I've been in PF for a year, and I've never really revealed my sex before, let alone shoe size.

Well, I'm a female with a shoe size of 8! : And I used to think I had large feet. :redface: :-p

:smile: Wow! Based on your avatar, which I of course assumed was a photo of yourself :-p , I never guessed you were female! :blushing: Well, yep, seems you're in good company here! So, so far Tsunami is the only odd one here with those dainty little size 7s. :biggrin:

When I was a kid and wanted "grown-up" shoes, but my feet were still too small, the guy in the shoestore told me eating lots of mashed potatoes would make my feet get bigger :smile:

You can't exactly find an avatar on the net that combines the geek factor with the female factor, now can you? :frown: :biggrin:

Maybe the way to go is to flatten it instead of fatten it? :confused:

Some people are very unfortunate : they grow and grow forever, and it won't stop. Usually, when they reach 8'5", they prefer to go hiding in the forest, because of all the inconvenience you know, scaring kids, being called freak, having to sew your own clothes... Don't worry TheBob & Miles ! They have a fine place with the internet, deep in Amazonia, so the essential is safe : you can keep hanging around with us in PF :-p

Ok, but I am only 16. I am too young to go into hiding. :frown:
