Here's a look at the soles of Nik and Dan's screw-shoes, all mucked up with slush, salt, and sand.

The screw heads stick out of the rubber sole a bit, so they act as cleats. No damage to the inside of the shoes, and no, you don't end up piercing yourself.

Nik reviewed a Thriv bamboo-fabric workout shirt. Nice logo, isn't it?

As you can see, the shirt is made of great bamboo material, but the white color is rather ... uh ... sheer.

Speaking of sheer-colored shirts: here's Sweet Daddy D just out for a quick holiday bite to eat with some of his buddies. It's amazing how many of them can fit in his hot tub! Thanks, Sweet Daddy D! Merry Christmas!
