I think what we should all take away from this story is that poor people could take care of themselves if we'd just repeal those pesky child labor laws.

You know who else was into recycling shoes?

FTA: but he even his own mom admitted she didn't think it would get as big as it has.

they accidently there

Time keeps on slippin' into the future doesn't it 70'smitter?

Do people still remember that song?

The older I get the more I realize time keeps on slippin' into the future.

I always sing, "shoot the...."

brigid_fitch: FTFA: "When he decided to start this, I laughed. I mean, I laughed at him. I was standing right here," said Megan Shilling.

Great show of support, Mom.

Son: "Mom, I want to do something nice for poor orphans in Haiti"
Mom: "Bwahahahahaha!"

it's about time parents stop encouraging their precious snowflakes, having them believe they can do or be whatever they want.

Twizang: I always sing, "shoot the...."

beat me to it.

100wmarshall poor people could take care of themselves if we'd just repeal those pesky child labor laws.

Ron Swanson approves

Pittsburgh

Sounds like a shoddy operation

Sounds socialist.

without shoes they'll be slippin...slippin...slippin..

No letter "H"s were killed in the creating of this article.
(OK, Maybe one)

exploding pork: Pittsburgh

Subby's hert was in the rite plaiss.

Still reads "An 8-year-old Pittsburg boy shoes the children with no shoes on their feet. See? There's a solution [Spiffy]" on my RSS Feed, glad someone corrected it be sad to think I liter would have to point this out

Haha apparently it was still a liter that pointed it out.

Yes Pittsburgh is like the ONLY "burgh" city to have NOT dropped the H from the end

He probably has a shoe fetish.

straight up pompatus

cmunic8r99: how does he get them to hold still while he nails them on?

I always think the same thing.

What's wrong with this kid? He should have taken the money and bought those kids some iPod Shuffles from Best Buy.

Does this kid pull shoes off the power lines or something?

This is the first one of these stories where it sounds like the kid actually deserves the credit. Had the initiative to go and do something themselves and its not just mom and dad looking for spotlight for their snowflake.

Kudos to the kid's school for not getting all uptight about it. These things often start out well enough but then switch from "bring your old but still useful stuff so that someone less fortunate can make use of it" to "must be new, in a box, checks made out to 'CASH' would be preferred."

you mean this sort of stuff happens without a government decree or grant?

lies, LIES I TELL YOU!

fatkidinabeenie: Haha apparently it was still a liter that pointed it out.

Yeah it was dropped in 1890 along with the rest of the burghs, but put back in 1911. Those silly Pittsburghers.

I thought this was about an East Bay California city for awhile.

"An 8-year-old Pittsburg boy shoes the children with no shoes on their feet. See? There's a soulution"

FTFM

This explains all the poor people walking around Pittsburgh with L.A. Lights.

kid should try asking for something useful next time like water wings.....

If they would cut down all those shoes hanging from power lines in Philly they would have enough to shoe every kid in the tri-state area...

Apparently youve never heard of edinburgh, newburgh, and moscowburgh.

Gonna fly like a beagle...

Really?

Isn't the line "House the people, living in the street"?

You mean he wasn't busted by some anal-retentive civil servant on a power trip for not having a Permit to Collect Shoes for Charity?

Too obscure?



For all you non-fisherman, it's an eagle owl fly...

oh well, at least the song has a nice hook...

Shoe the shoeless? (new window)

Shotgun Justice: Isn't the line "House the people, living in the street"?


That's the next line.

Nice subby. Got the reference right away.

What a shoeing may look like
