Close, it's a black and white animal, but it's a panda...hence the bamboo shoots and leaves.

You are correct, sir. Thanks for the correction.

I always heard that joke as being about a koala. Eucalyptus shoots. But then, I'm an Aussie.

The book was written by an American woman and she did tell the joke with a panda. Good to know that Aussies out by the barbie looking at Nicole Kidman-types still care about proper punctuation.

I think I first saw the joke in a book of "Great Internet Jokes" back in the mid-90s, she didn't invent it. Very old grammar joke.

My first vote is Dainite but I'm down for leather too. Chances are delivery will be in the middle of winter. Do we have prices yet?

wow this MTO thread gained traction so quick; Dainite, Victory and Leather sole in that order.

I am very interested in the museum u wing boot. No real sole preference.

Of course she did not invent the joke. Who said she did? She is the one who wrote an entire book of punctuation and grammar jumping off from that joke. And the book was written way before the mid-90s - I don't know, but am pretty confident that the joke, the book and many lessons of good grammar pre-date the mid-90s, and the imternet.

I agree with the above quite completely.

Fall/Winter is coming...
Is it a good time to call for a rerun of Jodphur Boot? Navy calf, or even with a black alligator strap!
(It is navy shell in the photo but Carmina will not do a jodphur in shell cordovan again)

navy calf with black alligator strap sounds amazing!

 

[steveyoo1983]

I made a quick edit of what the 80387/Rain boot might look like in burgundy museum. The scale of the mottling may be a bit off, but, after seeing this I think it's a winner. I credit @patliean1 for suggesting this makeup.

This U wing bal boot (Rain / Burgundy museum calf) MTO is gaining some major traction!
We have about 9 interested at this point and I have 5 votes on Dainite and 2 votes on leather sole at this point!

Kindly send me a PM if you would like to join and which sole choice you would prefer! (single dainite vs leather sole)

Navy calf with a black alligator strap sounds gorgeous. Depending on last and sole choices, I could very well be in on this. I'll keep lurking for details!

Rain last, JR single leather or HAF sole

Or if your guys like museum calf, plum museum + black alligator strap or brown museum + brown alligator strap might be nice too.
