Compulsive shoe orderer momsdoc takes time from his busy Passover to do what he truly loves, photographing and posting his shoes, by starting a thread pretending to be about everyone's Carmina, oops Meermin, shoes.  Bird of a feather Rogerp chimes in but amazingly without yet dropping in his own shoe photos from his masturbatory collection.  Luckily occasional visitor Peak and Pine comes in to change the topic to how the wife of the original poster won't skinny-dip because of fear of peeping neighbors, and to recall an old Western television show.

The same Spanish boot buying club stops in to call wearers of foppish "fun laces" little girls, but fail to win any converts.

Some poor young man with a mangled ankle asks if he can wear riding boots with a double breasted blazer.  The stopped clock happens to be right, and everyone responds negatively, but quickly digresses to blather about metal eyelets on balmoral boots being "rugged" and even better, Rogerp predictably somes in InStitches style to hold himself up as an model of sartorial exemplitude only to be wonderfully lambasted by new detractor watchnerd for wearing feminine archaic footwear reminiscent of steampunk cosplayers, with snark towards the quality of his trouser hem as well.

In the vain of crazy Antiques Roadshow rubes, a man buys a tie (presumably second-hand) and being unable to find the brand via Google starts wondering if he has a valuable rare collector item.  As if millionaires will be flocking to auction for his brown striped burlap tie.  Sorry babe, scarcity alone is not desirability.

Helpless idiot has new shoes with the faintest scuffs imaginable.  Instead of rubbing them off with his finger, he asks the internets.  The very first poster properly advises, you know, a dab of polish and whack with a buffing brush.  Helpless idiot moves from initial idea of having the "shoemaker" polish them to returning to the store.  I assume electricians come in to change his light bulbs too.

In the desparately titled "What does a trad girlfriend look like?" thread (which makes me think of some Bowery Boy type waxing poetic about his fantastical notion of an unobtainable rich girl), the great Howard posts some goth babe as a possible April Fools gag.  You can never tell with him.

Borrowing a Talk Ivy topic on Breton stripes, a member confuses Picasso's bread fingers with phalluses.  Comment quoted before he deleted it!

I wish old Gilgamesh would reappear to give his take on this one.  Some chap ponders riding a bicycle to work while wearing a suit and asks for advice.  The hermetically-sealed crowd worries about dirt and perspiration and cooties.  Then the insufferable really-serious-bicyclists blather about how you really, really, need to wear lycra  and flashy jerseys and special shoes to pedal around in town.  And be sure to get a $7k carbon fiber bike too.  An actual bicycle shop owner comes in and tells them they are arrogant nerds.  Rogerp the derp gets really touchy about the word "posing" for some reason, but has not posted glamour shots of his velcro-strap bicycle shoes yet.

This odd comment by someone praising $17 JC Penney shirts is still awaiting explanation.
"I don't want no-iron, but this isn't an option. I can add skim milk and detox the shirts."

The budding watchnerd seems a bit too swift for the Andyland crowd.  In the ongoing "Trad (imaginary) Girlfriend" thread, he points out that someone is posting "images from an interracial porn site" and minor kerfuffle ensues.

I went to the porno site. I feel inadequate now.

Here is a very involved procedure for detoxing your crappy shirts and, apparently, everything else you might ever wear. It's hard to imagine anyone who works for a living taking the time to do this.

I have never in my life seen a shoe do that

And those trousers look to have about a 5 inch hem, but he could be pulling them up or something to display the other disasters, so I'll reserve judgment there.

Surely a troll, me thinks?
