    Default Almost got killed by a croc today

    No, not a Crocodile, Them damn shoes that are called Crocs, if you wear them and step into anything wet ............... you lose your balance because you slide. I went out to the mailbox and slipped on some wet pavement and slid head first into the street, luckily no cars were coming and the only thing hurt was my ego as i laid there in the street looking like a dummy.

    I hate these crocs and they are going in the trash.

    The soles wear away in no time, then I use a table saw to cross hatch some new cuts in the bottom and when their gone it's time for the trash. Comfortable but dangerous!

    I guess that if you're going to wear Crocs; you had best have a set of "Doc Martens" ready in the closet...

    I believe they are illegal in Yankee Country, I would not want the law chasing you down to confiscate them.
