I'm wearing Christmas socks today.
Does this make me part of the problem?

5. I don't
But a progmom-wearing-Christmas-socks fetish, that's another question.

8. Because the progmom is part of the premise
and as part of the premise, it is fresh and clean and sails are unfurled fully.

17. I believe
that we in this country have a constitutionally guaranteed separation of socks and state. At least in theory, you should be free to sock as you chose.

But if, by some chance, there is a government ordered ban on Christmas socks, I recommend you remove your soiled Christmas socks, fill them full of falafels and loofa & mail them forthwith to Bill O'Reilly. He'll know what to do with them. And if not, you can tell him.

26. Hmm. I'm not sure.
You may want to ask sniffa. :evilgrin:

IMHO, if you can wiggle your toes and feel all cozy and warm in them, then no you are not part of the problem. Really, there is no problem. Right wingers are just addicted to complaining. It's all they are really good at if you think about it.

27. No - but if you've still got them on today it does.
As you'd be making the entire office smell. :P

30. I just knew you wouldn't do such a thing.
:loveya:

My solution to the clean matching socks dilemma is simply to buy identical plain black ones - saves me much time.

31. Have you discovered the conspiracy yet?
They dye one sock of the pair with colour-fast dye, whilst the other one will fade. After a few washes you end up with an odd black sock and an odd grey one, forcing you to buy a new pair.
