Feets, don't fail me now

I got the rubber feet I'm going to wear in my role as the Troll in the upcoming community theater production of "The Surprising Story of the Three Little Pigs."  I had to laugh when I saw them, which means everyone else probably will, too :-)

You know what they say about the size of a man's feet.
The play is really starting to come together.  Everyone is getting more comfortable in their roles, we're refining the dialogue and improving the blocking to the point where I can tell it's going to be a blast to watch.  Within the next few weeks, we'll tighten everything up even more until we're performing like a well-oiled machine.  Then, when they've mastered the intricacies of the characters, developed every entertaining nuance and inflection, everyone will take the stage and pretend to be piggies, billy goats or bears. 

Meanwhile, I'll just walk onstage in these babies and everyone will laugh hard enough to piss themselves.  I'll be the hit of the show before I open my mouth!  You simply can't teach this kind of talent. 

But you can buy it for $2 in a costume thrift store.
