The Hundreds presents CORGISHOE

This guy needs some professional help.

With a collection topping off in the thousands, Corgishoe is sneaker subculture’s very own Imelda Marcos. Perhaps the sickest thing about the kid is that he doesn’t wear any of his shoes (he’s usually sporting the same beat-up pair of New Balances), doesn’t sell them (don’t even ask), and after he purchases ‘em, chances are he’ll never see em again as they are thrown into the dizzying orange-and-brown madness.

HotAIR - Apples and Oranges — A Comparison

We have all been present at discussions (or arguments) in which one of the combatants attempts to clarify or strengthen a point by comparing the subject at hand with another item or situation more familiar to the audience or opponent. More often than not, this stratagem instantly results in the protest that “you’re comparing apples and oranges!” This is generally perceived as being a telling blow to the analogy, since it is generally understood that apples and oranges cannot be compared. However, after being the recipient of just such an accusation, it occurred to me that there are several problems with dismissing analogies with the comparing apples and oranges defense.

Guide to Flaming - Home Page

Flaming is one of the curses of the internet - and yet how many people who have ever joined in a discussion can say they have never flamed - or at least been tempted? First, you read something really stupid, then you think of a neat response … before you can say “What have I done?” the message has been posted; you are in a Flame War (see Definitions).
