    Why not just design some crocs that look like hooves? Because that's what your feet look like while wearing them, anyway.

    At least Crocs are relatively inexpensive and comfortable. If any ugly as fuck shoe is to disappear let it be Ugs.

    Mario Batali wears Crocs, so they get a pass.

    I've always thought they needed to start a baby product line. I've heard that their gardening kneeler is a perfect kneeler to use when giving your kid a bath. Expand it--make a big old crock changing mat, bath toy caddy, changing table caddy, etc. The bright colors would be huge with people who are sick of pastel pink and blue and the lack of odors absorbed would be a big seller.

    Um, Jezeditors?

    Crocs actually does make a variety of shoe shapes, including some maryjane flats that I have considered buying. The flip flops are hella comfortable too. The original Crocs are not my thing, but they do have some more traditional looking ones that aren't half bad, especially for summer wear.

    I love their non-clog shoes. I'm thinking of buying a few pairs. They're great if you have to spend a long time standing up every day (so if you're a nurse, chef, or customer service wage slave like I was!) and since I'm thinking of going into pharmacy medicine I'm going to be needing a few pairs of really comfortable, ugly work shoes.

    @Flackette Goes Retro: I absolutely love my croc flipflops. I live in a place with lots of hills and very bad roads. My guy had crocs that he wore everyday and they outlasted several pairs of my shoes that I rotated through. Went and brought a pair and soooo comfortable.

    I hope crocs keep and going because I would like to keep buying their sandals and flipflops.

    They also sell wellie boots (galoshes).

    My mother once very wisely said "The important thing new parents have to remember is that honestly, nobody cares. Maybe the grandparents. But other than that, people don't want to hear about it." And this is coming from a woman who had two children by choice and stayed home with us for years. My parents loved us very much, but fully recognized that nobody else outside of immediate family could really be expected to care. I wish more people could have this attitude today, so I wouldn't feel morally obligated to coo over babies I've never actually seen in real life.

    When I update about my kid it is usually about something really weird or dippy he did, but that's fair because if I update about me it is usually about something really weird or dippy I did.

    The only people who've dropped me are family, not friends. heh. #facebooksfivemostannoyingparen...

    You don't even have to block people on Facebook. If they bore or annoy you, you can just hide their updates. Blocking is for severed relationships and stalkers. #facebooksfivemostannoyingparen...

    @fattylumpkin: On the right side of the news feed, if you mouse-over someone's update, it'll give you a "hide" option. If you click that, it'll hide all of that person's posts. If it's an application update, you'll get a drop-down when you click the "hide" button so you can hide just the application updates or everything that person posts. This feature makes Facebook usable for me ;) #facebooksfivemostannoyingparen...

    They're not as bad as they were 5 or so months ago--I guess the fad died, but they cluged up my news feed forever, and each one was made by a different developer, so you couldn't block them en masse. I ended up hiding status updates from repeat offenders. #facebooksfivemostannoyingparen...

    @JennaW: but all of the applications are produced by different companies, or they have different titles, so whereas it is very straightforward to block updates from Farmville or Mafia Wars, it's harder to block all of the "What Disney Princess/classic cocktail/whatever are you?" type things because you can't block them all--you can block Disney Princess, but classic cocktail will still get through.

    My Facebook friends with kids are generally pretty okay.

    I think updating several times a day everyday is the really annoying thing. Very few people have that much to say about themselves.

    A lot of these parents on Facebook things including STFU Parents just seem bitchy to me. For every reasonable "Post about something other than your kid" or "Don't post photos of your kid on a toilet!" there's something like "How dare you go to a concert mother of a 2 year old, its just desperate!" or "How dare you post that you're psyched about her baby shower, obviously you're a materialistic bitch!" #facebooksfivemostannoyingparen...

    In reply to "You'd Think These Parents And Their Colicky Offspring Had A Monopoly On The Crying Game."
    I have a fb friend who has a whole album of "preggo pics", including pics of the positive pregnancy test, which she posted the day she found out. She updates the album every week with pictures of her from the front, left side, and right side, complete with commentary about how her body is changing and how she is dealing with the nausea, etc. She found out that the baby is a girl and she has announced the name of the baby and now refers to it in status updates. Examples: "Oooh I love feeling (Baby's name) kicking. Her profile picture is the ultrasound of the baby. The baby is due in late March.
    I think it is a bit much, but I'm nosy and if she is ok with posting that much in a semi public forum, then it doesn't really matter to me. I also hide her status updates, so I don't have to see them every time I log in. #facebooksfivemostannoyingparen...

    @the dodo, the cuckoo, and the nene: Maybe she's trying to demystify pregnancy for her friends and family? I know that I always want to ask pregnant friends all sorts of weird questions. Putting it on Facebook seems like an easy way to deal with the questions all at once, rather than having to answer them again, and again, and again... #facebooksfivemostannoyingparen...

    @Dancingfrog: I understand why people do it, especially those that have friends/family all over the country. I'm just saying that I personally would feel uncomfortable posting that much info in full view of every person that I am "friends" with. I have other friends who didn't reveal that they were pregnant until after the baby arrived. People can do what they wish. #facebooksfivemostannoyingparen...

    @DinosaurDanceParty: That's an amusing story. I'm sure that happens to a lot of people. Facebook has definitely redefined what we consider friendship. I make full use of privacy settings-most of my pics/statuses can only be viewed by about 30 people. The rest, well, to be honest, I keep 'em around because I'm nosy and I am addicted to Facebook. #tips
