IN THESE SHOES?
Friday, July 27, 2007 at 10:25AM Here's a great image care of the most excellent Jawa report and a telling commentary..
"An image of Abdullah Mehsud in an interview with reporters in 2004. A former Guantanamo Bay prisoner released after he was found not to be a threat, and who later returned to Pakistan to become an important Taliban leader involved in multiple attacks against US and Afghani forces, died today after blowing himself and several companions up when they were surrounded by Pakistani forces"
Yes, but in THOSE shoes? Where o where were the Taliban fashion police?

Some times poor people cant afford matching shoes,
is it pleaseing to our sense of moral superiority to mock them on these grounds - or was it a slip of the tounge ?

Juan,
Hilarious!
It's the pair of Richard Reid's exploding shoe, - it seems this one worked!
EY: Great gag!
I rather liked the critical stance body language of the associate in the photo.
Perhaps I understand the enemy too well but I could see the thought in his mind...
'What a plonker! At least my trainers are cool...<pause>... Allah be praised for my fashion sense of course...'

'Oh, hang on a sec, my trainers are a product of the idolatrous enemy...I shall declare jihad on my shoes!!'
The muzzle of the Kalashnikov swings down...
I suspect he had another pair just like them.
And I must ask, where his last words "Can you hear me now?"
Mahons,
Did that ad irritate you as much as it did me? - every day, every station, every interval, - and I still don't know what it was for!...
Ernest: Yes sir it did.
Wasn't it Verizon?
Yes. But I didn't want to give them a plug.
No need for a plug...'twas Verizon Wireless after all.:)
"Let's dance, put on your odd shoes, and dance........
I'm stealing a most excellent comment from someone else!
Just showed the pic to my 8 year old, he thought the guy was a girl. He said "He standing like a woman."

Great stick-on beard though.
They probably have an account with the acknowledged masters of makeup - the BBC.
Makeup can of course be read in a number of different senses.:)
Jeff,
Is that the same stick-on beard that Brian's mother was wearing in the stoning scene in the Life of Brian?
