Bare Footsies

Topics: livejournal, dana

2004-05-12


**Context:** Some quiz passed around on Livejournal (some misname these things *memes* these days) that resulted in:


> Barefoot- free, rebellious, and wild, you hate

> boundries and rules. You tend to be on the

> crazy side and often sweep people up along with

> you. You are most likely the leader of your

> group of friends. [please vote! thank you! :)]

fjolublatt:


> oich, you got that barefoot-thingy too.

Me:


> yeah. it's a pity that i am usually shoed, however!

Anonymous (assumed to be creature):


> All shoes wear off sooner or later. Just have patience and do not get mad with the jokey.

Me:


> to usually be replaced by others.

Anonymous (assumed to be creature):


> At least you may hope the other pair will be more confortable.

Me:


> or hope that i am not too irritated by shopping for the new pair.

Anonymous (assumed to be creature):


> in which case you cannot blame the shoes for your goofy steps.

Me:


> i don't step. i glide.

Anonymous (assumed to be creature):


> that i knew. but i've thought you've landed meanwhile.

Me:


> gliding can be a ground (or near ground) oriented activity. that being the case, i am, yes, rather land-bound.

Anonymous (assumed to be creature):


> does landing on the ground makes one a down to earth person?

Me:


> no, but perhaps remaining on the ground does.

Anonymous (assumed to be creature):


> do you think that if 2 people land together in the same place they have a common ground?

Me:


> at the time, yes. the question is if they can maintain that common ground.

Anonymous (assumed to be creature):


> what about each of them carring around some dust from the common ground?

Me:


> purposefully or underneath their toenails?

Anonymous (assumed to be creature):


> either will do, as long as none of them minds the nails aspect.

Me:


> if the dust remains with both, whether on purpose or by accident, they are somehow bound.

Anonymous (assumed to be creature):


> i should give up washing my hands. seems this is my chance to have some connection to famous people.

Me:


> do you wish for or even require some sort of connection with famous people?

Anonymous (assumed to be creature):


> neither. I've just thought it would be fun to say i have some common ground with Elvis. Maybe I can even sell the common ground.

Me:


> capitalist!

> :(

Anonymous (assumed to be creature):


> all right, forget about Elvis. I'm willing to replace him with Mobutu Sese Seko Kuku Ngbendu wa Za Banga.

Me:


> though i have no idea who that is, i am happy you withdrew your folly.

Anonymous (assumed to be creature):


> I propose the following b-elaboration:

> he gambles on the saddle

> (it doesn't matter barefoot or with a sandal)

> he's pulling at the mane

> (is he a leader or he's just insane?!)

> he thrashes at the horse's back

> (if you ask me, he's often quite a pain in the neck)

> ambition is a bloody game

> (and yet it's hard to find for him a blame)

> Don't try to stop him when he pulls it off!
