How many shoes do you need, Woman?

Shoes.

Hundreds of shoes.

I was having a discussion with Randi at the 'palooza, and the subject of shoes came up. Randi's quite the fashionable gal, and as expected, took the opportunity to model a striking pair of pointy-toed marvels. As most of you know, my wife possesses a copious amount of footwear, but I am told she could be considered a piker when it comes to the selection of dead animal skins, and synthetics she has acquired over the years. Randi was careful to point out, that while she maintains a sizeable stable of pedometric accoutrements, her husband, by the way, keeps a large number of DVD's in residence. "Now what does someone need with all of those DVD's?" she pondered.

Indeed.

I, like many of my male counterparts, seem to be perfectly happy with plodding along in life, with the bare minimum of a pair of sneakers, some work shoes, and perhaps a sandal or two to wear in a more 'tropical' environment.

However, when one wished to escape the mundane world of practical footwear, what better conveyance than one of our favorite movies? A trip to Wally World? Pop in "Vacation". Feeling nostalgic and sporty? Slap Shot. (Especially when I feel like "puttin' on the foil, coach.")

Here are some more advantages to collecting DVD's over shoes….

1. Sappy, girlie DVD's can be used as coasters.

2. In an emergency, they can be used to signal the search and rescue helicopter.

3, Frisbee land on the roof? No problem. Pull out that copy of "Yentl", and practice the one-hop…

4. Out of appetizer plates? Ya Ya sisterhood, Steel Magnolias, and the like, make perfect serving dishes with a convenient hole in the middle for a shot glass.

5. Birds bothering your garden? Any DVD starring Leonardo DiCapprio can be tied to a stake with string to frighten them away.

I'm sure there are more ideas out there.

For me and Randi's husband's sake, let's hear some of yours!

Me I am a southsider with only tennis shoes and I do collect albums and 78's and 45's and if I ever have to dress up well I guess I will have to buy an outfit. For now just give me my t-shirt, shorts, and stretch pants and tennis shoes and bare feet.
It was good seeing you again anaconda. OOOO and of course MY BEER. I collect beer everyday.

Hey DVD's make great wind chimes. They make such a pretty rainbow color when the sun hits them. Bet you can't do that with shoes.

Hi Dan! It was good to see you again!

My girls like to put DVD's & CD's they don't need anymore on the walls in their room!

Serenity's G.Scout troop made cute little Fish windchime thingy's out of the overabundance of Free AOL cd-roms that show up in everyones mailboxes.

I got lots of shoes...but I love my slippers. I hate wearing shoes around the house & I HATE to be barefoot. Won't even go from my bed to the bathroom without slippers! Last count I had 13 pair of slippers...all kinds...fuzzy slippers...beaded slippers...hi-heeled slippers..feathered slippers...flip-flop slippers...and plain, ordinary slippers. I have slippers in almost every color for almost every occasion!

I'm a not-so-crabby-anymore, late 40's white guy. 3 kids mostly gone, a smart, good-looking wife, and a couple of shi-tzu's. I scuba dive, play guitar in a rock band, restore vintage Porsches, and try to remain calm. 4th of July and Halloween are my favorite holidays.
