On shoes and fourgies

2006-04-18 - 4:10 p.m.

Somehow I missed the shoe gene.

They must have been passing that one out the same day as the fashion sense and grace. And probably the think-before-you-speak filter. I think I stayed in bed that day.

But, as my mainstays of summer shoes have gone to that great Payless in the sky, I had to break down and do something drastic. Last night I went to DSW.

For those who don't know it, it's a massive, department-store-sized shoestore. Those who love shoes wander around with wide eyes, overcome by the array, with net bags over their shoulders, their old shoes in hand and a slight string of drool hanging from the corners of their lips.

Those of us who have rather more contentious relationships with shoeshopping do well here, too. There's at least enough of a selection that we'll likely only need one stop to find what we need.

So in a quick and mostly painless burst last night I picked up two pair of shoes nice enough to wear with skirts or pants to get me through the summer. Hell, they were cheap enough I wouldn't even be horribly offended if they were to die before next year. Except that would mean that pointed-toe platform shoes would be in and that would be bad.

In other news, it was determined last night that "fourgy" (hello, googlers) is the word of the day today. A friend was drilled at work yesterday about the minimum number of people required to constitute an orgy. And in the horrifying discussion that ensued, the word "fourgy" was uttered, inspiring visual images of his coworker that will haunt him eternally. These images may well have ruined enjoyment all group-sex porn for his future.

I was sworn to use the word at least twice today and I think you should all make the same promise. You know, as long as you're of legal age and everything...'cause I don't want to be responsible for corrupting minors I don't personally know. That's what your own relatives are for...

Pretend it's 10th grade. Leave me a note.
