I Won a Shoe!

October 24, 2006

Last night Bruce and I were on the host committee of the Annual Celebrity Server Charity Event at the Palm.

In recognition for our service on committee for said event, we both got engraved Tiffany's decanters like you see on soaps in Palmer Cortlandt's living room. I am going to take a page from Palmer and fill it with whiskey and put it in my office. I wonder if, in 2006, that represents some violation of GE's HR Policy. I look forward to finding out.

Had I known that I was getting the decanter, I would've applied myself towards improving the galaxy of superstars that was waiting tables at the event. Yes, Rocco DiSpirito was there as handsome as ever, and Diana DiGarmo from Hairspray and Idol, and the often hilarious Gilbert Gottfried, and Steve Schirrippa from Sopranos, but I think we needed to Bravo the place up a little bit. Oh yeah, Randy Jones -- the wonderful Cowboy from the Village People -- was in the house becoming bestbuds with Rocco, but that ain't what I am talking about. How am I going to ask Carson to wait tables for three hours at a charity event? Not cool!

My son would love your major award - he is just redoing his room in sports penants (sp?). Even though he is a Cavs fan, the shoe would get a place of honnor on his trophy shelf and be shown off to all his white and nerdy (weird al fans are we!) buddies. and of course, I am a loyal reader and bravo watcher - have I sucked up enough? would send pics, but at work.

I'd love to have the shoe in my basement, next to my autographed photo of Brett Favre!

By the way, his name is Josh Boone. Now I should totally get the shoe.

Personally, Andy, I think you're adorable and want MORE pictures of you. And Bruce. Preferably shirtless . . . .

'I have a shoe. Do you want it?'

This is why I read your blog. So random and funny.

I think you should send me the shoe. Not because I care about basketball or have ever heard of that player, but because I think it would be nice to have something that came from someone at Fox News besides a blinding sense of rage. In addition, I will pretend it is a decanter from Tiffany's and put whiskey in it.

I also think you should sign it as well, just to piss off any potential Nets fans that would come into my apartment and see the shoe.

Uhhh.....Andy....? Thanks, but ....no....No stinky old shoe today.....not even an autographed one....Honestly, I would be a very bad caretaker, 'cause I'd give it to my wirehaired killer weiner dog, Pepper.....Give it to Megan's kid. I'm pretty sure he won't eat it.

Andy, I am a first grade teacher and way too many of my students cannot tie their shoes. Damn you velcro! I would use the massive shoes to teach my kids to tie shoes. Come on! They are our future! Won't you please teach them to tie? As an added bonus, I will email you pics of them using said massive shoe as a teaching tool.

I would love to have that shoe! Josh Boone is an alum of my college (I go to Uconn) and it would be great to have his shoe come to the place where his talent was discovered...
Plus, the TV in my dorm room looks like it needs a little decoration, and my sneaker doesn't have the impact that Boone's would...

Andy, why isn't Brandy an actual couple? You and Bruce seem perfect for each other! Please continue to include pics of yourself (and Bruce, when appropriate) in your blog - it's an essential part of my blogosphere experience...

As far as your shoe giveaway goes, I have size 16 feet, so I could probably put the shoe to it's intended use rather than thinking up creative alternatives, but I don't actually want it for that. It would make a lovely planter or a snuggly bed for a small pet, don't you think?

Hi Andy,

How about posting it on Ebay and letting its rightful owner pay oodles of money for it that you can pass on to your favorite charity.

Shoe---great!!

I'd take the shoe, auction it off on eBay and donate the money to the adoption group that I got my Retired Racing Greyhounds from. From one sport to another. :) Check out my group's website!!

Andy,
I believe you should give me the shoe because I want to be altruistic with it. The gays are known for giving, of course, and what better way to use such sports memorabilia than to sell it on e-Bay and give the proceeds to a good cause. Were you to give the shoe to me to sell on e-Bay, or at a local auction, I would donate the money to savedarfur.org, the campaign to raise awareness about the atrocities in Sudan. There is an ever-increasing campaign of violence and genocide happening right now. The Janjaweed militias, sponsored by the Sudanese government, have killed over 400,000 people and displaced nearly two million. That's like killing everyone on Staten island and destroying the homes of everyone in Queens and forcing them to move to refugee camps.

This is a hot issue right now. Do the right thing, Andy, and sell the item for a good cause and help end the genocide in Darfur.

And if not that, my brother is a huge Jason Boone fan and would love the shoe. He's straight, and we don't always have the best relationship, and as a college student away from home, I'd love to give him something that says, "I love you and you'll always be my brother, even if you are odd."

It looks like a sneaker not a shoe. I think the first grade teacher should get it.
