Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

So the other day I saw a woman wearing a pair of nice dress boots. They were black leather that went up just below the knees - and they had open toes. You could see about three toes on each foot, as the opening was fairly small.

Cool? Weird? An abomination unto footwear?

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

I'm going with "abomination unto footwear".

I should have taken a photo. But then again, it might sound rude if I say, "Can I take a photo of your boots so my invisible internet friends can discuss and possibly make fun of them?"

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Not that it's anything people here don't know, but this is life without unions and a healthy social safety net [link]

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Answers b) and c), and sadly not uncommon around here. I find them horrific.

They're in style now, those Open toe boots. UGLY and wrong like a wrong thing.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

huh, I have yet to see open toed boots, but they don't sound like my thing.

My head feels loopy. I think I need a cup of coffee if I am going to get any more grading done today. And I need to get grading done.

I am making rose hip oil at the behest of my husband, who harvested them off the rose bushes. I am not sure what he plans on doing with it, but I like the idea of making soap with it.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I have yet to see open toed boots, but usually as soon as I say such a thing I step out of my office onto the quad and get assaulted with whatever fashion error we're talking about. I'm sure I'll see them in the next 47 minutes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

There's a woman here at the office who wears them. With close-toed hose. No, I'm voting now.
