Flooping

Floating luxoriously amid memories of previous trips, my wife (manycyn) rudely interupted my Zen-like trance to insist I introduce myself.
So.... what is the sound of one flip flopping?

If the flip-flopper is drunk, it sounds like this:

Flip...flop...flip...flop...trip...splat.

I have about 10 pair of Nike Celso flip-flops, and every other pair has one flip-flop that squeaks.

So I'm more of a:

flip...flop/squeak...flip...flop/squeak...flip...flop/squeak...

And if I'm a little drunk, you can insert a "giggle" after each one of the "squeak"s.

And if I'm stumbling a little bit, then you can possibly insert a "ohmygawdigottapeenowwwwww" after one of those giggles, whereupon the flip...flop/squeak...flip...flop/squeak's start to happen a lot quicker which makes me giggle more and consequently have to pee even more!!

A sad, vicious circle it is........

Thanks for the welcoming response.
I've just been infomed that the beads I've worn (in anticipation of sun, ocean, and alcohol-induced koans) this past week were produced and supplied by you.
Thanks! They're great. (The beads ARE a bit bothersome to find and collect from the floor of a tanning booth but then my butt was probably in desparate need of intense ultra-violet rays anyway.)
My single flip-flop seems, strangely, to make the same sound as that of an empty bottle of Corona. And, oddly, it seems to make me need to pee, too!
Do you think it could be the sound?

Perhaps it's my sound card.

Drunk, I suppose. That's the only time I ever really seem to hear it anyway.
I tried walking backwards once to see if maybe the devil was sending me subliminal messages but all I manged to do was walk out of the only sandel I did have.
polf pilf, polf pilf......

You can picture this happening?? You should talk to my David sometime who's seen it take place for real. We were going back to the IB Quetzal around 3 AM one night back in 2005 (?? I think), and all we could hear as we walked the path behind the buildings next to the Riu Yucatan was....

flip... flop/squeak/giggle... flip... flop/squeak/giggle... repeat and repeat.

And David's known me long enough now that when he hears me slur.... "ohmygawwwdineedabathroomnooooooooow!!!!!", it means I'm two flip... flop/squeaks away from dropping my drawers in the nearest bush or wetting my pants!! How the man puts up with me... I'll never quite understand....

Welcome to the forum hootman.

You'll have a "hoot " on this forum.

If you don't flip out first. Craig.
