I guess you can call me 14 then. Seriously. It gets hard to find shoes after 13.

My original name was SphincterBoy, which was a nickname an old boss used to call me in fun. However, Bommando PM'd me that I should change it to meet TG standards. I was hard pressed to think of something that sounded right so I settled on what it is now. Unfortunately I didn't give any thought about how often it would be mispronounced.

Do you Aussies use the same sizing as here in the U.S. or is it unique like in Europe? If it's a U.S. size 18 I feel for you - finding shoes must be a real pain. Especially cleats for sports.

Oh, I know. We seem to have measurement systems all our own. While metric would be easier in many ways, it's hard to teach old dogs new tricks.

And we trace our origins largely back to England...so let's blame them.
