Mine are a size fifteen. Does that count for anything?

Hey, is what I hear correct? Someone told me that the big shakeout
between HD DVD and Blueray will come (!) when the porn industry
decides which format they will go with.

Yay. How are we going to do it though?

-We- don't have a plan just yet. But since the money is a ways off, I
think I am doing alright.

Those are huge feet. How do you get your shoes anyways. Did you have to
order them?

Yea, you know what that means, right? I'll tell you what it means.. It
means I can buy my shoes at a grand total of about two places in the
area. Two.

And forget about ordering them. Not only are they size fifteen, my
arches are high enough that I can slide my hand under the arch from the
out side of my foot.

The best advantage of having feet that big is that the girlfriend is
impressed when she goes bug hunting with your shoe.

Ah, you have a problem worse than mine. I have size 13 feet, but I
need a AA narrow shoe, which I can't find, so I settle for a C width,
if I'm lucky. And my footprint is the same shape as my foot as viewed
from above - i.e. hardly any arch at all. What I do have is due to 35
years of arch supports that help with that, but unfortunately allow
plantar fasciitis to rear it's head occasionally.

That stinks. Was one of them Wal-Mart? If that's so, then effectively,
that's just one shop.

You have small hands too?

I can't buy clothes -or- shoes at Walmart. They are all made for little
people.

My hands are about an inch and a quarter to an inch and a half thick,
nine inches or so from the tip of my little finger to the tip of my
thumb when spread out, about eight and a half inches or so from my wrist
to the tip of my middle finger, and almost three and three quarters
inches wide. Anything else you want to know?

How come you guys have big feet? Mine are small (for my height).... I
have 9 1/2 or 10 depend on the kind of shoes. Though when I go to American
Eagle and found out they have custom sandals, they use my size turned out
to be size L equivalent, which made me grin. I thought I was the only one
with small feet.

Why do you have small feet?

Some guys have big ones, some guys have small ones. *shrugs* Just the
way the world is, I suppose.
