maybe she was running away from werewolf woman

Archived comment by Mike:
Apparently there's a market for walked-in women's shoes.

Archived comment by Barefoot Contessa:
Given the absurdity of some women's shoes, being barefoot is not a comparative handicap, even if the other person has a one-mile lead. :)

"Ah, so this athlete's foot is why she saw things that way!"

If you had a runny nose during a stream of consciousness, would that mean your brain was leaking?

Archived comment by jcharles:
Kevin, "runny nose" and "stream of consciousness" were a little too close for comfort there. NOT a pleasant mental image.

Archived comment by Kevin Fox:
I think the punchline goes, "You've got her shoes and a mile head-start."

Nyah-nyah, got yer shoes! (Running shoes, runny nose, got yer nose. Damn stream of consciousness.)

I just had to post this link.

actually, running on pavement isn't so bad if you don't clip your toes on the road.... you just have to be careful of stones... but i agree - get in a quality county park or something, and barefoot running is the way to go.

Archived comment by Passerby:
the hell are you talking about its awesome running in bare feet, so long as its on grass or some relatively good survace, not say umm, a gravel road or something

Archived comment by MizTam:
Mike...very profound...however, I think most of the "Final Girls" lose out to the "bad guy" because of all of their ear piercing shrieks and looking back to see what is happening that slows them down. Plus, during my Berkeley days most of the women I knew wore Birkenstocks, which is one step up from the comfort of barefeet and just as difficult to run in.

Archived comment by Mike:
But what if they're pumps? She'd close that mile pretty quickly, while I totter about and whine about blisters. No wonder women in horror movies always fall.

Archived comment by Somnambulist:
triticale- That's cruel... I like it!

I have always wondered about this obsession of people walking around in other peoples' shoes... unless it's winter. But then it'd be boots, not shoes... wouldn't it? I love my winter boots.

Archived comment by Paul:
I cried because I had no shoes. Then I met a man who had no class.

Yes, Jon! An In Passing Search Engine for us lazy people! I've been trying to find one thread topic for about a month now! And I am way too proud and self-conscious (I think that's the term I mean) to ask for anybody's help! Won't do it, takes too much work!

Archived comment by Jon:
Sorry EGM, while I have often been called "freaky", I was never that big of a fan. I watched the first episode and thought it was pretty good; can't remember if I caught the second episode.
I discussed this on another thread some time ago. This is yet another time I wish for an "In Passing Search Engine", for text-searching comment archives. (I know there's a way to do it with some effort, because people like umrguy have found relevant comment threads before. Don't like effort, though.)

Archived comment by Evil Gingerbread Man:
So, Jon is also a Freaker. Have you been steered toward Freaky Research or Freakopedia yet? We're always looking for new compatriots around there. FR is at http://freakyresearch.no-ip.com:8080/site2/ and you can read about Red's journies around the states and Freakopedia is at www.freakopedia.com where there is a new story weekly, including his halloween investigation where he may have run into a real deamon.

then the shoes walk down to club fungi and pick up some smuts

Archived comment by fair_n_hite_451:
Well, they're brown leather now, but they didn't start out that way - it used to be just a little leather toe patch, but the leather mutated and took over the whole shoe.

Archived comment by tom:
are the shoes brown?

Archived comment by Passerby:
This is how I originally heard that phrase from my friend:
Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Archived comment by Jon:
If the shoes walked by themselves, you could just catch a ride.

Found a discarded single glove in the parking lot yesterday. Did it crawl there itself? Maybe there's a whole class of self-propelled clothing... too bad "Freakylinks" got cancelled, that would be a good storyline for it.

So I stole his shoes - he was going to need them.

This is a Jack Handy original... that has been 'feminized' and slightly altered.

Archived comment by Apple:
If the shoes walked by themselves then you wouldn't have any worries, cause that mile walk would be easier!

****spread*****, not spred. I can't type.

Archived comment by Megan:
But what if her feet sweat? What then? Wear damp and smelly tennis shoes just to see something in a different perspective? Hah!! I refuse!

That's *so* the way to spred warts....

Archived comment by don:
I think that it's just easier to tie their shoe's laces together and give them a little push.

You don't have to walk a mile that way.

But what if her shoes can walk by themselves?

Archived comment by Fuzzympb:
Its also more ironic to jump up and down on their toes with their own shoes.
