iron rangers are for people who grew up working class looking at their parents red wing (real)work boots, then got a white collar job but don't want to completely abandon their past

so yeah it was basically a done deal as soon as i got a decent paycheck

i remember feeling kinda weird with the 1000mile and getting them because reviews were better re: durability and thinking maybe red wing quality slipped for the not-real-workboots. turned out that was not the case

i haven't washed my penis since i jerked it to a phtotograph of george w. bush in 2003
john varvatos is mostly the same imported crap you'd find in macy's, but instead you find it in nordstrom, and it's several times the price but not really any better

iron rangers are union made in america

yeah, but it was nordstrom rack. i remember being stoked because it was the first pair of "fancy" shoes id ever had. they were cause i was teaching a big lecture for the first time and wanted to look nice. they were i wanna say $120, maybe $150

i absolutely could not afford iron rangers at the time. i went to nordstrom rack to buy dress shoes and came away with those

I think nordstrom rack is like Marshalls in that it's 90% junk that is made specifically for it and 10% good quality overstock stuff so it can be a good deal but mainly only if you're willing to waste an inordinate amount of time.

Excuse me, pardon me, sheer perfection coming through
modern docs are garbo, i got a pair on markdown not that long ago and the uppers are paper thin

i have a pair of ariats i like

pair of standard yellow leather generic work boots for actually doing poo poo in

pair of oxblood blundstones i wear for everyday walking around. extremely comfortable which is hard to find since my feet are square. i guess they were trending for a bit? that was weird, i bought them when we were in newfoundland for a wedding and i’m not used to owning trendy stuff

This was the worst of it for me. I flipped between superficial chills and fever for like five hours and then I slept it mostly away. Good luck, goon.

My second shot is tomorrow and it seems like everyone, everywhere I go is getting their second shot and getting taken the gently caress out. lmao, not looking forward to it at this rate.

My parents, my brother, and my sister in-law had zero reaction to either shot though. The injection site was slightly sore for part of a day for shot #1 for me and that was it.

There's a mormon missionary house a block down from mine so every time they rotate a new set of "elders" in I have to listen to the same spiel, good times.

a friend in college did the two year missionary thing and has some wild stories of dealing with mentally unwell people, etc; he got stuck in utah

they also got served, on multiple occasions, a lime jelly tuna fish casserole that is finished with a layer of mayonnaise and shredded carrots

To be fair, half of Alabama doesn't have electricity.
