The scene in the bar where the Mudders are gathering around the guitar player, one of the mudders in the front row is wearing WHITE tennis shoes. White shoes in Muddertown would last about 2.3 seconds. Anybody else notice this?

We got you partially surrounded.

Well, they are certainly white - i think its too far away to make the determination that its tennis shoes.

However you are right it seems unlikely one would have so very white shoes for very long.

Perhaps they arrived on the weekly Jayday and he had put on his finest shoes :)

Now I have to go rewatch the episode (such a hardhip)
but I'm thinking that dried clay looks white on boots....
but I must actually rewatch and stop the DVD and inspect the scene closely....

There is a distinct difference between the tan color of the mud on his clothes and the white of his shoes. Athletic shoes probably would have been a better description.

On another matter, there is an episode (I forget which), Jayne is sitting in the dining room cleaning something small and round. I think he is polishing his money. Gives new meaning to the word "shiny."

The tennis shoes thing might just be a regional thing. Same idea, different name. Like crawfish, crayfish, crawdad, mudpuppy....

In Safe Jayne cleans Book's blood from the money Mal has retrieved at the risk of his fingers.

Not to nitpick, but. . .

Mudpuppies is a general name for neotenic salamanders (salamanders that keep their gills and stay aquatic their whole lives instead of metamorphosing into a terrestrial adult form). Crayfish, crawfish, and crawdads are freshwater crustaceans.

Bit of a diference there- I guaruntee.

But I wouldn't be surprised if they were both used in cajun cooking! ;)

Sorry bout that, you're right. I keep feeling there's another name that's not similar for the crustaceans, though.

Hmm, can't think of one off hand. Hushpuppies are as tasty as crayfish, but once again it's a false comparison. ;) But seriously, though, all nomenclatural nitpicking aside, your central point was valid.
