Vicodin Please

UPDATE: Oh God - thank you the marvellous Great She for alerting me - I must have spoken too soon!


Oh
Good

God
No!

The Croc Wellie. Where will it ever end? In millions of years time there will be people living off croc landfill sites. Deranged teenagers will be smoking them in the streets. Sarah Beeny will be the patron of the National Croc Helpline. We will even be wearing crocwear - garments made out of croc. You will no longer be able to buy a simple crocque monsieur in a cafe without getting a funny look - or a piece of rubbery pink toast. Stop the crocmadness now - they are the orthopaedic shellsuit of the new millenium. Crocs - you have your marching orders!

I thought Crocs were supposed to be a cross between wellies and sandals, so turning them back into wellies is somewhat pointless, to say the least.

Billster - I think it's called marketing and making lots of money Billster. Did you know they have banned them in hospitals because they cause too much friction and are giving people electric shocks?

I reckon it's some sort of conspiracy, and that the plastic is ingrained with some mind control drug which makes the wearer vote at the end of "Dancing with Stars" or "X Factor" or something. There can be no other explanation for the people that do this. They should be in a home.

Crocs are all over Norfolk. Even grown men wear them.

There is a Canadian version called Holeys or something in Clarks.

I also heard they get stuck in escalators. Whole children are getting dragged through and minced. Should be banned.

Howeser - do you think Simon Cowell has something to do with it?

Geoff - Crocs are EVERYWHERE. It's like something out of Dr Who

Dickley - a terrible state of affairs

I'm certain Crocs are recycled tractor tyres painted in lurid colours. People who wear them on escalators end up becoming crocks.

They're so ugly. And I imagine they must be horrid to wear on a hot day, they'd get all sweaty and gross.

"It's like something out of Dr Who." Snort!
How anyone would want to wear them when there are dozens of perfectly lovely high-heels in the shops, is beyond me.
Have you any idea how these croc things actually stay on the foot, btw?

Llewtrah - they are made out of a special material which apparently is good for you - but not surely if you gt jammed in things and keep getting friction shocks

Violet - bleaurrgh - although believe it or not I have seen them on one friend who is a bit kooky and they somehow suited her. She was wearing big clodhoppery red ones with woolly stripey tights.

Arabella -
Open on a deserted military camp in Dorset c. 1972
Assistant: "Dr..they are are everywhere look!
Dr Who: "Commander Trubshawe - position your men. Get down everyone. Goggles at the ready - you'll be needing them"
Cut to hoards of croc-wearing zombies stumbling over a military exercise camp in Dorset. Suddenly there is a strange electronic noise. The Dr is aiming a powerful magnet at the zombies. They start to fall down clutching their calves and writhing in pain. More strange electronic noise as the Dr increases the power of the friction magnet. The croc-wearing zombies start to dissolve into little pink and purple puddles.

Commander Trubshawe: "Well done Dr. Lummy, that was a close shave.

The Dr: Cyclo-polyplasticine residue. Harmless as a liquid but in shoe form is the most offensive toxin known to man. Such a simple thing a magnet.

Assistant: "Ooh Dr! You've saved us from croc-zombie madness with my little niece's magnet set"

They all walk off wearing stiletto's - even Commander Trubshawe

The End

If they give you electric shocks maybe they should be renamed CROC SHOCKS.

The pictures you have here represent the "high-top" versions which seem to be less popular. They should rename them "Croc-o-Shite".

Savannah - you are right to shudder my dear

Ister - exactly - Croc Wellies - Nooooo!
