I've driven several times bare foot.  Very comfortable.

I've never had any problem with it either.

You could say the same about most cars

I didn't say anything about cars one way or the other. My point is that equating bicycles to shoes doesn't work very well.

Well I said tools or shoes, I think it works well in the sense I'm talking about it, that you need a different type of shoe for different journeys/terrain; it's not my problem that some posters here can't imagine a world without the gas pedal.

Oh, yeah, if that's the argument, that definitely makes sense.

Yes, that was my original point, though ironically because I only ever cycle everywhere, I actually only ever use one type of shoe.

One of my uncles also gave me my late grandfather's bolt-action Remington 700 7mm magnum hunting rifle (with scope).

Cheaper than coal, was it?

Tell me more.

The two most useful - widely applicable, and money-saving - home repair skillsets you can have are basic carpentry and basic plumbing.

Oh, also, the third skill - basic tree care. If you own a house and you don't manage your trees, they will definitely manage you.

Does chopping them all down and burning them count as managing?

[BuddhaRhubarb]

I got Fat(ter). :p

half a PS3. (gift cert covered half)

Same.

Day after Christmas, ate at Mellow mushroom.  Got food poisoning for Christmas.  After two days of eating only crackers and plain yogurt, I LIVE!

[Ideologue]

Hope you feel better.

I never really liked the Mellow Mushroom all that much.  The one here is overpriced and overcrowded.  They never tried to kill me though.

Yes, although it's a bit like using a sledgehammer to swat a fly.

EDIT: Plus, who the fuck wants their house to look like they live in Singapore?
