| Birthday Present |
| 08.05.05 (3:14 pm) [edit] |
|
My birthday is coming up (which I loathe particularly this year) and I've been asked by several folks what I'd like as a present. After doing laundry, I came up with a very simple request: I'd like the missing mate to all the socks I have. |

now, you just KNOW you're going to get a mailbox full of single socks!!
at least, that's what *I'D* do if I knew an address ;)
either that or a yard full of pink flamingos.

Someone in our neighborhood had something like that happen - the flamingos and the Neighborhood Nazi Association fined them for breaking the bylaws. (Like the person had any knowledge of it?)
Since all my friends around here have dried up, no chance in that happening. (It does sound like something April would do though, doesn't it?)
We should start an organization where everyone donates their single socks on the chance that perhaps a mating can be made from them. It could be named Single Sock Rescue.

I have a few weeks... so you can still squeeze in some shopping.

maybe your socks are at my house! I have a bag with approx. 50 unmatched socks!

I probably have more than that - I'm convinced if I throw one away, I'll find the mate. And that's just for one person.
And why is it that I never lose the gold lame socks or the ones with chili peppers on them, but I have 14 unmatching black socks?

They are probably matches to ones I'd have. I could send you those..... or a photo if you'd like.

Oh, there was a Far Side where an Alien was doing laundry asking where the socks were coming from ... since these didn't have feet. I think pens go the same way.

I have more pens than I know what to do with. (Maybe I'm in a vector that sucks away my socks and deposits excess pens here?)
I have a laundry basket (not exaggerating!) full of white, off-white, and black socks w/o mates. I know if I throw them away, I'll miraculously discover the missing ones. Of course, the cheap ones I buy never disappear, just the good, expensive, favorite ones. Figures eh?
Maybe I should set up a website for missing socks? Or we could put them on milk cartons?
