    I'm sure C. Zeta Jones could read the ingredients of yogurt and you'd find it sexy.

    I suspect you're right!

    The term "kicks" was being tossed around when I was in high school. It annoyed me then. Some terms are just too annoying to be cool, and "kicks" is one of them. These annoying buzz-words do serve a purpose, however. It allows the rest of us to identify our mental inferiors quickly and efficiently. I know, for instance, that if I hear some dullard refer to their footwear as "kicks", there is no need in engaging him or her in any meaningful conversation. I will simply ask that individual to give me french fries with my combo.

    On the other hand, I think I have the potential to be super-cool. Therefore, I am going to experiment by comming up with new idiotic names for my footwear. "Foot-holster" is one the comes to mind. How about "walks"? Or "stands"? How about "foot-box"? Or "Toe Condom"? I wonder if any of these will stick?

    I realized that I was listening to talk radio too much and didn't know new songs anymore. It's hard to get back on that boat.

    :about 18 years old said "They mean shoes." I was shocked. Lingo that I hadn't heard, and that annoyed the hell out of me. Why don't they just say "shoes" instead of morphing the word "kicks?" Then, I staggered back in my chair and went limp jawed, thinking "Am I over the hill?"

    We called shoes "kicks" in the early 1960s. Nothing has changed.

    We all go over the hill. When I started out the beatles were cool and the stones were radical.

    Now they make music you cant even hum.
