terrya said I should post this in the Lounge...
Edited on Thu Nov-10-05 04:17 PM by Richardo
I got a new shoehorn the other day. Plastic. They're cheaper and almost as durable as the stamped metal ones.

Don't get as cold in the wintertime, either.

6. He wants a shoehorn, the kind with teeth
Edited on Thu Nov-10-05 04:20 PM by WeRQ4U
People should get beat up for stating their beliefs
He wants a shoehorn, the kind with teeth
Because he knows there's no such thing

- THey Might Be Giants

10. Richardo...I'm sorry that Lounge posts can't make it to the Greatest Page
Because...by God, this is great.

I mean, when one trades that tacky metal shoehorn for plastic, this is HUGH!!

16. Stunner.
Where did you get it? I have been searching for decades, I kid you not. And don't tell me a shoe store either. No way. And if it's not too personal, how much did you pay?

Does it look like this?



See, you can do this with those long ones:



Now, here is your classic shoehorn:



This looks like it has a dandy bottle opener, too:

Congrats on your new shoehorn Richardo!!! :bounce:

24. Corn Chex? Don't they form a mortar-like substance in your back teeth?
That you have to scoop out with your index finger?

27. I got some new pants last night.
Made by Columbia Sportswear. They are made out of a kind of fabric that dries almost instantly if you get them wet. That can be handy if you're trout fishing.

30. I just bought a new $20 watch, a Armitron.
Great fitting watchband, fits just right.

Water resist to 165 feet, not bad for 20 bucks.

I really should be studying for a test in my Parasitology class tomorrow. Ah, the delights of Enterobius vermicularis (pinworms).
