Just so you know my wife isn’t exaggerating, [behold the fifty-dollar flip-flops](http://store.nordstrom.com/product/product_brandboutique.asp?styleid=2809870&boutique=sandal_shop_women&category=2376778~2372808~2372949~2377693&NextStyleID=2810691&PrevStyleID=2821782) (currently on sale for thirty-five).

More proof (as if we needed it) that there are people with more money than sense.

Actually, they were more like a combination of [this](http://store.nordstrom.com/product/product_brandboutique.asp?styleid=2816511&boutique=sandal_shop_women&category=2376778~2372808~2372949~2377698&NextStyleID=2816501&PrevStyleID=2812913) and [this](http://store.nordstrom.com/product/product_brandboutique.asp?styleid=2817161&boutique=sandal_shop_women&category=2376778~2372808~2372949~2377698&NextStyleID=2808577&PrevStyleID=2816109), although the exact sandals are not on the web site. Perhaps they do have some shame … no, no they don’t.

Toes are disgusting. They should definately be covered up when not in the privacy of one’s own home. Okay, well maybe at public beaches and pools, but I wouldn’t mind an ordinance making those aquashoe thingies mandatory.  
I went to a restaurant tonight where the hostess seating us was wearing a pair of the giant heeled pflappers, it was just so very very wrong. I spent half the meal thinking evil “trip now!” thoughts at her.

The president of my company is wearing a pair right now. I think they cost about $2.

He’s also fiddling with a wa-wa pedal and getting ready to leave early to practice with his rock band.

I love this place.
