Well, let me tell ya somethin’ ’bout this “zero grand” thing, whatever it is. Folks keep jabberin’ about it, so I figured I’d put in my two cents, even if I don’t rightly understand all the fancy talk.
First off, seems like some folks are talkin’ ’bout shoes. Cole Hahn, they say. “Zero grand” shoes. Now, I ain’t never spent a “grand” on shoes in my life, let alone zero of ’em! But these shoes, they say they’re comfy, like walkin’ on air. One fella even said he got three pairs! Must be somethin’ special, I reckon.
- They say somethin’ ’bout a “GrandOS,” whatever that is. Sounds fancy.
- And somethin’ ’bout a “FlowerFoam” sole made outta dandelions. Dandelions! Imagine that. Them weeds we used to pull outta the garden are now in shoes. The world’s a funny place, I tell ya.
- And they talk about “sustainability,” that’s a big word. Means they’re tryin’ not to waste stuff, I think. Good for them, I guess. We always tried not to waste nothin’ back on the farm.
But then there’s other folks talkin’ ’bout a “grand prize” in some game. Zenless Zone Zero, they call it. And some fella named Anton wants to win it. Sounds like a big deal. They even got a “Trust Commission,” whatever that is. Sounds important. Maybe like a will, you know, when someone passes on and leaves their things to someone. We didn’t have nothin’ fancy like that back in my day, just passed down what little we had.
Now, some folks are arguin’ about these zero grand shoes. Some say they ain’t worth the money, not as good as the “AE” version, whatever that is. They say the sole ain’t soft enough. Picky, picky, picky! Back in my day, we wore whatever shoes we could get our hands on, and we were grateful for ’em!
And there’s talk about other shoes too, “Original Grands.” Folks say they ain’t as good as the “zero grands,” not for the price anyways. Too much like a “fashion middleman,” they say. I don’t even know what that means! Sounds like a lot of fuss over shoes to me.
Then there’s this fella, Elscud, talkin’ ’bout exchangin’ questions. Reminds me of gossiping over the fence with my neighbors, though I sure didn’t talk like no Elscud! And someone else named Kotaro answerin’ questions. Seems like everyone’s got somethin’ to say ’bout this “zero grand,” whatever it is.
So, what’s the deal with this “zero grand” thing? Well, from what I can gather, it’s mostly about shoes. Fancy shoes, expensive shoes, comfortable shoes. Shoes made with dandelions, for cryin’ out loud! But it’s also ’bout a game, a prize, and folks arguin’ back and forth. It’s a whole lot of nothin’ and a whole lot of somethin’ all at the same time, if you ask me.
But you know what I think? I think people just like to talk. They like to complain, they like to compare, they like to argue. And they like to have nice things, even if those nice things are just shoes. And if they can get ’em for “zero grand,” well, all the better, I reckon. Though I still don’t understand how you can buy somethin’ for zero grand. Seems like a fool’s bargain to me, but then again, I ain’t no expert on nothin’, ‘specially not “zero grand.”
It’s all just a bunch of hullabaloo, if you ask me. Folks gettin’ all worked up over things that don’t really matter. Back in my day, we didn’t have time for such nonsense. We had work to do. But that’s just me, an old woman who don’t know much ’bout the fancy ways of the world. But if these shoes are comfy like folks say, maybe I’d give em a try, but they would have to be on sale and not for any “zero grand,” that just sounds fishy to me. I like a good deal, I do, but it has to be fair.
Anyways, that’s my two cents on this “zero grand” business. Hope it made some sense, even though I probably sound like a crazy old woman just ramblin’ on. But that’s alright. At my age, I earned the right to ramble a little. And if you ask me again tomorrow, I’ll probably tell ya a different story altogether. That’s just how it is.
