Shaving cream croc



Rubber shoes. That's funny right there.

Because they're made for the summer. The heat, the material, the particular part of the body are all wrong for each other. Whoever invented these is out of their g.d. mind. But there you have it. The bad reviews on Amazon indicate that people are Croc connoisseurs stating their disappoint in being sent substitute Crocs -- the ones they got are not the real things. 

That kills me. An ersatz shoe is pirated. It's the wrong wrong shoe. The real wrong shoe is more comfortable, the rubber in the real wrong shoe is softer, more pliable, more comfortable insole. They know what they're talking about specifically, the Croc, and know how to talk about it, shoes, while still choosing a rubber shoe in summer.  

President Bush Jr. did this and that is the point where the man lost me.

I have a pair of Crocs. They aren't bad. A little tingly on the soles of your feet from the ridges. Mario Batali of Eataly fame wore red Crocs as a kind of fashion statement/trademark. He was riding high for a while but was brought down by a sex scandal. Apparently he participated in a gang rape. Is that so bad?

He is a great teacher.

I loved his show.

He had guests sit around a counter with him behind it explaining things. He wanted viewers to know where in Italy his recipe originates and why such a thing comes from such a place.

He'd reach up and pull down a window shade, the kind that rolls up to disappear, then is pulled down and locks into place with at tug, the releases with another tug. His shade has a map of Italy drawn on it, and it's hilarious when suddenly a map appears out of thin air.

Who would even think of that?

It's so anachronistic, so weird to have a map on it, and so perfect for the situation.

And now the place is not just a word without meaning, It's an actual spot on a map. You can see how the north will have more grain and butter recipes, while other coastal regions will be seafood-related and where olive oil predominates.

All of our maps were like that when I was in school. And there were only 48 states then, too. And I liked it!

Need I add that our flag had only 48 stars on it, too? It looked a whole lot better than that jazzed up 50 star number.

I wear crocs all the time. Very comfortable, but completely unsuitable for uneven terrain (the soles are too soft so you feel every pebble).
