Top-flippin flip-flops, a W.W.
You’re probably going to see a lot of cute headlines like the above, as West Marine had the wisdom to supply many a marine writer with a pair of Fanning Thongs, which are not only comfy and seriously technical but have a “church key” built into their soles. The literature says that this is for opening a “soda” bottle, but a Corona seemed the better test. Worked fine too, which is probably why thong reviewer “Jim E Jams” writes that “The ladies always go ooooh and aaaah when I pop a top with my reef fannings.”
It’s an absolutely horrible weather day here in Maine, my excuse for another in the Weekend Weirdness series. I also updated the GrandCentral entry; thanks all!
This from DG in CT:
“While I enjoy your website, this has to be the most ridiculous inventions of all time. At first, it seemed ingenious. A few minutes of deep thought made me think otherwise… Why would you want to open a beer with something that lives millimeters off of the floor of a dirty crapper? Absolutely foul..”
Point well taken, but, damn, I’ll never be able to think of these flip-flops in the same way again.
What happens when you step in a pile of dog doo?? I wouldnt be opening my beer bottle with that!!
