I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring

And Bob Jewels keep those other reasons between us ;-)
Jason ON I have size 13 shoes/feet and my father-in-law nicknamed me "banana boat" because for someone (me) who is six feet tall, usually you don't have such a disproportionate shoe size. I am lucky because at 13, it is just below the "freaky look" and I deliberately buy shoes that make my feet look not-so-big. I saw the same shoe I was buying once and it was available in a 14 and it looked huge. That seems to be the breaking point for men's shoe sizes.
