posted by on August 27 at 12:53 PM

Does someone have a pair of tap shoes, size 10 or 11, that I can borrow next week for the RNC?

Ask David Schmader.

Best post ever. Any explanation would ruin it.

Asbestos underwear - that's what you need.

And when you sleep, make sure there are no youth pastors who can get in.

Dan-
Just want you to know that for tap shoes, you need to go a size smaller than what you typically wear. Not sure what you're using them for, but just an FYI

I have loose dance taps that can be attached to any shoe you like, but no shoe in that size.

@ 7 - I never heard that.

Angel's Shoe Repair on Republican at 15th can hook you up with some taps.

Gaybaiting -- hooray.

This prank essentially ensures that the Gays will receive more coverage and exposure at the RNC than we've seen so far at the DNC (spare the dudes who hang out behind Anderson Cooper when he's on air), no?

I saw some cheap tap shoes at the Red Light the other day but I don't remember the size. I'd like a pair myself.

@10 - now that would be sweet - buying tap shoes on Republican to go to the RNC Lie Fest!

Tap shoes!? I don't dance! I can't dance, you little bastard!

Mine are size 7.5, Dan. If you don't mind squishing your toes, their yours for the borrowing.

You might also contact Johnson and Peters Tap Studio in Greenlake for pointers and maybe they have some tap shoes lying around:

I have a pair. Ask Kiley for my contact info.

I don't think that's what Larry Craig meant by tapping, Dan. Though it might be funny to follow him around in tap shoes.

I have no clue what you're up to this time. But I love you more a little each day.

Also any shoe repair shop near a military base will add taps to just about any shoes. Yeah, I know...but we had to wear taps on our boots for the honor guard.

whatever prank you're planning to do, just remember:

The Simpsons have probably all ready done it...

You're going to do it in blackface, aren't you.

I'm guessing you're going to sit in the Larry Craig stall and tap your little heart out. Is Kelly O going into that men's room to tape it?

I vote "yes" on blackface. Rs will eat that shit up with a spoon. They'll eat it like the shit in that guy's bathtub from yesterday.

@20 - quite true.

Waxie Moon give Dan Savage pair of tap shoes, Dan Savage bring tap shoes to RNC, put on tap shoes, crash FOX News booth in Minneapolis-St. Paul, do crazy lurid dance on camera, freak out, Abbie Hoffman out, DAN SAVAGE BECOME ABBIE HOFFMAN!

ABBIE HOFFMAN WILL INCITE RIGHT-WING WACKO RIOT AT RNC, GUARANTEE GOP LOSS OF 2008 ELECTIONS!

And no, I don't feel like letting it go.
