The "Damn my socks are cute today!" thread.

More socks and Crocs. What can I say, my poor ole feet love Crocs even if I despise them.

[girl_dee]

Hello Kitty Footies!!!!

[Gemme]

I have light brown and white slipper socks on. They will stay on my tootsies throughout the evening and into the bed, on the clean sheets and everything.

It's going to be 30 degrees here.

What have these tiny psuedo socks ever done? Maybe it's karma from something they did in a past life. Maybe peds were once boot torture devices in the middle ages.

Here's the thing: you are assuming I am a peaceable non violent individual in the first place. Also: I think the phrase "tiny PSEUDO SOCKS" says it all. Peds are not a full sock, they aren't even an ankle sock, they aren't nylons even if they are made of the same material. What are they? WHAT ARE THEY?

They both belong, of course. True to my screen name--I am capable of being sweet like candy one minute and a bitch the next. It makes perfect sense to me.

Yesterday: over the knee socks with bright, neon colored striped in fuchsia, blue, yellow, and orange. Some of the wide fuchsia stripes had yellow polka dots. Yes, they are as garish as they sound and yes, they had the desired effect.

Today: white with orange and lime slices that say "juicy".

It's an anti-style statement

To be fair, I wouldn't be seen dead outside the house with them on.

[ahk]

I haven't been in a cute sock mood lately--
Just been wearing work socks and/or nekkid.

I'll be okay-- I think.

Hmm. You're right I did lump you in with other peaceable non violent individuals who have become quite combative regarding the peds issue. I jumped the gun there. You are not a peaceable non violent individual unless you are. It fluctuates if I understand correctly. You are capable of going one way or the other.

What are peds? Peds is a brand name for what is called a footlet. I don't know who would call them that or even why. It makes no sense. Footlet. Now that angers me a bit. I guess I'm not very peaceable myself. But seriously what is a footlet? Why would someone name something that. A socklet perhaps, but a footlet?

The little hard plastic things on the end of shoelaces are called aglets (sometimes spelled aiglets).

What?

What do you expect when you come at me with useless trivia?

It's on like Donkey Kong!

Also, speaking of DK, the music that plays during the first stage in Donkey Kong Country, in the level called "Jungle Hijinx", is actually three demo tracks pieced together.

Maybe it's called a footlet cuz it LETS the FOOT do something for which I do not know?

You know, the definition of footlet is: 'a low sock for women covering either the whole foot below the ankle or only the toes, worn for protection or warmth'. So, that means all socks that rest beneath the ankle are footlets.

Hmmm....

I love useless trivia. Although I don't believe any trivia is useless. Knowledge is power. Someday knowing what they call the plastic things on the end of shoelaces could save your life or the life of someone you love. And that information regarding the music in Donkey Kong Country...priceless.

How many socks rest beneath the ankle? And look at this:


It might be wearing a sign but in what world is that a sock?

It's a slipper, no? Or as my mother would say, "beddie".

Which is kind of weird (to call a slipper a beddie), because you don't where slippers IN the bed.

She also calls a vaccuum cleaner a sweeper. Which of course makes no sense.

She calls taking the dog out to pee, "watering the dog".

My mother has problems.

LOL. Watering the dog.

Yes, it's a slipper but it's wearing a sign that claims it is a footlet, which, as we have come to understand, is a low sock covering either the whole foot below the ankle or only the toes. I think it's having an identity crisis. I could wear a sign that says i'm a rutabaga but it wouldn't make me one. Seems we always come back to this on these boards. Who gets to say how we identify? We do. If i look at that way, I guess it's a footlet. But I think it might have been coerced. And it looks like a slipper to me.

My mother called them house slippers, I guess to distinguish them from all her other slippers. Her ballet slippers, her ballroom slippers, her glass slippers and of course her ruby slippers. There's no place like home.

You understand perfectly.

I agree. Adding the ending "let" to the end of a word suggests that it is somehow smaller or more diminutive. So, we're really dealing here with a little sock-type-thing not a little FOOT. Just thinking about a footlet gives me the creeps.

What the motherfucking FUCK? WHY did you do this? That is one of the most horrifying things ever. That is NOT a sock, and I feel sorry for whoever made that sign who thinks so. I would say it qualifies more as some kind of hideous slipper. My grandmother used to wear slippers like that.

<---------feeling VERY violent over that picture

Now we know where you got your OCD tendencies with clothing. Your mother completely gave you a sense of complete disorder and confusion.

Today: bright pink fuzzy knee socks that have a green stripe at the top and a Hello Kitty face and hearts down the sides.

Hmmm....

What happens if you have an ankle sock that shrunk in the dryer and now rests below the ankle...is it then transformed from an ankle sock into a footlet?

Also this convo is my first ever introduction to the word "footlet" and already it's annoying me. This sock needs to be renamed, if only for the sake of my sanity...

Damn it. To think of all the thousands of dollars I have spent for therapy over the years......

I should have known. It's ALWAYS the mother's fault!

It was a very astute observation on my part, that even used the word "complete" in a completely redundant way.

And that is what completely impressed me.

I am here in solidarity to protest the footlet.

(I have nothing to add when it comes to socks. I go barefoot or wear flip flops/sandals with my shorts and t shirts, even when going out at night in November. I could get used to this.)
