Do I really have to go to a large loud scary sneaker store to get them??
Don't go to Foot Locker. I went to a New Balance store, and they didn't videotape me like Bon's fancy store, but they did assess my gait, listen to what I wanted them for, and showed me the two shoes in the store that fit all the criteria. Nice and simple.
Also, the sales people were out of high school.
Well, immediately they're just for AIDS Walk. I figure flip flops aren't really the best choice. Ideally, I want street shoes that are sneaker-comfortable, which didn't work out the last time I bought Adidas.
Merrells, Jesse. My feets love the Merrells!
Sounds like White Castle. Which I could never eat, because they smell funky.
That's because they're boiled steam "grilled." What-ever.
That's nasty-ass boiled meat!
Krystals are better than White Castles. Which isn't saying much.
That's nasty-ass boiled meat!
Have some respect, dude. It's nasty-ass boiled meat with a spokesthereminist!
Man, Ugly Betty is making me plug my ears and hum. Ahrg. My cringe tolerance is way low today.
I just realized that I can go to the mall in Queens and not the scary shopping in midtown, and now I feel much better about my prospects. Seriously, I don't need much.
Krystal is the South's White Castle.
They fill the same ecological niche, but I think they're better than White Castles. My dad used to sell them beef, and they used surprisingly decent meat. I really prefer Krystals to other fast-food burgers, but that's probably because I grew up on them. (I remember when a Krystal was 12 cents.) In general, though, most people think of Krystals at about midnight after they've been drinking for hours. They also have the advantage of being the only fast food I can eat in the car relatively unscathed.
