anyone ever thought that he may just have been overcome by the pressure we gave him to post pics of his entire collection?

If he finally decided to, this could take months, think about the time it takes to make a movie, then multiply that by at least 2x . .

I fear that aportnoy's wife caught him in an unspeakable act of shoephilia.

Andrew truly is a great guy and a stalwart on this forum. He's also very generous and was a wonderful poster.

But in reading through his previous posts, I do notice many, many misspellings and typos!

Could he have been typing with his feet to preserve the virginity of "The Collection"?

If so, I respect him even more!

Come to think of it, LabelKing disappeared around the same time as Portnoy. Do you think he might have pulled a Cunanan thing on him?

If aportnoy is dead and Manton has his shoes, what is manton going to do with them? We know from their own mouths, as it were, that some 3.5 sizes separate these two. Perhaps manton has some diabolical plan to either a.) corner or b.) flood the market for high-end footwear, having either a.) gone long in the futures market for said products or b.) (like in Trading Places) shorted the futures market for shoes.

Maybe Manton will open the Prince Machiavelli Trading Post. I call dibs on the EGs.

Maybe aportnoy is just on vacation and we could do a Knights of Prosperity thing and form a crime syndicate to break into his NYC home and steal then distribute the shoes to us less fortunate members of the syndicate.

Could this thread be construed as a Portnoy Complaint?

What do you have there, officer?

Well sir, it looks like there are at least 10 different footprints here, but they are all in the area of 8-8.5UK...

Baffling! Keep at it.

One of the best threads ever was "Haiku for Ernest"

http://www.styleforum.net/showthread...ighlight=haiku

Though Andrew and Ernest could not be more different, couldn't we do a "Haiku for Andrew"?

I'm not as young, smart or literary as many on SF, but I'll come up with one by tomorrow.

And let's be respectful please! Let's not forget that aportnoy is a great guy that has provided a lot of enjoyment and respect on this Forum! If there's a better shoe collection than his, I sure don't know of it.

So let's go, our literary brethren.

Yeah, yeah, pretty bad I know! But I don't claim to be particularly literate.

Gentlemen, please do a better job than I
