Shares in Crocs are plummeting. Weekly financial paper Barron’s predicted this downfall last June but stocks still continued to climb in the fourth quarter. The last two quarters however, have been a total flop. As they said in a recent article entitled, Tripping Over Expectations, “The stock (ticker:CROX) fell 14% the following day, and, at around 25, is selling well below the 75 it hit in late October.” Do you know what this means? The ubiquitous rubber clog that was born from the fat foot of an orange chef and became a staple kids needed more than being annoying, has finally passed its peak and is headed for the trough. Thank Jesus Fucking Christ.

trust me, it won’t be ironic, it will be annoying

Wait, doesn’t ironic = annoying? Isn’t that the whole point of wearing a Member’s Only jacket, to piss off your uncle who wore one once with all sincerity and now views the whole episode as being akin to being caught beating off to the Cheryl Tiegs swimsuit collection as portrayed in living color inside his mother’s Sears Catalog?
Educate me, please, muthafutha.

Here’s the thing. Everyone is bitching about global warming melting the polar icecaps. But the real threat of the next 100 years is going to be water shortage. So why don’t we send a collection of renegade but good looking scruffy scientists to the north pole to bottle all that melting glacier water before it becomes all salty and shit, and we’ll kill two birds with one stone. More drinking water, less submergence of coastal cities. I’m so genius it hurts.

I dunno; I think this is a little bit sad. I always imagined the inventor of Crocs as some hilarious prankster that created the ugliest shoe possible to sell to people with too much money and too little design sense. When it worked, he just lolled around in his money pool (like a certain Mr. McDuck) and laughed at all the idiots wearing the shoes.

Slothman Prohpecies. wear crocs all ya want, see what that does to your uncle. who knows, maybe you and your uncle will start a “new trend”? That would be irony.

No trend ever dies anymore. There’s no need to wait for the irony to kick in, there’s already somebody out there wearing them in the hopes of getting a “dig me digging how lame this is” giggle out of it.

there’s nothing ironic about wearing rubber clogs.

Those fuckers won’t go down without a fight. They will keep dropping in price till they become dollar store standards. Those “Jelly shoes” from the 80’s never went away, why would we expect Crocs to have any more mercy. The question is, what’s the next rubber footwear to lower the bar. I predict those Vietnamese flip-flops made of old tires.

Mr. Wilson: Jelly shoes are from the ’80s? How old are you? Them shits been around longer than the Golden Tablets.
