Socks

<HTML>I was just thinking to myself last night about socks. I have had just plain white socks on my mind, yet I figure maybe I should start thinking about bright green socks and maybe the bright green monkies could come and take over the world and rule all over the human race? What is your opinion?</HTML>

<HTML>I did get socks for Christmas. But I also got a quantity of booze, several chocolate-related items AND a great big scanner, complete with slide attachment. So that was alright.

It is well known that bright green socks are the mark of the Devil. Plymouth Argyle wear them.</HTML>

<HTML>If you're on a football team and you wear green socks, surely this should aid your footballing performance? Well, if your socks are green then your feet would be camoflagued and you'd be able to get the ball alot better...

Not sure how this would help the bright green monkeys though. Unless when they put the socks on you wouldn't be able to see that they even had socks on, so they'd sneak onto the pitch and kidnapp David Beckham and convince him to rule the world for them. Maybe.

Personally, I am off the opinion that gold and black socks are belonging to the devil, as they are worn by Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Hope I haven't offended anyone there...

Plock.</HTML>

<HTML>such a grand idea....mismatch socks, then the monkies can come try to steakl a bright green one while a pink is on the other side, they'll get so confuse and we'll have just enough time to lay down the chicken and run. Smart thinking...Sarah B wrote:

<HTML>Eeeek... Jess, you must have had a <i>really</i> bad night... er, and I don't want to worry you but it's spelt "monkeys". No wonder they keep pinching your socks. They're annoyed because you keep misspelling them... lol</HTML>
