Yes, three or four in that other thread, I think.

Must've blocked that from my memory. ;)
Out of the people that ever were, almost all of them are dead.
There are way more dead people, and you're all gonna die
and then you're gonna be dead for way longer than you're alive.
Like that's mostly what you're ever gonna be.

I've never worn flip-flops in my life to my knowledge and I never intend to.

I've worn steel-toed black leather boots from Doc Martins to Combat boots for most of my adult life and I don't intend to change.

And yes, I also wore them to the Kingdom Hall (Church). :P

Damn Straight that doctor can get bent i've got a $10 pair of thongs comfy as hell and you'll never see me in anything else during summer pubs that require you to wear shoes during summer are wankers. :prof:

What you want to get is a nice pair of Teva sandals. They are soooo comfortable, and the thick rubber sole is great for walking on anything. If it weren't for snow, I'd wear nothing else (on my feet that is).

After walking around in them all day don't they make your feel smell like arse. :ani:

The Pope was today knocked down at the start of Christmas mass by a woman who hopped over the barriers. The woman was said to be, "Mentally unstable."

Which is probably why she went unnoticed among a crowd of Christians.

People should be forced to wear socks with them, or with flip flops.
It should be illegal to wear them indoors without socks.
I've got a pair of sandals like those, and my feet never smell. But if you wear thin socks, or no socks, they will stink.

It's hard to come by tabi socks for flip flops.

Abso-fucking-lutely! We can establish a Ministry of FlipFlops, Sandals and Other Non-Closed Footwear! Get special uniforms, and plenipotentiary rights to search and seizure.

Besides, who could argue with this? Sexy much?

If you wear socks and sandals, you're the victim. Just put on some real shoes, fer chrissakes. :roll:

Ok sweetie, darling. I've found something amazing by Armani, just to please you.

Just wait till New York sees my footwear. The magazines will go wild.

They don't even smell, I think they have some antimicrobial agents built into the rubber. You can always wash them with soap and water, or just leave them outside in the rain. I leave my old pair outside 24x7x365 and use them for out door work when there may be dog poop about.
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.
