are flip flops gay?

[Jeniffer Mills]

...Since it`s summer flip flop season, i like wearing my buckled flops i bought at the Frankfurt airport last summer...

They`re nice and comfy...What do you think???

[jukka]

they are, just because they are so big in fashion right now !

[tsr_tomas]

i don´t have anything against flipflops... but if they look gay, they probably are. i´ve seen ton´s of none-gay-flipflops.

warren, have you checked under shoe for the NONE-GAY mark?

[Paddy]

im gonna get me some etnies flip flops. they're defo no gay.

[scott confusion]

Did jesus not wear flip flps? im sure hes not gay.

[aleks]

he was a hippie and that makes flipflops a bad thing...

[V Knid esq]

Jesus was an anarchist. But he wore sandals, not flip-flops. I say if you're comfortable with your comfortable shoes, then they'll express your sexuality whatever way you want them to. I bet Jack Nicholson isn't afraid of flip-flops. But then I wear Birkenstocks so what would I know?

[V Knid esq]

What do you call a Frenchman on the beach?

Phillipe Flop!

[KaOz]

...Tomas, you`re actually a typical flipflop type....I bet you have at least one pair of them..

They`re also good for slamming roaches dead on the floor.

My dad even used to slap my arse with them when i was a rude kid!

[Sheridan]

I don't like flip flops too much. the ones where the top part goes in between your big toe and second toe. I think those look kinda gay. I wear these cool nautica deck sandals. they are kinda like soccer sandals. real comfy. although I don't wear them out of the house. I much prefer to wear shoes outside. even if it is hot. and today is going to be a scorcher.
but I say if you like them then wear them with confidence and you'll be straight! :!

[oolong]

flip-flops have sex with other open toed sandals no matter what their gender, obviously

Oh yes! They`re also cool! I see you guys got good taste!

But i would never wear those in an indoor club...

[oolong]

you would wear flip flops in an indoor club?


i would be afraid of cutting my feet on broken liquor bottles...

[eclairfi]

i heard theyre called jandals on the other side of the world

word. i spotted them for nine quid today.:)

[Mui]

we call em thongs.
they are ghey if you wear em with socks.
I'm more a surf-sandals man, I just don't like the rubber bit rubbin between my big and other toe.

[invisibleplanet]

hehe
as a child i lived in singapura and wore flip-flops almost all the time. As a consequence, the gap between my big toe is especially round and wide, as if shaped by the toe post.
I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced a similar flip-flop toe-post-gap-mutation?
i wear a soft leather pair of flip-flops round the house and in the garden, but i don't often wear them out of the house because the streets are dirty, and then so are my feet. Flip-flops are cool, and I'd never say they were 'gay'.

[Paddy]

as achild, i lived in cape town, and never wore any shoes, like a little street urchin. as a result, i used to be able to walk over rocks covered in barnacles and shit, and feel absolutely no pain.

[blunt]

had some too, but when i went to a party in the woods and did a step into a mud puddle one was torn. so i decided to leave em there and go on barefoot. i´m sure they are still there in the dirt! one day they will be petrified and next generetions will find them and think what gay shoes we hadlol

[V Knid esq]

No kind of sandals can be gay when you have toenails as manky as mine. One look at them and people unanimously go "EEEEEEW! Hetero!"

[grobelaar]

It seems that the fashion is for flip-flops would a slightly thicker sole than usual, with a clear plastic straps, this seems to highlight what is really bad abou flip-flops - its not the flip-flops themselves per se - its the feet!

Most blokes have really fat, ugly feet and walking around wearing footwear that frames and accentuates this fact is the real problem.

Or maybe I've been thinking about this too much, or maybe its our office Shoreditch fop who has been wearing his flip-flops all summer, come rain or shine and whose feet look like Frodo Baggins that has me enraged or perhaps I'm still in denial about my minor shoe and foot fetish - who could tell...

Thats a definate no no for me!!!!!

There is nothing more terrible than old guys wearing flops or sandals with white tennis socks!:illin:

hhmmm..them above are nice innit?

[oolong]

heheh. what's wrong with showing your hairy feet off?

[V Knid esq]

Socks and sandals isn't gay - I can't think of a gay person of my acquaintance who would be seen dead in such an evil combo. I always think of it as either a "clueless dad thing" or... sorry fellows... a "german tourist thing".

[Jeniffer Mills]

....The only disadvantage...hehe

[Daddys Girl]

Ohh, those feet look disturbing in that picture!!! Never really understood why you'd wear socks with sandals... doesn't that kinda defeat the point? I've seen people wear trainer-socks with flip-flops, which is pretty confusing...

Flip-flops/Birkenstocks/sandals pretty much suit everybody... like Grob said, it's about the feet... have a nice rock-salt footspa, use some Scholl products and look after your toe(nails), and "ta-da" - good feet ;)

[Loz]

depends, 'gay' as in the opposite of 'straight' or 'gay' as in the childhood schoolyard insult?

the former, probably not, the latter, maybe, but as has been stated before, it depends on your foot. Some people suit them, others do not.

Funny how most people who don't suit them seem to wear them.

Now leather sandles.. that brings back horrid memories of village fetes and morris dancers...

[May Kasahara]

Flip-flops can't be gay unless they come in same-side pairs, surely?

[grobelaar]

3. A boy must always wear socks, except while swimming. So-called, "flip-flops" and "sandals," where the toes and ankles are exposed are products that were created during the (homo)sexual revolution. Creation research indicates that these types of provocative "shoes," were invented by homosexuals in San Fransissyco during the late 1960's with fetishes for little boy ankles. Thwart the perverted delight of these pedo-pedophiles with a thick pair of tube socks!

this I thought was rather fucked:

2. A boy must eat everything on his plate. But if your son pesters you to serve corn on the cob, hot dogs or sausages, that is your signal to change his diet. Try serving meals that more effectively evoke a hankering for the fragrant delights of the female genitalia. An artichoke stuffed with tuna fish will usually do the trick.

Not quite, but a friend of mine who just turned 30 has slept all her life with two fingers in her mouth. I think we spend about 1/3 of our lives asleep or something...so as you can imagine with her fingers in her mouth for 10 years her teeth have kinda grown around them. Now she can clamp her jaw shut but still get two fingers between her top and lower teeth.

But then it has advertising for George W Bush re-election

I'm perturbed - is this a joke, or has the world really gone utterly insane...

[Paddy]

that is fuckin creepy.

'By being both proactive and willing to inflict welts for Jesus, you can beat Satan at his own sick game and prevent him from turning your impressionable child into an ugly, rotting twig in the family tree crying out for brutal pruning'

WTF!!!!

[scott confusion]

Must be a piss take.

[Loz]

10. A boy must not skip or prance. You must not allow your boy to attend any school where they teach the children to "skip," or play "hopscotch" in Physical Education class. Creation Scientists have proved that such activities are the precursor to cross-dressing, appreciation for poetry, a sardonic display of irony and the rampant shoplifting of skin care products.

Damn.. I skip from time to time.

Guess that makes me a gay, now.

Somehow amusing and frightning at the same time....

[stinkfinger]

of course its a piss take, i don't see many church websites selling "i love satan" badges. mind you, i've not been to church for a while, maybe they are trying to get with times...

and anyway, i thought the word "gay" was a bad word round these parts...

i've got a nice pair of birkenstocks adorning my pretty little tootsies just now, and they look so ungay!

[oolong]

yes, landover baptist is a parody site. right funny one too.

[nickywalsh]

I think flip flops are not very good. I think sandals are much better.. as flipflops cant be awkward when running etc, and they can be dangerous too. making you trip over. just my opnion.

[goinz]

flopsis are ok to go to swim

[nickywalsh]

best bet is trainers, I find trainers comfy and acceptable.

[Paddy]

i was wearing some flips last night, so they're definately not gay. i'm very manly, you see.

[nickywalsh]

flip flops are for gays that is fact.

[Paddy]

so i was being gay last night, but now that i've taken them off, i'm no longer gay?

[nickywalsh]

Act your age not your flipflop size.

[invisibleplanet]

so what about 'slip-slops', (flip flops with no toe-post)

like? no-like?
.

yeah - andover baptist has gotta be one of the most spooky spoof-sites i've seen on the web. it shoud win awards!
One of my fave pages is the 'join the church - win a playstation' .
the thing about baptists is there's 16 million of them in the USA - that's roughly the entire population of Iraq.
I often think of this war as '16 million southern baptists vs. the iraqi people.

um, what is the reasoning behind that??

i've often think of the war as 1% of rich americans (who own oil companies) vs the iraqi people. or bush's personal war to make up for his dad not killing sadam hussein the first time around. but i would hardly pin this whole war on southern baptists.

[oolong]

rich assholes and christianity stick together like peanut butter and bananas, sadly

[wheezer]

I rather believe you'll find rich assholes of any faith...

[mandal]

german tourists....yes!!!!!

but i think shoes are a mirror of the economy...this year and the last year flat sneakers are pretty hip...some years ago...when the economic situation was much better, people were running around with platform soles....in some years we will all go barefooted...

[oolong]

mandal: like skirt length :P


in response to the topic of this thread: i was at vancouver pride yesterday and i saw almost no one wearing flip-flops... probably because you have to do a lot of walking, but i concur

[jip strak]

gay, no

very uncomfortable, yes

[drop]

1. i wear flip-flops when i'm not doing something that requires shoes. i'm not gay, so i don't feel flip-flops are gay.

2. the landover baptist site rocks
funny thing i've seen in a while.
