    any way sticks, your suggestion is totally ridiculous, people need to walk on soot, it is their right to walk on soot.

    Wear aluminum (or as you folks write it, aluminium) shoes.

    No carbon footprint there, unlike those who employ certain kinds of steel.

    And, remember, according to the YECs and IDers, your carbon footprints (even if there are fourteen of them) are completely unreliable.

    that's because YECs and IDers have carbon omissions.

    Why would I avoid walking on Sooty's floor? If it's good enough for Sweep, Soo and Harry and Matthew Corbett, it's good enough for me.

    [Superior tone] I believe it was a glockenspeil, actually.

    Good for Mak, but how about Tom?

    Question: will those across the pond get that archaic reference?

    You could also walk on your hands.

    Jenny Craig has a new program that will reduce your carbon footprint by two sizes in only four weeks by transferring it to Kirstie Allie.

    "What this team needs is a good home run hitter!" said Tom ruthlessly.

    Let's see. Here's a glockenspiel.



    And here's a xylophone.




    "I could really enjoy a good Martini right now." said Tom dryly.

    Boy, do I feel dumb. The obvious way to reduce your carbon footprint is to hydrogenate it.

    Quite similar to the best method for sobering up a drunk parrot (discovered by a pianist named Domino): polyunsaturate it, Fats.

    My brother's roommate had an African Gray parrot that loved drinking beer out of any open container it could get it's beak into. He seemed to know his limit, though, he'd have a few tastes then go sit on his perch with his eyes half-shut.
