death of a flip flop
a.k.a. rockin' the croc
friday night freshmeat decided to accompany me on an excursion on the other side of the river (a.k.a. virginia). but before we left freshmeat's flip-flop met an untimely death.
her solution was to staple the strap down.
it worked.
until we got to the metro station.
her next attempt was to use a band aid i had in my purse to hold the strap down.
it worked.
until we got to clarendon.
the band aid ripped and we were without any way for us to fix the strap.
she was shoeless on the wrong side of the tracks.
i spent the next 20 minutes running around the area trying to find a shoe store that sold flip flops.
apparently that's harder than it should be (the first shoe store i went to had to be something leftover from the 70s and it closed at 6. who closes at 6 anymore?!?).
i eventually found these.
we spent the rest of the evening trying to put "croc" into ever sentence.
it was croc-tacular.

Yea, but were the flops comfortable?
And you came to the clean side of the river and you did not let us know. I am hurt.

I know, right chanuck? I have tons of flip-flops I could've lent freshy. And on this side of the river, we don't even have to staple or band-aid ours.
