And it comes with charcoal filters and special deodorizers to counter-act the serious case of stinkfoot you'll get from wearing plactic shoes.

This is the stupidesst thing I've ever heard.
Posted by: Stevie W | December 30, 2006 at 01:20 PM
Research shows the average householder spends almost 90 hours?! every year vacuuming the house.
I think I majorly skew those results. I also think those shoes are a sucky idea.
Posted by: slyeyes | December 30, 2006 at 01:20 PM
Don't judge my vacuuming until you've walked in my shoes pal.
Posted by: Brad | December 30, 2006 at 01:22 PM
and you think tennis shoes make your feet smell....
Posted by: Jazzzz | December 30, 2006 at 01:24 PM
You keep sayin' you got something for me
Something to make our carpets free from dust
Then you bought me vacuum shoes for Xmas
Forgive me if it don't fill me with lust!
Those shoes were made for sucking
And they'll suck dirt real fine
One of these days they'll find those shoes
Stuck where the sun don't shine!

So, Berkenstock makes vacuums now?
Posted by: Punkin Poo | December 30, 2006 at 01:30 PM
Good one, insom!
Where has all the toe jam gone?
Long time amassing
Where has all the toe jam gone?
Between my toes
Where has all the toe jam gone?
Sucked and vacuumed from beyond
How 'bout my athlete's foot?
How 'bout my athlete's foot...

Well, they’re a waste of my money,
Ugly as sin,
They ain’t no good,
At Vacuumin’.
So don't you buy those Berkensuck shoes.
You can do anything but clean with those Berkensuck shoes.

Hey, maybe Batman can use these instead of those suction cup devices that are just so outdated now.
Posted by: Siouxie | December 30, 2006 at 01:34 PM

Jazzz: the Jags have to beat KC, the Jets have to lose to the Raiders, and NE has to lose. Plus another unliklihood or two.
Greetings from the tiki bar by the beach. Loves me some wirless!
Posted by: CJrun | December 30, 2006 at 02:59 PM
NE will not lose.
That is all.

I typed with a quirk once - but I find my fingers much easier.
(Quirks wear down to nubs so quickly these days)

Well CJ, my first inkling would be to say "no way", but I turned off the Texas Tech game at half time. How am I doin'?

Awesome as usual, Insom. And, for a change, an earworm offset by great

Miss Nemo: Right in one!
Posted by: ScottMGS | December 30, 2006 at 06:43 PM
If Monolo Blankik isn't designing them, there is little hope I would ever wear them.
Also, I had a Roomba vacuum. Silly thing isn't designed to survive dog hair but will kill dust bunnies. Had I known indoors pets would shed so much I would have gone with minks.
Posted by: Cheryl Howard | December 30, 2006 at 06:50 PM
Beppie-Or, at least toe cancer.

stevie w, do you not know that the Number One Rule of THE FIRST CLUB is that in order for a FIRST to be counted, the article must be read before the post.
We rely on the Honor System. ;)
Siouxie, are/ you/ OK/

how are the shoes going to help my boyfriend vacuum while he's laying in bed watching t.v.?
Posted by: nora | December 30, 2006 at 07:31 PM
'It is a simple, yet creative cleaning concept that doesn't take up any precious free time."
Errrrr...just exactly how much "free time" is taken up by having to walk over every square inch in one's house?
Posted by: AFKAT | December 30, 2006 at 07:50 PM
nora....you can strap them to his head like ear muffs and see what comes out. Being a guy of the male gender, you probably won't be able to tell us about it, lest we have to get out the Sharpies™
Posted by: Jazzzz | December 30, 2006 at 07:53 PM
...and there goes AFKAT using logic again!! What have we told you about that?
Posted by: Jazzzz | December 30, 2006 at 07:55 PM
Akkkk...sorry, jazzz
Refraining from using logic is one of my New Year's resolutions...
Apparently I watched waayyy to much of Spock in my otherwise mis-spent youth...
Posted by: AFKAT | December 30, 2006 at 08:05 PM
*snork* @ nora.
Cheryl, Roomba has been Lab Tested, which is what we call it when something survives my friend's dogs. Roomba's problem is it has a toddler-sized tummy. I bought multiple Discovery models and am messing with them. If a sensor told the critter it was getting full, it could dock periodically at a second station with a wall-mounted vacuum and get its pipes cleaned. As long as the Cool Whip was at room temperature.
Posted by: CJrun | December 30, 2006 at 08:26 PM
Kay, no time to read all the comments, but I'd buy it if it did cat litter, toilets and windows.
Posted by: ubetcha | December 30, 2006 at 08:42 PM
Cj--Our Roomba suffered when the dog hair bacame entangled in the moving parts or more correctly where the moving parts connected to the non-moving parts. (Rubber wheels, brush bar, etc.). The filter and bag(less) unit were not phased nor filled.
Cool Whip? I gotta see the tutorial on this ;-)
Posted by: Cheryl Howard | December 30, 2006 at 09:18 PM
Those brogans SUCK
Posted by: ednauseam | December 31, 2006 at 10:31 PM
They would traumatize my cats. Not to mention that it sounds easier to vacuum than to wear things like that.
