Commentary regarding Barefootedness...

People just can’t help themselves, there’s always a comment. So far I’ve heard-

“That looks cold.” I just smile and continue on my way.

“Bare feet are sinful.” (really don’t understand that one?) I respond “Not according to Christ.

“You know people spit where your walking/running, right?”. I usually just say Yup.

“Do you enjoy cleaning dog s**t off your feet?”. I couldn’t help but ask that guys wife why she lets him walk in dog s**t with his shoes since he’s obviously speaking from experience. And for the record I haven’t had any dog s**t mishaps yet.

“Aren’t you worried about germs?”. My reply is usually “Yes, that’s why I don’t like wearing shoes.”. That one always baffles them.

“That looks dangerous.”. A shrug and a smile seems like response enough, I don’t have time for a debate.

“You’re crazy!”. My wife agrees.

I imagine there’s more to come...

I totally get that. I rarely get comments about me being barefoot in a negative way.

Up until now I've only had the "aren't you cold" / "doesn't it hurt" range of comments, but yesterday my repertoire expanded.

Running through the park past a pétanque game, I politely said "good evening" as I passed, and got the reply "Ça court en sandelettes". Literally - "It's running in sandals" (I discussed this with my French husband and we couldn't find a good translation to English). I would have stopped to explain, I didn't think they'd be receptive somehow.

A minute later, I came up on two older ladies. As they didn't seem to have heard me, I announced myself well in advance with a jolly "good evening", and they jumped out of their skin... I got them again on the other side of the park too. Hurrah for ninja-sandalette-girl :blackalien:

I also managed to startle a one-eyed chihuahua, who growled at me.:matey:

Finally, coming back, I heard a car following me slowly. I turned to look and the guy was hanging out the window watching either my Xeros or my backside... Creepy. :wtf:
 
So something like this TJ...

I saw the link to get this when I was looking at the site on my phone earlier today, but I can't seem to find it now (on my computer). I might still come across it, but in case I don't will you (or someone reading this) post a link to it?

I doubt I'll have any problems in this area, but it would still be fun to have the card.
 
Hi Random, Do you mean you would like the artwork for this? It's in post #20 of this tread.
