- Don't let the Rose Garden french doors hit you in the ass on the way out.
There. That should be it, but you always need at least three bullets: it's the law. So:
"...you can drop off your old pair of Crocs, which will be recycled into new ones and sent to people in need as part of the Soles United program. For your good deed you will be entered to win an autographed pair of Crocs from your favorite artists. Check out www.solesunited.com to learn more about them."
Initially, I thought, "That makes no sense. Why are we recycling the crocs? Why not give them the crocs, why waste the energy to recycle them?" But it seems we give worn-out crocs, which are ground up and recycled into 20% of the new donated crocs. But then, why aren't our American crocs made of 20% recycled croc? All this confuses me.

My Menopajamas have arrived. I have great hope for them. Their wicking properties will no doubt contribute to my second favorite smell: aged skanky pajamas. (First favorite? New-mown grass.)
But then, why aren't our American crocs made of 20% recycled croc? All this confuses me.
Because there must be New Crocs at some point to make Old Crocs that can be recycled. One cannot recycle what doesn't exist yet. It's very metaphysical.
Crocs were declared "out" this year. I don't own any, myself. My feet sweat bad enough in regular shoes. Sweaty feet in plastic shoes would result in my sliding out of my Crocs and killing myself.

Plastic? It's a closed-cell resin! And I read somewhere the "croslite" resin was developed for atheletes so their feet wouldn't sweat.
So I have first edition pure crocs? Cool.

That you are proud of your crocs, first edition pure or not, troubles me.

So stylish! Especially the ones in light pink.

Candy - Here's the thing. My toes are so hot (#2 when you search "bare toes" on search.msn.com/images) that I have to encase them in the unsexy footwear, otherwise I attract too much sexual attention.
Judibleu - I just have the classic dark blue. Are yours pink?
