Baptism by Fiber

Your Thought For Today:

Surprisingly enough, the end of your life will include 20 minutes of credits, copyright information and a rather sad, zither-based closing theme.


Before long, you’ll be able to call me Dr. Bubba. After many years of diligence, hard work and attention to detail, I have finally perfected my new wonder-product, SoulSoles® shoe inserts, my miracle in foot-soothing technology that incorporates a minimum of four areas of pseudoscience with a revolutionary new concept in transcendental awareness.

For years, I’ve researched the regimens and protocols of the world’s greatest philosophers, from Gandhi to the Maharishi Marakesh Yogi to the Dali Lama of Tibet. I’ve delved into the psyches of Freud and Jung, studied the habits of Aristotle, Socrates, Karl Marx, Jimmy Swaggert, Dr. Phil and St. Thomas Aquinas, and discovered a common thread that runs through each individual:

They all had feet.

Several world religious movements promote the concept of total-body wellness. Could it be that we’re paying too much attention to our heads at the cost of ignoring the real center of the soul, the sole? I came upon the hypothesis some years back, when after a particularly-intense bout with the Budweiser Brown-Bottle Flu, my neurological system seemed to ignore most all stimuli save those applied to the soles of my feet by that little bastard, Clarence Simmons—my wife’s nine-year-old nephew. Besieged by morning-after misery brought on by a New Year’s Eve party, I tried every form of miracle cure known to mankind, with no success. Then, after an hour or so of chasing Clarence away from my bed (and my feet) with his chosen implement of torture, GI Joe®, I asked the little woman to rub my ankles and feet a little. Immediately, I realized that my head throbbed less with each tender touch she administered... and an idea was born.

However, SoulSoles® are not just a mere shoe insert. They are a total body-rejuvenation system. The difference is the way they harness the power of magnetism to properly align the bio-magnetic field around your foot. Its (soon-to-be) patented FaithGrid® design, which features more than 200 isometrically-aligned contour points, actually soothes while it heals, restoring the foot's natural bio-flow.

I have written scientific-sounding literature trumpeting my new insoles, paying particular attention to the Contour Points™ that take advantage of the semi-plausible medical technique known as reflexology. Practiced in the Orient for many years, reflexology establishes a correspondence between every point on the human foot and another part of the body, enabling your soles to heal your entire body as you walk.

Now, you may say, ‘But, Bubba, any insole can do that!’... and you would be wrong. While other insoles have used magnets and reflexology as keys to their appearance of usefulness, SoulSoles® go several steps further by utilizing the healing power of crystals to re-stimulate dead foot cells with vibrational biofeedback... a process similar to that by which medicine makes people better. You’ll just have to trust me on this one, the explanation is so technical it’d probably be over your head. Only great scientists like me can really get a handle on it.

In addition, SoulSoles® employ a brand-new, cutting-edge form of pseudoscience known as Bubbometry, developed specially by one of our country's most-esteemed pseudoscientists, moi.
The principles of Bubbometry state that the earth resonates on a very precise frequency, which it imparts to the surfaces it touches. If the frequency of your feet are out of alignment with the Earth, the entire body suffers. Highly-sensitive (not to mention hideously expensive) resonator nodules implanted at key spots in SoulSoles® convert the wearer's own energy to match the Earth's natural vibrational rate (47.09054 nanobubbas). The resultant harmonic energy field rearranges the foot's naturally occurring atoms, converting the pain-nuclei into pleasing comfortrons.

I’d like to add this testimonial from Mr. Ezra Franken of Spiveyville, Alabama (who is no relation to me, although it is rumored that his daddy may somehow be kin to Louise’s side of the family) who agreed to be a guinea pig for SoulSoles®:

“I recently jumped off the roof of Jimmy Ray Eckert’s barn. The reasons aren’t important, but I broke both femurs in multiple places. I thought I should go to the doctor, but Dr. Bubba convinced me that he’d take care of everything, so I agreed to give him a chance. For the last 27 weeks I’ve undergone intense therapy with SoulSoles®, and with any luck at all, within a few months I should be able to walk to the bathroom by myself, even if I do need a walker.”

Excuse me... I need to get a hanky. That story always makes me cry. By the way, just so you’ll know, I didn’t charge Jimmy Ray a dime for his SoulSoles®. That’s just the kind of guy I am.

I’d better stop before I give too much away and you steal my idea. I may be philanthropic, but I ain’t stupid. Write to me and we’ll negotiate a price for my little miracles. You need ‘em, trust me.

Aw, Bubba...you forgot the best pitch about sending me "not one but TWO sets of soulsouls® if I order now. And what about the free gift? Heck, just send them anyway. I don't usually fall for these gimmicks but your testimonial pushed me over the edge!

...damn it Bob! How do you do it...? Stay so grounded in humor, tho there is the sound of a footstep on the stair...Very Well Done...

Bubba said...

Shirley-- Damn! I guess I just lack that extra gusto needed to be a true huckster! I should have thought of that! Say... you wouldn't care to be my National Sales Manager, would you?

Anonymous said...

Alright, Dr. Bubba! Put me down for a truckload. Great stuff:)

Bubba said...

Poetman-- Think of it as the view from the bottom of the well... everything up there looks so good that you're inclined to climb rather than wait. And, yes... I hear the footsteps. Thanks for stopping by, I always appreciate your input.

Bubba said...

Julie-- A truckload it is... er, would that be in black, mauve or fuchsia? And I'll need an indication of size... Pixie, Tinkerbell, Dolly Parton, Lonnie Anderson or Sheena (I'm assuming you've seen your feet once or twice since the onset of puberty).

heh heh heh

R.L. Bourges said...

Bubba, I ran this one by my expert advisor, the Soul of Danish Physicist, Niels Bohr. Who goes on boring everyone about the Nobel Prize in Physics they gave him in 1922.

Anyway, Niels had this to say: "Bubba's theory sounds crazy enough to be true." verbatim, Bubba, I have it right here on my patented Ghost Deflectometer, the one that... Wait, have I told you about...

I haven't?

OK. You show me your patent pending and I'll show you mine, OK?

(Niels loves those confortrons, btw)

Bubba said...

R.L. Bourges-- Whew! Is it getting hot in here? Show-and-Tell with none other than the greatest bilinguist on the planet?? Be still my foolish heart!!

Yes, I seem to recall Dr. Bohr's (Snoozy, as we knew him back in the day) treatise on all things pretentious. He wasn't so high and mighty when we dragged him out of that Copenhagen brothel and got him his shots, I'll tell you that much!

Careful! The existence of your Ghost Deflectometer leaves you at risk for patent-violators throughout the world... so never tell anyone your address (#3 Rue de Strasse, Montreal, Canada).

Oops...

Hey Bubba, thanks for the job offer. When can I start? I knew this blogging thing would pay off. I just need to cancel a few interviews and I'll be available. I even promise to spell it right next time. And keep that foot off the stairs cause you ain't goin nowhere!

Jo Janoski said...

Oh, as soon as I heard "comfortrons" I knew I had to have these puppies. Send me some! They'll go well with my
"Kiyome Kinoki™ Detox Foot Pads"

Bubba said...

Jo-- I just lost it... I promise I'll never write anything like this again. Hahahahahaha!

Shirley-- I think you need to go work for Jo instead. :)

"Boss! Boss! Ze Sheeft! Ze Sheeft!"

yes, yes, these SouleSoles(TM) must herald the arrival of The Shift!!!

I would like three....
not three pairs, just three.
(don't ask).
And I need a sharp stick.
love this as always.

Anonymous said...

lol

this sounded totally legitimate to me, right up until 'nanobubbas'.

There is a seed of truth to it, that's what makes it so funny. At my mom's massage place, they do this toxin thing now where they suck all sorts of grime out of the bottom of her feet.

I used to have a weird, plant loving, energy/aura sensitive boyfriend, and he really could sort of heal through energy. I took a lot out of him, it woulda never worked, I sorta appropriated his good vibes. But his foot-rubs were orgasmic.

What is the difference between an unlocked iphone and a "high quality" copy iphone from China? I can't understand why they are so expensive on eBay and other sites offer them for less.
