Great moments in intellectual absence

I have a pair of sparkly flats that do this as well in the rain. The bad thing is they're to pretty to throw out and I'll wear them every six months forgetting and then I fall.

Sometimes it's more about comfort than looks.

Lol. There is a facebook group called "I don't care how comfortable crocs are, you look like a *******". As of posting, it has one million, four hundred and ninety thousand, eight hundred and forty five members. I'm still unsure as to why looks have to be sacrificed in order to get comfort

1. I had this pocket knife that my dad had just helped me sharpen. I was eight or so. I was laying in bed looking at the blade, when I saw the cord to my stereo. I decided to see how sharp it was and gently carved into the plastic of the cord. Soon I heard a bang, and all the house went silent. This was at about 11:00 at night so everyone was asleep. I realized the whole breaker panel had tripped, or at least the entire basement. I folded my knife up and went to sleep.

In the morning I opened my knife to see two nearly complete circles cut out of the edge of my knife where the short hapened to jump between the wires. I kept the knife, but never let anyone see the blade again.

2. I wanted to see how smooth the exhaust pipes were on my dad's motorcycle. he had just gotten off of it, and I grabbed them right next to the motor....where they're really really hot for some reason...

I had to have my hand wrapped with burn gel for two weeks...in first grade.

3. Same reasoning, one year later, with the disc brakes on my dad's airplane, a Cessna 210. Same situation; we had just landed after flying home from Idaho. Same hand...same result.

4. I tried drifting in a work truck my dad gave me to drive for high school. One day I decided to show off for my little brother. Bad idea. I drifted too far to the right, was headed off the road...so I hit the brakes. When we landed, both tires blew on the driver's side, and my little brother (sans seat belt) was nearly in my lap. We got out okay.

It earned me (us) a two hour walk home in 90 degree weather, three hours of finding a spare, and a portable air compressor, filling up the front tire, replacing the rear tire, and explaining to my dad how I managed to get a 24 inch long gouge on the inner side wall of the back tire...after he immediately noticed there was a new tire on the truck that wasn't there earlier. He wasn't too mad since I paid for the tire myself, but my driving was very closely monitored after that....for quite a while.

As if fashion means anything, how many people wear dead animals, like Davy Crocket, because it "looks good" How about guys in their girlfriends skinny jeans.

Societies ability to determine what looks good is far overrated
