Dru Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Isn't it the case that all the PMs are from moderators explaining why they deleted his drunken thread last night? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billcoe Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Isn't it the case that all the PMs are from moderators explaining why they deleted his drunken thread last night? Hard to say, but I don't think you can count yourself popular until you have your own brand of condoms. BTW if any beer mfgs. need someone to sponsor, I want it known that I'm available.

Dru Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 HEY MIKE! Can you get me a pro-deal on THESE bad boys!?!?! Man those things look SICK! Cmon dude you can get the TNF "A5 Men's Thong" flipflop at Shopping.com for $5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foraker Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Cmon dude you can get the TNF "A5 Men's Thong" flipflop at Shopping.com for $5 Now, I'm sure many are wondering, why would you know that? I'm sure there are a few who are even wondering will it really help them climb A5? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 I am the proud owner of a pair of A5 flipflops which I picked up at Valhalla Pure for $5 CDN on closeout. They have lasted 2 years with minimal wear so far. Although I am NOT a fan of the way TNF bought A5 and then turned a respected aid climbing trademark into a vapid line of "bouldering influenced" urban clothing these are pretty good flipflops for $5.

selkirk Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Too bad he's not sponsored by Prada just what every new, hip, bouldering chick needs. Seriously sytlin handbags and accessories! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olyclimber Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Perhaps you could do a gear review Dru. What sort of things make them good flipflops? If you could do it all over again, what would you change? Do you think Tommy Caldwell would belay on El Cap with these flip flops, or are more technical flipflops needed?

catbirdseat Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 For one thing, a good flip flop has to have rhythm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 What makes good flipflops? I'm glad you asked, olysprayer. 1) Made of materials that do not absorb foot odour (unlike Tevas) 2) Durable. Must not fall apart in a few months (unlike 5.10 Mountain Masters) 3) These are flipflops. You will never climb in them. But you should be able to walk around at the base of the crag, or spot, with them on without falling on your ass. 4) Must work for non-climbing applications too such as strolling down Broadway to MEC 5) Must be comfortable. Having weird stitching that gives a blister is a no no 6) Must not be seriously gay looking cause I wear them in logging camps and dont want to get beat up. No hot pink. I am happy to say these achieve all 6 points. The only possible let-down is that they aren't good shower sandals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think Tommy Caldwell would belay on El Cap with these flip flops, or are more technical flipflops needed? i'm sure that Dru could belay 5.14b A4+ in his bare feet so i think the real question is would a more technical flip flop be needed for spraying 25,000+ times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olyclimber Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Nice start Dru. Now, go back and rewrite your essay, but try to be more descriptive. Try to bring the reader in with information that they might actually care about. And please.... technical, lets get technical. Lets get into technical. I want to know what sets these flipflops apart from say....surfing flipflops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Maybe they can rename them the "Teraflop" for the geek market HAHAHAHAH wait, why is no one laughing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

layton Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 No sorry, although LOngpause thought it was pretty funny (AND the seed of which was actually her idea), her friends certainly did not. but that's ok cuz they didn't like me to begin with so no change there. I basically flammed the crap out of her in a way that looked a bit too real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
