Ben’s Bear Feet

posted by on October 19 at 11:30 AM

Ben, my host while I visited Boston College yesterday, was wearing flip-flops when he picked me up at the airport yesterday. Since Flip-flops had recently come up in “Savage Love”—or “thong sandals,” as this particular flip-flop fetishist insisted on calling the objects of his affection—I couldn’t help but notice Ben’s flip-flops. I’m not into flip-flops myself, or feet, or hairy toes. But for those that appreciate any or all of the above, this picture is for you…

Point of clarificatin: Ben’s not really a bear—just his toes. And I wanted to include this photo in the post I wrote yesterday about arriving in Boston but for some reason—some sophisticated foot/flip-flop fetish spam filter?—it took 24 hours to arrive in my inbox.

I wish people would stop wearing flip flops, I really do.

Since this post is sort of gay (in the best sense, naturally) I just want to share that I'm watching Liza with a Z. Liza's a GENIUS!

Lovely feet.

hairy feet do not make you a bear they make you a Hobbit.

This dude's feet are nasty - with or w/o flip flops. Look like iguana toes.

I stand with Ben in Hobbitt-footed solidarity.

Ben, my hairy toes salute you!

Our Hawaiian brothers call them by their true name: "slippers", pronounced "slippahs". Sometimes "rubbah slippahs." Even in stores, that's how they're labeled.

When I was a kid in Maryland, everyone I knew called them "thongs".

Dudes in sandals is pretty consistent with my image of Bostonians, as well.

I'm not really into feet much, but there's something really sexy about this picture.

I'm a grad student in a college town. I'm wild about feet! These dudes walk around with flip flps no matter the weather and I can't get any foot action. It's hot and heartbreaking.

Dan, I was wonderng since BC encouraged you not to rag on Catholics or Jesuits or the Pope, and since Seattle University is also a Jesuit school (as is Georgetown), has SU ever placed that kind of restriction on you? I've never heard of any speaker here being warned in advance about content.
