Fit is reasonably generous and quality is great for the price (although, for once, you guys pay WAY more than us in the UK if you're paying 4 for $200. We're getting 4 for £100).

I bought them for $39 each and free shipping. i bought the tightest fit (tailored fit) but the Slim Fit is the best seller.

Motorola SB6121 because 7 dollars a month for a modem is ridiculous.

0916112036

My dads Vizio 8" tablet I just happen to be at his house when it got there. Its pretty nice. I like it better than my sisters ipad.

0916111436

My dad come home with about 250 lbs of tools. His work was getting all new tools for the field engineers. He said there was about 6 other people who got about the same amount. the box has just wrenches 90% craftsman & weighs about 100 lbs. the bag has sockets, pliers, more wrenches, ratchets, allens, a cordless dewalt drill, wire cutters and other stuff. The three boxes in the back have just sockets and ratchets 90% craftsman. Most is in like new condition and barely used. needless to say i was excited.

Because they're healthier for your knees when running and just in general. A guy I work with has a doctors note to wear them as often as possible for his back problems

A sword is more frightening than toy-looking gun like glock.

robbing with a sword is a good thing

so thats why professional athletes all wear trainers in the gym?
you know if someone is new and grants magic, the top pros will probably jump on it first.

You can when the competitors are marking up their products more than they should be. You still make a decent profit while undercutting the other guys

We know. All you care about is looks; screw utility, right? "Yeah, my knees are blown out from running, but have you seen how good I look in these new shoes?!"

knee blown out = probably split between due to bad form and actual asphalt pounding ...
but i dont run on asphalt, i run on grass or syn turf

+10000. I was skeptical at first but they are amazing to run in. I wish they were around when I was running x-country in highschool.

yeah just worked out with them. they really are amazing. and athletes wear trainers instead because vibrams are pretty hard to find. they are sold in big chain stores. its usually online or smaller stores. my gf bought me these from takken's shoes in the northridge mall.

Your understanding of athleticism is laughable. Truly laughable.

When we want input on what it's like to be a spoiled little b*tch who pretends to be successful himself and derives self worth from labels attached to clothes, we'll request your expert opinion. Leave the commentary on athleticism to others.

no. it isn't. "it's called" cross elasticity. so... you're wrong. i'd assume someone with such an exceptional investment acumen would understand "simple economics."
