A fresh and fun idea has hit the fashion headlines this week – a sandal as the sole pubic cover. The lowly flip-flop, with a thinner design and elastic straps, has taken a step up, to become a trendy under-the-pants or on-the-beach thong. The thong thong is available in eight colors and five popular shoe sizes.-- FarmerJohn, Jun 14 2003 (?) sole sister http://www.geocitie...nie/thongthong.html [FarmerJohn, Oct 04 2004, last modified Oct 21 2004] (?)

Very nice.-- bristolz, Jun 14 2003 Watch out for athlete's.... ummm... jock itch?-- RayfordSteele, Jun 14 2003 After proving popular with beach-goers and a very successful marketing campaign, it has been announced that the Ministry of Health has banned the fabrication and sale of these items due to very high health risks. The design was simple yet flawed in a very crucial area. The controversy was sparked when a recently-escaped-from-jail Jeffrey Archer gatecrashed the Labour Party conference and provided everyone with Thong Thongs as a gesture of friendly making-up. Unbeknownst to Blair, Brown and Blunkett, Archer had replaced the commonly-used leather straps with highly elastic rubber bands. Therefore, after waiting for the senior cabinet to have donned the items, Archer, rising with a huge battle-cry, raced down the beach twanging all the sandals as he went past, leaving behind him a trail of badly hurt, ego- and ball-bruised politicians in foetal positions moaning quietly. Comments ranged from 'The bastard, the utter utter bastard' to 'Oooeeeoooeeeoooee me clockweights.' and to 'Oh yes again please Mr Archer' from Peter Mandelson.-- Mistress Bling, Nov 08 2003 Might provide a useful advantage when playing beach soccer.
