Do you remember the good old days when a pair of socks stayed together? Old fashioned values seem to have slipped away, it's so sad.

    To be fair, that was back in the day when people washed their socks by hand, and a good pair had to last years, if not a lifetime. Now, we don't rely on long-term pairing as much, and socks are free to go their separate ways when it suits them. I personally think it's a good thing. Would YOU want to be paired with someone you didn't get long with for life? I think not. Socks deserve the same rights.

    EQUAL RIGHTS FOR SOCKS!!!

      Sigh.  ((((She obviously works for the opposition, folks.  This diatribe is just more fake news trying to make it seem as if I'm crazy for bringing up this issue.  They think they can silence me with their mud-slinging, but I won't give up my fight.))))

    I'm sorry, ALF -- it's been a long day and I'm not following your comment but I knowing you, I know it's a great comment even though I don't get it!
    At any rate, I'd take how ever many he had!
    :)

    Upon a second look, the second guy from the left has potential socks appeal to me, too.

      Er, um, the post is about missing socks, so Alf made the connection between what you said (the guy in the middle) and missing socks.

    Geez -- it's as plain as day to me now.
    I'm an idiot more often than I'd like to admit, Randy D! Thanks for helping me out!

  • I think I'm starting to see a pattern here ...
    The Randy D reputation ...
    Is "sox" really a code word for ...
    This is not the first person to misconstrue the evidence!  :))

  • "Wolves and hawks mate forever!"  Shouldn't we expect that of the things we hold most dear as well?  It's mass production that has stripped away the values from the world we knew and left America a husk of its former self.  We need those socks to be whole again!
