    yeah, it just doesn't seem pleasurable. i've even seen people walkin around barefoot. it's like, hey, tarzan, wrap some newspaper or some shit around your feet!

    I'm peeved that we can't call them thongs anymore. Way too much room for miscommunication... I used to be able to say "wet thongs suck" but now my guy friends would just think I'm crazy. Wet thongs rule!

    id much rather have those on than shoes. nothing is worse than walking around in wet socks and squishy shoes.

    i love flip flops too (thong style) and wear 'em all the time when the weather is nice, but getting them all cold and smooshy, eeeew!

    conor true wet socks are bad, but i don't really want to have to choose between wet feet or wet socks. i jsut wanted to stay home from work really to avoid the rain altogether lol

    i'd gladly trade wet feet in flip flops for snow boots anyday.

    it's not bad.

    only gets gross when i am walking through the city, and step in a mysterious dark puddle next to a shady sewer grate.

    I haven't done a scientific test or anything, but....

    There is absolutely no ventilation

    that's the first thing you think of?

    my first thought is "WHY IN THE HELL ARE YOU WEARING THOSE THINGS IN 90 DEGREE WEATHER???"

    Wearing flip-flops in the rain is DANGEROUS.

    In college (in Seattle) you'd see people falling flat on their ass as soon as that soggy flip-flop hit marble or any smooth surface.

    I laughed. A lot.

    p.s. I call shoes that give you a toe wedgie "thongs". Thongs/Flip-flops interchangeable but for the most part I call the cheap foamy/rubbery ones "flip-flops".

    The only thing I wear in the summer is a smile

    I hate dudes in flip flops in general, raining or not. Some guys have the most disgusting looking feet. Makes me gag. Thank God for winter right now.
