There was a mind-blowing episode with the 'Land of Lost Things'.<br /><br />I think I was 11. It all made sense.<br /><br />The place was divided into couch change, remote controls, socks. The mystery of the universe solved for me in one cartoon. Now I feel at peace when the sock is gone.<br /><br />At least it has company.<br /><br />Or else, it's alone and covered in dust and fur under the dryer.

I think your theory totally makes sense. Maybe we should start feeding extra socks to our dryers so they'll leave the socks we actually want alone--kind of like the way pagans would make animal sacrifices to their gods to protect their crops, end droughts, etc...Then, this whole sock problem would no longer exist and we could all frolic in cozy, sock-footed comfort! Brilliant! :)<br /><br />http://candicesstories.blogspot.com/Candicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09845151308757943750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620047070419184730.post-56199722766727768342010-09-17T10:36:03.251-07:002010-09-17T10:36:03.251-07:00I absolutely believe in the Sock Monster.

After so much time on peoples stinky feet I am thinking they figure enough is enough. They don't get a lot of respect anyway... I dont even fold mine, I just throw them into a big pile in a drawer. It wouldn't take long for me to want out of that lousy situation either. <br /><br />SD<br />http://simpledudecomplexworld.blogspot.com/Jon Hansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10248634465295846651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620047070419184730.post-41983134763690612242010-09-17T01:44:42.661-07:002010-09-17T01:44:42.661-07:00I hardly use my dryer so I actually think the wash...I hardly use my dryer so I actually think the washing machine dissolves them and sends them down the drain.
