When in Rome...

Next thing you know we'll be finding Roman statues sporting mullets.

Was that a joke? What an odd article...

PS. The Japanese have been wearing socks with sandals for thousands of years!

Ahh, yes, the Japanese. The absolute top of the fashion industry.

Yes, but would they carry that purse while wearing those shoes?

Man...this is a very funny article. My favorite quote out of it is this:

"It's embarrassing for them," said Nansi Rosenberg, senior archaeological consultant at EC Harris, which is managing the excavation.

Right, right, you just keep poking fun at my people. See where it gets you.

You try wearing sandals without socks during a London winter.

Yeah sax, get back in line or we'll quit buying all that giant robot anime Japan keeps sending our way. That'll send the economy into the great white toilet.

You just see how you like this place without my blue hair, cool poses and ridiculously huge mouth.

DOUBLE DEUCE! --|-- --|--

Give the poor Britons a break - they predated Doc Martens by nearly 2000 years. What do you expect them to do?!?

Look, I know people who wear sandals without socks in a Canadian winter. You're telling me a bit of rain and slush is too much for dainty white toes?

The problem is you insist in wearing sandals DURING WINTER. Duh.

My question is, how do they know the sock was woolen? IT'S A STATUE!

Posted by Kayla (Member # 2403) on :
 
Well, I doubt they had polyester blends.

The statue was scratching his leg.

It probably wasn't wearing socks, it was probably just done by a really bad sculptor. Or maybe he was a prisoner put in jail by the fashion police and the statue was commending the judicial system of the time.
