Alan's Feet

These are Alan's slippers. Well, actually, they were his girlfriend's but he stole them. I know, it's ridiculous- Teddy Slippers; whatever next? Anyway, Alan says he likes them because they are "practical".
By which he means he likes them because they have a hard sole, suitable for pottering about outside. Which he does. In the slippers. Out the front.
You can see why I thought they deserved a post of their own, can't you?
It is particularly interesting to see Alan sporting this fabulous footwear when performing odd jobs around the house. Up and down to the basement, carrying a hammer or similarly butch accessory with the little teddy feet nodding along. Then, up the ladder, frowning knowingly at some light fixture, hole or crack, the teddies perched atop the rungs. "Pass me the screwdriver, Big Teddy", he'll say. It is very hard to take such a request seriously. As for the slippers, who knows what they think of the whole thing. Certainly, their lives have become more exciting, more dangerous and decidedly more smelly since they have been comandeered.
