Which snail goo? I got one a few months ago and havent had luck with it, but mine also exploded during shipping (amazon refunded it) so maybe it got.... contaminated or something who knows I may have just bought a crappy brand.

I was thinking 'that is a really off-putting brand name,' and searched for it on amazon. I would not have guessed that people spend money on actual snail slime so they can rub it on their face.

The cosrx 92% stuff. It could also explode just from pressure changes in transport is my guess. It is mostly water.

I'm gonna be honest, half the appeal for me is thoughts of little snail farms. Apparently the brand I bought just turns the lights out and comes back to pick up the goo in the morning, which is super cute. As opposed to doing anything mean to them.

Actual snail trails, trailed by actual snails.

(I got the 92% reviewed here)

There's a lot of bs that goes around in skincare but as a moisturizer it's pretty legit stuff.

She uses this one, Mizon Snail Repair Cream. Contrary to the name it's not for repairing snails. It's 92% as well.

I'm a pinko commie city boy but there is something about cowboy boots that I really like. I've never owned a pair out of fear that I'm going to look like Ted Mosbey.

I thought the same thing at first but did it anyway. I get compliments all the time and was not anticipating that whatsoever. The first week wearing these flat out sucked because the leather was stiff, but going on the third week the leather has molded to my feet and I love wearing them. If you have the cash and want something different buy a good pair and they'll last a lifetime. These Boulet's cost just shy of $200.

I don't see why not. I've read people throw in Superfeet in theirs but haven't found the need to do so. If you're serious I'd go to a place that sells boots and try them out with your insoles, or email the company if you find a pair you like and ask. Western/Cowboy boots fit weird at first as there is some slipping in the heel which goes away once they are broken in, but it's like that for any leather boot really so keep that in mind.

Get some Chelsea boots, it's a similar feel but the lower/slimmer shaft will look better in your slim jeans.

The only good reason I heard for spending money on chelsea boots was this fat santa claus looking dude saying it was easier for him to not have to bend over to lace his boots. They're about as ugly as those clarks desert boots goons fawn over.

I feel like we disagree here, though I feel like desert boots are getting a bit played out

That will never get used because it's impossible to put a decent amount of force on a flimsy tool like that. Someone got me similar years ago, they're poo poo.

I get gifted that sort of thing all the time because I like tools. If it were 3 times as big it might be a cool camping tool, but I can't even hammer small nails into a stud without just getting out my adult hammer.

I got a pair of cowboy boots when I was like 20 and wore them to the point of needing to have a new sole put on them. They were lovely leather but were perfect for winter in a city full of potholes. I got a far nicer pair of Tony Llamas a few years ago but once I discovered skinny jeans I never wear them anymore.

Also I bought a laptop, or I think I did. It's been like 36h and Dell has yet to charge my card.

It's actually a matter of judging the cover by the book. Those books deserve the crazy fantasy mural artwork, not the dumb font/primary colours/one picture cover.

Pants are best slim cut and stretchy, and I wanted a laptop with a discreet video card. Pickings were very slim in the latter category.

I know I'm in the minority, but I honestly hate the Josh Kirby covers. Not saying that the "minimalist" covers are outstanding works of art, but they leave some room for curiosity ("Why the hell does Santa have tusks on this book?"). The Kirby covers are just so busy and so genre-centric that people who might otherwise like the books, I've found, pass them by on the shelf because they look like little D&D manuals.
