What would you trade to be in Kevin's shoes?

[cbergman]

Yep. That's right. Kevin Rose swindled my shoes away from me. Now, a smart person would just slap his shoes up on ebay and make a fortune, but not I. I wanted to have some fun with it. So, how about a trade for Kevin Rose's shoes?

Give me your best, most interesting offer and next monday, 3/31, I'll pick one and we'll trade, Kevin's shoes for whatever you have to give.

Here's some pics for verification/reference:

Also, Kevin, good call in washing the shoes. I totally had beer spilled all over them that night.

Good luck guys! Have fun with it.

[samureye]

Hahah, too funny. Well, what do you want exactly?

[radzack]

How about an edition of pause given to me by the editor himself????

Good seing you on the forums my man. Hows it been?

[cbergman]

Hah! Hey Zack. It goes well, friend.

How bout yourself?

Is it gonna be L.A. or SF?

[cbergman]

samureye, who knows? Be creative. That's what makes this interesting.

[radzack]

Actually, we need to speak some about that...why don't you shoot me an email and I'll give you a call soon...

[ariastar]

I'd have to trade a vagina to be in - oh, wait, you didn't mean that way!

My boyfriend had those shoes, and I'm glad he lost them. Ugly suckers.

[samureye]

Agh, I'll have to think about it. I think I got nothing!

[hillbilly-rockstar]

*waits for Kevin to post how he wants his shoes back*

[scoobydiesel]

i have a bottled water from i think albertsons its called Refreshe.

Might have something else layng around but I'm not really sure o_O

[ryudo]

I thought his story was the most stereotypical girlish story I ever heard when I heard him trade shoes besides both are ugly...you can get fungus or infections that way...yuck.

So I will just let chris farley slap you with two giant fish while disguised as a chef and cross dressing in disguise Gobei throw black pumps like ninja stars.




But I am sure one of the many hundreds Kevin shoe topics makers will give their life savings away for the smelly things. ;)

[sonofdad]

I'll give you 2 seasons of futurama on dvd, whichever 2 you want:)

Its only a matter of time before some fanboy does that.

[racinfast002]

how about my gf undies?

[autodas]

Submit this to Digg; there are people there who think Kevin is the messiah so they would want some shoes worn by their king and savior.

[redwardj]

I would trade you a sweet $20 bill for those what do you think?

[cbergman]

Really guys? You need to flame that much over some shoes? I just wanted to have fun with it. Also, I really have appreciated what Kevin has brought to the internet, useful interaction and a dang entertaining show. He doesn't have to be a messiah to have people like what he does.

Futurama is a good start. I don't want to deprive you of it though, I'd hate for you to have some vans but be bummed about not having that Bender episode you love. Also, I'm married, so any girl-anything is out of the question. No cash either. That's no fun.

I'm thinking something homemade maybe? Art? I like art. Orrr one of those MAKE digg buttons? Always too lazy to make one myself. Geek is good.

Feel free to join in on the conversation happening over there.

For those of you being awesome, thanks. For those not so much, that's cool, but this just may not be your party.

[nextgenxbox]

Just ebay them and give the money to charity.

[mr-underachiever]

Wow, I thought this thread was about being Kevin Rose for a day, not actually wearing his shoes. So, disregard this post.

[bthug7]

Well what size are they? I've been lookin for a pair.

Just Kidding thats gross, well actually not if they're cleaned.

So this is what I bring to the table.

Kristen Cavallari from Laguna Beach used to live in Illinois. She lived in my town and my sister was a grade above her. How about a Barrington Middle School yearbook complete with Kristen Cavallari's 7th grade picture?

Ok what else can I offer.

I have an original copy of StarCraft which is pretty BA. I would offer brood war too but I still use it. Good way to freshen up before StarCraft II.



I have five glass bottles of pop from Mexico. Fanta, Coke, Sprite, Manzana Lift, and I think another flavor of Fanta. They ingredients and all that stuff is in Spanish so it's kinda cool. I've had them a few years, but I think the oldest bottle's been circulating since 96.

As far as art goes I made a pretty sweet armadillo in Illustrator. It's noteworthy.

I shook Barack Obama's hand twice. I could shake yours once and give you one if your into him.

I'm not to bad at writing. I could right you something. Whether it be a report, story, poem, etc.

I can also offer a lifetime subscription to hereforbeer.com.

If I think of anything else I'll tell you.

[tiki]

Do you want a Sega Genesis? How about some old TSS episodes with Kevin and Patrick? A Seattle Mariners hat? Hell I have no idea...

[radzack]

CBERG you rule!

[sommers]

neat idea :)

[astx813]

Haha! I just saw the episode this afternoon and cracked up when I heard Kevin start telling the story of the shoes. I was like "dude, I was there! I know that guy!" I especially liked how he owned up to how he pretty much nagged you into trading! :) -Chip

[nikole]

what would i do to get in his pants you mean?!?!? Am I right???

ya i know that was dumb, but it's how i feel! :(

[bonez]

AAH.. what i'd trade/give to BE Kevin..
Let me see a Cute gamer girl wanting to get in your pants, and not even afraid to admit it.
Yep decided.. I'd give my left nut.

Oh about the shoe's well I don't think I'd be able to trade anyway Kevin seems to have rather small feet..... Pun NOT intended people, jeez

[heyseuss]

His feet ?

[bonez]

meaning his shoes wouldn't fit me ..

[xeemo]

hmm...i don't have much to offer.

final fantasy 3 for the SNES

a book of random drawings i made with pencil/marker (you said you liked art....it's not really art though. unless you want to call it new age art.)

i could make a song about you... i have no clue why you'd want that though (theres a sample of my music at www.myspace.com/nexus3067)

a casio sk1 keyboard with a broken battery compartment. it's small, works on a 9 volt adapter, and it does that cool thing where you can sample yourself and play it with the keys.

a DDD-1 korg drum machine. daft punk used one of those for the clap in the song "around the world"
