Seemed perfectly innocent to me. I think it's perfectly valid to remark on a $184 pair of toe straps, even if it wasn't a record. And I find the adventures of kauzo and his colleagues fascinating. No one is challenging or even questioning how they choose to spend their money, but it is fascinating all the same.

"Eastern guns ablazin" was supposed to be metaphorical. Now I know that I was actually slighting Japanese buyers and their work ethic. I shan't do it again.
