Batty Boyz…
Thursday, February 3rd, 2011
Who put the nipples on Batman’s suit?
DOOM – ‘Batty Boyz’
Batman’s relationship with the Boy Wonder has always made him suspect in the eyes of many as being a grade-A fruitstick. I think Superman peeped his steez early and tried to turn him out, but Batman always kept mad tricks up his sleeve (literally) and ended up making Superman his bitch.
This is what DOOM was spitting about. You might wanna say six pauses real loud and cross your heart before you continue reading this drop. No, but really…
Okay, so before I even read you the dialogue just peep the key Superman is holding. I think he is gonna try to ‘key’ Batman.
Superman: An evening here will do us good I think, especially in view of how we’ve grown closer these pat few months
Batman: True. I feel we can now discuss almost anything with each other
Superman: And since we sense trouble in each other why don’t we shars the burdens. You start Batman
Ha. Superman try’na gass Batman to come out first.
Inside the fortress of Solitude…
Batman: You knew?! But how could…
Superman: I suspect friend that we could both use some solitude, but I think too that it would be better if neither of us spent this night alone.
Batman: You’ll get no argument from this quarter Superman and since I’m hardly in the mood for the company of drafts and bats… Let’s go!
Tough guys shake hands.
Superman: We fit each other like hand and glove
The narrator lets us know they held hands for a ‘long time’.
Here is the aftermath from that night in the fortress.
Batman: Tell hiim, tell him I’m not in.
Alfred: As you wish sir. I’m sorry Mr.Kent, Mr.Wayne, that is to say…
Superman: It’s okay Alfred. I understand.
Batman is cold as ice. Superman just ain’t his type.
That tear running down Superman’s cheek is classic.

The Compass Trade Show Recap…
Thursday, February 3rd, 2011
The Compass footwear trade show assembles premiere footwear brands to point you in the direction of what they are releasing next. I had to attend the show specifically to meet some reps from Timberland and tel them about my passion for their products. It turns out that they already knew who I was. Awesomeness.
There were so many other brands displaying innovative and classic styles of footwear. All they need is for KanYe West to rock a pair of their shoes for their market share to skyrocket. I’m not saying that Dallas Penn can’t do for them what a high profile rapper does for brand recognition but I will admit that I talk to people on this page who are more into getting shit for free.
Speaking of free, cocotaso, hit me up to make sure that I have your current snail mail address. I have an Abington wallet for you courtesy of Timberland. Anyone else want a wallet (I have 2 more)? Just send me a pic of your favorite Tims and I got you. So now let me get on with recapping the show…
Creative Recreation was in the building. I didn’t know they also made footwear for hussies and tramps? Awww sookie, sookie.
This brand was called Miss Trish Splash. I think they were Japanese. I thought it was funny that they only made flip-flops and mukklukk boots. This shit is so Jersey shore they need to have Snooki as their spokesmodel.
Ted Baker of London appealed to my inner dandy and my outer hardbody hiker and outdoorsman.
Look at Rockport stepping their game up. This brand isn’t just making grandpa’s walking shoes any longer. LOL
Chippewa boots are super well made (in the U.S. no less). Check them out for motorcycle boots. I feel like they are picking up where the Frye brand left off.
I’m trying to copp a pair of these classic Warrior tennis shoes to add to my summer khaki swag.
Timberland had the best booth in the show and I’m not being partial to them because I own so many pairs. Their shoes are simply the best made for your dollar. Handsewn, bench-made quality at a mass production pricepoint. You feel the leather of their products and you know it is a premium good. If you are into that sort of thing, and I am.
I NEEEEEEEED those suede 7-eye chukka in the background of the last pic. They were the butters.
I fell in love with these baby suede saddle shoes. I can see my seed rocking the sit down teddy bear sweater with some khakis and these kicks.
