A Totally stupid pointless thread

Ever see sneakers hanging from a telephone wire? I see them all the time and wonder how they get up there. Rumor has it that it's a sign that it's a drug area.

Yes I have. I always just assumed it was some cruel joke. Like kids used to do. steal your shoes tie the laces together and throw them over a telephone wire. and while I have never actually witnessed kids DOING this I have heard it's one of the mean things they like to do.

but I have also heard about the area marking thing. it's like claiming their territory or something.

very weird either way. like how did that come to be? "HEY this is my turf so I'm gonna throw a pair of my shoes up there and then everyone will know"

odd

AND

why does everything look better in the dressing room mirror than in your own mirror when you get home and try on the same outfit?

I think the mirrors in dressing rooms are magic!!

A solution for the missing Hannah socks. Get a net bag like this to wash her socks in. Scroll down a little on the site to see what I'm referring to. I have one I wash my bras in. Not that the washer eats my bras, LOL.

I don't see shoes very often but I always see broken furniture by the side of highways and interstates and wonder:
(1)how far away did it start its journey?
(2)what happened to make it jump out right there, as opposed to further down the road?
(3)how far was it from its original destination?

I can just imagine some redneck hauling something in the back of his truck and it falling out right before he got home with his prize: "Look honey! I drove clear to the state line just to get you this really nice....ummmm.....where'd it go?"

Around here it's mattresses. Uhmmm... dude ... did you get all the way home before you realized something was missing?

did you NOT notice it flew out of the back or notice that difference in the trucks performance.

ever find money that you don't remember having? LOL that is a nice surprise but sometimes drives me crazy that I can't remember where it came from hahaha

I heard somewhere something about them getting in behind the washer bucket (don't know what that is actually called). don't know how true that is but maybe if my washer ever dies I will crack it open and check

I can assure you that the socks are not behind the Washer "bucket'. I recently had a mouse die somewhere inside my washer. I tore the wash apart and removed the "bucket" and did not find a single sock or a mouse either. Where ever that place is where the mouse found to hide before dieing probably has a bunch of socks too.

I usually buy several dozen of the same black socks so when I lose one it isn't obvious until one day the sock drawer is empty. I used to buy the ones with the colored thread in the toe so you could match them. I just ended up with a bunch of mismatch socks with different colored toes.

Why does everything look better on the manequin or model in the magazine than it does on you when you try it on or buy it?

I mean a hat I could understand. it could have blown out the window. but a shoe? and it's actually a very common sight. How does this happen so often?

I figure as long as there is not a leg attached to the shoe, it's okay

Around here it's a sign the seniors are getting ready to graduate. Happens pretty much every May . . . . first they throw the caps, then the shoes
