No, what I cropped was images of my young daughters. I'm a bit funny about putting pictures of my kids on public forums. I've done it, but I always feel a bit odd about it.

That makes me feel better about that black square in the middle of your daughters face.

Yeah she wasn't born with a black square face...Her Daddy makes her look that way when she's in public .

Think the sword cane was a replica, but was a sword in a walking stick, saw it at Vic markets in Melbourne.

Same here. I thought he was a cute little brown and white puppy dog...

Yes, but I DID consider melting the wax into a bowl and dipping the laces in...

Bugger! Best I make my own then.

One of those days that lady wanted to get to the city, there's summer sales going on, and for reasons i will probably never learn to understand she wanted me to get along.

Long story short: While spending my time here and there, checking my wristwatch over and over again, encouraged by these recent conversations (ha, they had such a negative effect after all), i decided to check men's clothing and saw shoes at Stockmann's (one of those 'better' department stores) that i believe were these.

I have no use nor need for such boots but as the price was reduced from about 250€ to 95€ i thought about buying for a second or two. I didn't, but actually they looked ok.

Elephants two for a quarter is only a good deal if you need two elephants and have a quarter!

If it's the size that matters, as i tend to believe with this case, there's no need to worry at all: there's always us earthlings ready to give useful and decent recommendations on how to get the missing inch. To gain some tallness i mean. We call such gentlemen as 'barrel plugs' and the most notieable politiness, upon meeting such person here, is to say: 'hey the beer is flowing aground while you are standing there'

Here's where fashion steps forward to shake hands with ergonomy and convenience. And man does it do it with style. The first option is maybe for more formal and social ceremonies while the second suits better for running wild with the kangaroos.
