Is wearing two different colored socks some major sin or against the law or something. Whenever I get holes in a sock, I'll throw it away and find the next newest one to replace it. Sometimes I end up with one black and one white sock on or whatever, and people all day are laughing at me, saying 'ha ha ha...you've got two different colored socks on!!'.

uh.. yeah, I know. I'm the one who put them there.

Like, what's the big deal.
If you get a hole in one sock, are you really going to throw out both of them just so you can match up the same color?
Or am I supposed to always buy the same colored socks?

Like.. who made up this stupid rule?

Socks are a real touchy thing man. You get ridiculed if they're too long and you wear em with shorts. They're supposed to match your shoes. They're supposed to be the same color.

Y'know what? I think I'm gonna start a coalition against sock uniformity and the standards that society wants us to live up to regarding socks. I'll call it CASUATSTSWUTLUTRS. Whos with me?!!

ha, I do that all the time. In fact I'm wearing one black and one white sock right now, if it is a sin, than I am a horrible person indeed.
If there's one thing I've learned, it's that life is one crushing defeat after another until you just wish Flanders was dead.

Rock stars ... is there anything they don't know?

I wouldn't make fun of you for wearing different coloured socks. I'd probably just point it out and laugh at you, assuming you're too poor to buy same-coloured socks.

If that was just a random quote that didn't depend on this thread to exist, it would very Jack Handyesque. Funny nonetheless.

Like, is this a problem?

I have a sock drawer. It's full of socks. They're white. All of 'em. I bought a whole bunch of identical pairs of white socks and put them all in the drawer. When I get dressed, I take two socks out of the drawer and I put them on. When I do my laundry, socks with holes in them get thrown out instead of being washed. The clean socks get put in the drawer when I take them out of the dryer. I don't pair them up - why bother? They're all the same.

No problem.


Find something that deserves your thought and attention. Socks are so not an issue.

'cause they're too prissy to go commando, or too lazy to wear clean pants every day?

Because it takes forever to find a pair that lets your 'package' sit just right. So when you do find a good pair, you wanna keep em forever.
That, and guys hate wasting money on clothing when they can buy good stuff like beer instead.

Can't stand em... they get all bunched up under your jeans and then they get stuck in your butt cheeks. There's nothing more uncomfortable that having underwear stuck up your butt cheeks. Then you have to go through the embarassement of finding somewhere where nobody can see you so you can pick it out. Try that in a crowded mall.
Girls think I'm smiling at them, but I'm actually grimacing thinking 'god..I can't wait to get my underwear out of my butt'.

Wanna hear something absurd? I once asked a female friend of mine why they like to wear thongs and other ass flossers. She replied "because they're comfortable" and went onto explain that they don't have to pick wedgies with thongs. WTF?

Yeah, I gave it a try but the stores never have enough of one color in stock. (gotta have those padded Happy Socks man!)
I end up pulling the last 4 they have in beige (I can't buy black cause the black cotton falls all over the beige carpet and looks like earwigs)
Then I just get sick of shopping and settle for whatever they have so I end up with black anyways. Socks wear out real fast around here cause everybody takes off their shoes in the studio...so, like I'm talking maybe a week or two and you start noticing the first holes popping through after you take em out of the dryer. I got 10 pair for xmas and half of em have already been tossed on the fire.

Can't wait for summer. I get to go barefoot for a few months.

I think the different colored sock rule came about when it became a sin to dress anything like you did back in the 80's.

and I totally agree about finding a pair of underwear that fits your package just right!
