Not sure about the lanyard thing.

I had to look all those up as well. Those rubber shoes look bad on anyone though, who the hell decided THAT was a good idea? It's even more moronic than that lanyard thing we had a couple years back, that made everyone look like roadies. How dumb was that? Or maybe that didn't happen on your side of the Atlantic. Fauxhawks though, eh, on the right guy (or girl) I can live with em. Don’t feel too bad. I had to look all those up as well.
