Halfbakery: Game
Whose Shoe?   (+2)  [vote for, against]
Shoe-ology.

Everyone who wants to play sends in a picture of their shoe to Jutta.

Jutta cunningly replaces the halfbakery logo with a picture of one of the shoes, at scarce and random intervals, and we all have one week to guess "Who's Shoe?"

I bet you can tell a lot about a person from their shoes.

(?) Who's Shoe? http://moniplex.com.../pix/pe5d0bacb0.jpg
Or more to the point, whose sock? (Long time readers should know the answer.) (For the others, no, it's not mine.) [DrCurry, Oct 04 2004, last modified Oct 05 2004]

how about put up their ugly mug shot and then guess who it is. Would make the site a little more personal

I think most people prefer not to, although you should check ideas like "halfbakers ball". I think I'd prefer to see waug's shoe, or po's face, but if UnaBubba shows me his ass one more time I swear I'll apply for a restraining order.

how about a name association game...

jutta - picture of a VW jetta
letsbuildafort - a snow fort
skinflaps - an old guy
squeak - a mouse
po - a toilet? <G> or a police officer? (better?) :)
angry_scientist - a man in a lab coat.
UnaBubba - pic of David Kaczynski?
v0rtexx - a tornado
Fishrat - Do I have to even say?
FarmerJohn - FarmHouse, or a clock perhaps?
etc..

If [po] doesn't shout "list alert" before she notices what you've called her, she will afterwards!

Since the departure of lewisgirl, not many bakers are known for their footwear, but I would guess:

UnaBubba: thongs/flip-flops
po: ruby slippers
Fishrat: fins
angry_scientist: falling-apart old sneakers
skinflaps: Disco Boots
sloopjohnb37: very old deck shoes
Rods Tiger: Hush Puppies
Guy Fox: walking boots
mr thingy: clown shoes
FarmerJohn: gumboots/wellies
jutta: some very sensible lace-ups

kropotkin - What was your nic before lewisgirl (she was part and parcel of the 'bakery) quite unfortunately split?
Less, er, more, er, less, er more is less importantly... what shoes do I wear?
-- thumbwax, Dec 19 2003


Its only a matter of time before somebody posts "whose pants?" now isnt' it? And I don't mean US trousers, I mean UK underpants.
-- dobtabulous, Dec 19 2003


Great, now you have me taking off my underpants for pictures.
-- Letsbuildafort, Dec 19 2003


The concept of a bunch of used shoes posted on the HB does not sound all that appealing to me. Dr. Sholl's would approve perhaps.
-- k_sra, Dec 19 2003


On the basis of the evidence, I would have to agree with you.

How about with Socks?
-- Letsbuildafort, Dec 19 2003


.....struggling to get image of [UnaBubba] in a thong out of my head.....
-- normzone, Dec 19 2003

-- po, Dec 19 2003


Thing us the Thong thong. The thong that's thung, "Thong thong thong thong."
-- grip, Dec 20 2003


//Deck shoes (4 pairs), brogues (4), boots (6), cycling shoes (2), trainers (3)//

Who'd have thought UB would turn out to be the Emelda Marcos of the halfbakery? In so many ways.
