I am vehemently against the Croc. Living in DC makes this especially hard because tourists from bumblefuck (insert state in the South here) find Crocs to be (surprise!) quite comfortable and in some sick way, fashionable. My mind doesn't do well comprehending this so during summer months I can be seen cringing rather often at the sight of these monstrosities. Look, I get it if you want to wear these shoes around the house or gardening or for whatever purpose they were initially intended to serve - I, for one, am all about comfort when I sit down to watch Season 1 of 90210 on dvd for the fiftieth time and can be seen wearing pants with holes or my Nike t-shirt I've owned since Eighth grade. But...about the town?? Ugh, they are ugly as sin and you cannot convince me that a pair of running shoes or even flip-flops wouldn't be better than GD Crocs.
But, as I just discovered, they have now customized these specifically for my alma mater? Why??? And I'm sorry but I have to share them with you.
And don't think us Huskies are a privileged few. They've customized them for a whole host of our nation's fine universities. You can find them here (not to buy; to gasp and share in my pain, obvi.) -

Much like John Mayer rapes my ears, Crocs rape my eyes.

Do NOT even imply that flip-flops are in the same boat as Crocs, friend. I will cut you.
