The lost sock thread

Submitted by THX 1138 on


Where the hell do they go?

Other lost objects are welcome to be discussed.

Didn't you ever wonder
how you always make a blunder
when you're counting all your socks
into the washing machine?

And when the dryer finishes drying
and you're crying
'cuz you got a bunch of old maid socks
it's a bad scene

Where does the wayward footwear go?
to the bottom of the ocean
or to China
or to Cuba
or Aruba
(Aruba)

And when the dryer finishes drying
and you're crying
'cuz you got a bunch of old maid socks
it's a bad scene.

Describe it. I'll keep my eyes open for it.

Who's Scribe?

How do you get that colored text?

"font color=purple"

The simple way is

Replace the "" with
<>

Replace purple with the color of your choice.

Speaking of hairbrushes:

When I was a kid, we had a particular clear-plastic handled hairbrush that was chipped in a very distinct, unmistakable way.

It usually sat on the flat area atop the toilet.

One day it fell in and got flushed.

Months later, I was walking in a faraway part of town.

There, by a sewer grating, was that hairbrush.

I was amazed and somewhat spooked enough to not pick it up.

Just kept walking...

Well, it COULD have been haunted!

LOL Dennis! It was probably worse than haunted after a couple of months in the sewer!

Incidentally today- Beans had to bring a sock to Kindergarten to make 'sock puppets'. I sent her with a whole bag of singles for the class. So I am beginning a new collection of single socks today-

ALSO...hmmmm...speaking of 'single socks'-we search for their match, usually lost somewhere in washer/dryer heaven IS LIKE AW's Singles Club searching for their match (don't most singles search for dates/mates at the laundry-mat?)-maybe not a good idea to look there :)

Lost Socks & Dead Threads? I think there is something to this.

Maybe if this thread gets long enough, we can use it to make a clone of the lost sock?
