Roller skating as we know it is largely a product of the 1970s, a heady time when people didn't give the tiniest fuck that all that stood between them and having their spine turned into a jigsaw puzzle were two cheap shoes with wheels glued on. John Joseph Merlin invented both roller skates and the attitude that safety equipment and the ability to brake are for pussies when his first demonstration ended with him crashing into a mirror and seriously injuring himself. He was also playing a , which makes us wonder exactly what he was trying to accomplish. Maybe drive by violinings were a thing back then. Skates started to look more sensible after Merlin inadvertently held the world's first X Games. The were patented in 1819, and skates from 1863 don't look much different from the ones we have today: We bet the wooden wheels really brought those cobblestone streets to life. And then, for some unexplained reason, roller skate designs started to look like something lifted out of a satirical cartoon: Masons News Service, via Daily Mail "Yakety Sax" inexplicably plays whenever you're wearing them. These 1897 monstrosities are road rollers, which were used by Victorian businessmen to quickly get across London so they could maximize their time spent being dicks to the working class. Skaters could reach the breezy speed of 16 mph, hopefully while ramping over exploding horses. It's going to be hard to take A Christmas Carol seriously now that we'll picture Scrooge awkwardly sitting on the roadside and tying these to his feet so he could get to the office every morning. Fast forward to 1905, and the world was treated to these bad boys: Pictured: Edmund James Hamburglar Sr. He looks like he's going to skate into a bank, grab a sack with a dollar sign on it, and skate out while shouting that they'll never catch the Four Wheeled Bandit. However, first prize for sheer hilarity has to go to these pedal powered skates from 1910, which resemble something that Tony Stark would have invented had he been a teenage ruffian. Go ahead and take care of that erection of yours, steampunk fans. We'll wait. You actually had to pump air into the tires before each skate, which may explain why the Age of Lunatic Skate Design soon ended and the world went back to models sane people would be willing to wear. But not before old timey skaters filmed their ridiculous exploits: 2. Foxy BoxingModern women fought for their right to fight each other, and thanks to stars like Gina Carano, we now take women's martial arts for granted. But women's boxing used to be a poorly sanctioned fringe sport, and in the 1970s and '80s it was largely restricted to scantily clad women ineffectually swatting at each other in grimy bars while lonely men watched and worked through some weird issues they had with their violent mothers. While we tend to think of foxy boxing as having a history no longer than that time our dad became a big fan after the divorce, women have been taking part in the sweet science since 1722, when the first recorded boxing match between "two of the feminine gender" took place in London. Boxing soon became a popular sport for lower class women, who often fought stripped to the waist, because hey, free tits. If that sounds condescending, consider this boxing was still bare knuckle then, and female fighters could also kick, scratch, and throw. Women actually fought (and sometimes beat) male contestants, and it's hard to think of these fights as sexy considering that they kept fighting after suffering broken jaws and noses, smashed teeth, and swollen eyes. Oh, and sometimes they fought with swords and freaking quarterstaves. Can we bring that back? To, like, everything? It seems like women's boxing has always been torn between being taken seriously and being a form of erotic entertainment for men who get turned on by head trauma. This video from 1931 presents women's boxing as a comedy routine: In heels. Meanwhile, you're going to trip trying to stand up after reading this. While this video from the '40s features two women who, despite being scantily clad, are clearly taking the fight seriously: Although we suppose it's possible that they start making out moments after the film ends. Remember, boxing used to be one of America's three big sports. It makes perfect sense that women would want to compete and male advertising executives would want to exploit their fellow man's love of boxing and boobs.

The best way to find out your shoe size is by being measured professionally. This is quite easy accomplished, all you have to do is the next time you visit the high street or visit a shopping mall go into a shop that sell men's shoes and ask for your feet to be measured. When you have your feet measured for a pair of shoes they will give your measurement based on either the UK or the European shoe size scale. When shopping on the internet for men's footwear you don't want to be ordering them and having to send them back because they don't fit. Even though you've had your feet measured and you know your size there's a little hiccup here because shoe manufacturers have tolerances in their sizing. Some manufacturers are on the small side and others on the large side. Therefore the next step after being measured is to try different manufacturers', make a note of those that fit according to your shoe size and those that you have to go up or down a size, note also the style. For example you'll find that Birkenstocks are in the main on the large size and most people drop down a size. The beauty here is that once you know your shoe size and have a feel for how the shoe size varies with the different styles and manufacturers, buying men's footwear online is easy. To make buying men's shoes online even easier here are a few tips; If you know the style and make of shoe you want be specific in your search. Only shop on websites that are reputable, don't just go for the cheapest. Read the about us, how long have they sold them? Read the returns policy can you send them back? Only shop on sites that you can speak to look for the phone number on the contact us page. Only part with your credit card details on a secure sight, look for the padlock at the bottom of the screen. Build a list of men's shoes sites and store them in your favourites. When one thinks about footwear, men's in particular, the first name to pop into ones mind are Brogues. Most would argue that they were an old English upper class mans shoe, not so. The word brogue is derived from Gaelic and translates to shoe. Brogue shoes originated in Ireland and Scotland, were made of heavy unrefined leather and were men's work shoes. Brogues are defined as low heeled men's shoes, very comfortable, having decorative perforations (holes) in the shape of an elaborate double u (W) separating the toe cap from the uppers with decorative perforations around the heel and seams. They are traditionally lace ups with five eyes on each side. In America Brogues are called wing tips as the decorative holes on the toe cap are in the shape of a 'W', resembling a bird unfurling its wings. They are further defined today as full, half and quarter brogues. The fractions refer to the amount of broguing (amount of perforations) on the shoe. The original brogue shoe was a workman's shoe. They had no tongue and holes (broguing) were put into them, this was to allow for drainage and quick drying as the men worked in the wet boggy peat fields of Ireland and Scotland. Traditional, modern day brogues are very sophisticated. Brogues are considered top of the range men's footwear in shoe circles. There are two main style types of brogues, one is the Oxford and the other is the Derby or Gibson. The Oxford style has a closed front which means that the eyelet tabs are stitched under the vamp and called a closed shoe whereas the Derby or Gibson have eyelet tabs sewn on top of the vamp and are called open shoes. Long wings or longwing are with a variation on the traditional W perforation pattern, the wing tips of the W stretch around the shoe, they were designed in the seventies and marketed in the UK as American brogues, and conversely in America they were called English brogues. Brogues are not limited to men's shoes anymore or men for that matter, you can buy boots and there are ladies shoes called brogues complete with the distinctive W pattern of perforations.

Factory Outlet Store Barons 13s,Air Jordan 11 Low Infrared 23 There are some things that you just shouldn't need to be told. For example, if you're taking over one of the most sensitive secret service positions in the country, try to keep personal information about yourself from being posted on the Internet. Would be assassins will have a lot harder time locating you that way, what with no address to plug into Google Maps and all. Sir John Sawer, soon to be Chief of the British MI6 almost certainly understood this. Unfortunately, his wife didn't. After finding out that John had been given the position of "C" (the real life equivalent of "M" from James Bond), Lady Sawer decided to post the good news on her Facebook account. Her Facebook account that, remarkably, had almost no privacy features enabled. This meant that basically any Facebook user could log on and find Sawer's address, favorite vacation spots and, most chillingly, photos of John rocking a Speedo. To be fair, John looks quite sophisticated in a suit. All of this information could then be passed along to the entire spectrum of Bond villains, even the shitty ones from the Timothy Dalton movies. To make matters worse, the page also revealed that Sawer's brother was a researcher for David Irving, a prominent Holocaust denier, which puts the MI6's top man approximately three degrees of separation from the crazy rascal who runs Iran. 3. Bob Quick Reveals Secret Raids We can come up with killer robots programmed using technology that won't be available for decades; armored vehicles that repel the strongest of missiles; firewall protection that can block the nastiest of viruses; and a thousand different ways to avoid embarrassing security leaks. But it isn't often that you can say a simple manila folder would have would have sufficed. A sombrero would have worked too. Anything opaque, really. Bob Quick, the now resigned English Assistant Commissioner, was less than careful when he approached the Prime Minister's office with secret plans for several raids in plain sight of the press. The plans, which could be seen clearly resting on top of two folders, detailed raids to take place against several Pakistani terror suspects, and were snapped up by photographers who apparently sit around waiting for shit like this to happen. The company that owned the rights to the photo, Getty Images, decided this shit looked serious, and probably compromised national security. Then, they promptly published the images on their website, because that's just how the Internet do. "Come on, guys. Honor system." It's pretty clear how this could have been a problem. Imagine you're a terrorist, and you wake up and find your picture on the front page of the newspaper under the heading "12 Terror Suspects to be Caught In Surprise Raids. Sometime Later This Month." Chances are you're not going to stick around just to act surprised like it's some kind of poorly planned surprise party. No, chances are you're going to flee the country and conduct your terrorist activities elsewhere, which is exactly why police had to conduct their raids much earlier than they had planned. While the government issued a notice preventing any British media from publishing the images, this did not prevent foreign media outlets from publishing it. Cracked, speaking on behalf of all non British media outlets, would like to make it clear that we are responsible. We take national security very seriously. After asking around, we've come to the conclusion that British based terrorists don't read Cracked (commenters, please don't prove us wrong) so yes, we would have published the images and turned them into a hilarious list without a second thought. The 9 Best Secret Hiding Spots (That are 'Bout to Get Raided). 2. Canadian Prime Minister Almost Murdered by Random Crazy Person We understand that the Canadian Prime Minister doesn't need the constant protection from suicidal bombers, gun wielding mad men and shoe wielding journalists that the US President has; but when , then we are inclined to believe that there may have been a slight screw up in national security. Historians call it the most interesting thing to ever happen in Canada. Now, we could forgive the security for failing to see an aspiring murderer on the front lawn of the Gorffwysfa for 20 minutes, or even the fact that he spent 30 minutes in the basement of the house without anyone noticing. But when he finally got the nerve to go and kill the Prime Minister, the first officer on the scene forgot his key, leaving the most powerful man in Canada to fend off a nutbag for another seven minutes. Perhaps if the Mounties weren't all moose, this could have been avoided. You know who also had no key? The schizophrenic guy who broke a window to get in. Also, we take it back, there is no reason for a crazy guy to be allowed to frolic around the Gorffwysfa unabated for 20 minutes. That's golf course security type shit. In it, you have all the launch codes you could possibly need to send America into nuclear war. The President doesn't actually carry the Football, a military aide accompanies him at all times with the briefcase chained to his wrist. But when you consider all of the insane security the President gets, and that little case of Mutually Assured Destructive goodness is practically untouchable. So what could possibly go wrong? Well, how about this: After a NATO Summit in 1999, Clinton decided he was finished 45 minutes before the scheduled departure time and left in a speeding motorcade, presumably to get somewhere Hillary wasn't and horny interns were. He had somewhere important to be. Unbeknownst to him, his aide and the Football had been left behind at the summit shifting nervously from side to side while eying foreign delegates and mouthing the words "give me a reason." I'll burn this motherfucker to the ground. Deciding that the President wasn't coming back to get him, nor were they going to send a car out to pick him up, he walked back half a mile, roughly four and a half blocks, alone to the White House carrying the most explosive briefcase in the history of mankind. Entire seasons of 24 have been launched on less implausible scenarios than this. The White House later remarked that the suitcase made it back safely and, seemingly shrugging off the incident, that "These things happen," which couldn't be more true. Aside from Clinton, nuclear bomb codes have been misplaced by Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan (to be fair, he was being shot at the time) and Jimmy Carter, who once left the doomsday codes in his dry cleaning. Comforting! Barons 13s I've seen "Kingyo Used Books" before myself. I remember a few of those volumes. The first volume had a pretty obscure manga called "Billy Puck." It was about a detective that worked in both Japan and the United States. And he wore a cap that was similar to the cap Cilan wore in "Pokemon Black White." It had a Japanese American who dressed a lot like the character in that manga. From what I've heard about the creator of that manga,he passed away early in his career or something. It's a shame that there aren't any more volumes of this manga in this country. It was a pretty good manga. And the cute girl on the cover ain't too bad either. You either pay reeeeeally close attention and get the permissions, or do stuff like "Slor Mon" to mask it. When I was reading Kingyo, I thought about how hard it must have been to get the permissions to allow the series to exist. And then it occurred to me how much harder it would have been for Viz, or Shogakukan . whoever handled that for America. Put up a tiny black spot and you're good to go.
