Poll question: Does McPOW Own More Houses Than You Own Pairs Of Shoes?
Edited on Sun Aug-24-08 07:38 PM by BlooInBloo
Question inspired by:

http://www.americablog.com/2008/08/john-mccains-family-owns-more-homes.html

For my part, I only have 4 pairs of shoes. So McPOW owns more houses than I do shoes.




EDIT: Screwed up the 'yes' answer.

3. Yah - I figured there would be a certain amount of gender-difference for this.

5. My wife would be considered as bad as Emelda Marcos

except for the fact that she loves shoe sales, not incredibly expensive shoes.

2. Gee,I only have 2 pairs of shoes...
One for summer and the other is more like light short boots for winter.

9. I think I have 20 pairs of the perfect black boots alone
Not to mention the perfect black pumps
the wedges, flipflops, at least 2 pair of pool shoes, you have to look long and hard for highheeled pool shoes, an absolute must

You can never have too many strappy sandels
and tennis shoes so you can wear comfy shoes while you shop for more shoes

11. Do slippers really count?
You can't really wear them out of the house. So I wouldn't count them.

12. I wear them out to get the mail
:shrug:

I just wanted it to be known that I can remember all of my shoes and how to count them, even if I can't remember much of anything else. It's sad that McCain can't remember something as big as a house. Tsk tsk.

15. If that is all it takes to have more shoes than McCain has houses then I must be in the "over"
category.

18. What about moccasins

19. Wait a minute ... that depends ...
is there a final count on his houses?

If you're counting the shoes that I use to do yard work in, then I MIGHT pull even with McClame ... barely ...

20. I definitely have more shoes that McSame has houses...
but I have a good excuse. In addition to being female (the natural excuse for lots of shoes), I happened to work for a nationally known women's footwear company for 6 years, and got my shoes for next to nothing - like 80+% off at the corporate sample store. Loved that job.... ;)

26. I own WAYY more shoes than McCain has houses. They are OLD shoes, too!
I just can't let go of the old shoes.

I never wear them, but I always think that someday I will.

Why throw away perfectly good but old shoes?
