foul-mouthed, pornographic, hate-filled, humorless individuals

Three out of four ain't bad. Gimme a few years and I'm sure I'll jettison humour along with everything else.

A prime example of how the housing market got so fucked up.

HA HA! You guys crack me up!

Shit! Does that mean I have to start going back to church now?

Did Kat link to the Sesame Street videos here? I watched Big Bird learn that Mr. Hooper was never coming back and cried and cried in my office, and now I am thinking fondly of John-John.

Shit! Does that mean I have to start going back to church now?

Well, you blew humorless, but you've got profane, and the anti-church sentiment is hate-filled if you squint a little. Do you think you could throw in a little porn to make sure you've got the rest of the atheist bases covered?

Have we talked about the penis-theft panic?

KINSHASA (Reuters) - Police in Congo have arrested 13 suspected sorcerers accused of using black magic to steal or shrink men's penises after a wave of panic and attempted lynchings triggered by the alleged witchcraft.

Reports of so-called penis snatching are not uncommon in West Africa, where belief in traditional religions and witchcraft remains widespread, and where ritual killings to obtain blood or body parts still occur.

Rumors of penis theft began circulating last week in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo's sprawling capital of some 8 million inhabitants. They quickly dominated radio call-in shows, with listeners advised to beware of fellow passengers in communal taxis wearing gold rings.

Purported victims, 14 of whom were also detained by police, claimed that sorcerers simply touched them to make their genitals shrink or disappear, in what some residents said was an attempt to extort cash with the promise of a cure.

"You just have to be accused of that, and people come after you. We've had a number of attempted lynchings. ... You see them covered in marks after being beaten," Kinshasa's police chief, Jean-Dieudonne Oleko, told Reuters on Tuesday.

Police arrested the accused sorcerers and their victims in an effort to avoid the sort of bloodshed seen in Ghana a decade ago, when 12 suspected penis snatchers were beaten to death by angry mobs. The 27 men have since been released.

Ok, now I am earwormed with "detachable Penis"

Did they check in the box?

In conclusion: don't stand so close to me.

Someone should write a song or something...

I actually don't think that supination is all that uncommon. I have high arches and I supinate. I ended up getting orthotics for running shoes which corrected the problem.

Well, it's much less common than the other two types (neutral and people that overpronate) and I find that when I go into most sneaker/sports stores, they don't really know what to give me.

I poked around online but wasn't convinced that I was getting something for my foot. In fact, I thought it was specifically on the New Balance fitting site that the links for over- and under-pronation led you to the same shoes. Now that I've gone directly there though, I don't see what I looked at yesterday.

Anyway, mostly I was looking for a personal rec from a buffista that had the same issues. I'm walking a lot and I want to find something that is comfortable and reasonable enough that I can replace them as often as I need to.
