Top Five...

...Worst Footwear Choices as Dictated by Emily at some point Over the Past 5+ Years:

CINCO



Man, these were everywhere my freshman year in Alabama. I'd never seen them before that. I remember being mildly intrigued by them, but could never really understand if they'd actually stay on your feet. They gave off a "my bangs are almost in my eyes - the bottom of my cargo pants are torn a bit - this hooded sweatshirt is too tight to wear over my polo" vibe.

QUATRO



My parents became irrationally supportive of these... which resulted in a "washing the boat" and "I don't give a fuck what you think" explanation. I actually don't mind them as lawn care foot wear

TRES



Classic. Too many straps negates any sort of convenience you get in wearing sandals. Though, the idea of owning a pair of high quality handmade leather sandals is attractive.

DOS



Absolutely not. There's no aesthetic or functional reason to wear these.

UNO



There's too much to say about this phenomenon, which ironically stems out of the burgeoning philosophy that walking and running barefoot is actually better for you. (Who would have thought?) So what do people do? They design a shoe to address this theory!?!?

An unlikely surge of violence occurred last week off the coast of the French Broad River. Plagued by unrealistic fantasies of theft, abduction, and violence, Asheville residents invoked the 2nd Amendment and formed somewhat of a militia. Though not much of a site to some, the olive drab wreaks of spirit and patriotism.

Hours of fighting was interspersed with hunting squirrel, drinking beer, smoking cigars, and grilling things, but the raggedy militia wore down Somali pirates hell bent on capturing something to negotiate a ransom. No casualties were recorded on our side. One might even dub the conflict more of a "boys night" than an engagement with the enemy, who can be seen here beckoning a fight and brandishing a RPG.

"For his part, Mr. Robertson said that he 'absolutely' supported the ballot measures, though he would not campaign for them. 'I’m not a crusader,' he said."

From Pat Robertson Backs Legalizing Marijuana.

I'm also glad to hear that a major fundamental Christian figure is embracing non-crusaderdom.
