LOL reading this post reminds me of a sketch from Eddie Murphy's "Delirious". His mom threw a shoe at him whenever he got in trouble. She became so good at it she was like Clint Eastwood from "The Good, The Bad and the Ugly"...

...and when she wore heels, she got the boomerang action going on!

"She has that motherly/parental hearing so she'll be like: Wait a minute... tu tu tu tu tu tu tu tu... *CHUCK*CHUCK*... woom woom woom woom woom woom woom woom *BAM* AAAUGH! woom woom woom woom woom! *CHUCK*CHUCK*... let's go."

Hilarious.:crackup:

Seems my fellow New Yorkers will latch onto any trend, as long as it's anti-Bush. Who needs substance when you've got symbolism. (Yes, they honestly have nothing better to do). :laughing:

"At least a handful of New Yorkers have spontaneously begun to copy the actions of the Iraqi journalist who threw his shoes at U.S. President George W. Bush as an insult by throwing old pairs of their own shoes up into neighborhood trees and telephone poles in a way that their soles are plainly visible to passersby."

That's odd. They've been doing that tied shoes thrown over something high thing for the past 10 years or so around here. It was just tapering off as a "thing to do".

LOL, I just happened to recall an incident from 1960 when Soviet Premier Krushchev, during a United Nations meet, took off a shoe and beat it on his desk to protest what a speaker was saying.

At the time, that action was viewed as very offensive. Today, society has matured, and I and many others find that shoes, particularly smelly old shoes, have much in common with politics. Krushchev was ahead of his time.

Yes I would find it offensive also, especially if he had 5 day old socks on :faint:
