Name Calling



I have lovely red tennis shoes on today. They're lovely and they say "diesel" on them. I think all shoes should be titled after fossil fuels. Black ones could be called "coal"...clear ones "gas". But I won't really know about the others because I usually stick with red shoes. They're tarty, I know, but what the fuck do I care about what YOU think?

Sorry. Didn't mean to get snippy. It's just, I love my lovely red shoes so much, I get sensitive when you call them tarty. I mean, I can call them tarty because they're mine...but it's just crossing a line to have you say they are. Why would you want to judge the shoes of a person you've never even met? I could be the least tarty person you know. I mean, jebus, just give my innate purity a chance to shine through the tarty red shoes.

Oh god...so much pressure. Poor, poor shoes.

Better tarty than farty.

diesel ... is that really a fossil fuel? I mean crude oil is, but is a byproduct of a fossil fuel, a fossil fuel?

So, while wearing these red shoes, have you tried closing your eyes, clicking your rubbery heels together three times and repeating "There's no place like home." three times?
