Spur of the moment bonus Caption Challenge: Flaherty. Shoe.

Winner declared on Friday morning

by Scott Feschuk on Thursday, March 4, 2010 2:42pm - 74 Comments

UPDATE

Runners-up: Blair (“So this is what taxpayers look like.”); Amateur Hour (“If I dial 99, does Barbara Feldon answer?”); Jonathan McKinnell (“These shoes have hardly any soul, reminds of me of some of the people I work with.”); CAPS (“Mr. Prime Minister, I finally managed to pull this out of my a**. Do you still want it back?”); and Jason G. (“This is the worst Blackberry ever.”)

Winner: Confirming my bias toward Lucky-Charms-themed humour as it pertains to our Finance Minister, I’m giving it to Patchouli (“Can I get these in green?”) Send your address and shoe size to me at scott.feschuk@macleans.rogers.com and your Dr. Scholls will find their way to you, Patchouli.

•••

Because the only way I could like this photo any more was if it featured Gary Lunn and platform boots, I am declaring a bonus caption challenge:

No vote, but I’ll declare a victor on Friday morning. The winner will receive one (1) set of Dr. Scholl’s Massaging Gel Insoles.

There's no buttons. Can't be a cell shoe phone. Damn kid staffers in the PMO are messing with me again. Unless it's one of them new iPod Touch Shoe Phones Trudeau was yapping about. Wonder how you get the screen to light up…

I think that the pair I had when I kicked the sh@t out of Ontario's social programs and ran up their deficit were a lot sturdier. I dunno if these are gonna cut for what's coming next… but they are shinny!

Not a submission… but one can almost imagine a family connection.

I got it Stevie! – I think we could take all the old shoes from the basement and sell them to disaffected Liberlas to throw at their assigned leader … who knows maybe they will at least try to practise what they preach and figure having a real leadership convention might just be a good idea after – unless of course the ol bay st. gang and the Igster are afraid of the result!

I'm borrowing from McKinnell (who should win hands down) but here goes.

Flaherty's shoes were like his budget: They were covered in excrement and had no sole.

these shoes are shiny but they may not be shiny enough now that i can't write off botox injections, teeth whitening, liposuction, and hair replacement procedures!
