Man, I almost killed myself tonight in this f---ing snow. At least four or five times while walking the two blocks to get home, I swear, my feet just went OUT from under me, but right at the last possible second I caught myself before I went flying ass over tea kettle.
Hmmm...ass over tea kettle...is that a saying?
Last winter I fell one day on the way out to do laundry...holy **** it hurt so much. I was going down the stairs in my building, and I slipped on a puddle--my ass came down HARD on that f*cking step. **** that hurt. I had to sit there on the stairs and recover for a couple minutes it hurt so bad.
I think that might be the way I'm going to die one day. I'll just f*cking slip in the snow and my head will crack open on the pavement and my brains will ooze out the back of my head like egg yolk. F*cking winter.
Damn! I never used to be all "slippy" like this in the snow. Not until I moved to New York. Is it all this damn cement? What gives? I don't get it. Do I need to get some special shoes now? Am I becoming uncoordinated?
Or is New York just a very very slippery place?
I dunno, I slip here and there, but I rarely come close to falling. maybe it's you. Perhaps some better shoes? What kind do you wear?
You need to put some chains on your shoes.
Shoes, man. I have a pair of shoes like that, I can barely walk in.
I just looked out the window...covered in snow, and I have a 10am appt. an hour away(in good weather w/o traffic), maybe have to cancel, dammit.
Kicky, you are so cute and if I were thirty years younger, but I digress..having just read part of your other thread---have you finally had any good sex???? Maybe your clumsiness is do to being so distracted by your horniness. Hmm, that sounds like I was addressing a pope or some kind of royalty, "Pardon me, your horniness."

Can I point out that in no way does this actually aid Kicky in walking down the street and chewing gum at the same time (the real cause of his 'problem'). It will, however, cause him to RUN down the street to book a ticket to Diane's hometown. That could be fatal.........

Me too SlapDog....... Oh, I am SO sorry that it's because I have been wearing these shoes to the pub and drinking to excess because of the brilliant hot, sunny weather here in Sydney, Australia today!!!
...like NOT!!
Whatever you do don't drink and walk home. I've twisted ankles and stuff while walking drunk. No weather related injuries though. and sometimes I wake up after getting drunk with fresh bruises I don't remember feeling the day before.
Yeah, but when you're drunk, it's actually kinda funny and doesn't hurt as much or not at all, depending on how drunk you are.
Kicky
Get some good winter shoes. Hey, I should invent shoe studs like the ones I have on my tires. I could make millions :-D
or you could wear cleats ;-)
its NY.
the last time i slipped on ice was the early 90's in mineola, NY.
haven't done the tea-kettle thing since we moved to new england, and there's been plenty of slippable ice to choose from...
How abt putting chewing gum at the soles of yr shoes
Seriously man, I know the feeling. Here in London we rarely get snow, but a lot of rain. And since I take the public transport to work, I have had very many instances where I have come close to making an ungracious landing on my pert bum..
Specially when I wear shoes with leather soles.
Aah, some interesting theories here. But I think it's just that New York is a very slippery place.
As for my shoes, I don't know what the hell kind of shoes I wear...the cheapest ones that I can find at Payless? Okay, the last pair I bought was not a cheap-o Payless pair, but I do like the cheap shoes. The shoes I was wearing yesterday in this crap are the ones that I had re-soled a couple years ago. It must be the leather soles combined with the slippery nature of Manhattan.
I'm NOT getting old and uncoordinated!!!
Okay, I'm going out in the snow right now. If I don't make it back, I want you all to know I love you.
Leather soles? Leather soles, in snow? Geez, no wonder!
Get something rubber, with traction.
Not making a comment as to fashion, but something roughly like this:
Diane is right Kicky,
lack of sex makes you loose your balance. You have too much fluid in the base of your torso , it causes you to loose your center of gravity.
I bit it the other day Kicky, on our porch. Tripped on the step, caught myself as I was falling, stepped on a newspaper in a damn plastic bag they had thrown on the porch, and went down. BAM! I had my arms full so there was no way to catch myself with my hands. Fell smack on my elbow. Scratched it all up and bruised it. Owie.
Don't feel bad. I almost fall a lot. I think it's becasue I am oblivious to the world sometimes.
I don't think kicky has "too much fluid in the base of his torso", shewolf. :wink:
