The accumulated snow is melting in Chicago, and soon my car will be unfrozen. And now that the sidewalks are free from slush and salt, I can wear these:
American alligator tail boots with soft buffalo shafts, from J. B. Hill of El Paso, Texas. These boots were new, but I got them for only a fraction of the retail price, for they came adorned with a ranch logo (the “XXX Ranch”) and had the owner’s initials (KB) on them. Boots with logos and initials are always bargains, since few people want them—even though the inlays are hidden under one’s pants. Note the fancy gator collar and gator initials (KB) inlaid on the boot pulls:
KB = Killer Biologist, yeah!
KB = Killer Biologist Kicks Back? 😉
Just how many pairs of boots do you have? I only ask because I want to know how many more decades of cowboy boot posts to expect.
I was wondering what sized closet he has!
So you believe in soles?
Filleted, baked with a bit of lemon? Sure, of course!
Cheers,

But not all alligator?
I see that PZ (and some of The Minions) are in a bit of a huff about The Boots.
Hmm.
I shall refrain from saying anything more about that, as I don’t want to get my Gnu Atheist card revoked.
Don’t mind PZ — guess who would be the first one on the block to wear sqidskin boots if available?
Is there such a beast? O.O
Rumple squidskin.
How does one know what size boot to look for on Ebay?
I found this site to be informative:

I found it easier to use the book/brick method and not to guesstimate off a foot trace.
It was with some trepidation that I typed ‘xxx ranch’ into Google.
Turns out it isn’t in Nevada. Entirely different kind of wild life to be found there, too.
Anticlimactically, it’s a big guest ranch in Texas.
Spring? That’s still more than a month away. I hate, loathe, and despise winter. If it were a person I’d kill it.
But, I have to be realistic about when Spring is actually arriving. May and June are my favorite parts of Spring. (Trivia: did you know that May is the month with the highest rate of suicides? The runners up are April and June. Weird, huh?)
I am already looking forward to the beginning of daylight savings though. It’s less than 4 weeks away! : )
I hate the summer! All that muggy weather – at least in London.
Many years ago I had a joke published in the Eagle and was paid 10 shillings.
Woman goes into a shoe shop and asks for a pair of alligator shoes.
Yes maam, what size does your alligator take?
You deserved every penny – I hope it was spent wisely – e.g. ha’penny chews!
Wouldn’t an alligator need two pairs of shoes? Or do they mix and match? Which pair has to match the alligator handbag?
Still boots. Still ugly.
