If You See Something, Say Something

May 11, 2010

Walking home last night, I spotted these in the window of a souvenir shop near my apartment.  Two things:

1) Only tourists should ever be seen wearing Crocs.  Not that it’s okay for anyone to wear Crocs, but the bar is already set so low for the turistas that I can’t even be bothered to judge them anymore. 

2)They’re on to me.

Well played, Crocs, well played.  But I remain undaunted in my quest.  Your Croslite footwear will never get me or my fellow PQ residents. So you can send your goons to stand on my corner and intimidate me, but I will defend this house.

    I have to confess that I wear crocs. And they are pink. Hot pink. And I am not a tourist. I bought them after stepping in dog shit one too many times while walking my dogs. I also wear them while painting. Do you have a suggestion for something else I should wear whilst stepping in shit or painting my house?

  5. Belle says:

    I’m cool with them for painting, or gardening, or cleaning up dog poo. I will not judge you for that. I am over, however, seeing them in church, at work, in restaurants and in every mall in America.
