Okay, first, this is ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING, and probably not true:
This story—and we do hope it's a story—makes the guy who complained about a snake head on his plate at TGI Friday's seem like a big fat baby: A German tourist claims that while eating steak and spinach at the Waldorf Astoria on Friday night, he bit into something you'd only expect to find on the menu at a Red Roof Inn. There's really no delicate way to put this: Axel Sanz-Claus tells ABC News that during his meal at the legendary hotel's Bull and Bear Steak House, he bit into a blood-soaked tampon. UGH: "I had it in my mouth, chewed it and nearly swallowed it," Sanz-Claus says, adding, "This is so disgusting, I've felt sick ever since."
ARE YOU SERIOUS? You can read the rest of the story here. As the commenters point out, how the HELL would you not notice a tampon on a plate of steak and spinach? How would it make it to your mouth??
Guh, the thought of it makes me gag.
To make up for that awful story, Gem has shared an amazing article with me on the demise of Crocs!
The colorful foam clogs appeared in 2002, just as the country was recovering from a recession. Brash and bright, they were a cheap investment (about $30) that felt good and promised to last forever. Former president George W. Bush wore them. Aerosmith lead singer Steven Tyler wore them. Your grandma wore them. They roared along with the economy, mocked by the fashion world but selling 100 million pairs in seven years.
...
The company had expanded to meet demand, but financially pressed customers cut back. Last year the company lost $185.1 million, slashed roughly 2,000 jobs and scrambled to find money to pay down millions in debt. Now it's stuck with a surplus of shoes, and its auditors have wondered if it can stay afloat. It has until the end of September to pay off its debt.
"The company's toast," said Damon Vickers, who manages an investment fund at Nine Points Capital Partners in Seattle. "They're zombie-ish. They're dead and they don't know it."
YOU GUYS, MY CAMPAIGN IS TOTALLY WORKING. Read the rest of the article here and REJOICE! THE WORLD WILL SOON BE FREE OF THE EVIL OF CROCS.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!

Congratulations! I HATE Crocs. Now what can you do about the floaty summer dress/knee high Uggs epidemic?
Love, Mom
FIRST OF ALL as disgusting as this might sound to everyone, I would prefer to find a bloody tampon on my plate than a snake head. Sarah- you might recall my fear of snakes. If you think back to a time where I inched my way across the opposite wall of the living room from the collection of snakes. FEAR FEAR FEAR.
But still- tampon in your food. thats just yucky.
Second, the sooner crocs die, the sooner I will rejoice.
Dear Sarah,
Please stop writing about tampons.
Love,
Saint Tigerlily
Mom, Unfortunately Uggs are probably not going anywhere anytime soon. The only thing we can do is ignore them.
Gem: WE WILL HAVE A PARTY WHEN CROCS ARE DEAD. Also - Of course I remember the fear. You and Vicky were a mess.
Tiger - MWAHAHAHA NO.
Yeah, Gem - and me and Sarah's father obliviously going, "Gee, don't you want to hold a nice snake?" We couldn't figure you out - after all, YOU had an iguana!
Love, Wendy
An iguana who couldn't handle stairs. Man, being a kid was fun.
Wendy-
An iguana has legs... it walks like a normal living creature. NOT SLITHER- YUCKY.
:( :( :(

You will be pleased to know that while editing the final version of our new employee handbook, I made an executive decision and added "Crocs" to the list of unacceptable footwear.
You're welcome.
Ahahaha, Lainey that is AWESOME.
Sarah:
Never stop writing about tampons.
But also. If you were a waitress, wouldn't you, no matter WHAT had happened, never ever ever even DREAM of putting a used tampon in someone's food?!? I mean. Maybe that's just me.
Ahahaha, Michele! And of course I would never EVER dream of doing something like that. It's horrendous.
