[Balanchine]

Oh for pete's sake.

[Brainy Jello]

That verse stinks!

[Laguito Mojito]

Not first!

[VictoriaE77]

I was taught that stepping on scripture was a bad thing.

My parents were so wrong.

[Balanchine]

Victoria, as long as you don't flush it down the restaurant seat you're ok.

[Sarcasmo]

Worn only in the right shoe.

That can't be orthopedically sound.

[Brainy Jello]

Sarc - I missed that about the right shoe. So I guess it's not weird, then.

[long tall texan]

save you sole!

[tyler]

Anything from the book of Job?
I need something to put in my workboots.

[long tall texan]

save YOUR sole too!

oh, have I told you guys that today is my birthday?

[VictoriaE77]

LTT - I'm not sure, but I might have heard somewhere that today is your birthday. Is this a rumor, or fact?

[Balanchine]

Texans do everything in non-moderation.

[Mr.Fishair]

Oh, the hell with shoes.

[Sarcasmo]

B.J. -

2nd sentence in the blurb:

"Worn in the right shoe, each one provides a related scripture and affirmation."

[VictoriaE77]

The worst part is, people are gonna buy these things.

[queensbee]

never mind them. save US from this crappola! apparently, nothing is sacred anymore. will these things work on my bunion?

[queensbee]

just a quick question - the site is only for christian feets. no jews. no nobody elses. harumph. darn right, worn on the right foot. they aint kidding. and happy birthday tex.

[pogo]

I don't care what it says - it still smells like stinkfoot to me.

[queensbee]

did anybody go to the link on the side for sox??? they're called -- faith heels --. LORDY, help us. if it wasnt so funny, it would be scary. wait. it IS scary.

[Christobol]

judi - it's not true. My brothers and I have already begun work setting up "Cool Hell" and "Fun Hell" (a fully owned subsidiary of Cool Hell). I'll make sure you don't have to wait in line.

As for this product, it looks like it might sell better than my "Scripture Thong" line. I really thought the "Love Thy Neighbor" theme would catch on, but I guess there are just too damned many ugly neighbors out there.

[Lairbo]

Now, if these things were also floatation devices making it possible to walk on water ("Thanks, scripture!"), then, they'd really have something.

[golfwidow]

I would like to thank everyone for not bringing up those wretched "gellin'" commercials.

However, I would also like to point out that these inserts are probably endorsed by St. Hubbins, the patron saint of quality footwear.

[Gary]

Actually, I kinda like the socks ... but the Dr. Scholl's are a little beyond the pale.

[Somewhere North]

It's nice that they come with air freshners. So Christians are putting scriptures in their shoes, and Jews are walking about with scriptures on their foreheads and Muslims are blowing themselves up over it.

We're all going to hell...

[thefly]

As a christian female without insole issues, I still find this website corny. So, all non-christians please feel free to laugh. I believe God has a sense of humor though, so instead of hell, more than likely He'd just give you insole problems in just your right foot. :)

[Somewhere North]

So just so I'm clear... what exactly does constitute blasphemy now? I just wanna know where the line is....

[Gary]

Somewhere, if you're really serious: it's all in your heart. God doesn't judge by external actions - unlike the rest of us, He knows your heart. So one person may do something with good motives and it's not a problem, whereas another does the same thing with bad motives and it is.

[thefly]

Think of it like this North... I can make fun of my brother and it's ok because I love him. However, if you make fun of my brother (I'm assuming you don't love my brother) I might sock you. :)

[thefly]

You're not in love with my brother are you?

[thefly]

Just Kidding

[M.C.]

Doesn't this beg the question WWJW (That's right: What Would Jesus Wear)? And that answer is totally 'sandals', but we all know that insoles and sandals simply don't go together, so... Is that a Christian enough reason not to invest?

...I would guess not, though, as a Google search for the exact phrase "Christian clothing" yeilds precisely 47,800 results as of June 3rd, 2005.

So there are not only people making Christian clothing that even Jesus wouldn't wear, there are also people buying it.

[igloo]

I don't know about the rest of you, but my own personal Hell came into being when His Daveness got writers cramp and quit his weekly column.
All of the signs of the Apocolypse have come into being. Gary Larson-AWOL; Calvin-AWOL; Dave Barry-AWOL. Once Scott Adams and Dilbert take a powder, well, all I can say is you better have your poop together and in not too big a pile to haul.

[Robert F.T.W.]

Now I understand why it is the right foot. The left-foot insoles are used as air fresheners.

Stomp to the right, sniff to the left.

[Bumble]

I think I'll stick with my little gold cross necklace. Scully style.

[jt]

Gee, isn't this the kind of thing that gets people in Afghanistan and Iraq rioting? You know, desecrating the word of God? Where should we meet to start our riot?

[insomniac]

They have these for females, right ? Because

"Hell hath no fury like a woman's corns."

[laura]

so do these go above or below the odor eaters?

[Bucket]

Laura-

That depends on if you wear orthopedic shoes, custom molded inserts, have flat feet, heel spurs, high arches, or a superiority complex. Consult your podiatrist or televangelist for further indoctrination, *ahem* I meam instruction.

[U.O]

Just FYI --

Right foot only, 'cuz the left (hand, foot, whatever) is associated with Satan ...

[Christobol]

Hey U.O.! I'm left handed!

Oh, and I have your soul in a mason jar on my desk. So, that. By the way, keeping your appendages whole was not part of the bargain.

[alanboss]

Hey U.O!

I was going to say that, only funnier!

[Aunt Swizzle]

U.O., it seems to me the verses should be worn on the left foot, cuz that's the one that needs saving. It's really wasted on the already righteous right. By the way, what does URL stand for?

[Aunt Swizzle]

U.O., I think scripture should be worn on the left foot, cuz that's the one that needs saving. It's just wasted on the already righteous right. By the way, what does URL stand for?

[Mahatma Kane Jeeves]

The Army had to scrap the Koran version they had been planning for detainees . . .

[U.O]

Hey all you southpaws out there ... I wasn't implying anything there ... the thinking of the Dark Ages (Pre-Renessaince) was largely based on superstition, and left-handedness was less common, and someone tied it to "evil" somehow ... prolly the church ... and the Latin root "dexter" is "on the right" ... and the word/root for "left" is ... "sinister" ... which fits nicely with the concept of "evil" or "satanic" ...

Besides which already, with the radial fracture, I've been mostly left-handed for the last couple of weeks ...

Besides which again already, I consider moi ownself to be ambidextrous ... i.e.>/i> equally clumsy with either hand ...

BWAAA ... I've really noticed that the more creative type folks are left-handed ... particularly in the newspaper bidness ... you know, the old "right brain-left handed" concept ...

[insomniac]

and then there's the whole (or hole) wiping-your-ass thing...

- another southpaw

[Lori]

you think this is funny - you should check out the web site for "This is True" (it's a great site!) and see their "Get Out of Hell Free" cards and other items. What a hoot!

[Stupendous Man]

The left is "sinister" from the Latin word sinestra, which means "anyone who doesn't think as I think." (Just kidding)

[U.O]

Now there you go, S.M. -- trying to inject a note of seriousness (NOT) into a friendly blog conversation ... way to go!

Har!

(This entry refers vaguely to the prior/later thread, which got sorta bogged down in some serious political views ... which your "sinister" citation addresses ... HOWever, as in all satire [or approximation thereof] there is enuf truth in even the facetious to sting some sensibilities a bit ... GOOD WORK!)

I've said it before, I'll say it again ...

BOOGER!!!
