| Post subject: | Moral Dilemma |
I hate crocs. The thought of them. The way they look. The perception you give off when you wear them. Everything. Just awful. But when I really think about it, they would be perfect to wear while mowing the lawn. Easy to clean. Don't have to worry about dirtying up any of the shoes I like. I'm sure I could find "cool" ones, like Bears, Badgers or something... but I can't help but predict I would feel like a piece of shit douchebag for wearing them. Thoughts? |

Why the fuck would you care what you wear when mowing the lawn? You entering a fashion show? Who cares? Wear em. |

My neighbors are lucky if I'm wearing underwear while mowing the lawn. |

There's a guy I work with who can provide some interesting insight on mowing the lawn while wearing beach-type footwear- we call him "ole nine toes". You can wear Crocs at other times, if you want. Not that there is anything wrong with that. The CSFMB opinion of one Bucky Chris probably wouldn't change much. Hell, it might improve.

Crocs are the least of your problems. |

Is this what passes as a moral dilemma nowadays? What has this world come to? |

I'm usually up, but I bet that pisses a lot of people off. |

I keep a pair of crocs by the back door, very fast and easy to slip on to take out the garbage, water the plants etc. I cut grass with them on, the only problem is when you start using the weed whacker and all the debris goes right in your shoe and all over your sweaty feet. |

Interesting, hadn't considered that. My socks usually get that debris which is annoying. I'm guessing I'd prefer to just rinse my feet, rather than dealing with the socks. |

My wife mows the lawn, so I don't have to worry about that sort of thing. |

Why don't you just get a pair of work boots? Don't need to be too flashy. But at least you will look like a man and feel like man. |

One time I was mowing downhill with a push power mower. My foot slipped under me, went under the mower deck and tore the front of my shoe off. Ever since then, I told the wife to mow the lawn. |

I've never worn Crocs. Don't plan on changing that anytime soon. |
