I was looking for these!
Posted by: The Sardonicynic | March 28, 2006 at 01:49 PM
I think my kids would have a blast trying to step on those little rings as I'm sleep walking. (Hopefully, I'm not having sex at the time.)
Posted by: ScottMGS | March 28, 2006 at 01:51 PM
HAHAHAHAHAHA! I LOVE these!
Posted by: Tamara Rhymes With Camera | March 28, 2006 at 01:54 PM
??? Scott has sex while he's sleepwalking?!? THERES a trick thats better than sleep-eating!
Posted by: CoastRaven | March 28, 2006 at 01:57 PM
I had no idea slipper theft was such a problem.
Posted by: LadyBug | March 28, 2006 at 01:59 PM
Uh CR, maybe he's alone at the time IYKWIM.
Don't really need these. My slippers have a chemical anti-theft system. Even the dog won't go near them.
Posted by: fivver | March 28, 2006 at 02:00 PM
Hmmm...would maybe work when my dog tries to steal my slippers?
Posted by: Reine de Guin | March 28, 2006 at 02:01 PM
If they frighten off the dog, fine.

Wait a minute ... where are the lights?
Posted by: Chianca at Large | March 28, 2006 at 02:12 PM
Made from recovered avocado green Naugahyde. No naugies were killed to make these slippers.
Posted by: MOTW | March 28, 2006 at 02:13 PM
Yeah, but will anybody pay attention when the damn things go off in the middle of the night, waking the neighborhood?
"Hey Mitchell! Your damn slipper alarm went off twice last night! How the hell are we supposed to sleep around here?"

This footwear goes great with the "Cup with a plug"

But what if you occasionally leave the table? Not that anyone here would do that, but stil...

ASK, i'm guessing you have to leave your feet behind
Posted by: crossgirl | March 28, 2006 at 02:23 PM
Okay...maybe I can buy into the notion that slipper theft is a growing concern. But what on earth is with the sweatpants with arm attachments??????

CR - That was a purely hypothetical parenthetical comment. No one's ever seen me do that (as far as I know).
Posted by: ScottMGS | March 28, 2006 at 02:40 PM
...and then there's that whole lapdog thing.
Posted by: ScottMGS | March 28, 2006 at 02:42 PM
OK Scott - not to belabor a point, but are you saying noone has ever seen you having sex? I think the advice I got from the doctor might help you! When I asked what was the best thing I could do to improve my sex life, he said "Get a partner".
Posted by: CoastRaven | March 28, 2006 at 02:45 PM
Coast - Yeah, but where did the kids come from? That's what I want to know!
Posted by: ScottMGS | March 28, 2006 at 02:48 PM
Okay, I can actually see that these might serve a purpose in, say, an Infirmary for Thieves, but what in G0d's name are these for?!
Posted by: KDF | March 28, 2006 at 02:49 PM
This must be the official catalog of the dangerously paranoid. Here's the actual description under "Cup with Plug": This cup has a plug. By getting the plug out of your personal cup, no one is able to use your cup.
*eye twitch*
If they're going to use my cup, then I will make it my mission to ensure the drainage of their ill-gotten coffee because they do not deserve any!
*eye twitch, eye twitch, cackle*
WTD?
Posted by: KDF | March 28, 2006 at 02:59 PM
Hey, who doesn't need one of these from time to time.
Posted by: ScottMGS | March 28, 2006 at 03:02 PM
Scott, thank you for enabling my giggle fit.

Can someone please point me in the direction of where I can learn how to embed links in my posts. I am sure it is something easy, or it will require me to sacrifice something to Chango when I want to.

Spjg, e:mail coming your way.

Some People Guzzle Juice:
<A HREF="URL for link goes here with quotes">on screen text with no quotes here"</A>
Leave a space between A and HREF, no spaces elsewhere except in onscreen text.

Some People Nuzzle Greeks: sorry, last quote in the above doesn't belong.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | March 28, 2006 at 03:43 PM
Show off.
Posted by: KDF | March 28, 2006 at 03:52 PM
Thank You Meanie
Posted by: Some_people_juggle_geese™ | March 28, 2006 at 03:53 PM
Jealous.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | March 28, 2006 at 03:54 PM
KDF:
Could you be good enough to fwd that email re embedding links in the post to me as well...I finally located the "package enhancer" and I'm dying to post it
Posted by: artist formerly known as "tsktsk" | March 28, 2006 at 03:58 PM
Go ahead.......
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | March 28, 2006 at 03:59 PM
Should be there. :)
Hush yo' mouth, Meanie.
Posted by: KDF | March 28, 2006 at 04:03 PM
I'd love to see what you all will do with this. (Mild office warning.)
*sits back and waits*

Re Scott's link:
Ramparts for Life™.
Totally unrelated but snorkworthy comment from the Seihin Master below product: Thank you for your visiting.
Posted by: KDF | March 28, 2006 at 04:25 PM
I'm still obsessed and totally puzzled by the sweatpants with arm attachments.
Posted by: KDF | March 28, 2006 at 04:26 PM
I have always wanted to get a pair of these
Posted by: artist formerly known as "tsktsk" | March 28, 2006 at 04:31 PM
Thanks KDF - it worked!! Now does anyone know how to insert a RP video file in the blog?
Posted by: artist formerly known as "tsktsk" | March 28, 2006 at 04:32 PM
Well, they're better than these slippers!
Posted by: Sarah J | March 28, 2006 at 04:50 PM
Forbidden territory, tsk.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | March 28, 2006 at 05:14 PM
afka"tt" - You can't insert a video on the blog but you can insert a link to a video.
Posted by: ScottMGS | March 28, 2006 at 05:18 PM
Thanks Scott.
It took me a while to find the link. Many people are continuing to toil on the earlier thread concerning the kilts and "package builder"; they are up to over 3000 posts now.
Anyway, I was able to locate the real package builder and posted it down there; thought I'd share it on this thread as well...
It's a bit better full screen...
Caution: mild office warning, with sound
Posted by: artist formerly known as "tsktsk" | March 28, 2006 at 05:27 PM
ASK - I had the same question.
Key Quote: The rings are put through the legs of a table.
Why would anybody wear slippers only at the table? What do you wear to get to the table? Another pair of slippers? What if somebody steals those slippers?
Just speculating. I don't wear slippers, anyway.

Snork @ Chianca for slights on shoes/slippers
Posted by: daisymae | March 28, 2006 at 05:45 PM
okay...
Why are my posts all in italics?
Let's try this!
Posted by: daisymae | March 28, 2006 at 05:46 PM
I think it worked.
Posted by: daisymae | March 28, 2006 at 05:47 PM
Help! I was drinking while viewing the blog. (A big no-no, I know, but I couldn't help myself - to view that is).
So I clicked on the curved slippers and accidentally downloaded some very long program involving Japanese characters onto my computer.
My question is, has your computer self-destructed since viewing this post? And more importantly, should I expect mine to destruct any moment now?
Must I remove this characters and thier packs or am I safe and secure in the knowledge I can now view pages written in Japanese without the need of a translator?
Posted by: Jacki | March 28, 2006 at 10:19 PM
Jacki 、あなたおよびコンピュータはすぐ自己self-destruct 。実行及び。それからコンピュータ販売店に行きなさい。
Posted by: KDF | March 28, 2006 at 10:39 PM
That's not funny KDF. (Well, okay, actually, it is.) But I did preface the post by mentioning there was alcohol involved. I think that should absolve me of any stupid statement and/or paranoia.
Wait - just posting on this blog requires stuppid statements and paranoia.
What's a girl to do?
Posted by: Jacki | March 28, 2006 at 10:50 PM
All your paranoia are belong to us.
And drinking is REQUIRED!
Now. Here's what to do: 最初にすべての、パニックに陥ってはいけない。次にそして、電話、ダイヤルおよび日本のトランスレーターを見つけなさい。家からゆっくり支持し、後生だからスリッパを忘れてはいけない。
Okay? Don't forget your slippers!
Posted by: KDF | March 28, 2006 at 11:04 PM
Translation:
First to all, panics you do not have to fall. You and the computer immediately oneself. And, find the translator of the telephone, the dial 911 and Japan next. From the house slowly it supports, therefore epigenesis the slipper it does not have to forget.
Posted by: KDF | March 28, 2006 at 11:08 PM
Thank you very much KDF for that timely, and ever so helpful, response. Alas, I must retire for the evening, so I will leave my computer on the hands of the new Japanese Character pack.
If it starts next day
All will be well with it, yes?
If not, I will sue
Posted by: Jacki | March 28, 2006 at 11:15 PM
for ALL of your lawn care needs
Posted by: sparrow | March 28, 2006 at 11:23 PM
My guess is the slippers are for traditional Japanese restaurants, where patrons take off their shoes before sitting at the traditional low tables in the "shoeless" area. Waiters, who constantly cross from the "shod" area (kitchen, entrance, etc.) into the "shoeless" area have slippers waiting at the shoeless area for them to use. Maybe patrons have been stealing these, odd as that seems.
Now the pants with arms attached - well, see the manufacturer's page for a whole collection of baffling, obsession-inducing demented garments. Not one useful thing among them.

Glad to see you back, Sparrow. Thought you'd flown the coop for good.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | March 29, 2006 at 10:37 AM
I'm 23 DB/judi posts behind because of the da*n Kilt thread so I can't open any links or I'll never catch up. And I was sick.
I hope I'm not missing anything great. If I am, please don't tell me.
Thank you.
Posted by: Eleanor | March 29, 2006 at 06:49 PM
MTB - I'm gonna have to just call you Blue 'cause the Meanie doesn't fit.

re: Dave's post.... WTD??????
re: Some People Juggle Geese... I thought of that "House" episode, too. "House" is the best damn show on television. ("24" not withstanding.)
