Explanation of The Manolo

If you guys take a look at my blogroll over to the left hand side, you'll see a link to Manolo's Shoe Blog.  No, this does not mean the JoeSchmo he loves the fashion of the shoes.  This means that the JoeSchmo he loves the syntax of the Manolo.  Seriously, the Manolo he is like the second coming of the Yoda.  Squished, sliced, and taped back together sentences, what is not to love in the writing of the Manolo.  But the Manolo's best writing is in the critiquing of the Horrors of the Fashion of the Shoe.  Ha!  The JoeSchmo he laughs!  Here is an excerpt of the Manolo's review of the Birkenstocks:

This shoe, it looks like it was put together by the blind medieval monks, for wear by the peasants of the mud.  For some of the reason, unknown to the Manolo, this shoe it has the cachet with the bohemians and the pot-smoking hippies of the crunchiness. Indeed, you would have to be high to wear this.  Like many of the worst of the shoes, it's defenders they trumpet the comfort of this "shoe".  Ha! The Manolo he laughs!  There are many shoes that they are perfectly comfortable without making the wearer look like the dork.  Manolo says, if you insist on wearing these ugly shoes, be certain to wear the wooly socks of grey for the full effect.

That is the pure comedy of the gold.
