On the occassion of National Flip-Flop Day

A friend of mine summed it all up quite nicely. A cup of yoghurt has more culture than this country. And right he is. National Flip-Flop Day indeed!

People are dying of starvation in Asia, of AIDS in Africa, of boredom in Switzerland, and America decides to declare Thursday, June 21st, National Flip-Flop Day. Good going guys & gals. Way to go.

And while people are starving and dying of AIDS and boredom, I buckled under the immense pressure and donned a new pair of $1.98 Wal-Mart flip-flops. Funky brown and blue, and why not?! I have nice feet!

I felt like a genuine rockstar, for all of an hour until these plastic portable satans created a blister the size of Utah inbetween my big toe and the one next to it. So I ended up limping for the rest of National Flip-Flop Day. Way to go guys. What's next year? National Nails-through-your-Hands Day?
