Sir Canvas Corpsey · 05-20-2009, 02:07 AM

Indeed, but time spent being creative with insults towards Catch is time better spent on my college work.

Whenever I get my ass to Japan be it for work or for a holiday, you and I should hit up Electric Town or some place fun like that.

viscus · 05-20-2009, 02:12 AM

You mean Akihabara in Tokyo? I'm kind of on the other side of the country. However, Osaka (2 hours away from me) has its own Den-Den Town which is reasonably similar, and a slew of other cool areas to hang out it. On the whole, I like Osaka better than Tokyo.

Sir Canvas Corpsey · 05-20-2009, 02:16 AM

Good to know, I adore Japan but I'm clueless on the finer details like geography, and if I'm in Japan for work (note, this is a fictional scenario as of now) I'll be so rich and fabulous I could take myself or you anywhere in the snap of my pretty fingers so that wouldn't be a problem.

Maybe I should actually attempt to learn Japanese as opposed to learning it from subtitled shows and pursue this dream of mine so I can actually get to Japan rather than just fantasizing.

Anyone saying otherwise can get knotted, but I like Demonia.

Seriously. My last five pairs of boots have been Demonia, and I've been quite pleased.

I ordered a pair of TUKs a while back, and they fell apart in a month.

ZyklonB · 05-20-2009, 06:56 AM

Some brands just seem to have a lack of QC, and you have like a 50/50 chance of getting a pair of boots that'll last years, and a pair that the heel will fall off or something stupid like that in less than 3 months. Demonia and TUK are both brands like that from my experience/what I've seen with people I know. Though so far my last 2 Pairs of Demonias haven't fallen to shit yet and it's been about a year and a half now.

Between Bat Brains and I we've owned boots from TUK, Doc Marten, Underground, Pennangalan, Demonia... Steel beats them all by far.

And they're made in Slovakia, who wouldn't want boots made in Slovakia?

honeythorn · 05-20-2009, 08:08 AM

Oh gods now I need some. I want a pair of brown and a pair of burgundy 20 eyes!

It does, but as a word/description only. Doesn't have anything to do with punk music ( though I'm sure plenty of people do listen to it no doubt ) . No one really knows why the punk was added apart from the fact that steampunk kind of branched off the old cyberpunk fiction but takes inspiration from the steam/industrial revolution/victorian age instead of the future .

It doesn't exist in the context she used.
It's a literary genre.
You can't be a steampunk.

Solumina · 05-20-2009, 11:02 AM

I suppose you could be if you were an inventor/mad scientist who made things that worked using steam power, but catch would never do something that cool.

I know it's already been said, but I think it bears repeating:

Steel-toed boots are -not- illegal in -any- state I've heard of. In fact, many factory-type jobs require that you wear them. :/

My Dad worked at a paper mill for 40 years, and it was required, for safety reasons, that he wear steel-toed boots. Heh. It's a little weird to find out that something required for safety is now a fashion statement. XD

Catch · 05-20-2009, 02:56 PM

There are some kinds that are, because of something called romper stomp, but yah if you want brown work boots they are in the back of wal mart. They don't look cool though and they are more identifiable. Steel toe boots are illegal in Utah... last time I checked. Factories provide toe covers that remain on site.

Besides that I think everyone has specific imagery and ideals about fashion and how to dress. Can't expect everyone to think the same.

ZyklonB · 05-20-2009, 04:31 PM

Romper Stomper is just a movie. An Australian movie... And Romper Stomps are some kid toys you strap to your shoes like platforms to make you look taller. These big yellow cup looking things.

I can't seem to find anything that says steel-toe boots are illegal in Utah. Care to cite your sources?

Cicero · 05-20-2009, 07:54 PM

Romper Stomper's a great movie.

I've never heard of steel toed boots being illegal anywhere, but there have been quite a few times when steel toes have come in handy to protect my feet.

Sir Canvas Corpsey · 05-20-2009, 08:00 PM

You were in my dream cicero, I forget what was happening but I asked if I could call you Sissy, and you said yes and then we hugged. =)

I've never really had a desire to watch Romper Stomper.

If you buy them second-hand, you can find Docs that have been manufactured in England, as opposed to whichever country they have now outsourced their factory too.

According to Yahoo! answers, this is some kind of toy from quite a few years ago. I don't know how the term would be applied to adult boots.

Actually, you can find them in just about any shoe store, or order them on-line. [I try not to go in Wal-Mart; for some reason, the whole place depresses me.]

As for "looking cool", isn't that a matter of opinion? I tend to think the different-colored ones that were linked to earlier looked awesome, if one likes big, stompy boots.

As for being identifiable, I think that's kind of the point of Goth fashion anyways.

Utah has a lot of...unique laws. However, I too would like a source on this.

Yes, they do, but this statement contrasts with your attitude which seems to say the opposite.

Catch · 05-21-2009, 05:23 PM

I don't know if they are still illegal. Too many people turned them into weapons. either way the type of combat boot someone wears says a lot about them. I don't wear steel-toed boots. In fact, I rarely wear them at all. Witch boots are my favorite. If I did wear combat boots, they would be the ones on sale at a department store. By next week the video might be done that explains what that means.

Delkaetre · 05-21-2009, 05:53 PM

Please, don't. Just, don't.
I'm sorry, I don't normally find one person that I just can't stand, but I really don't like you, or your videos, or your massive and apparently wilful ignorance of goddamn everything and most particularly that part of it which applies to having any sort of right to offer advice on personal aesthetics to anyone else, ever.
Please, stop.
When I read your posts, I cringe.
I keep thinking you are a troll.
You have to be. You couldn't really think the things you think and say the things you say. Surely.
Please go away.
You do, of course, retain all normal human rights to speech, rebuttal, defence and so on. I wouldn't dream of refusing someone their right to speech no matter how I disagree with them. But consider this my plea- voluntarily give yours up. For the good of us all.

And, on topic of the general fashion and whatnot- steel toed boots are popular all around the world, and are incredibly useful. For someone who wants slightly prettier shoes that still have a level of protection, there are suppliers of steel toed ladies' court shoes. Usually black, with a chunky heel of 1-2".

KontanKarite · 05-21-2009, 06:36 PM

Did I just read that Catch claims that I don't deal with women's hair?

Catch...

You're fucking dumb. Seriously, I implore you, contract firecancerAIDs... please.

Go die in a raging inferno, you crusty cunt.
