    Talking May 9-Lost Sock Memorial Day

    May 9 is Lost Sock Memorial Day (no, really).

    So let's have a moment of silence for those poor lost socks, and lets not forget about their now single partners, they need our help now more than ever!....

    Let us all then Honor these brave socks.
    socks who have sacrificed themselves.

    That reminds me of a ditty

    In day of old, when Nights were bold.
    They put a sock upon their . . . . . something . . . . babies were prevented.

    I forgot how it went. :cry:

    I thought it was because the sailors carried a bag and the bag was called a ditty bag.
    Because they were a rough bunch any salty jokes or stories were called ditty's

    No lost socks here.
    I always buy the same socks.
    White sports socks, sad but effective.
    Haven't had a lost sock since 1982
    One less thing to stress about.
    In the 80's in the U.K. white socks were the in thing.
    All i have to do now is pull up my trouser legs and look down, it's like time travel

    I'm always losing socks!

    They go into the washing machine in pairs, but often emerge single!!

    Pachinkos, Pachislos, Coffee, Papercraft Ninja, Pinball

    I ran away with the Steampunk Circus!
