No way this could happen in real life!

I DID! I see three have done it so far.

No WAY it could have happened in the real game!

All hail the death of the Cheap Dunk Shoes thread!  May it die tonight (however I am pretty sure it will rise again like the pheonix from the ashes as soon as the spambot gets another name!)

Well, that didn't last long enough...back to my surfing.

I couldn't get a foot off the ground when I was 18. Now that I am 60 pounds heavier {And I've lost 30 pounds this last year}, I can't get 12" off the sofa!

Oh sure, there is plenty of information about unarmored dunk shoes, and even some stuff about the cheap lay-up shoes bonus, or the respawning cheap dunk cleats, but not a word about cheap dunk shoes. This game is nerfed

Status: offline 		All right...all RIGHT...OK............I fess up. I did look, but I did more. Yes, you read right - I ordered a pair.

I was desperately in need of a good pair of cheap dunk shoes for when ******** gets strapped to the cheap dunk chair and tossed into the cheap dunk tank in order to determine once and for all if he really is a witch. For such a celebration I truly needed an expensive pair of cheap dunk shoes.

They arrived this morning and I eagerly opened the package. Inside was a sheet of paper stating "Maid in Chena with prid by Markie". I immediately got a queasy feeling in my stomach. The next piece of paper said "Testd by Tomato mugger, our wid-eyed cort jster", and my knees became weak and shaky. Then was the final paper stating that my cheap dunk shoes had been "Inspocted by TermieGnat" and I knew - I just knew that my new expensive pair of cheap dunk shoes were not even an even cheaper imitation of what I was so hopefully expecting.

And I was right. They were not "cheap dunk shoes" and they had no soul, or soles for that matter. I think they were simply a pair of cheap drunk shoes.

So I tell you all, cancel your order now. Don't do as I have done. Get your cheap dunk shoes elsewhere!

Status: offline 		  I ordered a pair using my credit card!  For some reason I see some charges on it from half a dozen cities in WitP!  I think I will target those with 4E KBs next turn and turn them into Charred Dark Cities.

But only because you get a lot more 4E bombers than you should....and they fly more than they should. Obviously the game designers procured a real pair of Cheap Drunk Shoes.
