Funny post too. I have different priorities than balance but I also tend to be in the minority so I spare everyone from having to listen to me about it excluding my linkshell. I like to think they find my variety of crazy charming. Dang it I'm starting to ramble again. I'm going to bed. Stupid FFXI not letting me get on to update today. Me first! Me me me! Ok done now. Thanks for giggles Dave!

However, the flip of the coin is what is the Shoe Salesman good at! Selling shoes? <BR/>But let's face it - in the "real world" anyone could sell shoes. The only reason someone is a shoe salesman is because they can't put out fires, arrest people, or heal people. Of course a job like this wouldn't exist in the game. That's just crazy design... Unless maybe the shoe person is the only one that can sell epic shoes. . .Opopanaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17132304344203402684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324432.post-91703102178883337372008-03-10T12:42:00.000-07:002008-03-10T12:42:00.000-07:00i hate shoe shopping.<BR/><BR/>i hate PUPs in my parties.<BR/><BR/>maybe there's a link here somewhere..Hawklord2112https://www.blogger.com/profile/12665788144948757840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324432.post-66949950666299189142008-03-10T10:32:00.000-07:002008-03-10T10:32:00.000-07:00Heh, four that popped up immediately.
