testing the strength of my self control

“You have three pair of Star Wars shoes?  I thought you only had two.”

The above statement can be taken two different ways.  First, with the implication that my wife finds me way hotter now that she knows I have three pair of Star Wars shoes.  Or, more likely, she could think I’m way nerdier.

Regardless of how you interpret her statement, the fact that I only own three pair of Star Wars shoes deserves a lot of credit.  Considering the limited supply of the kicks combined with their very high phatness quotient*, it would be reasonable to have purchased every last one of the releases.  But I didn’t.  I limited myself, even though I might never have the opportunity to buy Star Wars kicks again.  Good job, me.

*If you are interested in acquiring the actual equation for the phatness quotient, you’ll have to contact my mother-in-law.  She is a nationally known math methods professor, and is very close to earning her Ph.D.  I don’t believe the phatness quotient is the actual subject of her dissertation, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it at least makes an appearance.

But hark! The foul temptress of indulgence is preparing to rear her head again.

*Gasp*

Word came down the line this month that Adidas is planning a whole new run of Star Wars product for the upcoming Fall/Winter season.  My initial reaction is that I don’t love the new line.  Some of it is really quite ugly.  But there are three products I am incredibly smitten with.

Problem: I already have too many shoes/clothes/jackets.

Problem: The two items I want the most are a bit too fashion forward for my wife to be seen with me in public wearing them.

I don’t know what the solutions are to those two problems.  But I do know that no one on the corner would have swagger like me if I was rolling around in a Chewbacca-themed jacked with matching boots this winter.

And that, my friends, is a little thing I like to call “hawtness personified”.
