As some of you are already aware, I am spending a year in the lovely Alpine wonderland of Austria (or Österreich for all the Deutschsprechers). I have been enjoying my time here so far. The country is noted for its peacefulness, its ability to form governments in less than a month, and its aversion to invading random foreign lands. It has a strong tradition of honoring the rule of law. Democracy is sacred. And above all, the people are great: friendly, happy, and non-violent. I thought they were great.
Until today.
For today, a realization hit me. Not the fact that I need to trim my nose hair. Not the fact that I’d left the oven on max all morning. Not the fact that the beer is all too light around here. No, no… something far more insidious than that. Something which threatens to tear apart the fabric of our civilized society.
Austria is no neutral country, no land of innocents. It is, my friends, a vast S.W Training Ground. That’s right, it is a country infiltrated by the agents of the Saucy Wenches. It is a land perverted by the Spooning Wookies. A people influenced by Sand Wiches… and Sand Witches.
S.W has influenced cultural norms to create a perversion, a horrible trait surely meant for harm.
That’s right… they’ve made them all Sandalsocksors! Everyone in this country thinks its ok to wear socks and sandals. Heck, its not only ok, its normal. Hell, its not only normal, its preferable!
The Austrians innocently call them “Hausschuhe” – house shoes. They fill the role of slippers in American culture, sort of. The agents of the Sloppy Willies have created a culture where you’re not supposed to wear your shoes indoors. Instead, you switch into a pair of house shoes, and use those while inside. The thing is, they all wear sandals for this purpose. And they all wear socks while they’re doing it!
The evidence is clear. The ‘Spanding Waistlines infiltrators warped the cultural values to make it expected that one take off their shoes when coming inside. Then they tossed in the additional idea – which may seem innocent on the surface – that one should wear shoes indoors, perhaps to keep ones socks from wearing thin. Then, they manipulated the people into wearing sandals for these shoes.
Graphic proof of the true nature of S.W: Sandalsock Wearers! A group of students at a local school, innocently wearing the doom of us all…
Beware my friends... some day, some foreigner may suggest you wear shoes indoors as well. I beseech you, resist. Resist, fight back! Do not give in, for this is just one small step down the road of S.W Domination! For the sake of us all, you must be strong, and Resist the Seductive Words of the Sandalsock Wearers!

At least they haven't started typing with their tongues or creating cheese in the likeness of every object imaginable.
