Always able to cut through the unimportant crap, and stick to things that matter. The history of this thread is, well, history. It is there for all to see and remember. But we have evolved past that, and onto fashion design and shoes. Thank you for noticing Nina, Fabi, and future posters.
Here's to brother Nick, the founder of the feast.

I know that war and politics are not supposed to be a part of this thread, but I don't think that some people here, especially fans of American Football, will mind this.
RIP Pat Tillman :down:

The other thing is, is that once he enlisted onto the US Rangers, you never heard from him again. He didn't use his stardom and wealth to publicize himself for doing this at all. He did this for the love of his country.
The attacks on 9/11 no doubt changed the lives of millions and affected us in some way, but how many people were so changed by what happened that they gave up the life and millions of a professional athlete, a life that admittedly 99 % of the rest of the world will never get to experience, for an 18 thousand dollar a year job in the most elite company in the Army?
Only one that I can think of. Pat Tillman.
An incredible story, a great soldier, and a tragic way for it to end.
I'm not saying that he is better than your average Joe Blow who dies in the line of combat. He is not, but he IS different, for the reasons that I had stated earlier.
I've always had a hard time calling athletes Heroes, Role Models, or what they do on the field of play Heroic, but I have finally found a role model that my children, when I have them, should they decide to use an athlete as a role model, aside from their parents and teachers of course, that I would completely agree with.

OP
Why does Padovano know so much about womens shoes? Sick fuk.
Why is it that Sergio is always one step behind: 49ers...Habs...right on. Juve, Dodgers: Go see a shrink.
Why is it that Graham (after scolding him) makes you feel like you just told off someone in traffic only to realize its someone you know.
Why is it that Nina only posts 5 words every 10 days?
Why is it that Vilhelmas is such a prick?

Nick, it's not just shoes, it's everything! But, you have to admit, without the right shoes there is no sense in even getting dressed.
Sergio, I am so sorry -- I dropped the keys to executive washroom in the toilet. I guess the President of the W.B.T.Y.A. is going to have to duck behind the building and urinate into a balloon.
