Can you explain for us the reason for your existence?

What if the dog is wearing one of those elizabethan collars?

And, what is it like to go through the hole in a dryer?

Dear Sock(s);
Other than That Thing In The Dryer (TTITD), do socks have any natural enemies? And are you guys all geminis or just happier in pairs? :mrgreen:

I have a theory that those socks that go missing in the laundry turn into clothes hangers. Take a look in your closet, there are LOTS of clothes hangars in there but did you buy all of them? I didn't think so. So, where the hell are all the hangers coming from? I believe that those missing socks turn into hangers. I can't confirm this and it's just a theory but, maybe a real sock can confirm or deny this.

What say you sock? Do you guys secretly desire to become a clothes hanger?

Do you become a monkey as a normal part of your life cycle, or is monkey an achievement for only the enlightened few?

The clothes hanger theory has been proved untrue. It is now well understood that the spin cycle of a washing machine can create quantum black holes, which connect via wormholes to black holes at other points
in the universe.
Everyone is so politically fucked up that they're segregating themselves in the name of equal rights and liberation.

There is a theory (that I just made up) that the alleged black hole at the center of the galaxy is made completely of lost socks. Since white socks tend to be more dense that black socks, they sink to the center causing this outer "shell" to be almost solid black.
