Where the fuck do my socks go?

I put 4 pairs in the washer and now I have 2 pairs and 2 mismatched socks :headbang:

Happens to me all the time, man. Don't ask me how, but over the course of two days, I lost an entire brand-new package of socks!

I'm telling you, they're up to something!

<_<

>_>

it's the sock monster, all washing machines come equipped with one

It's something bigger, actually. Each washing machine has a special, hidden tube that transports socks back to the sock-making companies, which then refurbish those socks and repackage them! It's a conspiracy!!

I didn't think there were still people around that matched their socks. I don't even bother. :)

I only have black and dark blue socks. Pretty easy to match those. Your son could probably do it

The fools!

Pfff, you've got it easy. I have long, white tube socks, short, white crew-cut socks, white athletic low-cuts, gold-toed socks, white socks with grey trim, grey crew-cuts, black dress socks, brown dress socks, and assorted winter socks.

It's enough to make one go insane...

All my socks are black. They don't show the mud stains as easily. *nod*

You'd better hope those are mud stains...

Dude...... why?

Dude...... why?

Well, my dad's the one who picks out the socks. If things went my way, we'd only have one kind --- White tubes. And not the onion paper-thin ones, either!

I just pair up the ones which match and put the rest on a huge pile of socks without a pair. There all those lonely socks can find company and sometimes even their true partner.

*Has Blackadder flashback*

Edmund: Sir, if I may make so bold, a major crisis has arisen in your affairs.

George: Yes, I know, Blackadder. I've been pondering it all morning.

Edmund: You have, sir?

George: Yes -- socks! Run out again!! Why is it that no matter how many millions of pairs of socks I buy, I never seem to have any?

Edmund: Sir, with your forgiveness, there is another, even weightier, problem.

George: They just...disappear! Honestly, you'd think someone was coming in here, stealing the damn things and then selling them off.

Edmund: (laughs) Impossible, sir. Only you and I have access to your socks.

George: Yes, yes, you're right. Still; for me, socks are like sex: tons of it about, and I never seem to get any.

HEY! I have sex..... like one pair every year :p

Strange, I was thinking about exactly the same thing.
Although I believe 'nervous laugh' get's it across better.

Anyway, as a salesperson who sells washing machines (occasionally) I am pleased to inform you that it isn't a scam by the companies. So either everyone in the world is incompetent, or it's something even BIGGER!


(personally I blame antimatter)

hmmm... 42... nahh doesn't fit...

LOL! :D

Grrrr Kel! Blackadder quoting is my job! :mad:
(I was hoping nobody would quote is so that I could, then I saw that Kel had posted in the thread and knew he'd have quoted it:()

a discussion about socks, interesting

I have 5 white socks, 2 blue socks, 2 red socks, 3 black socks, and 1 gray sock. It strikes me as rather strange, but true.

hmmm... 42... nahh doesn't fit...

Haha! Just finished reading those books again...

Why thank you, Darling. And I hope your mother dies in a freak yachting accident.
:p

The obvious answer is that the common washing machine, due to its fast spin speed, actually creates a wormhole in reality through which random socks can slip. Its narrow, as worm holes are, and cant take a shirt or pants.
Socks, i'm told go to a sockoid planet where they live out there lives in peace.
I can't provide a wed link to prove this although I'm sure one's out there!
try http://www.sockoid.com that may do it.

It must be true.....it's on the web

Damn those wormholes.

The only way to resolve that is to handwash them. But don't scrub them too fast and hard, or it'll start to generate electromagnetic energy and then it'll attract flying metal objects like knives and forks in your direction.

Nonsense.

Where do you think all that lint comes from? The washing machine literally chews up your socks into a fine mist of fibre that then gets plastered to the rest of your clothes in the spin cycle.

Why thank you, Darling. And I hope your mother dies in a freak yachting accident.
:p
Just doing my job Blackadder. And having tremendous *fun* into the bargain!

What the hell are you doing with socks?

you're a pirate!

A legless pirate!

Who moisturizes his pegs!

Ever heard of the 4th dimension? Guess what it's filled with.

Oh, and ask Peechland what kind of sock she found on Ebay.


Just trying to add to my post count - not new, just slow to post :)

Well, that explains it.

I make my socks snuggle an kiss while I still have them on my feet by rubbing them together.

your socks get sucked into the washer's drain.

I'm just a slow poster :( .

Ever notice how Vic's musical toys sound kinda cool when the batteries are low? I think there's a connection between pirates lost socks and vic's low batteries...i'm not sure what the connection is, but with a lil more coffee, i'm sure i can find it... ;)

Maybe it has something to do with the static electricity from such a big pile of socks rubbing together in the 4th dimension...... and then...... something.

Some monkey business...... I MEAN APE!

Huzzah!

YAY! :D

My friend suggested that all people with un matching socks should meet up and bring those afformentioned socks and try and pair them up with someone elses lonely socks :D . Good idea i think!

i like to wear booties

ghosts like to take things sometimes - onetime I asked the ghosts in my home to return all my stuff that they took from me and I got much of it back in the following days.
