[quote]A nice book is a great gift. I bought this one for a office Christmas party. Images you shouldn't masturbate to [/quote] This is perfect. Thanks!...

[quote]Different styles, but I'm fixing to get some Jim Green African Rangers. Originally thought I wanted their Razorbacks but I don't need anything that tough.[/quote] I like these as kickaround boots, but they remind me of a cheaper Blundstone and also not able to be rebuilt/re-soled. ...
