Episode 36 – It reminds me of this time…
Shoe dilemma!
Uhm?
No, seriously, listen, help me work this out.
Work what out? Melly Mel, I’m not fully sure what…
All right! This is a tale of confusion and shoes and harmony in nature.
Oh, well so long as it makes sense then…
I love my Converse. Love them.
Purple hi-top is a good choice for you.
And I love them
You love them, so where’s the problem?
I need a new pair.
Oh, Melly Mel, they still sell them, cheap, too, I know a place.
No, I know they do. But these days Cons are made by someone else.
Ohhh, I heard about that. So?
It isn’t the same. The quality is a bit less and the trendy is way up.
Didn’t Nike buy them out?
Yeah back in 2003. Damn it.
So don’t buy them.
But I love them!
So buy them?
But they’re Nike Fakecons!
Uhm.
I know. There’s no good answer.
Maybe buy a different type of shoe all together?
Like what? A sneaker? A shoe?
Well you’re replacing your comfy sneakers so some kind of … fabric basic shoe.
Not many of those these days worth their weight in laces.
True enough, but come on!
I will be forced to go barefoot in sadness.
And to the hospital in infectious pain. No, just buy the shoes. Are they the same? No, of course not. Will they do? I’m certain of it.
How do you know?
When I was a kid I had a turtle. Tiny little water turtle. And my mom accidentally dropped it down the garbage disposal, while I was gone. She got me another one and I didn’t notice. I didn’t. It was all fine. She told me when I was grown and…
That’s from My Blue Heaven! That wasn’t you!
No?
No!
Oh well, worth a try.
You tried to soothe me with a fake tale from your childhood that was a movie plot?
If that didn’t work I was going to tell you about the time I had to rely on my knowledge of cars to get a friend out of trouble while in a small town that really looked at us funny.
My Cousin Vinnie? Mark!
Soothing!
You’re bent.
And you need new shoes. Let’s go buy you some Cons.
Hmph.
It’ll be fine.
Hmph!
And you can throw the old ones at Jake’s head.
Ooooh!
It reminds me of this one time. We were kids still, and we went off on an adventure, just walking, you know, and then we found a dead body, and…
Stand By Me?
Shhhh. Don’t ruin the moment. There we were…
At least pretend to have been in Goonies, or something.
Pretend?! I would never!
Uh huh. Yeah this reminds me of that time I found an alien in my closet and we shot him back into space.
That is not how E.T. ends.
It’s how you’re gonna end.
Threats now?
Well, it’s like when I was in the Army during the Korean war and all we had were our wits to sustain us while doctoring away…
