I am a direct descendant of both William Brewster and William Bradford and as such I have no time for this silliness because I am too busy admiring my pedigree
Haha Patrick. Many of us desent from famous names who were primarily left brained thinkers, but that is nothing to be proud of. In fact, it is quite sad and embarrassing. No-one with their whits about them wants to be associated with the ruling class, because we know what those types are like and the typical ideas of thinking they are above and better than other people and not subject to the same laws. Low level evolved humans.
Wait, I thought you weren't subject to the same laws either?

haha. Well I, for one, am glad you didn't wear it and either A) Get killed by an angry mob or B) Get STDs from a mob of hot, yet skanky, babes.
The skanky hotties are good to look at, but they can bring trouble into one's life on many levels. Pity, because having sex with a different one each day would be good fun haha. Unfortunately those types of things are off limits to various gurus, and lucky it is, because as l said, trouble can occur and lives can become complicated when people indulge in those types of activites.
The Magna Carta is useful symbolically, but in practice it was basically worthless. It basically was to keep some barons privilege intact against King John, in which it failed as they promptly threw it out and went to war. It was mostly recycling older charters dating back to Henry anyway. It didn't do anything for the average person back then.
They did keep three clauses in effect till the present day though.
"Magna Carta" principles existed in written form long before the Magna Carta.
Haha.
They're going to need a magma carter to cart some of that out of there. Looks dangerous.

Man tries to defend absurdity of buying almost fifty pair of shoes in under two years, presumably all via mail order, by claiming they make better financial sense than a heavy smoking habit. He admits to having that addiction as well, though.

This was a good attempt and rationalizing his compulsive disorder reinforced with a nicotine addiction: "With cluster buying around sales, deal flyer, etc. about half were bought at substantial discounts, others, I paid thru the nose for."
At least he can draw some comfort that he won't need many more shoes to have enough to see him through to the average life expectancy of a heavy smoker, whose wife also smokes heavily.
Still, it's a good job he doesn't also have a cocaine habit, as I reckon he would have made 499 shoes purchases in the same period!
I'm not criticizing this guy's shoe buying or smoking compulsions. But his $125/wk figure means about 4 packs a day between the two of them. Is that normal for smokers these days? I'm guessing that the dollar amount is inaccurate and actually much higher. I'd love to see the house. There are sure to be many collections other than shoes and cigarette butts.
