Shoe Snakes
Shoe lace replacements that resemble and function like snakes. | |
This strange idea was inspired by the consistent reaction of people to untied shoelaces. Sometimes the expression is a simple caution, but often enough it approaches serious alarm: "Your shoelaces are untied!" The reaction might as well be: Snakes!
And so it will be with Shoe Snakes. These shoelaces
resemble long narrow snakes. They could possibly be powered or controlled by some kind of foot mechanism, like an air pump. The small pump will make it possible to direct the snakes jaws to others' nearby shoelaces, pulling them untied.

If the shoe activated pump pushed life into these snakes, they would surge and writhe with every step. In fact, with a pack-mounted air compressor I see no reason your entire body could not be festooned with hissing pneumatic snakes. Sort of like Doc Octopus, but these little snakes would fight and bite and generally not get much done for good or evil. |
