My Fun Socks

Happy Sock Faces
I was tempted to even buy some.
But the faces were on the feet.
So you couldn't see them around the ankle when you wear them.
If you wear the socks without shoes then you can see the cartoon faces.
However, then you also wear out these fun socks
I'm in for fun socks.
Just have to get the faces in the right places. ;-)

My New Sneaks
I loved them in the store.
My stylish and lovely daughter helped me pick them out.
Nike bright orange--cool, fashionable.
"Just do it!"
But when I tried them on, I didn't have socks, and had to use the ridiculous thin ones in the store.
The sneakers were snug and I asked for a larger size, which they were out of.
I took the sneakers anyway, hoping they would be okay when I got home, but disappointingly, they were way too tight.
And "the give" that the saleslady said would happen with the sneakers, absolutely didn't.
My foot was being crushed in there.
I think Nike's run small.
Like the look, but not the sizing.
Anyway, saw three people playing soccer in these (or something close to it) the same day.
Orange is the new black. ;-)

Dumb Socks
Well, this is what you get to try-on shoes.
These absolutely crappy, thin, brownish wades of disposable nylon socks.
How completely unappealing--especially piled up like this and looking like they are getting reused again and again.
The try-on socks look shitty, feel shitty, and don't help you try-on anything, because they aren't the same density or texture as regular socks.
Talk about penny wise and dollar foolish--if the store won't even invest in a proper pair of socks for their customers, then how much do they value their business?
How about an intelligent shoe store with a little class that actually has some real pairs of socks for their customers, and when you're done they send them out to the cleaners or maybe even let you keep the pair if you buy the shoes! ;-)

My Happy Socks Friday

Wardrobe Malfunction Or Stylish
It's not often in Washington, D.C. that we get to see someone in a bright blue suit jacket with flowers.
Obviously, this is a pretty conservative dress town.
Some might call it rather style boring or even nerdy.
However, this brave guy went out on a limb and stood out like a sore DC thumbnail.
Actually, I believe it's nice to add some color, flair, and style and light up the room and the faces.
Too much gloominess and depression here at times.
I was so excited when someone actually called me "Happy Tie!"
Then everyone took a turn showing off their colorful socks to each other.
It takes so little to turn a room of people joyful and laughing.
Honestly, we need more of this, and why not be a contributor to people's happiness and smiling?

Sushi Socks Dating
Roll them up and package them like a sushi roll.
Socks are the colors and textures of various fish.
Not sure why anyone would want socks that mimic sushi...
Unless of course, you feet stink like raw fish!
My wife knows this true story about this one girl that I dated before I met her, and she came over to my parents house and was waiting for me.
When I got there, she was sitting on the couch and her shoes were off.
It was after a long day at work apparently, and her feet smelled worse than any fish I could imagine.
Literally, I think I could've passed out right there on the floor.
Date was over and quick, and I never forget those sushi feet. ;-)

Superman Leadership
This guy's socks were very cool.
If you can say that socks make the man then perhaps this is it.
Superman that is!
No special shirt, underwear, or cape required--the socks communicate it all.
For the man of steel or one in the making (if worn at workout time).
Then again, I was trying to imagine someone actually having the guts or nuttiness to wear these to the office.
If they would, it probably be with the following in mind:
I can do anything helpful to get the job done--
1) Rolling out cutting-edge systems and business process improvements faster than a speeding bullet
2) Creating positive change more powerful than a locomotive
3) Able to leap with integrity over organizational obstacles, red tape, and naysayers in a single bound
It's a change consultant. It's a corner office bureaucrat. It's a "superleader!"
Up up and away...it can be done (even without the socks). ;-)

Toe Shoes - Little Piggy
This person is wearing these huge toe shoes and mismatched socks.
Have you ever tried on toe shoes?
It's not like putting on a pair of gloves.
Try lining up and getting each of your toes into these snug shoes.
More trouble than it's worth in terms of looking interesting, different.
Which toe should we start with: "This little piggy went to market. This little piggy stayed home..."
Maybe the only reason to wear these is if you actually want someone to step on your toes--now it's all too toe transparent. ;-)

Best Frog Slippers
They are also uncomfortable.
Someone I know refuses to replace their old slippers and they have an unsightly hole at the big toe--name withheld to protect the guilty. ;-)
And I have a old pair of Kung Fu slippers that look mean and are good for building calluses, but otherwise not so good.
However, these frog slipper that my daughter got are great!
They are actually more like sock-slippers, but they win #1 in my book.
Who wouldn't walk a mile in these and still be smiling?
