CAPTION CONTEST #2

since the last one was so popular (and hilarious pour moi), i give you the next caption contest.

very few people actually look UP while walking around town - and not that i blame you. diverting one's gaze leaves one at the mercy of any number of terrible dangers: pigeons, hobos, born-again christians. but, were you to scan the skies, you'd see this:



really, shoes? why shoes? and they're not just at my apartment. oh no, they're all over town, all tossed over telephone wire or power cables. is this part of some niche sub-culture? hazing ritual? an excuse to get a new pair of converse?

my offering: hamilton's holiday decorating budget hits an all-time low.

"Ahhh, Hamiltonians like Filipinos don't wallow in what is miserable and ugly. They recycle the bad into things of beauty. Do those come in a size 8 1/2"?

'Shoes on a wire', sounds like a bad movie or something with a double meaning.

"After falling out of the plane, he thought he was a goner untill his shoes caught on a telephone wire....its too bad he didnt tie a double knott!"

OR

"After the doors of Hamilton didnt work, the city council thought they would take a stab at the shoes of hamilton"

Shoe pick-up lines #527

*voice of British anthropologist*

The male shoe must impress the female shoe by imitating her every movement. He must prove himself worthy by displaying his acrobatic skills.

Soon they are involved in a mating dance - note the flash of red! The female uses this to indicate that she is in heat, and that she thinks the male worthy to father her shoe-lings.

When the female has finished mating with the male, she uses her claws to snap the male shoe strings, and he plummets to his death.

You've uncovered Hamiltons latest surveillance system. Notice how the shoes are facing opposite directions? They see you coming and going!
Alas....the difference between being well-heeled or having a shoe-string budget to work with.
SHHH...do you hear the tongues wagging?

A desperate attempt to escape a desperate situation, until the escapee realizes that the wire is not on enough of an angle to make any progress, and thus plunges to the ground. These shoes are all that was left behind.
