Trick or treat

A Worthing man has admitted to making more than 1,200 nuisance calls to the NHS in a bid to satisfy his foot fetish. Richard William Cove admitted that he had rung 111 at least 1,263 times over a two year period, at a cost of more than £20,000 to the taxpayer.

Mr Cove, 45, of Boundary Road in Worthing, pretended to be an elderly woman when he called up 111. He would talk about his own height and feet while putting on the voice of an elderly woman, and then ask the 111 call handler to describe their own feet.

The most mysterious of fetishes to me, perhaps because I have ugly feet.

Here’s a word of friendly advice: don’t plug “feet” into a Google Images search, even if you limit the source to Wikimedia. Come to think of it, I guess my feet aren’t that ugly.

Uncle B reminds me someone named LavenderGirl won the Dead Pool. I never in my life heard of Bobby Bowden, but Wikipedia tells me he’s regarded as one of the greatest college football coaches of all time, so I’ll take it. I am not a sports.

Tomorrow, 6WBT, Dead Pool Round 145. Go Seminoles, I guess!

As for feet, I offer this number from Bing Crosby:

Mississippi Mud

When the sun goes down the tide goes out
The people gather round and they all begin to shout
Hey hey Uncle Dud
It’s a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi mud
It’s a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi mud

What a dance do they do
Lordy how I’m telling you
They don’t need no band
They keep time by clapping their hands
Just as happy as a cow chewing on a cud
When the people beat their feet on the Mississippi mud

Lordy how they play it
Goodness how they sway it
Uncle Joe, Uncle Jim
How they pound the mire with vigor and vim
Joy the music thrills me
Boy it nearly kills me
What a show when they go
Say they beat up either fast or slow

When the sun goes down the tide goes out
The people gather round and they all begin to shout
Say hey Uncle Dud,
It’s a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi mud
It’s a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi mud
What a dance do they do
Lordy how I’m telling you
They don’t need no band
They keep time by clapping their hands
Just as happy as a cow chewing on a cud
When the people beat their feet on the Mississippi mud

When the sun goes down the tide goes out
The people gather round and they all begin to shout
Hey hey Uncle Dud
It’s a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi mud
It’s a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi mud

What a dance do they do
Lordy how I’m telling you
They don’t need no band
They keep time by clapping their hands
Just as happy as a cow chewing on a cud
When the people beat their feet
When the people beat their feet
When the people beat their feet
On the Mississippi mud

People?
Oh…yeah, right.

First heard that song when “Major General Bartford Hamilton Steele” – (Harry Morgan), cracked up on M.A.S.H.
Mentioned in the 1st comment in the link Uncle Al provided.

Harry also played “Major Pott” – also driven mad, in “What did you do during the war daddy”

Major Pott : [driven mad after being lost in the catacombs for days] Cannon to the right of them! Cannon to the left of them! Volley’d and thunder’d and Donder and Blitzen!

Here’s another version I find to be a little snappier.

Yeah, Weasy’s right, don’t go looking up feet videos.
And what’s weird is some people apparently watch videos of their social media heroes, and make lewd comments about their feet, based on a video Durned Son#3 showed me of a pretty Asian girl trying to get up from a sitting position and going to great lengths not to expose her feet.
He tried to explain it to me, people are weird.

*timidly raises hand in back of room*

Is there a new Dead Pool today since Lavender Girl appears to have the win on the last one?

Yes! Queueing it up now!

My toes have taken an abnormal amount of abuse over the years. Bedframes, coffee tables, tree stakes while playing barefoot, fire, bowling ball(s), sharp implements dropped by others, miss-timed kicks, amongst other expletive inducing incidents. My little sister still refers to one of ’em as “The Oogly Toe” to this day.

The rest of my foot? Nary a scratch, luckily.

The human foot originally had only one toe. Owing to the abuse as mentioned by LesterIII did the five on each foot evolve. My experience includes having a foot run over by a Volkswagen and a HMMV (no damage either time).

So, will similar pics be a new feeture here? (sorry, I’ll see myself out.)

@Uncle Al,

Thanks for posting that version. It featured the legendary cornetist Bix Beiderbecke.

@Durned… M.A.S.H. sure couldn’t be made today. Your link sent the YT algorithm down the boogie-woogie rabbit hole.

Is it just me or is Benny baked or what?

@BJM – Paul Whiteman/Irene Taylor – let’s try it again.
Without that superfluous space.

Beware: more than one link in a comment is apt to earn you a trip to the spam filter, where you will remain -- cold, frightened and alone -- until I remember to clean the trap. But, hey, without Akismet, we'd be up to our asses in...well, ass porn, mostly.
