geesh ... and I was already planning to put in my Online Order for socks ...

because apparently ........ the Stores don't stock the kind and size I need ! :shock:


BTW ... I have sandals without the toe piece ... so I can slip them on quick to check the mail
or something, and NOT have to take off the socks .... or skrunch them on.

ask if I care what the neighbors think ...... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Maybe you could use one of the 10 Apps to Help You Manage Your custom socks?

According to the hilarious pidgin English blurb (I can't resist a bit of badly google-translated nonsense poetry now and then), they'll even make your custom socks out of "anodised aluminium". Very tempting, given how quickly I wear out the usual cotton and wool ones! :lol:

Aaaah, no need to ask - I'm that neighbour on my street, too! ;)

Custom socks? Huh. I have many questions.

Are they a custom fork of regular sock objects that fix the "Sock phases out of existence when placed in clothes dryer" bug?

Was the bug where they gather excessive static electricity patched?

Has someone finally made the elusive Voltage Controlled Sock? That one's personally stumped me for a while.

Aaah! :idea: Maybe that explains the anodised aluminium construction?! :lol:

Based on how quickly I burn through socks from playing Drums ....

maybe those 'anodised aluminium' socks would be a good choice.

Question then ... how to clean them? Clorox ... or outside with the Power Washer ? :shock:

I have learned to be grateful for the annual updates to my sock array. I find obsolete socks tend to develop pesky hole issues outside their support window.

Some parts just don't last as long as they used to! :roll:
