    My boyfriend's mother became concerned when we told her about our new $650 toilet seat (it heats your bum and moistens your asshole) but she spends about that much per month on gin, so fuck her. Everyone has their stupid unnecessary expenditures that they should be ashamed of. It's what makes us Americans.

      That toilet seat sounds like a bargain at half the price if it will moisten an asshole or two!

      Seriously though, I want one of those!!!

      I'm confused by that tweet. I thought he was a writer - as in, someone who has facility with words.

      If he's the next Chet Haze, then I suppose it won't be long until we hear about his secret trip to rehab and how he's been battling a cocaine an alcohol problem since the age of 16.

      He needs to explain niche fashion to you, apparently. Make that both of us, because I think they're fugly, too.

      They are hideous. I went to their website to see what other styles they have, and it only gets worse.

      I think they look like Minnetonka moccasins had sex with a pair of Clarks and this is the result.

    Right...Like anybody even really noticed homies shoes. More likely he approached everyone and was all, "want to see my $600.00 shoes?" "Hey, you ever see a pair of $600.00 dollar shoes?" Anybody notice what I have on my feet?" All the while extending his legs out to prominently display his fancy footwear.

      Maybe he just leaves the price tags on them. "Oh this, on the bottom of my shoe? Did I forget to remove the price tag? Hah how silly of me".

    Explaining niche fashion to a person who knows literally nothing on the subject is like being a senator and being asked to summarize how to pass a bill in one or two sentences.

    I'd actually argue that it's pretty easy: "I'm wearing overpriced little boy shoes because I'm a moron/ raging dickfart/ both."

      That's why he had to write about it. They didn't give him the attention he expected, so.

      Yeah, this guy reminds me of that girl at the party (she is at every party) who starts talking about her boyfriend in the middle of a discussion on music. "Yeah, my boyfriend loooooooves them. Did I mention I have a boyfriend?"

      Those shoes, like the boyfriend, never bring him up in conversation.

    This reminds me of the time my uncle asked me why I spent $1,200 on a computer I built, and why didn't I just pick up one for $400 at best buy. I told him because I use it for "fun" and saw more value in building my own with high-end parts.

    He understood, not because he understood the actual intrinsic value of what I was purchasing, but because I didn't treat him like like a moron while I fell into a pool of self doubt over my purchase.

    Seriously, if you can't explain why you bought the shoes with "Because I really like them and had the money", than you're doing something horribly wrong.

      THAT IS THE PERFECT TIME FOR A CAR ANALOGY. Like not even a little joking. It's the difference between buying an Hyundai off the lot and putting together a big block from pieces in your garage. More money and time goes into it but the end result is unmistakeably different and for a different kind of use. And nothing against Hyundai or $400 best buy computers — both have a place and a use and are fine for what they are.

      I bought a pair of $800 boots (for $110 on sale, woo!) and a few people have recognized the brand and snidely called me out about how 'rich' I must be to afford them. When they ask why I bought them I say 'because I can' and then air hump in their direction. I let them think about how such a non-classy person such as myself can own and wear a pair of rich snobby boots. Somehow, it makes me happier.

    So he is an asshole with more money then sense. Got it.

    Not sure what "stunt" he was trying to pull other than come off as a showy jackass with ugly shoes.
