1. I know where they are.

They've gone to the hozone.

[rug]

2. You have pedestrian taste in hosiery.

[Tab]

8. I take umbrage with that, Sir.

If I wasn't a pedestrian, I wouldn't need hoisery.

[MissMillie]

3. There's a simple explanation for this....

[Tab]

4. That'd be a good explanation

... but I don't own a cat.

I do have a thieving bastard dog, but he's more taken with food than clothing.

[MadMaddie]

5. I am missing the actual sock material in the toe and heal area

If you find it please return to me. No questions asked.


hmmmmm

I should go talk to my dog about that.....

6. I know you don't want to hear this now, but just do like I do--

keep your socks rolled up in your pantlegs when taking off your clothes, so you run the best possible chance of all your socks being washed when your pants are, and remaining with your pants when the time comes to sort and put the laundry away.

[quakerboy]

7. I have a simple solution that will ensure you never loose another sock

Give all your socks to goodwill and wear sandals from now on. Its worked for me since 2001. I have 6 pairs of socks my Gma gave me years ago, still in the bag, just in case I ever need socks for some reason. Sealed in a bag, you never lose one.

9. CBC news once ran a contest to come up with the reason why socks go missing in the dryer. The winner

was "no sock is missing, the lint just got alltogether and formed a new sock" LOL!

[eridani]

13. There was a quantum physics sock like Schroedinger's cat also, no?

And then there's the hypothesis that the sock is the larval form of the coathanger.

[petronius]

10. If #3 has gold-colored threads at the toe, I've got it

Fax me the reward money, and I'll e-mail you the sock. Otherwise, it goes in the rag-bag...

[Tab]

24. FAX you the money?

Ha ha... sure! Just tell me the number.

And then what... are you going to fax me the sock?

Oh, waut,,, you're going to email it. Hmmm... Maybe I should email the monel. How about that?

[nickgutierrez]

11. I guess the underpants gnomes have branched out into the stolen socks industry.

I've got a few socks missing, too. Just wait until I catch one of those little bastards...

[Stinky The Clown]

12. Check your sheets

We often find these little bastids hiding in them, even after folding, storing, and then using said sheets.

[Tab]

23. Fuck you, Stinky.

At leat I don't need to stuff my pants with socks, Thank You Very Much.

[Arkansas Granny]

14. The dreaded sock monster has taken up residence in your appliances.

For some reason, said monster never takes pairs of socks, just one at a time. There is never a ransom note, therefore your chances of ever having those socks returned are practically nil.

[Mind_your_head]

15. I don't know about socks.....but I've often seen "one shoe" at the side

of the road and wondered about the fate of the "other shoe"

:eyes:

[RushIsRot]

25. I have read that those single missing socks actually team up

with the single shoes.

My theory is this: The dryer is actually a time-warping machine that sends those single socks into outer space. You know those rings around Saturn? They're composed of lost socks.

[crim son]

16. Missing:

1) confidence. Strong, practically vibrating with energy. Last seen early March 2006.
2) Excellent parent and wife. It looked perfect, from the outside. Last seen late August 2005.
3) My Love. Dark hair, sweet brown eyes. A repuke, but only because he was scared to change. Last seen Feb 14 2009.
4) Hope. Ever fleeting, always sustaining. Last seen Feb 2009.

[Mind_your_head]

17. Wha?

You lost your 'love'?

If that's the case don't go telling us here on DU about it. Go "tell her"....without being a 'stalker'.

Jeesh! (hope it all works out for you y'all)

Peace,
M_Y_H

[crim son]

19. Laughing.

A stalker? That would surely make it more interesting!

[Mind_your_head]

21. Well, I hope you can tell your love how you feel.

Nothing wrong with that.

[Brother Buzz]

18. I lost a ton of socks in my lifetime so I started collecting my dryer lint....

and started knitting replacements.

[fizzgig]

1) light blue and yellow knee high argyle sock, cotton

[PBS Poll-435]

Thanks

:eyes:

26. Those are probably all gonna be found in the back seat of Jorge Mahr's car

here in Los Angeles. He keeps finding random unmatched socks piling up behind his driver's seat, and has NO idea where they are coming from..........

[eleny]

27. They're having a meeting under the bed

[Arugula Latte]

28. Your socks were hole-y, so they've been Raptured!

Sock Jesus is afoot in the land!
