Why the hell are sneakers called sneakers? Every pair I've owned Squeak.
Can't see anyone sneaking up on someone with squeaky shoes, can you?
 
mine squeak like a dog toy

wait a minute
SO THAT WHY DOGS RIPPED UP MY SNEAKERS THOSE BASTARDS!!!!!
 
They were called that by Americans. 'Nuff said. :p

(Note to all Americans: I am joking. Do not take offence) :rolleyes:
 
Thats what I'm saying. Why do the yanks call them sneakers. Call them Trainers, you TRAIN in them. Makes more sense
 
Hmmm. Our version of 'football' also has very little to do with the foot. In many ways we are idiots.
 
Finally a american admit that their version of football
is not football

eh that went well
 
Well, British footie is better.

Anyway, the point: Brits are better than Americans. :)

(though as soon as they all log on, I'm sure that'll change) :( :p
 
Just think, they all came from small countries. UK, France, Spain and Scandinavia. THEY'RE LIKE RABBITS
 
hey that the perfect way to save the hounds realease them in america
