do you like "flip-flops"?

I dress like bum, I walk like a bum.

Therefore, I am a bum.

Now go away.

Wow. Every post you make I want to be less and less like you!

Ok, what's with all the black mold growing under your toe-nails, and why would anyone want to see that? Look at the picture above, then look at any picture in the chest thread. Do you see a difference?

Puhleeez....cover those things up. Life it too short.

You mean the Mick Fanning models....I went through about 4 pair of those back in '06!

Now I'm rocking Croc flops!

Boy howdy. you're a real success. Lemme tell ya.

I have friends who would take a bullet for me. Thats real success.

Take a bullet, for a PPL? There are a few things that I can think about that, but success is not one of them. And as long as you're defining yourself in the eyes of others, you might as well just concede that you think it's important what others think of you too, no?

Well, when I was young, hitting the beach & surfing everyday, I wore them, Rainbow flip flops, then I went decades not wearing them, and a few years ago, my doc suggested that I lighten up, maybe even start wearing flip flops, so I ordered some Sperrys, and love em, don't wear them much outside of the house or the beach, but by getting a higher quality pair, they don't have the typical "flip-flop" issues other talk about, and Sperry has a great warranty, already replaced 2 pair.
but I draw the line & crocs

For me, I have tender toes and I do too many things that could get them smashed. I'm in steel toed boots way more often than I'm in flip flops.

Not particuarly. You just amuse me.

I have shared this thread with a few friends and we laughed our asses off. That was worth responding. Thanks!

Oh and thanks for the link to the Hokua. I just ordered a pair.

I'm probably nerdier than you anyway, lol.

[chocolatelab]

Wow this got wild.

Hold on....

I wear flip flops often.

Particularly in the evening around the house. Much better than slippers.

Its got to be a regional issue. Thongs vs docksides ( thats what we called them in upstate NY )

Speaking of slippers, I like to wear the ugg slippers with the soft wholly lining.

I hope that doesn't make me a degenerate.

No one should make the mistake of starting a slipper thread or else nobody will speak to each other again.

hmmmmmmmm



ps- I say no to crocs

Nothing wrong with a comfortable pair of flip flops. I like them on vacation, at the beach, or for quick turnarounds in/out of the house. Think repeated trips to the grill, taking out the trash, grabbing the mail, etc.

I, however, absolutely cannot drive the 911 wearing flip flops. The combination of bottom-hinged pedals, heavy cable clutch (flops always slide up and down my foot), and a complete loss of heal/toe ability means no flip flops driving the 911. How do you guys do it?

On occasion I have resorted to keeping a pair of more secure sandals or old sneakers behind the seat I can slip on to drive and then return to the flip flops after arrival at my destination.

PERFECT! Baz, you "lazy slob". Pull the socks and you look just like one of my posse...You know...us unsuccessful and retired lazy slobs who aren't "building $5MM in property" while wearing Sperry topsiders.
