

She.

Hates.

Her.

Not pissed off.

I find retards mildly annoying, especially when they are trying too hard to buddy-up to me.

So "annoyed" would be more accurate.

Fuck off, Senile @Joe, you dumb cunt.


I felt bad for my original post only because I pity the bald

In which case I'll add...

You sure overpaid for yer overpriced sneakers @The Prowler.

Each of those pairs probably cost $5 to produce in some 3rd world sweat shop. What you paid $200+ a pair for is 90% advertising, boosting company share prices.

I sincerely hope you own shares in those sneaker companies Prowler. At least get something back fer all the synthetic junk ya paid for.

I probably have 40-50 pairs of shoes.

I am sure a few of those could be considered "old man" shoes.

But the next pair that Fat @Lily thought were old man shoes.....

Y'know @The Prowler - fer all the money ya spent on yer overpriced synthetic shoes - you coulda bought a bag of silver AND an ounce of gold, eh?

That's what I did recently.

I mean...jes think - in ten years yer overpriced sneakers'll be ready fer the Sally Ann/Salvation army, eh? And they'll be sellin' fer $5 each - about how much Nike, Adidas, whateveh - spent ta make ta make 'em..

Meanwhile in 10, my gold'll probably be worth $10,000 per ounce. The Silver will probably appreciate as much.

So feel the BURN, dumb Prowler - what you coulda had...

1-oz-Gold-Maple-Leaf-Coin-(2023)_REV.png


...but instead, you'll git this in 10 years:

old-torn-sneakers-in-dirty-grass-2F60WET.jpg



...Stinky pairs of abandoned Old Running shoes that you paid at least $200 each for.

You overpaid, man.

whadda waste!

Such a Bad Invesment....dumb Prowler!

Remember, think Smart, not Dumb, Dumb Prowler!

The point in his life when @The Prowler slowly realizes he's paid way too much for his overpriced running shoes:

I shudder to think what his debt load must be. How are the bankruptcy laws in Canada?

For those types the government offers relief by funding organizations such as 'Sneakers Anonymous'.
