          I'm not sure if this would be an unpopular opinion, but anyone who has the nerve to kick a dog at the dog park because they're "overwhelming" their dog should have their shoulders and hips dislocated and forced to slither home on their belly. Hasn't happened to my dog, but I've seen a fair number of overbearing pet parents do that at the park unnecessarily

          Edit: the pet parent, not the dog

            In some places you need a license to have a dog, but anyone with a prick or fanny (we use that word differently over here, it's why fanny packs are hilarious) can participate in making children with absolutely no regard as to whether they have the means, will and intelligence to turn these sprogs into adults….go figure.

            In other news I am totally abandoning short sleeved button up shirts this year in favour of tees. SS shirts are just a little too "Mormon" for my taste.

              Agreed Mega. SS shirts have always reminded me of off-duty policemen trying to look casual!

                  I have a few short sleeve western shirts that I really like. Definitely my go-to in the summer.

                        They always make me think of the guys who repaired the copiers in our office.

                        And Mormon missionaries.  In fairness, I've known many Mormons, and they are invariably genuinely thoughtful, kind people, and the guys seemed to hate the SS white dress shirts passionately.  Probably from being forced to wear them every day for two years straight.

                          Hey, no attack on Mormons at all man. I have 2 living at the bottom of my street and they are the nicest most polite guys you could wish to meet, I just wouldn't want to dress like them.

                                Now that Red Wing prices are so close to certain higher quality boots I fail to see why they are still the number one boot of choice for the denim aficionado. To me they are a stock/ safe choice which is losing its relevance due to better and more individual boots being available for not much more money.

                                I have worn a variety of Red Wing boots (Gentleman Travellers, Moc Toe, suede work boot etc…) and really enjoyed them all, but when I compare them now to boots that can be bought for a little less than $100 more I just cannot see the appeal.

                                I think if I voiced this opinion on certain "social media" that I would lose a third of my friends list over night  :o

                                  ebay is the way to go if rolling with red wing 😉

                                  eli can tell…

                                      Not necessarily true.  I bet the wholesale price is less than you can buy them for on eBay and the likes.  RW should be making an acceptable margin on the wholesale price…

                                        Someone is or retailers wouldn't stock them and they wouldn't have so many Red Wing stores.

                                          Red Wings are a bad choice if you pay more than 100 $ for them… I genuinely think they're worth 50-75 $...

                                          It's all about patience... If you're poor that is... Just peruse the second hand fora and be patient...

                                          Remember: I got Vibergs for the price of a pair of (retail priced) Red Wings...
