    Extensions still must require a strap-on effect, don’t you think?

    Forty odd years ago when working at the mill a customer came in wearing an “old way” shoe extension framework that was 8 or 10 inches high. I still wonder, when I recall this, what caused one of his legs to be so much shorter than the other one.

    Even orthopedic shoes started life as something cool. I never heard them called Extension Shoes, though.

    I sometimes watch the Major League Baseball (MBL) channel. Between innings, the guys come out onto this miniature playing field in suits, with shoes that must be at least size 16 AA. They must wear extensions. I once heard that there was a connection between shoe size and…well… maybe they’re trying to show off something they don’t have. Oh, height! That’s what it was. Still…you can’t show off your height by wearing shoe extensions. It’s not height. Baseball gloves make your hands look bigger, too. I guess I should stop here.

    Ouch.. the girdle. OUCH! And I’m just looking at it. I imagine they were uncomfortable enough to make some women angry and want to vote and stuff.

    Lame people got no reason

    Lame people got no reason

    Lame people got no reason to live

    They got diverse feet

    Hairy arms

    They post online hawkin’ Modene’s charms

    They got bustier roses

    And live cleanly (realize)

    They wear Extension shoes so both feet look alike

    … if it is guaranteed to remove hair by the root…

    …what a dangerous contraption…

    …imagine spilling on an area accidentally and voilà: no more eyebrows: ever!…

    …this FA was just lame…

    …old joke punchline: Well, peg leg, peg leg, peg leg…

    ..at least it wasn’t Peyronie’s disease…
