Necessity may be the mother of invention, but a
pun seldom has healthy offspring. |

It started when my daughter asked me why the
Dutch made their shoes from wood, and asked
whether they'd be heavier than leather. I replied
that they could be made from light, Northern
hemisphere timber, rather than our sometimes-
heavier-than-water hardwoods. |
|
| |
The pun came afterwards, which is awfully
considerate of me, I think. |
|
| |
It also occurred to me I've seen plain clogs, but
never fancy, carved ones. |
|
| |
Erm, perhaps you could flog the idea to whoever Jeffrey Campbell is..linki |
|
| |
I just can't see myself in those. Probably too tall for
the mirror, if I was to wear them. |
|
| |
//Necessity may be the mother of invention, but a pun seldom has healthy offspring// - and anyway, the "finger stuck in a dyke" joke is pretty old |

How do you bend your ankles to slip them on? |
|
| |
They seem rather limited in their functionality. Just
a little though. They would be good for fixing the
broken shower head, and the above mentioned
causes. Oops, did I say "cause". As in Occupy Your
Boots Day? |
|

>How do you bend your ankles to slip them on? |
|
| |
They could be done with a clamshell split, or with a section of the back. But still they'd be tricky to walk in due to lack of ankle/toe articulation. |

Doc Martens. Train cute mustelids in first aid so they
can come to your rescue if you have a health issue in
the remote wilderness |
|
| |
Mine Partens. Apparently there's a Parten town/farm(?) in Texas... |
|
| |
Or even (shudders) Mime Martens. As for getting the pine martens to wear the 4 white gloves or getting them to do do the "umbrella in a high wind" bit, I'm not sure which would be trickier... |
|
| |
You know, this started out as a totally serious idea about
very uncofortable wooden boots, but it seems to be getting
derivatively silly... |
|
| |
I dunno. If I have a fort after The Armageddon I would
probably prefer to sure it - with the right sorts of people of
course. |
|
| |
>totally serious idea about very uncofortable wooden boots |
|
| |
Is that actually possible? I woodn't believe it. |
|
| |
I think there should be some kind of Halfbakery idea GPS so it could be quantified just how far off the idea the annos get, and possibly a fabulous trophy (colander sprayed with gold paint, with a bit of tinsel) for the worst/most talented offender... |
|
| |
I've always seen anno-thread diversion as sort of a
specialty of mine. Not an exclusive one, mind you, not by
any means... |
|
| |
I'll accept the award for "worst", with pride. |
|
| |
Is that "person who strays the least from nominal direction for a post" or person who strays the most? |
|
| |
Or is that what you think I think you think? |
