Stadiums

I’ve noticed that Google is announcing their gaming platform, Stadia.

All that reminds me of is one of my favorite pairs of shoes. I wore a white-and-gray-with-blue-accents pair of Stadia tennis shoes for a significant amount of time. I don’t remember exactly when, my guess is late junior high / early high school timeframe.

I don’t remember any of my other shoes from that time, other than my spikes I used for cross country and track. I didn’t use the Stadia for anything in particular, just my normal daily shoes.

What was memorable about them was the logo: a stylized Roman coliseum. I’m picturing it on the top of the tongue, in blue.

They don’t make ’em like they used to.

Speaking of shoes, I heard an ad for Skechers shoes on the radio the other day, and it amused me. Their main line was “No shoes are as comfortable as Skechers.”

I enjoy ambiguous grammar that I can misinterpret.

So, Skechers company, you’re saying that going barefoot is just as comfortable as Skechers? In that case, I can save my money and use no shoes rather than buy Skechers.

at that time the Lord spoke through Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, “Go and loosen the sackcloth from your hips and take your shoes off your feet.” And he did so, going naked and barefoot.
