I was in a department store in the mall and these were pretty much the only style of women's heels they carried. Can't remember which store now, but they didn't have much of a shoe section. Just these then men's shoes.

Kinja is an open format. Write your blogs and collect money from advertisers.

Someone named bin Laden building an immensely tall superstructure? No possible way that could backfire for him, right?

I'm curious as to who has the most to gain from increased conflict between the US and N. Korea. If ISIS, for instance, were to stir up enough bees, it could distract from their efforts, especially if they poked N. Korea enough to attack our forces on their border. That would be a slaughter and it would help anyone…

I recently re-watched Team America and I appreciated it much more 10 years later than I did when I first saw it. Of course, I understand a lot more about the topics it tackled now than I did then too.

I wanted to read the story, but it's behind a pay-wall.

Maybe, but I also worked in restaurants for many years, and my taste buds were only atrophied to the flavors that I recreated multiple times every single day.

Frito tacos are a no-brainer. Dorito tacos were/are the terrible idea.

As a consumer of pot cookies, I call BS on the first story. All the MJ infused baked goods I've consumed have had a very distinct and recognizable flavor. And the last time I ate a single entire cookie like that I was so stoned I thought I would die. I learned that that particular baker made really potent cookies…

Compassion is telling these men that there's nothing wrong with them. To balance that you have to point out exactly what and why the things their religion teaches are wrong. You can call that bashing religion, but that's kind of a narrow view of it.

It's not illegal when the government does it.

It just means fewer people getting married for the wrong reason. An increase in safe pre-marital sex would probably also lead to lower marriage rates.

I worked at a Hardees when I was in HS in the mid-90s and my manager broke labor laws every damn night.

Well, I did see body disposal as a silver lining, especially if I were a serial killer. However, my thought was more along the lines of "recycling" the dead. We can't ceremoniously bury our dead in 8' x 4' x 6' plots forever. At some point we run out of room in the ground (and already have in some places).

The same device could disassemble anything put on it too and put the recovered atoms into the materials store.

I think "ingenious" carries the correct connotation when compared to "genius." On the other hand, maybe that's just how I perceive the difference in the words.

What I really want to know is: Why did so many people who I grew up with in a small central IL town have that southern accent? I lived 3 hours south of Chicago, which is still about 3 hours north of SIU. The Amish that lived nearby didn't have that accent. People in the cities 30 minutes in any direction didn't…

Apparently I'm really bad at geography. *New Guinea* is north of Australia, not New Zealand. I thought you were making a joke about the intelligence of the people who live north of Australia. I guess I'm too used to the snark on the gawker network.

Wait, is that a stab at New Zealand?

Do you also cringe when someone calls their spouse/partner "pumpkin" wondering if they're talking about their shape or their sweetness?
