socks galore

what colour socks are you wearing? i’m wearing orange:)

I am wearing hairy thongs at the moment. they are slipper hybrids.

As for socks all mine are mixed up and odd. i just grab any two without holes :slight_smile:

light grey, dark grey, black and stripy, so boring lol. I have two pairs on:D it was cold:D

Too hot for socks right now…one sock is good though.

I’m currently wearing hospital-issue socks. I haven’t been in the hospital since January, but I’ve kept them because they’re warm and have grippy soles.

all my socks are either black or grey

or crusty

I only wear white socks.

You can never have too many socks, you know? so that you can always throw away the ones with holes.

Hahaha,

I was actually just thinking about socks. As much as I hate to admit to my wasteful sock habit I just cant find another way. Freshies (brand new socks) are the only way to go. After hours and hours of summer ridding, I find that my socks are ruined. They get so nasty that the only way is to bleach them, I can get one wash, but after that they just don’t absorb enough sweat. The bleach eats them right up. I go through roughly 2 bags of socks a month… I would wear only freshies if I didnt feel so bad about being so wasteful. About 300 dollars a year is a small price to pay for that oh so wonderful feeling of fresh socks.

Oh, they are white, always white, but right now I have none on… they are in a sweaty ball on the floor until they make it to the garbage.

Have you tried purchasing high-quality socks that are meant to take the heavy abuse you dole out copiously? I wear specific socks for when I do long muni trails and for hiking and skiing, because I know the socks are going to have to absorb a lot of sweat and wear.

As for regular socks, I bought 10 pair almost 2 years ago, and still wear almost all of them. None have holes. I have bought more, difference socks in the meantime, though.

Chili Pepper style aye?

Thought that was a given. :wink:

Between April and October don’t wear socks unless I’m unicycling. The need to wear socks is one of the only disadvantages that there is to unicycing (crotch discomfort being the other ofcourse)

You people are socks mad!

Someone had to say it.

I just found this very helpful sock folding tutorial on Youtube the other day. My mother and I will attest to this method’s space-saving attributes, but she has reservations about whether it would be fast enough for everyday use. You be the judge.

That is pathetic! why does he bother, no wonder he didnt show his face in the video, but the shadow of his nose is huge! Why make such a fuss over folding socks, tie them together and throw them in a draw:D … its quicker! and if you pack them tight enough it saves space too:D

Do not be so hasty, young padawan. Mr. Imbruglia is a connoisseur of the art of sock folding. He likes his sock drawer like his scotch: neat.

He has OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder)!!!

You say that as if it’s a bad thing.

But back to socks. I only wear black ones.

I watched that video. I do the same thing, but I’m not anal OCD about it like him. I’ve been using that method since I was 5, and its takes like 2 seconds. There’s no need to lay them out all perfect and flat like he does, I just grab two socks, just making sure they’re both not inside-out, and put them into a ball like that. Literally takes like 2 seconds.
