Can It Fit In My ROOS Pocket?
Please, everyone, close your eyes and imagine back to the days when you were 10 years old. Well, wait, that won't work for everyone. Open your eyes again, let's start over. Alright, now close your eyes again. Hey, don't give me that look, just do it! Yes, close your eyes and relax and think back to the late eighties. Isn't it wonderful? Remember - MTV played nothing but videos, bangs and big hair were cool (oh, hey there New Jersey. No, no. Bangs and big hair are still cool - that guy doesn't know what he's talking about), and we were all so much younger.
Well, in the late eighties I was about 10 years old. And when I was 10 years old, all I wanted was a cool pair of sneakers. Well, that's not totally true. I wanted a lot of things, like the latest transformer, or the Millenium Falcon, or no clothes for Chanukah. But what I wanted most was a cool pair of sneakers. And the coolest sneakers out there were kangaROOS. That's right, the sneakers with the handy-dandy pocket! But sadly, though I was far from deprived as a kid, I never got my ROOS.
Well, that is until today (not really today - more like a month ago)! I searched high and low, near and far, and in every friggin' sporting shoe store I could find. But I came up with nothing. And then Foot Locker.com saved me. With a few clicks and a credit card number entered, they sent me this sweet pair of kicks:
with a fresh pocket.
A pocket on a shoe? What for? Well, apparently it was originally intended to carry your keys while you ran, you know, so you don't get locked out. Genius! But now that I'm much older and wiser, I feel I don't want to limit the use of this pocket. So we're going to play a new game I invented, creatively titled, Can It Fit In My ROOS Pocket? Bear with me as I explain how it works. I find an object that might be handy to carry around in a shoe pocket and I see if it will fit. Did I lose you? I hope not because that's it. Oh, and I'll document my efforts.
