Shouldn't that be "you don't need to see my puttees. Those aren't the puttees you are looking for."

Probably, but the gap between reply and submit meant the Starwars stuff appeared in between.

Those arn't Puttees they are Gaiters or Leggings.

These are Puttees.

Captain Antilles of the Rebel Alliance - brahn boots?

But not a Rebel Commando - they tend to wear puttees.

What I meant was, your boots are much, much better than Captain of the Rebel Alliance boots. Captain of the Rebel Alliance boots are brown, functional, plain and functional.

What you have are Fremen Warlord boots. The sort they wear to go out worm-riding. They say: power! confidence! flexibility! can-do! courage! independence! sweaty feet!

Make sure that really is a Wookie and not HAB. He had his bath yesterday and he might not have combed his hair yet.

That's a shame. There's plenty of beardy weirdy geeks on here for you to choose from.

Oh. Right. OK then...

<looks hard at Wookie..>

Can we not get a photo of you looking like this? (marginally NSFW).

My wife took the photo - DD1 was scared by the clone trooper at the back.

Your huge moustache is covering that poor child's head.

They are also functional.

Look, I felt dashing and daring and ready for anything with my weapon by my side

At no point did I feel like a beardy weirdy geek.

That picture paints a thousand questions...

Edit: mind you, you get a bucket of kudos for getting the missus to take a photo that is NSFW.

Those are just a posh pair of wellies!

[DiscoStu]

Possibly not what you were expecting...

Because variety is the spice of life and 4" heels could get caught while you are running across gangways returning fire...

I wasn't sure what I was expecting, I was just curious to see what kind of boots would make you feel like a captain in the rebel alliance!

(Very nice, BTW )
