Random Smoking Thoughts #2

Why don’t the people who make socks ever unveil a new product line, where consumers could purchase a single sock? Especially the sport socks, since they’re so generic and there’s really only about four colours and 12 styles to choose from.

That whole ‘I lost a sock in the laundry’ problem that most of North America has? Would totally be solved.

Plus it would really give the alternative kids some new options. Instead of wearing sock A from pair 1 and sock B from pair 2, they could mix and unmatch to their hearts’ desires.

And think of the hand puppet and sock monkey possibilities.

[So, I admit it here, I've super duper amazingly outdone even myself in the procrastination league, leaving myself mostly only this weekend to cover about eight months of bookkeeping for a client. Then I found the L Word episodes. Then I just continued doing nothing as pressing as this deadline of Monday is.

[So now, it's Sunday night at 11pm and I'm super duper amazingly happy that I had some posts drafted. I fell asleep at 7:30 this morning (for last night's rest, I mean), got up at just after 9am and find myself nodding at every opportunity. And this is the absolute worst timing.

[Will I learn from this? Yup. I always do learn how not to procrastinate. Do I ever implement my self-taught lessons? NotSoMuch.]

  • On a related note--have you heard of the product Throx. You buy a package of socks with three socks total, so if you lose one, you have a backup. It's really more of a gag gift or a stocking stuffer, but you can see how it would be useful for when you lose a sock in the laundry...

  • mismatched socks is a major fashion statement in my house. roo-girl does it on purpose. makes it easier for her to convince me to buy colored socks since it won't matter if she finds the mate! :-)

  • Single socks?!

    This is an idea that could really take off. I'd steal the idea and start my own business if I weren't such a procrasinator myself.

    BTW - left you some bling at my joint a few days ago...

  • But then if a lost sock does come home, it'll be all jealous of single sock and all "hey, that's my boyfriend, bitch" and then it'll just get ugly.

  • I like to think of procrastination as an art form - it's taken me a really long time to perfect my skills, and I should be proud of them, right?
  • I'll sell you my single socks. :)
