Is Frothy Payin’ For The Lovin’?

And in honor of Santorum, the Annual Xmas Beefstick just arrived from the Ancestral Home.

Rod Blagojevich is gonna be looking for cellmate, soon. Too bad what this guy did is probably not illegal, though.

@nojo: I hate to admit it, but I love a good beefstick.

What?

@Tommmcatt Be Fat, And That Be That: It also came with cheese.

No, really.

Stop that.

@nojo: Super stinquey cheese?

@SanFranLefty: Brick of Tillamook.

And, to close out the family tradition, socks. To wear with my Birks.

McLoving?

@nojo: Aaaaaaaaugh!

Have you learned nothing, padawan?

No matter what one does, once you get Santorum on you then you can’t wash it away.

@Tommmcatt Be Fat, And That Be That: I’ve learned not to let foot fascists harsh my mellow.

@nojo: Benedick, talk to your protogay. I simply don’t know what to do with him. This needs a Daddy’s touch.

@Tommmcatt Be Fat, And That Be That: Nojo isn’t going to make it that easy for you. The Stinque Department of Ladybits and Fashionistas have given up on him and the fucking socks with Birks. Luckily it’s usually so warm in Sandy Eggo he doesn’t have an excuse to wear them together.

@Tommmcatt Be Fat, And That Be That: I sometimes joke with Silent Creative Partner that when I’m rich, I’m getting a stylist.

@SanFranLefty: Yes, we are talking only days when it’s too chilly to reveal my toes. I do try to limit my indiscretion. But only under protest.

Context: Back in Orygun, I also had boots and low-top Converse, because there’s chilly, and then there’s fucking wet and fucking cold. But here in Sandy Eggo, where 40 degrees is a record low, it’s Birks Birks Birks.

@Tommmcatt Be Fat, And That Be That: Like he listens to me. I don’t even know what Birks are. I seriously don’t think I’ve ever laid eyes on a pair. And even I know not to wear them with socks.

@Benedick: The horror.

Next person to visit nojo, steal his Birks? You might need a stick or a plastic bag.

@JNOV has a right to be hostile (it’s a book, okay?): Good luck. I have a backup pair. For when the first pair is getting re-soled.

@nojo: Are there other things we should know about you? Pipe smoking? Sweater vests? Secretly from Oregon … oh. Never mind.

@blogenfreude: O dear God. They make plimsoles look cool. I’m hoping against hope that they’re not being worn with cargo shorts.

@nojo: Stay strong. I’m wear Birk clogs with socks right now. Not as Oregonian as sandals, but I’m a beginner.

@Mistress Cynica: As a Lady you must know that if you relax your standards on footwear you end up living in sin with a communist.

God meant footwear to hurt (Genesis 4:14.). Sensible shoes are the work of the devil.

@Mistress Cynica: Clogs are not offensive in my book – it’s seeing the socks poke out from under the sandals that gets to me.

@Benedick: I find Crocs more offensive than Birks with socks. Crocs are an abomination if worn anywhere except the garden.

@Benedick: I thought that sensible shoes were the work of the lesbians.

@SanFranLefty: I think I mentioned earlier the latest UWS scourge – sixtyish men w/ baldspots, ponytails, and … (shudder) Chuck Taylors. Dude, you’re in your sixties – get something with some support!
