the fitness claims seem a bit much. Most people seem to only be saying that they have decreased leg or back pain and that seems more resopnable, especially if they were wearing flip flops with no support. I hate things between my toes though.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Where Do Homosexuals Get All Their Energy?
I know what you're saying: Brandon, you're just perpetuating the stereotype that homosexuals are superhuman. That is totally not true. All I'm saying is, with their boundless energy and talents, they make us straight guys look bad.
Just look at the way they dress. They must get up bright and early just to figure out how to match their homosexual outfits. They do this, plus take the time to have a nice, hot morning bath. And they eat, too. Homosexuals know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. By 8 a.m., they are out the door, fully rested and raring to go.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Flip flops with support to make extended wear more comfortable is a great idea! The rest of it is a bunch of bullshit.
Okay, off to get my .. my .. damn, I forget what I'm having for lunch. The internet promotes this, doesn't it?

Those fit-flops pretty much look like Birkenstocks to me. With the little toe ridges. Except uglier.

I actually have the plain-old fit flops -- they're nice and squishy and my plantar fasciitis loves them, as do my flat feet. They have not reduced my butt size, though.

OK, here's irrefutable evidence that the "good old days" really were better:
When the Times of London reported in 1837 on two University of Paris law profs dueling with swords, the dispute wasn't over the fine points of the Napoleonic Code. It was over the point-virgule: the semicolon. "The one who contended that the passage in question ought to be concluded by a semicolon was wounded in the arm," noted the Times. "His adversary maintained that it should be a colon."
Has modern life killed the semicolon?

Happy Birthday Steph!
Am back from the con. It was fun, aside from hotel screw-ups. The hotel booked loud parties (with DJs) in the space next to ours both Friday and Saturday night. The main function room had heavy bass coming through the walls.(Apparently the DJs were right against the wall we shared with them, and there was nothing to dampen the sound) We tried to fight back with a bagpiper on Saturday night, but that didn't work.
