Is there any reason in the world that someone should own 10 pairs of Adidas Classics? I'm ready to admit it. I have an addiction. I just really like them. And I don't think I can stop any time I want.
These are all of my Adidas in the order I bought them. Those last three pairs, the blue stripes, baby blue, and khaki colored, I bought all this week from endless.com all at the same time. That spells problem. In my defense, though, I try to only buy them when they are a good price. I got most of these for less than $45. (Not the navy blue ones, but I waited forever for them to go on sale.) The first, second, and seventh pair I got off the clearance rack.
And I'm still upset about the one pair I didn't get. That third pair, which is supposed to be that tan color is made of hemp and I got them at Journey's, which has great shows, for the record. At the same time they had another hemp pair that was green with white stripes. I always wanted to go back and get those too, but when I finally decided to get them they had stopped making them. Or at least stopped selling them there, and I can't find them online anywhere, either. I was pretty disappointed.
I was super excited when I got the first pair. If you can't tell in the pictures, they are white with purple stripes. I had been looking for that particular combination forever, and they don't really have them anywhere. I've never seen them on sale before or since. And to top it off, they were on the clearance rack at Modell's, I guess since no one but me wants Adidas with purple stripes, so I think they were $28. And in case you can't tell, those brown ones are actually corduroy. They're fucking awesome, also twenty something dollars off the clearance rack. Given that most Adidas Classics cost in the $65-$75 range, I feel it's my duty to buy them when they are on sale for deep discounts. I'm actually saving money by buying them. Yeah, that's it.
Also notice the first and third pair with the rubber shell top that is now yellow. Both of those used to be as white as that last pair. In the case of the hemp ones, though, the yellow actually makes them look a little better, so I'm hoping that the khaki ones will be similarly improved when they age, even though they're pretty awesome now as they are.

Oh dear... so, you're going public about your addiction...
Shouldn't we have discussed this first???
Are we ready?
i hope kathy didn't have to *foot* the bill for all of the those.
ba dum ch
Gosh, Luke, what a *corn*y joke.
Your sense of humor really *toes* the line between tasteful and not.
ouch.
i guess i have to admit de*feet* on this one.
i'm hurt but i hope that in time, my feelings will *heel*.
Uh-oh, this is getting ugly. I keep waiting for the other *shoe* to drop.
no need to *lace* into us like that, open bar. you really have no *sole*.
Didn't realize I was offending you, but if there was a pussy of the year award, you'd be a *shoe* in.
you can't see me right now but i'm sticking my *tongue* out at you.
incidentally.
flag on the play.
against open bar, using the 'shoe' pun twice in one comments section.
very lazy o.b., didn't realize you were such a *loafer*.
Ouch! Your comments hurt me, I need to go into my room and *heel*.
Shit, just realized I just fouled again (Chuck used *heel*). I feel like I've been shot with an arrow, just like *Achilles*.
I know I fucked up twice, so I hope I *nailed* that last one.
By the way, and I know Side Bar hasn't even offered up a decent comment yet, but we could start a pretty badass pun-based blog.
We could still talk about whatever, but puns would be the over*arch*ing theme. Y'see?
Maybe side bar feels he can't hang, we should try to *pump* up his ego.
*Ugg* that was bad.
Maybe you didn't get the last one because it's a girl shoe but I bet his sister would, although she isn't a New Yorker, she's a *Bostonian*.
Wow, LJT, seriously impressive with the punning. I think you've been hanging out with Mr. Westbrook for far too long.
This trail of puns is a very *slipper*y slope.
Open, you go from great puns to bad one. You're such a *flip flop*per.
We might have to give you the *boot* from the punning comments.
I don't even care any more wha*teva*.
if i had a foot fetish all this talk would make me *horn*y.
Keep up this pornographic talk, Luke, and I'll *sock* you. Then you might have to go see *Dr. Marten*.
Of course, I don't want to get in trouble. The police might *lace* into me pretty good. I'd have to hit you covertly, which would make me a *sneaker*.
Oh man, someone already used "lace".
Yea, I already did. Until you reused my pun I thought that was going to be a dope comment but it turns out you were just *string*ing me along.
It seems we must *tread* lightly around LJT's punage.
Hope you guys don't mind me *clog*ging up your comments section with my own attempts since I've *wedge*d myself into your pun war.
well done faith, you're punning with the grownups now.
next thanksgiving you can move from the *keds* table and eat with the adults.
where in the world are carmen sandiego and side bar?
perhaps they flew to amman on *air jordan*.
i dont even know how to stop.
Glad to know my attempts haven't fallen *flat*.
faith, pretty good - but i don't know if you are as *polished* as the rest of us.
Aw, and just when I thought you all had begun to take a *shine* to me.
I don't think I want to "Wade" into this conversation. I'm not sure I have the "balls"
If I did, I'd go on a "booty" call.
I hear *Mary Jane* is available.
Not sure if we're compatible. I have something of a foot fetish.
But I'd make an exception if she gives good Ked.
This is getting addictive. Perhaps we should all consider a 12-Step program.
now everyone is getting in on this - i half expect to read a comment from sarah goggin's uncle 'cleat'us!
Well done, LJT. I knew you'd be able to *cobble* together another one.
maybe you're *right* but the reference to sarah g is a bit esoteric. perhaps i should have just *left* it alone.
Sorry to re-join so late, but my computer's a *croc*k.
it's getting quiet - are we *running* out of puns?
maybe it's just a momentary *paws*
We could use Side Bar's help. If he doesn't join in soon, I'm gonna give him a *knuckle* sandwich.
Everybody's pretty *mule*-ish about letting this go.
(Yes, Open Bar, before you attack my spelling...again, I know it's mulish).
Man, this comment thread is *kicking* ass!
i don't know about that one faith.
maybe it's time to just *walk* away - i think you're just *hoof*assing it now.
Your last one's a bit questionable as well, LJT, but I'll *stiletto* you get away with it.
All right, I'm takin' off -- got tickets to *Stomp* tonight!
i usually find faith's comments kind of *ped*antic but she did ok this time around.
i bet when kathy made that first comment, she didn't realize it was a *gait*way to all of this!
Yeah, I bet if she were in our presence and we started punning like this, she'd *sprint* for the exit.
she'd probably *march* her way back home.
this exchange really *jogs* my memory back to high school when we'd do this all the time
Yes, apparently you're all *leaps* and *bounds* ahead of me in this punning business.
Speaking of high school, remember that kid who was the drummer -- Matt *Ankle*?
OB, that was bad. we are going have to sacrifice you now, like a fatted *calf*
Not you, Faith! Cathy. When people misunderstand me, it makes me *hopping* mad.
I disagree, LJT. Let's discuss the pros and *Cons* of this.
OB, don't go *jumping* to conclusions. I didn't misunderstand, just saying you've all had practice with this from back in your days as young *bucks*.
faith, you really *knee*d to follow this conversation more closely
Rest assured that I am completely capable of keeping up with the *blister*ing intensity of the rapid-fire commenting.
I believe you, Faith. Your last few comments have been strong. Not Paul *Bunion*-strong, but strong nonetheless.
you're pretty good, babe - but i'm like paul *bunion*
FLAG!!
Now, boys, we don't want any *sore* losers or *callus* comments.
(What's the internet version of jinx?)
flag on what?
oh i see, but i was writing it as you were and hadn't refreshed so i guess you could say the world wide *web-toe*ld me no one had used it yet
Now LJT, don't go blaming the internets for your slow-ass response. And by the way, the precise call on your flag was *clipping*.
open bar, you're such a *pedestrian*
I don't mind telling you both that this is pretty *shod*dy behavior you're both exhibiting.
i guess it's time to *tap* out
I think everyone's a bit *worn* out.
this is getting ridiculous, let's play a sport instead - shall we?
i think *tennis shoe*ld be fun for everyone.
Tennis sounds lovely. I will *espadrille* my serve right at you, LJT.
sorry faith but FLAG!
The bar is official knocked own.
*Darn*, it was fun while it lasted.
Well, gee, I guess there's nothing I can *sling back* at you for that. (oh wait, looks like I just did.)
*tube*ular
Wow, over 70 comments. We're *thigh-high* in puns.
You told Hasdai that I gave up but I didn't.
You told a *fib u la*zy punner!
Bring it on!
You think you scare me with your lies, but I'll not be gotten rid of that easily. I've been punning since I was *knee-high* to a grasshopper.
You two better stop being naughty to each other and start being nice or you'll end up with a lump of coal in your *stocking*.
*ho ho ho*
chris, that woudl be *coal*d
I had been meaning to comment on this earlier, before the great pun-splosion of 2007 got underway, but didn't Chuck say he had 10 pairs of Adidas Classics? In the pictures, I only see 8.
Don't you teach math, Chuck?
(I am officially out of foot puns. That's the truth. Can you *sandal* the truth?)
Open Bar, you god forsaken slut. There are 10 pairs of shoes in each picture. 5 in the top row and 5 in the bottom. (It's possible that you need to scroll to the right to see the whole picture, but if that's the case then you have a really small monitor.)
Instead of thinking about your *foot, massage* those brain cells and learn to count. Aye, there's the *rub*.
open bar is an awful human being.
what do you call a large frog?
a *big toe*d!
