Pop quiz, hotshot. There's a bomb on a bus. Once the bus goes 50 miles an hour, the bomb is armed. If it drops below 50, it blows up. What do you do? What do you do?

I actually had to think about it for a second...it's been in muscle memory for so long. I do it right...I think.

I got steps 1 and 2!! I'm like you.... I have to think about it. I tie shoes at least 10 times a day and with wiggly 5-year-olds I just want to get it done quickly!! Perhaps it's my fault the dopey shoes keep coming undone.

Thanks, Chris. That's all I'm going to think about tomorrow at school..... augen rollen

I've been doing it right, but I somehow feel dumber by watching this.

My sneakers are straight-laced, and my dress shoes and boots are worn out enough that I just slide them on or off. I haven't tied a shoelace in at least a year and a half.

My son Joey works in a specialty running store. He wears these to work:

On my work-from-home days I may or may not put on shoes. Then again, on those days I'm doing good to wear more than boxers and a t shirt.

On those days I tend to work longer, stay up all night. I come out of the house around 3 to check the mail, wearing a Dorito-Dust-stained tshirt totally unshaven and unbathed, looking up at the sun like it is an evil death monster, bewildered and confused. I quickly grab what I came for and retreat back to the safe confines of my cave away from the Light Monster. The air in the cave so thick you can taste the unstained and unpainted home made bookshelves and desk. The smell of incense and the sound of Nine Inch Nails blaring through my computer speakers are enough to deter even the most curious of casual visitors. Back safe at home. The backlight from my monitors are the only photonic relationships that I have or want.

Whoa Dreamer are those real?...

And by "those" I of course mean your breasts.

No, for serious they make shoes like that? Vibram soles are my favorite for one, and for two I wanna run if I'm wearing something like that.

Vanch - Yes, they're real.

The shoes are, too. His store sells them, and Joey loves them. I think they're supposed to be a "humans were never meant to evolve into shoe-wearing couch slugs" product.

One of the best descriptions of telecommuting I've seen in a while! big grin

I've been telecommuting on this project for ... holy shit, two months now! I occasionally move from a chair with my laptop on my lap, to a desk. You know, for variety. Man, it's gonna suck having to go back to a "real" office.

Those footy shoes look ... well... interesting. There's a book on my "to read" list about a tribe of jungle people who run hundreds of miles a day and do it entirely barefoot. I think I'll try it. (Reading, that is... )
