DAVE SAYS WE NEED SHOES!!!
Posted by: gjd | October 30, 2007 at 09:40 AM
I also need a cracked skull. I could get both at once!
Posted by: FredinKC | October 30, 2007 at 09:41 AM
Yikes! sthnbelle is right, I couldn't even get them on safely, let alone stand upright and move.
And the word of the day is Productivity!
Posted by: Ellasmom | October 30, 2007 at 09:43 AM

*zips out to zappos*

Can ya make 'em go faster?
Posted by: blurk | October 30, 2007 at 09:44 AM
It would be better if, instead of cable controls it had BlueTooth™.
Or maybe a web interface (that we could hack and then make the wearer do REALLY crazy stunts).
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | October 30, 2007 at 09:44 AM
do they come in black patent?
Posted by: crossgirl | October 30, 2007 at 09:46 AM
Wow, those would look great with my light up bra and electric leather skirt!
Posted by: casey | October 30, 2007 at 09:48 AM
*snork* @ DPChris. I was thinking they sounded fun until you brought that idea up.
Posted by: gjd | October 30, 2007 at 09:49 AM
Well, in the spirit of productivity, Ellasmom....
Posted by: sthnbelle | October 30, 2007 at 09:50 AM
HEY! shoes is shoes...
Even if it's shoes that can potentially kill you.

Casey, that's a pic. that needs to be on the Blog Halloween page.
Posted by: gjd | October 30, 2007 at 09:51 AM
Lemme guess - Batteries not included?
Posted by: pogo | October 30, 2007 at 09:52 AM
gjd, I could show you a pic, but then I'd have to poke your eyes out. Unless you poke 'em out first.
Posted by: casey | October 30, 2007 at 09:53 AM
gjd, here's the site for the bras. My electrical buzzing skirt is patent pending (TM thingy) so it's still top-secret.
somebody do a favor for me since I'm htlmnop impaired?

Posted by: casey | October 30, 2007 at 09:55 AM
OMG, Casey, those are great! The scrolling message bra is too funny...just in case you don't know what you're looking at... LOL
*goes back to check sizes and prices*

(rummages in box of old in-line/skateboard stuff for KNEEPADS, ELBOW PADS, WRIST PADS, HELMETS)
I think I'm of an age where I need body armor.
Posted by: daisymae | October 30, 2007 at 10:02 AM
casey's bra linky
Posted by: Siouxie | October 30, 2007 at 10:03 AM
I'd rather take my changes with mechanical shoes.
Posted by: Edgar Greenberg | October 30, 2007 at 10:13 AM
Are these solar-powered batteries? What happens if you ride through a puddle? Will these replace NASCAR?
Posted by: myrtlemay | October 30, 2007 at 10:19 AM
EG - you going thru the 'change', too?
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | October 30, 2007 at 10:19 AM
Body armor for daisymae. Could be fun.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | October 30, 2007 at 10:23 AM
I'm sure somebody has linked this before on a shoes topic but just in case....
NSFW: sound, language, bad taste
Posted by: ScottMGS | October 30, 2007 at 10:23 AM
KNEEPADS, ELBOW PADS, WRIST PADS, HELMETS?
What kind of kinky stuff are you into daisymae?
Posted by: Bãrön vønKlýff | October 30, 2007 at 10:24 AM
That's one helluva
chestchastity belt, there, Annie.Posted by: ScottMGS | October 30, 2007 at 10:26 AM
Too bad it didn't come (har) with a warranty.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | October 30, 2007 at 10:29 AM
Sheesh, Baron...the usuals kinks. She's missing the baby oil and feather boa though...which is strictly a matter of taste.
yes?
Posted by: Siouxie | October 30, 2007 at 10:29 AM
Feather boas have a taste?
Posted by: casey | October 30, 2007 at 10:30 AM
Lighted bras, as if guys needed any help finding them. Good Grief.
Posted by: Ellasmom | October 30, 2007 at 10:32 AM
casey, only on very messy situations (iykwim)(aityd)
Posted by: Siouxie | October 30, 2007 at 10:35 AM
Ellasmom - they're mesmerizing and if you move smoothly enough we won't notice that you've slipped out of it, left it hanging on the dresser knobs and left the room.
Posted by: ScottMGS | October 30, 2007 at 10:38 AM
...or taken your wallet...to pay for the dang batteries. Those things aren't solar-powered, ya know.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | October 30, 2007 at 10:45 AM
Siouxie, I can understand kneepads (hardwood floors), elbow pads (see kneepads), and helmet (headboard, wall, ceiling), but wrist pads??? What are they to protect against?
Posted by: Bãrön vønKlýff | October 30, 2007 at 10:45 AM
handcuffs.
that. is. all.
Posted by: Siouxie | October 30, 2007 at 10:48 AM
Baron I have the answer for that. It's to protect her from cutting her wrists when she is inevitably left high and dry, iykwim.
Posted by: casey | October 30, 2007 at 10:48 AM
Oh. Well Sx, you must have better luck than me.
Posted by: casey | October 30, 2007 at 10:49 AM
Looks like they left out the testimonials that said "Now I have two cracks in my ass thanks to these..."
Posted by: Wench Lizzy | October 30, 2007 at 10:50 AM
Casey, you obviously must be going out with the wrong men is all I can say.
Posted by: ArcticAl | October 30, 2007 at 10:51 AM
Al, just jivin...seeing if I could get a rise (har!) outta you guys this morning.
Posted by: casey | October 30, 2007 at 11:04 AM
Hm, casey - I think if I got that scrolling marquee bra I could get the whole Bears roster on there at one fell swoop.
Posted by: DeskDiva | October 30, 2007 at 11:06 AM
Judging from the sharp turn this thread has taken, I would say these shoes will drive you straight into the gutter.
I'm so glad I'm innocent and pure and I have had nothing to do with this.
Posted by: casey | October 30, 2007 at 11:06 AM
I meant to add that it would be fun at ball games. Sheesh.
Posted by: DeskDiva | October 30, 2007 at 11:06 AM
Question:
I haven't seen the video clips. They take too long to load and I'm not a patient person.
Why is the motor thingy on one skate/shoe only? That could be dangerous is your other foot's lazy and all of the sudden the skate takes OFF. MAJOR split!
owwww
Posted by: Siouxie | October 30, 2007 at 11:07 AM
HAHAHAHAHAHA Siouxie!!!
That visual made me LOLer!!!
Posted by: casey | October 30, 2007 at 11:08 AM
casey, me too. I don't know why we hang (heh!) with these pervs.
Posted by: Siouxie | October 30, 2007 at 11:09 AM
that's why it's important to do your daily flexibility exercises Siouxie. you know the ones, the ones that go with the knee pads, elbow pads and the wrist guards.
Posted by: wickedwitch | October 30, 2007 at 11:10 AM
wicked, Pilates for flexibility is one thing...but think of the "rug" burn!!
yeeeeoooooooooooooh!
(case, I was rolling while thinking about it too LOL)
Posted by: Siouxie | October 30, 2007 at 11:11 AM
casey - BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: DeskDiva | October 30, 2007 at 11:19 AM

Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | October 30, 2007 at 11:28 AM
*digs around in junk drawer, emerges triumphant*
Ok, I have my skate key, anybody need adjusting?
Posted by: mm | October 30, 2007 at 11:40 AM
mm, now we know that you belong in the geezer class with the rest of us.
Posted by: wickedwitch | October 30, 2007 at 11:42 AM
You want to make sure that they fit properly mm. Can you adjust mine?
Posted by: ArcticAl | October 30, 2007 at 11:44 AM
That's why kegels are not just for breakfast anymore.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | October 30, 2007 at 11:49 AM
Oh, definitely in the geezer bus with everyone else.
Al, those are ice skates. Just what were you needing to have adjusted?
Posted by: mm | October 30, 2007 at 11:49 AM
didn't this guy have a pair of these?
Posted by: crossgirl | October 30, 2007 at 11:51 AM
You know, I think he did, CG. I wonder it iShoes blow up, too.
Posted by: gjd | October 30, 2007 at 11:56 AM
uh-oh better look real close to see if there's a tiny "ACME" on the side, According to OtheU there's a catalog out with instant tunnel paint, and anvils and stuff...
Posted by: mm | October 30, 2007 at 11:57 AM

Posted by: Meanie the Blue | October 30, 2007 at 12:07 PM
Whut? I was thinkin' 'bout them cool scooter shoes or whutever...
Posted by: blurk | October 30, 2007 at 12:08 PM
Tell you what Al, if you want to bring your skate over here, I'll make sure it's adjusted to the correct length...
*grins evilly*
Posted by: mm | October 30, 2007 at 12:09 PM
Why mm I thought you'd never ask...
Posted by: ArcticAl | October 30, 2007 at 12:12 PM
skips off singing, i've got a brand new pair of rocket shoes....
Posted by: crossgirl | October 30, 2007 at 12:17 PM
Personally, I think I'd have a harder time controlling these than roller skates and the last time I had a pair of those on my feet, I wound up on my butt - or, more accurately, my elbow - with a spectacular bruise that took four days to surface. A theatre friend had a serious conniption fit when she saw it because she wanted to photograph it for stage makeup. :-\
Posted by: DeskDiva | October 30, 2007 at 12:20 PM
lmao, cg! I've had that song in my head too!
GET IT OUT!!!
Posted by: Siouxie | October 30, 2007 at 12:21 PM
at least roller skates have a toe stop for pete's sake. How do you stop these babies? I'm not feeling real comfortable with brakes. Give me regular roller skates, you could get a half decent fitted pair for that money. (Ladies - builds nice shapely leg muscles)
...i've gotta brand new pair of roller...CG!!! dern you!!
Posted by: mm | October 30, 2007 at 12:31 PM
I'm on my rocket skates to h3ll!
Posted by: casey | October 30, 2007 at 12:33 PM
You got a brand new key...
*humms along*
Posted by: ArcticAl | October 30, 2007 at 12:34 PM
Yeah, dern you, cg!
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | October 30, 2007 at 12:36 PM
You all have "Roller Skates" in your brain, I have Weird Al's "Nature Trail to Hell - in 3D!" WTF is wrong with me?
Please don't all answer at once.
Posted by: DeskDiva | October 30, 2007 at 12:36 PM
*SMACKS Meanie...again*
Posted by: Siouxie | October 30, 2007 at 12:38 PM
Course, if that song were to be written today, they wouldn't be writing about roller skates and keys iykwim.
*I think that we should get together and try them out to see...*
*SMACKS self*
Posted by: Siouxie | October 30, 2007 at 12:41 PM
*smacks Siouxie*
I always thought they were alluding to that.
*smacks blurkie just because*
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | October 30, 2007 at 01:16 PM
ow!
Posted by: Siouxie | October 30, 2007 at 01:47 PM
Sorry. I thought you liked that. At least, that's what I'd heard.
