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?

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

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!

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.

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.

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.
