Clog v Flip Flop

It’s important when winning a war to be confident. It’s also important to have presentations.

Here’s mine:

    That’s… questionable. I’m going to stick with the flip-flops (or “double-F’s”) for the economic value and so my SO can continue to ask me whether I think we’re at the beach.

    i’ve been kinda liking the look of crocs lately… making me start to wonder if my roommate’s right and, based soleley on my footwear, i really am a lesbian… but how are they actually not smelly?

    Careful though. Although I fully support the CLA (Clog Liberation Army) and am wearing clogs *right now*, I did, in fact, witness an instance of recycled flip-flops on HGTV last night. They made them into some sort of mat. Nevertheless, ° VIVIA LA CLOG !

    i think clogs are 110% totally rad and/or awesome. you should rework your numbers and see if you don’t reach the same conclusion.

    solely (hahaha! shoe pun!) based on this slide show, i am going out to purchase my third pair right now. baby blue crocs, mama’s comin’ for ya!

    Man, I was totally in support of your right to wear clogs. I want to continue to support that right, because even if I don’t want to wear them, you should be allowed.
    You have slandered the flip flop, however, and I’m going to have to reconsider where my allegiences lie. I wear flip flops all summer long, happily!
    Why you gotta be hatin’ on them?

  • MontanaJen

    I just found out that they have Croc flip-flops!

    They don’t do away with the stubbing of the toes, but they do please the aesthete in me. I have to think they’re just as comfy.

    I have no idea if that link will work or not, but if I recall, HTML does not work in these comments.

    oh jon.

    flop slander aside, your preez brought a smile to my face — and that’s quite a feat considering that said face is a soggy, tear stained mess today.

    I cannot tell you what joy I felt when I saw the movie. And now? Now I feel exhilaration. That presentation rocks!

    I wore my clogs this weekend in solidarity and am wearing flip-flops (or go-aheads) right now.

    Am awaiting marketing tie-ins.

    Flip flops are also dirt cheap! I have about 30 pair in differnt colors …some plain some with rhinestones, some with flowers.…

    And you cant show off your awesome pedicure in those fugly crocs!

    jon, that made me laugh, made me cry, and touched my very soul.

    ONLY good thing about the presentation: i got to see pac-man!

    clogs are the funk; flip-flops are righteous. that is all.

    “Clogs also rule.”

    That was my fave part. Very nice fact-based presentation.

    These last few days at work whenever a guy comes in wearing Crocs or any other kind of clog, I make sure to compliment him. “Way to rock the clogs!” Their girlfriends roll their eyes.

    Sold.

    And if you ever need another “con” for flip flops, there’s the irritating toe-thong thang. No irritations with the crocs! Except maybe Heather’s.

  • http://www.iprettymuchhateeverything.com Torrie

    That presentation was so great that you almost convinced me.

  • keagansmom

    Dude, you’ve got waaaaay too much time on your hands!
    Heather, next time BURN the clogs.

    Luv reading u guys!

    Another haiku
    to celebrate victory
    Crocs will trump flip-flops

    I am wearing Crocs
    Keep the fun in functional
    Flip-flops make me sad

    Does not contribute to hammer toe.

    Love your methodology.

    Jon! You crack me up!!! I’m not even a fan of clogs, but I’m behind you all the way, both because of the picture of chuck in them, as well as the fact that you make very good points. You have just about convinced me to go buy some, and I think I once swore i would never own any.

  • http://www.stupidspaz.com Dave

    And where’s Heather’s counter presentation?

  • deeryluv

    You forgot to list FREAKING SEXY as a Pro for clogs.

  • Yellowmug

    Very classy presentation!

    As I was standing in line at REI on Sunday buying the 4th pair of Crocs I’ve bought in the last 2 months (I have one pair, the rest were gifts), I saw 2 people in line buying Crocs. I am 100% convinced they are blurb/dooce readers.

    Not that Im trying to lobby or anything, but if you can throw in a built in bottle opener (http://​tinyurl​.com/mwoob) im down with the clogs and will switch parties immediately.

    Not to go off topic, but have you seen the “Republicans for Voldemort” bumper sticker around town? http://​tinyurl​.com/mpfxj

  • wrensuicide

    Well. I’m convinced.

  • Moxie

    Another Pro for Clogs:

    Does not contribute to camel toe.

    Hell, anything that keeps us from spending another minute debating religion in Utah, *has* to be good. I’m going to go buy a pair to burn incense in. Hail mighty god(ess?) of the clogs.

    Speaking of…I’d think after the whole plumbing nightmare you’d have had enough of anything called clogs.
