From the link:

Have you ever rifled through your socks drawer to find only three socks. One green, one blue and the other yellow? Where did the other one go? Unfortunately these lonely socks are usually thrown away like a piece of rubbish.

A prize for guessing which of those colours most accurately describes the colour of Matt's infamous love sock :-D

"...Maybe Rob from Pontypridd lost a sock with a white stripe around it while Sarah in Cowdenbeath lost exactly the same sock. They both have a lonely sock. These socks should be united with a sock of their own kind. This is what we intend to do on www.lonelysocks.co.uk. It's a tall order but with your help we feel it is possible..."


Well, Bloodline is out of luck, 'cos I don't think anyone is going to say: 'Hey, I also have only one sock that has 5 years' worth of protein in it'

:roflmao:

Who knows, there could be another socks abuser out there :-D

-edit-

We're all too embarrassed to walk into Marks and Spencer (other sock retailers are available) and ask for one sock. This is the true motivation behind the site. To reunite socks with their long lost partners.

Damn right you'd be embarrased if you were of the sock abusing persuasion.

*me pictures blokes in dirty macs and shades asking for a single sock at M&S :lol:

I think The Sock is an instant legend. What other humorous topic has ever spawned so many threads and so many twists and puns and over-all dirty retorts?

I think we should declare every 16th of November 'Sock Day' in honour of the day that Bloodline first told us about his err...distraction.

[Karlos]

Was it the 16th?

I remember it first came up in a topic I started about the (non sexual) pleasure of a warm pair of socks when I had freezing cold feet....

SONNET OF THE SOCKS

A lovely lady by the name of Sharon Kay sent me this poem about socks. She wanted me to share it with you, so here it is..
                             -o-o-o-
Oh tell me where it is the socks all go when they are washed?
It seems they disappear, a problem never to be solved
I sometimes think I'm mad, perhaps I even could be sloshed
There's such a task to match them, so much time can be involved
I wonder if they get all tangled in the washer's works
It's so annoying only having one sock from a pair
Perhaps a nasty sock devourer, in my laundry lurks
Who pounces on each sock out from his sock-devouring lair
How can I find the answer to this problem in my mind?
So members of my family, don't have unmatching feet
It's bothered me for years, in fact I'm really in a bind
If I could find those missing socks I think it would be neat

I think a Solo-Socks Drawer, I will start, for socks to wait
Until their mates are reunited, leaving it to fate.
                          -o-o-o-o-

:-)

It probably never occurred to her to that some socks are best left unfound...

As we're in a poetic mood right now, I find it apt to post the following masterpiece:

Dirty Socks

by Bruce Lansky

My socks were very dirty,
so I washed them in the lake.
It wasn't long before I knew
I'd made a big mistake.

The water changed from clear to mud.
Then fumes began to rise.
And soon a cloud of air pollution
covered up the skies.

When bullfrogs started croaking
and ducks began to quack,
some campers started chanting,
"We want our clean lake back."

I've got a pile of dirty socks.
I'm in an awful bind.
I guess I'll have to bury them.
I hope the worms don't mind.

Hell, if bloodline did that, there's so much DNA in there it would probably be like that Genesis bomb thingy from whichever star trek movie it was :lol:

No it was the 17th! Don't screw up my birthday! :-D

I remember once posting in a thread about lost socks, as I seem to put a pair in the washing machine (a very short journey from my laundry basket) and then once the cycle's finished I always seem to be a sock down by the time I get my washing out of the machine to the bedroom again.

I always wondered where that sock went, but after bloodline's post I'm not sure I want to know...

With respect, I think its tedious now.
And I haven't been around for three days, so I've had to stop picking up my entrails and sewing up my sides for that long. Oh the hardship ;-)

Love it or hate it, it's made a legendary mark on the CH forums. It will come back to haunt you every once in a while, even if only as a private joke. :lol:

Please try to read that at only one level :-P

and I did ignore the disclaimer at the top of the thread, so its my fault
