Wow I can see why people are clearing out. I approve of the stage lights though, we have used those when playing parties.
Bad DRONEBAND is bad.
Finch! I just heard word on the hipster underground is belties are taking the place of fixies!! Thoughts?

That's the stupidest shit I've seen in a couple days.
I haven't ridden a belt, but i'm skeptical about how a belt would feel on skids or if the teeth would slip. Folding bikes are way hot too, just need one that has joints that would hold up to fixed gear abuse.
I'm just waiting for Penny Farthings to come back.
I've seen quite a bit of those bikes in the past month.
There's at least one guy in Denver who rides one. Well, there was last year, haven't seen him this year.Quote:

It's still probably gonna hold up longer than the joints called your knees and ankles if you put something like that through enough miles for it to be an issue.
I think these are hipsters.
Yep, those are definite hipsters.
ring ring... the death of the hipster... hurray.... i wonder what the next new fad will be....
I work with quite a few hipsters. The "loafers with no socks" cracked me up, it's so true.
What's wrong with wearing loafers with no socks in the summer? More than just hipsters do it. It's been a European thing for generations.
Sweaty feet stink, and socks wick away moisture from your feet. If it's too hot for socks, it too hot for shoes. At least that's how I look at it.
Good shoes wick away sweat themselves. Invest in better shoes imo.
Why are you wearing loafers to start with?
The oils and salt that skin secretes can be washed out of socks a lot easier than they can from shoes, or so I would imagine.
I've never worn loafers, though, so maybe that's not the case.
I can't always wear Chucks. Which, this post reminds me, I have a pair of leather Chucks I've only worn twice. Time to step out.Quote:

No I didn't. I just know for quality you will pay more. You really think spending $600 on shoes that last 15 years is dumb? It's about $50 a year. The same as getting shittier shoes.
Except the same could be said for $100 shoes. Did you used to buy your shoes at Payless?
When I was in grammar school. They always got rubbed raw.
My current shoes were $60 and have gone on for 3 years. They're getting near the end though.
Your mom gets rubbed raw.Quote:

Crocs are plastic. Leather comes in different degrees and must be cared for. I have cedar shoe trees in mine right now to retain the shape and absorb any odors that linger after I wear them without socks. I also clean and polish them after every three of four uses.
There's some well-known cook on a tv show who swears by Prada loafers for work. Just sayin'.
Well, he can probably pay for them if he's on a TV show.
The only really expensive article of clothing I own is my motorcycle jacket, which is $650 new, but I found for just over $200 when an online vendor was closing out their inventory.
I dunno. I don't make boatloads of cash but I'll save for two weeks to own a pair of decent shoes only because the investment will help alleviate me of multiple purchases for years. Well, except for visits to the cobbler when my soles run thin. But that's just me, I guess.
They look good with his Croakies.Quote:

Nothing if you're a herbert.
Gotta look good on the white man's boat. Whether you're cleaning it or sailing it.
I don't really understand what makes a hipster and why people don't like them. Does that make me a hipster? Honestly, reading through this thread it just sounds like descriptions of young people in San Francisco.

The two complaining are too "punk rock" to wear nice shoes. I still wear my tight band tees and skinny Levis but sometimes that shit ain't appropriate.
Oh, razor, do you think those tight band tees and skinny levis make you punk rock?
Me not giving a fuck what you think and doing my own thing makes me punk rock.
Razor's about as rock n roll as an suv.
no, that just makes you a possible assholeQuote:

Maybe he prefers those to the non-generic, penis-having white girls.

Lol art.
So I really don't get it, she rubbed soup on her vagina and people watched?
Is that really what just happened?
Hipsters are basically just young people, MarkRyan, but really lame young people. Over/undereducated content young white people with nothing to rebel against trying to rebel against shit their pathetically wimpy lives can handle: useless philosophical bullshit.
Also: Pissing on a canvas.Quote:

I don't know how either of you handled the situation, but I always make a scene. And not the loud, arrestable type either. The calm but devastating insults always do the trick. I suggest you guys do it only because you'll save the person after you from the same bullshit. Think of it as a public service.
He calmly, very devastatingly, slips her one of these.

I use Kiwi (I think) shoe polish and a shoe brush to make them shine. You can google ways of maintaining your shoes but I just do it like this:
1.) Clean shoe leather of all dust with a dry cloth
2.) Apply shoe polish evenly on the surface
3.) use brush in back and forth swings to make the polish shine.
optional: You can add another layer of polish or a some water to the first layer for some serious shine.
Remember to let it dry. I also use cedar shoe trees (about $20) to keep the shape of the shoe and absorb moisture.
I know I've posted this before. TNL never pays attention.
