(The Angels Wanna Wear My) Red Shoes

The fashion page of December's issue of Playboy magazine features a pair of shoes whose price is listed as $1330. Hold on, $1,330. It looks more expensive with the comma.
So, I went looking for the most expensive pair of shoes I could find. I went to a place on teh intarwebs from which I had purchased shoes myself.

I found these:

Here are some customer comments regarding these shoes:

"Perhaps the best shoe ever made! This shoe is simply stunning - it will leave you breathless. No other shoe even comes close - you just float in these. Get rid of all your other shoes, and keep just this one[sic]."

"Great price, a must have!! This shoe is awesome. It feels like your[sic] walking bare foot[sic] through a garden."


Would you care to take a guess as to the price of these shoes?
Let's do it Price is Right style--the closest without going over.

Game Theory

I really enjoy a good national election with its exit polls and intrigue. I enjoy the anticipation that comes with election day. Waiting for results, witnessing the thrill of victory or the agony of defeat. Politics is so much more successful as a sport or a strategy game. Or simply the reality Tv show it so desperately wants to be, rather than that which ultimately decides the fate of millions.
Episode 3 is now available.
