A shoe emoticon should be added to the current crop of emoticons. There are a lot of off-kilter women at the AP 'Pub' demanding such action be taken. Moreover, there are probably many others that would enjoy such an addition.
I am just a humble messenger with no interest
whatsoever in shoes.
Also, all other emoticons should be eliminated.
This is a poetry site. A shoe emoticon says it all.

~Kley -
What does a shoe emoticon say? Doesn't it depend on the style of shoe? I would like to know.
-
A shoe emoticon would say "everything" or "nothing."
This would be kind of like the "0" an "1" in binary computer code.
So, if two adults fight the only emoticon choice
would be a "shoe."
That known, the only other option, to let the other know what one wants to say, would be to use words; the stuff poetry is made of. Presumably.
Now, as to varied shoe styles.... YES! I mean the
person who sent me, know only as "Sole",
says "YES!"
I am just the humble messenger.
Oh, by the way, the sandal was known in history
as "The shoe that launched a thousand ships."
-
-

You actually make a good point here. -
-
Hmmmm. What do you mean by "actually" and with an added laughing smiley to boot? You see, you could have a mocking tone and are just covering with that highly suspicious emoticon you've used there.
*shoe*
-
-
oops.
I was laughing at your comment and now I'm embarrassed at my own stupidity.
hmm. Maybe this no emoticon thing COULD get annoying.
*blonde shoe* -
-
*wrong shoe* jk lol to any blondes.
-
-
-
-
-
If the shoe fits, I hope it's on sale.
-
-
I agre...I mean Sole agrees with you.
-
-

I img src'ed it in. -
-
Hmmmm. I think I'd have to src'ed my foot into that I think. Do you have something larger, say in a 10-10 1/2 EE ? I mean Sole would that is.
And emoticons are sometimes useful! Except they all should be shoes ISHO.
-
-
c o o e l
but a heel would be more stylish
-
-
-
Boots would be good, for booting in the arse.
Pointy-toed shoes...the same. Right up the ol' keister...YOWL YOWL!
But the pretentious sandal?, I'm not sure I've any use for it.
Give me a flip flop any day!!!

signed,
emoticons are my life...
-
-
Quit buskin' my chops.... or my brain nerve center. You're emoticon addicted.
*Shoe*
-
-
I'm thinking more along the lines of a clog.
-
-
Saboteur, eh?
*Shoe* -
-
Is that a pun?
-
-
I'm unsure. A play on words more like I think.
-
-
My Germenglish was scrambling for the French there. You really had me going, whew. Been a few years since I have experienced such razor wit.
-
-
Hmmm. Flattery, aye? That emoticon makes it tough telling.
Flattery will get you somewhere with Sole, though; a pair of flats likely. Thank you.
-

-
-
-
You listen to women on the 'Pub'?
-
-
Welcome back from vacation Gio. You know they're all off-kilter, so don't front.
So, who does Barbara have to bribe around here using her own AP
points, to get a shoe emoticon? She has access to shoe emoticons, obviously. I don't think she's off-kilter, though she might be.
Pumps her for info. Gio and I will make it worth your while.
I mean Sole will.
I am just a humble messenger. -
-
Gold site members can img src pictures in...

(I have some that are not exactly g-rated... so... doubt they'll ever show up in the column)
-
-
He's just using us as an excuse. Everyone knows he wants the shoe emoticon just as much...I feel so violated.
-
-
*green strappy high heel shoe*
-
-
I'd prefer the black, if you'd be so kind.
-
-
-
-
Just a plain ol' barefoot does it for me. Who needs shoes anyway? Notice I'm not using an emoticon.
Dee
oops, forgot... purely habit I assure you -
mmmmm Catz toes. And don't think that rose emoticon
caused me to admire your toes! Although Sole appreciates it.
-

-
-
oooo urban night crawlers. Very nice. Perfect for that 3am visit
to a Payless Shoe store, and comfy enough to stand around in waiting to make bail the following morning. So I heard. Ah, so Sole tells me that is. -
-
"very nice"?

they look stinky! -
-
*shoe*
-
-
*cheese*
-
-
-
-
-
Ok, here's a selection for you, let me know what you prefer and I'll see what Kevin can do about adding one:
Heels:

Boot:
Sandal:
Sabot:
and horseshoe:
-
-
Boot!
-
Most excellent, Maatkara. I thank you. Um, I mean Sole thanks you.
So, I'll start with the horseshoe. It is unacceptable as presented. A horseshoe must be displayed with the open end up; that way the luck never runs out. Sole knows his shoes.
The boot, while a nice representation, looks a bit on the aggressive side. Which might not be so bad for two people fighting at AP. Boot after boot after boot might be fun for others to watch two or more off-kilter AP'ers go after one another with. But alas, it is not a shoe.
The sandal Sole likes. Although it is a bit small and could remind someone of a cornucopia; by someone who likes lots of shoes that is.
Then there is the Sabot. Very nice they are. But, seems to me a person might get splinters in the feet, and that may lead to 'Androcles' syndrome- or a nasty infection. Then again, they'd last a lifetime.
MMMMM that leaves the highheels. mmmmm Dyesss...
my favorites... Soles that is; remember- I am just the humble messenger.
I do like the red stiletto. But constant wearing of a stiletto heel leads to feet deformity, so I understand... so Sole understands that is. I find that they draw the calf muscle a real nice line though. *drools* I mean, Sole drools. But, most couldn't wear those so Sole thinks not. I think.
That leads me, um Sole, to the winner... ISHO.
The classy black strappy highheel. mmmmmm
Those go virtually with anything one wears and draw a nice calf line. mmmmmm
But for AP purposes they should be a nice green colour. For you see green is the colour representing "life and growth". And it is thought by some to represent "envy" and "distrust" also. So those would be perfect. They would also represent "0" and "1" in fine fashion.
Most could wear them too. Also, when two off-kilter men go at it at the 'pub' I get, I mean, Sole gets to see lots of shoes flying. A perfect solution according to Sole.
*Notice how Sole said "men". I, um, Sole does not act with stupidity. Mostly. -
ALL OF THEM!
-
-
Ah yes, I do have those heels available in green:

and red:
Oh, and of course, a horseshoe up the right way:
-
-
I love the green shoe the best myself
-
-
"Me too", says the humble messenger.
-
-
-
I say pink hightop Chucks, or, wait, a nice jesus sandal, or, the red stiletto, BOOTS! Shit-kicker boots! Stiletto boots! Thigh-high boots! Boots with spurs!...goes off mumbling...
-
I can't believe I only just found this!!
"Sole" eh? *rolls eyes*
Now go change your shirt, you've drooled on it. -
-
Bah ha ha ha ha ha. You and your off-kiltered cabal have been outflanked. *gloat*
I, I mean Sole, gives credit where credit is due though. It was your idea for a shoe emoticon. I am just the humble messenger.
*wrings shirt*
It is thought that the shoe was humankinds' first invention. Maybe.
This humble messenger, though, thinks it was actually the barcolounger.
You see Faith, the first barcolounger was nearly complete when an off-kiltered-AP-type woman sat upon it and said: "I need something
to kick off my feet to make this barcolounger perfect."....
"Start making lots of shoes Ug."
The rest is history. Poor, poor Ug. Lucky Sole. -
-

When does the foot massage come into the story? People would have had sore feet pre-shoes...but some shoes are more painful than walking around barefoot (on rocks and sharp twigs and such) so maybe the foot massage came first, but increased in popularity when the shoe came on the scene?? Pedicures probably did come after though, because why waste the time and effort on one when you're only going to get your feet scuffed up in the dirt?
I guess it's true that you can learn something new everyday.
By the way, this gloating? It appears as though YOU are gloating, humble messenger that you claim to be. Gloating on Sole's behalf, or forgetting to switch identities for a moment? Hmmmm Kley, I'm not sure I'm buying this act.
-
-
-
It figures you'd pick out the achilles heel on my slip of the tongue concerning gloating in my previous post. Observant shoe horse ya are.
Now let's not spat dear Faith. ( Get it? Get it? spat... Eh, forget it. )
*Adjusts spats*
While outflanking your cabal, I seem to have suffered a bit of a pincer movement in these size nines. Sole got a bulk discount on them. Sole is wise but cheap. I will ask him to cough up a message rider during my next contract negotiation.
Take this emoticon issue forward Faith. Its success hangs by a shoe string, of course.
-
-
What a heel.
-
-
It's the overpronation in my gait I tell ya. Wearing, true, as it makes my writing off-kilter an eyelets smidge.
-
Yes, we'd need a heel emoticon, that's obvious... stilettos, kitten, slingbacks, spikes, etc. etc. etc.
A variety of boots (some rubber boots for Toby, cowboy boots for Eric of course, and then the many many many women's styles to cquire for varying tastes)
Also, some flats, wedges, a flip flop for those requiring more comfort, sneakers when it's not flip flop weather.
There are infinite possibilities, care to add your own personal favourite Scott?
-
-
we need elf & ali-baba slippers as well *sagelynod*
-
-
oooh yes, and some of those cute little chinese ballet flat-esque ones too.
Should we cater to the masses and include the feathered heel slipper as well polly?
-
-
I've always been partial to the nekkid foot. (Not in a weird way, though.) I'm just a barefoot kinda guy.
