Sheep give us mutton & lamb. Now we're after their skin for our shoes.

So there I was, I don't even remember which site I was on, and this one of those annoying pop up ads did just that - popped right up onto my screen. And there, in front of my eyes, I saw what must rate as the ugliest flip flops/sandals/whatever you want to call them.

I mean seriously, if your feet are cold, DON'T WEAR SANDALS!

Sewing or gluing a strip of sheep back to your sandals is NOT going to keep your feet warm. Instead, it will make your feet look very ugly, and will make YOU look very silly for buying them.

Says the creator of these monstrosities, "It was a chilly Northern California morning two years ago, and as usual, I was running late for class. I kicked off my comfy sheepskin house slippers, but there would be no time for socks today. I eyed my well-worn pair of sandals by the door, and with my eyes on my watch, my hand on the doorknob, and my bare, rapidly-cooling feet slipping into my flip flops, a light bulb went off:

"Sheepskin...sandals...sheepskin...sandals...sheepskin...sheepskin SANDALS!"

Well a few months and a patent application later, I created the world's first sheepskin sandal and solved my cold-feet problem. And as it turns out, I wasn't the only person out there who wanted to wear their flip flops all year round."

Well thank you dudley do-right! Without you, my frozen feet would definitely have fallen off. Thawed out or snapped off. Either way, because of you, I shall remain the world's laziest sloth.

Shocking. If I ever see anyone out there wearing this sheep throw-up on their feet, be warned that I will set them ablaze. As in douse them in gasoline and set them on fire.
