Why thank you Iggy! I was just waiting to be invited to reply, and as the instruction above my entry states, “Speak Your Mind”, I’ll shall do so, at the risk of being embarrassed (not likely as the threshold is way way high) or being censored (which, as far as I know, has not happened yet…I know…that’s unbelievable!). So, to the task at hand….
Loopy, are you the author of this quote? You are, after all, Italian, are you not? So you are, to some degree, a direct author via heritage. It seems that what is being alluded to here is that it would be better to be, um, “exposed”, and comfortable in footwear, than to be well dressed but not well heeled. I must agree with covering the feet properly, as we have seen the results of Forrest being well dressed, but not being well heeled (Mt Greylock pictures clearly show this, and I’m sure Forrest will attest to this with a loud and enthusiastic, “AMEN!”).
Historically I have also noted streakers from the past being more successful in covering good distances for proper celebrating and visual fan appreciation when wearing a study pair of sneakers. So evidence would indicate authentication that the Genoans are indeed insightful, if not also a bit luridly sensual. We also have in our own midsts our own Ultra, whose avatar defines what is being discussed here.
So Loopy, I’m all for “showing it” in the spirit of good foot health care. I congradulate you on such a daring idea, and would be happy to participate in supporting you by FOLLOWING you as you lead a run to endorse your exceptional Thought For The Day. Might I offer that you call it “The Genoan Three-Sheets-To-The-Wind Run”, with a disrobing of the bed linens that cover the naughty bits, and perhaps some imbibing of happy drink along the way (think John Belushi from “Animal House”… “TOGA! TOGA! TOGA!”). Planning for such an event should appropriately revolve around a full moon, and a thin barrier of body glide would be suggested to protect the more sensitive areas from wind burn. Oh, and by all means, buy a new pair of running shoes!
Why must you always provoke? Surely you must have known that there is a full moon on Saturday, and that someone would be planning a Full Moon Run! It will be the Full Sap Moon, celebrating the exceptional bounty that CT maple syrup producers are experiencing this year. It is also a SUPERMOON, a new-to-me concept describing a full moon that is coincident with the moon’s perigee. It is known to exhibit exceptionally strong tidal effects, with the attendant impacts upon the tides, tectonic plates, and the psyche. At any rate, it would appear you have set the theme and/or dress code, for said run. I ASSume that you are volunteering to lead.
A simple “AMEN” is all I expected from you. Never ASSume, for you know where that leads. Speaking of leading, I think I made it quite clear who should be doing that! As for the timing, I think this weekend is too soon, so never mind challenging us to a “Super Sappy Ass Run” . 3 Sheets would need to be marketed far more by the Italian swirly one!
OMG… hahahahahah… never let some one else post your quotes… especially via txt….
The proverb should actually read: “It is better to wear OUT one’s shoes than one’s sheets”… which would have made for far more hilarious comments…
This is what happens when the morning starts with chaos and the chaos lasts throughout the day… I never got to check the quote I only saw a couple comments via email which I did not quite understand and NOW i know why!!!
Snobody?

Oh yea, are the Genoans famous for their salami’s? Perhaps a run for another day! 😉

Oops, isn’t what you meant Loopy! Must have been the ‘censors’ at work 😉
