Let me see if I have this right, if I help you find your feet and other Birk, you’ll help me find my shell?

Back off Monkey! I saw this Gizeh first!

Nightmare vacation: My fifth wheel driver suddenly becomes a zombie with a pet turtle. I lose one of my white patent Gizeh Birkenstocks at the zoo while feeding peanuts to the monkeys. The monkeys grab the bag and come after my other sandal!!

“We need money. Here’s the plan.
Gizeh? Do some fancy footwork.
Skeletortise? Sing campfire songs.
Me? I’m the bagmonkey. I’ll hold the donations.
Let’s do this.”

Freddy, the goth, camping turtle is taking a walk on the wild side with this new monkey bag and Gizeh sandles.
Comment by Janet Hruby — August 7, 2009 @ 10:13 am
What are we supposed to do with this again? Nevermind the fact I have four feet, its far too big for me. And well you monkey purse, you don’t even have feet!
Comment by alisa — August 7, 2009 @ 11:10 am
The other Gizeh is in “da bag”.
Comment by alisa — August 7, 2009 @ 11:11 am
That was one heck of a trip guys! I must say I fortunate, that witch turned me into something cool, like a Gizeh! Too bad you two didn’t have better luck!
Now if only I could find my other half!
Comment by alisa — August 7, 2009 @ 11:15 am
Being reincarnated isn’t 1/2 bad, when you’re 1/2 a pair of Birk Gizeh Sandals!
Comment by alisa — August 7, 2009 @ 11:17 am
Yeah, I think the white and orange really pop together…me? Oh, I’m rocking a custom shell…you can’t buy these in stores.
Comment by Lee Ann — August 7, 2009 @ 1:53 pm
Drool over my gizehs, if you must, but don’t eat them. And, hey, spit the other one out!!!

It’s monkey business here.

Time to monkey-around.

Hello Birkenstock, hello monkey bag… nice to see you… this reminds me of a joke… A monkey bag, a white birkenstock and a weird turtle walk into a bar…

Monkey Bag and his ever present side kick Turtle Skull on Wheels are out to save the Day and someones foot, anyone, so long as they have a foot!
Gizeh…get your foot into it!
Comment by Margo — August 9, 2009 @ 12:08 am

Comment by Margo — August 9, 2009 @ 12:28 am
O.k. yes, the shell is ridiculous, but I’ve got my gizehs and monkey bag, so it’s all good!
Comment by Lee Ann — August 9, 2009 @ 2:40 pm

WinneSkullTurtleGo: “Take your stinking paws off my Gizeh, you dang dirty ape bag!”
Monkey Bag: “NOBODY puts Gizeh in a corner!”

A one of a kind Orange Leather Moneky bag may say seductive, but a white patent leather Gizeh says divine.
Comment by Richard Huffman — August 10, 2009 @ 6:41 pm
Put another bananna in the monekybag Ms. Gizeh, or the Turtlecamper gets it.
Comment by Richard Huffman — August 10, 2009 @ 6:44 pm
Monkey: YUMMY!
Skeleturt: Nooooo
Comment by Thecrazymusiclady — August 11, 2009 @ 4:42 pm
Little did Monkey know that the fated kiss was to never occur due to the impending doom summarily known as Winnebago Skeleturt.
Comment by Thecrazymusiclady — August 11, 2009 @ 4:45 pm
The only accessory that really matters, is the one you have on your feet. And the Gizeh is sure to impress even the best dressed.
Comment by alisa — August 12, 2009 @ 6:31 am
For those days when a skeleturtle is after your Birke’s get a Gizeh.
Comment by Pheadrus — August 12, 2009 @ 3:00 pm
Don’t be turtle slow. The birk’s are in a Gizeh.
Comment by Pheadrus — August 12, 2009 @ 3:03 pm
Be a pleasa, Get a Gizeh.
Comment by Pheadrus — August 12, 2009 @ 3:04 pm
Some turtles dream.
Others put on sandals
and Demand Gizeh.
Comment by Pheadrus — August 12, 2009 @ 3:04 pm
One day a Gizeh was galivanting through a grass covered field
and decided that it would cram all that it met in to itself.
Then the Evil Skelurtle Showed the true power of the birkenstock
Comment by Pheadrus — August 12, 2009 @ 3:07 pm
Gizeh is Kicking your
Skeleturle’s A** with

Comment by Pheadrus — August 12, 2009 @ 3:08 pm

Comment by Pheadrus — August 12, 2009 @ 3:08 pm

ganking your Gizeh’s Birkenstocks
Comment by Pheadrus — August 12, 2009 @ 3:09 pm
Dream of a Skeleturtles
World.
Gizeh, and one half of a pair of Birkenstocks
Comment by Pheadrus — August 12, 2009 @ 3:12 pm
Some bags are for Skeleturtles,
Some bags are for Birkenstocks,
Others are Gizeh’s.
Comment by Pheadrus — August 12, 2009 @ 3:13 pm
where the wild Gizeh’s Go.
Comment by Pheadrus — August 12, 2009 @ 3:15 pm
Sometimes only Gizeh will do.
Comment by Pheadrus — August 12, 2009 @ 3:24 pm
no, no, i totally get it, turtle. a ‘think tank’. but what i don’t get is after being in one, how you only remembered the one Gizeh.
Comment by melissasantos — August 13, 2009 @ 6:46 am
Birkenstock: now making everyone feel like one of a kind, one Gizeh at a time.
Comment by alisa — August 14, 2009 @ 8:58 am
Personally I think it is what’s on your feet that counts.
Comment by alisa — August 15, 2009 @ 4:25 pm
If I don’t win my wife this bag, she is going to take back my London’s. ;-(
