You're quite Wilde with those boots, Mr. Arnon.

(PS did you poker in the mud?)

I like boots. These boots are beautiful !
(If not in poker, you may well be lucky in love – if you play the game of course)

Herrlich kitschig.

!!

Very nice boots.

Mr. Arnon

What size are you? Maybe you can sell a pair of your shoes to support (yourself or) the people in Haïti.

How to win a pokergame, even when you're not a good poker player.

These - ok nice - boots are made for walking, not to win a pokergame. My advise in poker is to upset your opponents, not to impress them or let them like you or dislike you. Here are my two golden tips:
Look confusingly bad, for instance try a combination of japanese jogging shoes , edwin eighties jeans, synthetic shirts and Oakly sunglasses. This look was introduced on beta universities all over the world in the mid nineties and these boys and girls (!) conquered the world with it)
And last but certainly not least :The old Karpov chess trick, not wash yourself, sweat a lot and not change your clothes in the three weeks before a game. Yes also wear them in bed of course and dont change your bed these three weeks (and half a year before) In chess youre closer to your opponent in the game so use a factor two on the Karpov period when playing poker, six weeks the least. In your case with a lot of social events for your profession i advice you to let one of your six employees do the job so that you only have to wear the clothes on the evening itself. But i think that you upset yourself more with these tactics than anyone else.
A combination of the tips is possible cause you can run marathons in the first tip clothes and drop them in a moisty forgotten corner when not running. When you play the game like this your physical condition also gets a boost so your opponents think youre a sportsbilly etc, etc.

A pair OF purple boots...
(two pair of .../ pairs of .../ many pairs of ....)

Great boots!
I would love to own a pair of those.

Hesper

Thanks for pointing the missing word out to me.

Wow those are some seriously funky boots!

To bad your boots didn't bring you any luck! They remind me a bit of my new boots (the first one in the picture pointed out by the website link).
I hope yours don't hurt your toes as much as these hurt mine...

sorry to use your blog for this,
got my china mail?

C 130 driver

I got your e-mail and will get back to you tonight.

Rrrrr...these are fabulous! Are you planning to become the next shimmery-shiny king of the mods?

A good reason to put them on again next time you'll play poker.

Lovely pair of boots by the way... they also come in different colors?

Juliane

Yes, but only for you.
Because you are my dreamboat.

Jeanette

No, not that I know. But I bought another pair of purple shoes.

dreamboat

I had to look that up and found in some dictionaries that the term refers specifically to a man.

What pieces of clothing accompany those stunning shoes?

Juliane

Not only to men.

"a very attractive person, esp. a man."

Anyhow your body is my dreamboat.

I like to rent the cabin between your legs as of February 1st.

Another pair...

now *that* I consider a big leap forward, remembering your light brown shoes didn't do anything for you on a reading I once attended.

Someone adviced you or was it love at first sight?

Arnon

Oh, that's a crying shame. For that very day I have other obligations among which an oral examination probably is the one that calls for the major part of my attention. I'm awfully sorry, my precious.

Dreamboat

As of February 1st. (Ab dem ersten Februar.) So it doesn't matter we can start the rent February 2nd.
I don't mind cabin sharing with your boyfriend.
I'm totally excited.

Juliane

Please let me know if you need help distracting your boyfriend from your lady business. I have few commitments in early February.

Precious / Oscar

@ Arnon
Would you wear your mod boots for me? And are there any preferences, fetishes or peculiarities I should know about?
What do you expect from this little liaison?

@ Oscar
You surprise me. Are you some kind of hitman or do you just lust after my boyfriend?

Juliane

My chivalry knows no boundaries.

Juliane

I will be naked but I won’t take off my boots.
As to my wishes, I prefer to tell you this in private.
But there is one thing I can disclose in public.
I never made love in the city of Bingen
I would love to hump in Bingen am Rhein.
We could meet at the train station.

Oscar / Arnon

@ Oscar
Yes, I can see that.

@ Arnon
Splendid. Better book a room with a view, then. It might be a bit too cold for a secluded corner outdoors. Shall I bring a variety of condoms or are we going to make a baby right away?

Juliane

Bring the condoms, we could always decide not to use them.
Could we meet in May or April in Bingen? I will start renting your cabin as of February 2, but I would like to paint and furnish it later.

I told so, these boots really make you lucky in love…

Arnon

I will be working by then but I'm sure I'll be able to squeeze you in.

Juliane

Sqeeuze me in, Juliane.

Besides the Nobel Prize that's all I ask from God and my fellow citizens.

You're such an undemanding man, Mr Grunberg.
And don't forget your business socks: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGOohBytKTU
