Random Shoe Sightings

DSCN8405, originally uploaded by Prince of Petworth.

We’ve all heard the rumors/urban legends of what it means when shoes are thrown over telephone wires. So I guess this one was sent as a message by Long and Foster…

This one was even odder:

I swear that was not staged. That was exactly how I saw it. I shudder to think what it may mean. Any ideas?

  • not telling

    it means someone was really really drunk when they walked home.

  • Bloomingdale

    RuPaul and the Washington Times have teamed for an exciting new marketing campaign…

  • 14th n' otis

    Yeah, this had to be some kind of incident involving a drag queeen.

  • nofictiondc

    I suspect it’ the Rapture, and the owners have been swept away.

  • Fonzy

    Did anyone see an Amazon woman missing a heel yesterday? The picture makes the shoe look like a size 13…

  • New Hampy

    i’m with fonzy. not sure if it’s an optical illusion by some trick of the camera or if the shoe really is that big. if that shoe is for a woman, it’s freakishly large!

  • christopher

    nofictiondc, wouldnt that mean that said owner was standing on top of the times box, totally nude except for that one shoe? man, christians are WEIRD!

    With home prices in the neighborhood off 30% and nobody buying, sellers are getting desperate. This one is offering a pair of early-80s sneakers with purchase, hoping to reel in the hipster market.

    the Long and Foster comment is the funniest thing i’ve ever read on this blog

  • Sully

    I felt like doing that to my Miu Miu’s last night after the Caps game. I had to take them off and walk a block that was not fully covered in glass. Where are the bike taxis when you need them? Nice shoe though.

  • IHeartShaw

    Too funny. I lost one shoe of my fav pair during an escapade in college and searched the street for days in the hopes I would reunite the two. No dice. I hope it ended up like that one.

  • Jessica

    What is the urban legend about shoes over telephone wires?

  • Anonymous

    wow. now that is one big hooker!
