How do you like your socks

With thise sock meme going strong for years now on this forum, and the fact that the ordinary men who cannot but watch the Order of the Sock members in their ivory tower and thereby never be able to share their sock adventures, I thought it was time to give a reachout for all those unfortunate.

I generally prefer it when they still bend.

Eh, I wasn't yet ready with the poll. I guess that's felt-ish then. :)

Stiff from dried sweat. Yummy!

Hey Whabang,
I'm doing quite well. Finished my study finally a year ago, and working since, and recently stumbled across a great career opportunity :)
Still single though..

How are you?

Hang on a minute that other poll about the accelerator board must be the shortest lived poll ever, what happened to it... :confused:

Anyway on the subject of socks I never wash mine I just throw them away each day and wear a new pair each day so I don't know which box to tick... :)

Real men die from liver or heart conditions. Or gunshot wounds.

The '060 wasn't really in stock at Software Hut.  He may have to go with an '030 instead.

I like my socks matching, clean, and always with the right foot put on first. I've actually become so obsessed with putting them on in the right order that if I ever forget and do it wrong, I have to put them on correctly twice to cancel out the error :-/
Code: [Select]
10  IT\'S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN
20  FOR C = 1 TO 2
30     DA-NA-NAAAA-NAAAA DA-NA-NA-NA-NAAAA
40     DA-NA-NAAAA-NAAAA DA-NA-NA-NA-NA-NA-NAAAAA
50  NEXT C
60  NA-NA-NAAAA
70  NA-NA NA-NA-NA-NA-NAAAA NAAA-NAAAAAAAAAAA
80  GOTO 10

How about gunshot wounds through the heart / liver? Does that earn double masculinity experience points?

Sounds a bit OCD. I mean CDO, the letters have to be in ascending order, after all...

Or a bullet through a cirrhotic liver or a fat-lined artery?

Maybe the fat would deflect the bullet slightly, thus preventing an arterial rupture?
