Faulty shoes. Stupid faulty shoes. Supposed to be well-made. Sold their soles for $155, had the sidewalks hole them for free. Where have all the good cobblers gone?

Water says hi, can I come in?

Please don't.

It'll just be for a sec. Just while it's raining. Water had boorish manners, that is to say, not well-heeled.

But it's going to rain all week.

Nice socks.

Please don't.

Too late. Water is not the type to tip-toe around the issue. My arch-enemy.

Now I've got to take the subway home, before my feet prune. The closest station is for a line that takes longer. I haven't taken it in months, but I remember something bad about getting cold feet so I toe the line. I'm pronating like a madman.

Old commuting habits come back atavistically. Stay to the right on this staircase, to the left on that. Move to the third car of the E train, the second to last of the L. Hustle to the Thai place. Don't be a loafer.

The cute, under-age girl at the counter knows me now. I tell her to sock it to me, I don't wanna have to play the lace card. She rings up a pad thai for sole brother number one. Insteps the hipster guy while I'm waiting. He used to be wet behind the ears, corny posters of Paul Bunion on the walls of his room. Now he's way calloused.

I quick-step it home, throw my double-entendres on the couch. I turn on the television and I see Bob Dylan in a Victoria's Secret commercial. He looks like a vampire.

Punitive action must be taken in response to this entry.

You're walking on puns and needles here...

Bob Dylan in a Victoria's Secret ad? Explain.

A VS commercial came on the TV and there was Bob Dylan, looking like some freaking Anne Rice wet dream. I was thrown for a micro-loop.

Coverage.

morland, you seem to have an affinity for underage workers in the food service industry. why is that?

They're young, PLUS they're taking orders from me, which makes them extra subservient!
