Ummm... should have been 'Big shoes'.
As the God of the Animals[1], I strongly protest against all forms of
violence towards poor species whose only fault is to exist. Those bugs are
not your enemy! They are *your friends*. They just want to play with you. They
need love and affection. Let them jump on your keyboard, help you code some
lisp. If you really have to use a shoe, it should be only to provide them a
tiny bed, with a rolled sock in it so that they could rest under your
protection, a peacefull night.
If you're kind with them and they still bother you, tell me. I'll talk to
them. I have spoken.
