clown shoes.
I realize as I write this post I am opening myself up to public ridicule. Jeff wanted me to post something however, and I just really want to do whatever he wants me to do. Is this what you want Jeff?
I need help understanding the difference between these two pictures. That's right. I am just going to come out and say that when I see Crocs the first picture association that flashes into my mind is "clown shoes". Adult clown shoes. Is that rude?
Before any of you decide to tear into me, let me also say there is an "acceptability spectrum". Children. Fine. Let the kids wear whatever they want. Ladies. Okay, women like "comfortable" and they like to color code. Still not my favorite, but okay. Men. No. Unacceptable. Hell no. Dealbreaker. However you want to say it. I can't even count all the men I now see wearing something like an orange shirt, black pants, and orange crocs. There are a handful of fads throughout the years that history looks back and sneers upon. These shoes will be one of them. Call it a prophetic word...
My favorite new addition to crocs are the "jibbitz". A new, fun way to decorate the holes in the shoes that shouldn't be there in the first place. You can add a lady bug. How about a smiley face? Guys, maybe soccer ball to show off your love of sports? A skull and crossbones just to "toughen" them up a bit? Or letters? Now you can spell your favorite words or acrostics. After this rant I discovered one such person that will be running out today to get the jibbitz letters TYOTD...because he already has the shoes to put them in. You look great, Jeff. But I think this is a dealbreaker...
