Hopefully i've not asked this question before ???
Maybe its just me but after a gr8 nite out last nite in which jack daniels was abused to the max and in a pissed up state,deep thinking did occur!!
I'm sure its happened to you all you
1.Who am i?
2.why am i here?
3.what have i achieved?
4.who's the stig?
5.why do i own so many pairs of shoes?
6.what part of a fish does fish fingers come from?

Anyways its question 5 that got me last nite!!Yes i love my collection,i'm proud of it,took ages to amass and gives me alot of pleasure.
But what if i sold them all would the money from them benefit my life more than having 80+ boxes in my life ???
I could visit places,countries i've always wanted to go,maybe start a business,have afew more of the nice things in life.
Anyways by the time i fell into a drunken coma i still didn't know and still don't.Maybe somethings just are and they don't need to have a valid reason or purpose??or maybe i just need to lay of the jackdaniels

I hope that kinda makes sense just interested if anybody else ever looked @ there stash and thought WTF!!!!

[cracky]

why don't you just lay off the jack daniels for a bit? fuck why, ask yourself why not?

100% it would improve your life and you'd be a more rounded person for it, depending on what you did with the money.
I've been selling bit and bobs as my business will be better for it and once I have a strong business, I can always buy them back, if the mood takes me.
Now, here are you're answers...
1. Pokey.
2. Fuck knows.
3. Very little.
4. Ben Collins.
5. Cos it was a good place to put your money until you decide to sell them all and embark on a life enhancing journey.
6. The ears.

6. The ears.

that's hella funny

you need to switch from that jack to somethin clear like vodka or a clear tequila, many fewer hangovers.

I've been drinking Morgan's spiced rum for a while..really nice and no after effects(not for me anyway)..had a try of this a couple of weeks ago..way too strong for me



As for all the deep stuff..it's best not to analylse our shoe buying habits too much..

[pokey27]

pure so basically i should put it down to the devil that is bourbon and forget about it???
I just thought i'd ask just incase any1else has had these thoughts of "WHY???"

[Lorrie]

I always thought the Stig was Perry McCarthy.

[mr.pure]

Don't forget about it, you had a moment of clarity !

I think that was the old Stig.

[cracky]

Perry McCarthy revealed he was the stig in his autobiography, and was promptly sacked

Knob Creek is fucking lovely, and the name makes me laugh in a childish manner too.

[flyingcod]

Minky has the correct idea, lay of the JD and drink some proper Bourbon, none of that mass produced rubbish.

Knob Creek is very nice, as is Makers Mark, Woodford Reserve, Elija Craig, jaysus there's so many to try. A really nice one to mix with Cola/Pepsi is Jim Beam Green Label - very smooth.

I'm making it my mission in life to go to Kentucky and visit the promised land.

lol Pokey. I don't have near as many shoes as you, but lately I have been thinking at what point buying will slow down for me. 100% pure blue de agave tequila for me last night, did the job well. Just woke up with a headache though

Not a big whiskey fan personally...got deathly sick once on it

[Dirty]

I know exactly what you are talking about poke. Ive asked my self that question several times after a long nights of drinking. Lately ive started looking at my collection the way Pure puts it in his #5 answer. I see the shelf full of shoes as kind of a savings account, i know that if im in a pinch for cash I can sell off a few pairs for some quick cash (has worked for me time and time again). I know that some point in my life im gonna want to take a nice vacation or get hitched (shudders at the thought ) but I figured my supe collection could help finance one of those big expenses and I wouldn't be too upset to let em go for something like that. You are not alone in your way of thinkin pokey!

[dregz]

I sort off think about this the other way round.
My favourite tipple is Rum and my brand used to be Mount Gaye Extra Old. Now i mostly drink Ron Matusalem, but the most amazing Rum in the world is definitely Ron Zacapa Centrino 23. (Expensive as hell and real hard to get hold of)
After a night on the rum i begin to wonder how much i've ended up spending and would it have been better used as a % towards something like a fresh pair of Supes?
I reckon what ever your thing, (and for us it's Supes) as long as it isn't having an adverse effect on you or the people around you (like not feeding the kids to pick up a pair of 35th's) then there's no need to justify it.
Enjoy your collection!
