I’m Bitching and Moening

Today I want to continue with yesterday’s post by looking at another ADA case. This one, while quite disappointing, doesn’t really rise to the level of the judge cheating.

It is also a case that gets closer to something that a barefooter would care about.

How Judges Cheat — Part 5

I’ve been looking a bit lately at the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and how it might apply to some barefooters. In the process, I’ve come across even more examples of how judges cheat, so I might as well add it to my “How Judges Cheat” series.

It also adds a different perspective to my thoughts on how the ADA might apply to barefooters.

This comic appeared last year on January 7, 2015. It’s from the strip The Buckets, and is drawn by Greg Cravens, who took over the strip from its creator, Scott Stantis.

The Buckets, January 7, 2015

If you go barefoot all the time you can still feel these sorts of things. It just doesn’t hurt.

Here’s a depressing little comic. But those from Ziggy often are. It appeared on August 11, 2005.

“The Big Short”, Michael Burry, and Bare Feet

If you’ve seen the movie The Big Short (or even just the trailer), you’ve seen that the character Michael Burry (a real person) is portrayed as going barefoot a lot.

In the book he is mostly shown as just eccentric. So I got wondering, was that added just for the movie?

Yes, I know it’s Sunday. Yes, I’m a little late.

Today we feature Out Our Way, a comic (originally started in 1922) by J. R. Williams. After he died, it was continued by one of his assistants, Neg Cochran.

Out Our Way, September 2, 1969

This is probably about the only time that a barefooter would consider putting on socks.

Dismindfulness

I know it’s been a long time since I last wrote here. I’m afraid the Muses have left me. However, I do want to at least do a summary wrap-up post with some observations about the interaction between my last trip Out West and barefootedness.

If you read all the entries, you’ll know that there were times that I donned footwear (even though I had really, really hoped not to resort to it). Here are some observations and realizations I acquired through that experience.

Here’s a strip from the comic Pickles, which follows a retired couple. The following appeared on April 14, 2012.

It applies an old joke to Legos.

Pickles, April 4, 2012

Actually, when you go barefoot a lot your soles build up and Legos really aren’t that bad . . .
