Other animals don’t wear shoes, except for horses sometimes, and even that’s because we make them. We’re the only ones wearing shoes. And frankly, I’m getting a little self-conscious about it. Worse still, the people who aren’t wearing shoes around here aren’t even the ones trying to act tough. The ones trying to act tough wear the thickest shoes of all of us.
counterpoint: shoes are really difficult food. little nightmare snacks strapped to one of the dirtiest parts of our bodies. in a time of emergency, you’d be singing a different tune.
