Maybe, but still, that's wellness taken too far.  Anyway, such present definitely beats classics such as socks or slippers.

Re: On the Concept of Irony w/ Continual Reference to Caro, the #1 Sunshine Queen
Well,unlike women,I don't need a collection of footwear,but I wear my slippers even when I'm walking a block or two from my house so,if they wore out,I'd definitely appreciate replacements as a gift.Also,my feet are rather large,so they naturally put lots of wear-and-tear on socks,necessitating more of them at various intervals.
As for the book,a black American once told me that he'd heard from his mom that people who check out their bowel movements,after eliminating,have larceny in their hearts.Unfortunately,the limited space in the toilet bowl controls the dispersement of bowels and prevents us from seeing the sort of great shapes we can admire when gazing at clouds

Slipers are for Nora Batty?
Large feet as in Frodo?
The china in your Loo reflects your culture, with some designed to hide your sins and others designed to put them on full display. A philosipher could put a strong case for the link between the admiration of poo and prosperity, being that a genuine correlation exists with the openness of of bathroom china.

Wow,this is some pretty deep stuff  ...haven't met Frodo so can't comment on where I stand compared with him,but I can tell you that it's not a given that shoe stores will have anything that fits me when I walk in.Occasionally,I must special order them,though the store usually has a small selection in their very largest size that will fit me.My younger brother is two sizes larger and must get EVERY pair via special order.
I'm not sure how your bathroom/loo can put sins on FULL display unless you allow the general public free access to relieve themselves in your house  .Perhaps that was a courtesy in days of yore,but that's a tradition that most folks were probably happy to depart from

Obviously I was using the hobit as a metaphor...
Are you particularly tall also, or do you mean large relative to your height. Unless the size of your feet is disproportionate, I don't see the irony.

Think more theologically.

I think that I've caught your drift with the second part.To answer your question,I'm about 1.9 meters(1.93,to be more precise)...which isn't gigantic but,as you hinted at,normally goes hand-in-hand with having larger feet.The amusing reaction comes from the female sales clerks at the shoe stores who,upon seeing your feet,assume that EVERYthing is large...which isn't necessarily the case with all men who have big feet

Re: On the Concept of Irony w/ Continual Reference to Caro, the #1 Sunshine Queen
I forget who the Last Exorcism fan in here was but I saw that they're making a Last Exorcism Part 2.
Meanwhile I'm looking for a movie to go see.

You could go see 'Pot of Onions',but it might bring you to tears.There's another film that won't be released for several months;however,there'll be a behind-the-scenes expose' on the Hollywood Channel.It's called,'Star Wars 48:Battle of the Catheter-wearing,Arthritic Lightsaber Warriors'.....it should be a real hit with the young people

Argh...I wanted to good rep you but it wouldn't let me.
That's pretty funny.
I ended up seeing up The Last Stand. I thought it was pretty good.

You're so easygoing  that I know you won't get upset over the great majority of my smart-ass comments  .
The Abraham Lincoln movie was a good story that even people who don't care for the U.S. at all can appreciate.I also saw the Naomi Watts/Ewan MacGregor(or does he spell it 'Mc',without the 'A'?) film,'The Impossible'.It's a touching movie that's based on a true story,and it was very different for me to see ladies' man MacGregor in a humbler role as a grieving father in distress

Re: On the Concept of Irony w/ Continual Reference to Caro, the #1 Sunshine Queen
I'm going to watch a Danish movie 'King's affair'. Hope it's going to be good, I really like historical movies and costume dramas and it's been a while since I've seen a good one.

Yes, I guess that would be the right name. Having seen it now I can say it was worth my while. Really interesting story although with a sad ending. Have you seen it?

Yes. Alas I found the political bias, historical inaccuracy, and overly positive portrayal of the heroic reformist couple a little distracting. The truth is a lot more complicated and sinister.

I'm pretty sure that there are some people I know who would disagree about me being that easygoing.
I just looked it up and it's McGregor.
Those are two movies that I want to see at some point.
Naomi Watts is one of my favorite actresses.
