Keep America Beautiful
Wow! I remember this anti-pollution ad in the 1970s. Very powerful. Thanks for the memory.

Tony Corti---the Native American impersonator. Falsely known as Iron Eyes Cody, he was actually Italian. lol lol lol I wonder if he was thinking of burnt meatballs when he was crying. lol lol lol
I almost always chose style over function, nothing would please me more than to be able to put on a wool suit and quality leather shoes every day of the year. Unfortunately I live in a country that has this thing called a rainy season. As much as I hate the look of Crocs, I have to say that in this country there is almost no better shoe to wear in the wet weather.
The rain comes down in sheets for WEEKS on end without stop in November. House walls sweat and turn green, brown and black. Cloth and leather will NOT dry, and a shoe made of these materials can easily become sour, moldy and actually rot to pieces. Most travel is done on two wheels so any time I leave my house I WILL get at least a little damp - despite a full set of rain gear.
In the wet season the locals wear rubber or plastic sandals out on the roads, and any foreigner who wants to scoff at the tackiness of it will soon discover why - after his $200 "waterproof" boots end up ruined by mold and moisture.
So in conclusion I would say that I wear rubber flip flops during the rainy season and I only wish I had a pair of those ugly hideous crocs. If you come live in a tropical country with a wet season you would quickly come to appreciate Crocs too.

Yea or nay?
I'd say:
NO. :nono:

That looks like durable, practical toy furniture for the kids to use out in the dooryard. Just the thing for any nursery school or kindergarten, too.
Oh, wait, you mean that's for adults?

You sat on one?! Willingly?! :eeek:
I'll take the 3 months of rainy weather. I live a mile from a beach, 3 miles from a beautiful mountain rain-forest. There's tropical fruit, good food, lovely lasses, and smoking sections in restaurants. I work 4 hours a day; and all of my clothes, shoes, leather jackets are tailor made - I think this is a good trade for a few months of yuck weather.Well, there is no snow in Hell either but......

Yes. :doh: (shame on me!)
In my defence - those were the only seats offered by the host: I could suck it up and sit on the dreadful thing, or I could be inpolite cow and stand there in revolt. [huh]
