I had always heard it meant that a gang had killed someone there and they hang his shoes to show it. Who knows, really...

I don't know about the shoes, either. But I do believe you about Menages, because when I clicked on the link (yes, I was a skeptic, I admit it!), my computer blocked me due to "adult content."

I think Steve Martin started the "finger quotes" in a Sat. Night Live skit back in da Seventies?

I know Austin Powers uses the finger quotes. I was really interested in the sneaker story. I had never heard about that before. We have some newly tossed sneakers on our lines and guess what? I've been having to deal with people congregating behind the medical building where I live near. Lately, like twice in the last week I've had people late at night under my window between my house and the medical building doing something...and I don't think its exchanging recipes. I did call 911 once and the cops came, but the people ran off before they got there. I was really frightened because we've been having a lot of drive by shootings in our town and the gas station a block away was just robbed. I CAN'T WAIT TO MOVE!!
