Random Smoking Thoughts #2

Posted by Zoeyjane on Aug 31, 2008 in random, why did i do that? |

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.]

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?

Just sell the socks in threes instead of pairs…easy peasy.

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.

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…

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! :-)

Get out there girl–a company called “little mismatch” does just that–Just got my daughter a set of 9 individual socks–none of them match and all of them are cute!

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…
