Fun Facts

  • "A note to our younger readers: please do not actually say any of these things to a shoe. They are highly offensive." - James Turner


  • Beaver's taunt is a reference to the French soldier in Monty Python's Holy Grail "Your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberries!". (James' note: no it's not!)
  • "These shoes are killing me" is often said when one is wearing uncomfortable shoes, rather than being literally assaulted like Steve.
