Do you think the hate comes from the snow shovelers who don't get to see their practicality?

    Northerners are usually pretty loud... talking about PAHKIN THEIR CAH... I will assume their silence is tacit approval.

    This is a dirty lie propagated by northerners and Texans.

    I can only speak for myself, but this northerner is always surprised that there are people who think the Mason-Dixon line has anything other than historic significance.

    It's all fly-over territory anyway

    Okay, then. What does it have to do with the "south" and "snow shovels"?

    I'm just telling you. I'm not understanding your thought process.

    wait... Americans have a north-south divide too?


    I'm from London. that means anything that's north of the Watford Gap is "up norf"

    there's a north-south divide within London too.

    Call me stupid, after all I live in Alabama, but I don't understand this. What about crocs? Snow shovels? Are you asking about fundamental differences in culture? Please excuse my college educated question.

    Here is a crocodile in northern Australia.
    Fortunately we don't have them down south where I live.

    I wear my crocs year-round, including the mammoth style without socks in the winter. Mostly I stick to outdoor activities like walking the dogs. When I do serious walking for my fitness wearable, it's either the crocs or sneakers.

    There are a lot of crocs in New Jersey, and it's not only kids - I've seen men wearing them too.

    Yes, I do. (I'm not sure if it's a good thing or bad thing that I understand exactly what you mean.)

    In northern Illinois, they sell crocs that have a sheepswool lining, making them suitable to wear for snow removal. Of course, up here, we have the common sense not to buy them. Ever.

    Confession: I seriously thought the thread was about crocodiles :blushing:


    realizes it is about crocs, the footwear

    They're just as impractical in the south. Hot weather + foam-material footwear = slip and slide.

    actually you do. there is an american crocodile that exists in southern florida. the pic you posted is a saltwater croc. but the american crocodile can be found in the same habitat in florida as the american alligator.

    I love my Crocs that don't look like Crocs, too!

    I have to agree though that they're totally a hazard on wet surfaces...I've almost busted by @$$ on more than one occasion.

    As much as I would like to support the OP in his endeavor to troll northerners, CROCS are terrible, and the people who wear them are just as bad.

    I use marshmallows to attract crocs...both species, the scaly reptile and the homonid biped
