Just got my newt-insulated boots in the mail, and boy, are they cool!! Question: I noticed when I put them on, some of the newts get squooshed, and their guts get on my socks - will the newt guts come out in the wash? Or do I need to use Shout or Spray-n-wash?

You just need to get your socks newtered.

I don't have the newt-insulated, only the salamander-insulated. I've heard good things about the newt-insulated ones, though. The gut problems with salamander boots are just as bad, but the obvious benefits of both newt and salamnder insulated boots far outweigh this minor inconvenience, IMHO.

Almost went with the salamander ones, but there was an article on thenewtpacker.com (NOT newtpacker.com) that said the newts were more versatile, albeit more expensive....

Not until they get their socks newtered!

the newt guts have a much higher R-value than the salamander guts. the salamander guts are slightly lighter however, and come in more available colors....it's a trade off really...

The newt boots are best for wearing at newt beaches.

You can learn these things if you watch an all-newts channel.

I know, I know. I'm about as predictable as the inevitable newting of Iraq.

I still have one question. What has Sally's manners got to do with it Artex?

There really is nothing newt under the sun. I turned on the oldies station... they were playing the Newt Christy Minstrels.

I guess they didn't have to wear clothes if they were singing on the radio.
