"Please don’t take my Crocs away"

Posted on November 9, 2010 by Sandy Collier Posted in Uncategorized .

Am I the only one who finds Jarod from the Subway commercials so annoying. Man, how long can this guy milk it, I mean really. Talk about finding a niche and “working it.”


When I find a product that I endorse I will shout about its greatness from the rooftops. I pity the fool who says anything disparaging about “my love.”


We have a new boss taking over the Poker Room this week. I hear she is a real stickler for professionalism (I hate her already). We’ve all become a little lazy in our appearance at work over the years. Our uniforms aren’t looking quite as crisp and clean.


I know that my shoes, my love, my Crocs are looking a little disheveled and not very professional. I’ve been out all week trying to find new, comfortable, dressier shoes with no luck. Nothing is as comfortable as my Crocs, I’m just not ready to end our love affair.


So imagine my excitement when I burst out of bed this morning with one of my “great ideas,” at least I thought so. All-right go with me on this one. Crocs are made out of rubber, tires are made out of rubber why can’t I just use Amoral on them, give them that spit shine look. And it actually worked, they look like patent leather shoes like I had when I was a kid.


So, tomorrow when all my peeps say they are happy I got rid of my Crocs and got new shoes, I will just smile to myself, it’s our little secret, right?

    I promise not to tell a soul (or maybe given the subject I should say sole?)

    I love my Crocs. When we had our dress code changed and were told we couldn’t wear anything without an enclosed heel, it was interesting to see how many people’s pant legs got a little bit longer to hide their Croc straps….they finally changed it back. Now they just have to be navy or white to match the scrubs.

    I can’t remember ever looking down at anybodys shoes in the Casino’s.
    Don’t people just go to try to win money? Your treatment for rubber was quite amusing.
    Love Mom

    So what happen, do you still get to wear them at work. My kids lived in crocs for years. I felt kid of guilty but it was all they would wear.

    I love crocs, they are coming out with so many new styles you can wear them with anything. Why did Trisha feel guilty?
