Today is Lost Sock Memorial Day!
Nevermind the mysteries of The Bermuda
Triangle, Area 51 or The Mary Celeste, in homage to lost socks everywhere, we
take a moment to honor those fallen friends,
those lost in the Vortex of the Dryer
Monster,
banished to under the bed exile along
with the dust bunnies,
victims of pet kleptomania and hoarded secretly
in bedding,
abandoned and left discarded in
miscellaneous hotel rooms,
chewed, used and abused by four legged
critters and callously dumped when no longer of use,
left stinking in long forgotten gym and
kit bags,
and stolen by devious sock stealing
family members and people with a sock fetish.
On this day, we shall wear our
mismatched orphaned socks with pride. We will remember those that have gone
before and have been led astray never to be seen again.
Oh missing socks you leave your partners
lonely and bereft. Come home all is forgiven.
Do your socks mysteriously disappear never to be seen again? Have you solved the case of those elusive orphaned socks?
I's guilty of sock theft, BOL!
ReplyDeleteHa! When I was working, my co-workers always used to make fun of my socks because they never matched. And they would always notice when they actually did match lol.
ReplyDeleteWe never have a matching pair in our house, Humom said it's only since I came along..What a cheek BOL. Have a super weekend xxoxxxx
ReplyDeleteMollie and Alfie
I never ever seem to have a matching pair

Dear Molly,
ReplyDeleteI swear, I never touch the socks of my humans, but they keep disappearing all the time and only in rare cases we can find them again! (The most of them are victims of my teenager brother and sister, that never never never tidy up their rooms!
Love

Oh Miz Molly, this is a mystery that no peep or pet can solve! I just lost a sock the other day doing laundry, and this quandary welled up in me!!!!!!! Love that cartoon, and your photo!
ReplyDeleteMolly it is one of the great unspoken crimes ...sock theft..but in a weird twist I have had two mystery socks appear...not mine ...not hubbies...so I put their pictures (both different ??? ) on my FB and asked my kids ...appears one belongs to my son who said he has since move on...and one to my daughters boyfriend...so there you have it ..they disappear and then in some case they appear...go figure :0 hugs Fozziemum xx
ReplyDeleteMOL MOL MOL I love that cartoon!!
ReplyDeletewhen socks go missing here mom hangs on to the other one FOREVER. When she tosses it she finds the mate!! Go Figure
Hugs madi your bfff
It just one of those mysteries....never meant to be solved!
ReplyDeletethank goodness pets don't wear socks or there would be even more odd socks around! Socks decorate every room of this house, waiting to be reunited with their partners, we spend a small fortune on socks - there's nothing as nice as a drawer full of matching socks, all partnered up - it only happens at Christmas though when everyone gets them as gifts!
ReplyDeleteMom is always complaining about lost socks....I think Niles is a big stealer of them....just sayin.

Worm holes in space - socks slip though them never to be seen again !
ReplyDeleteSnorts. All socks that come out unmatched, go straight to my dismantle pile in my bedroom. Shrugs shoulders - what can I say. It gives this little oinker entertainment for a bit. Snorts. XOXO - Bacon
ReplyDeleteThe mystery of the missing socks. Its a question that may never be answered!

Love the dryer cartoon. That's our theory.
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm, I may have taken a sock or two!
ReplyDeletehilarious!
ReplyDeletemy husband's latest trip had him taking along one missing sock of mine and a pair of running shorts, too. :)
Oh Molly those look very nice on your head! Don't you let anyone tell you any different.
ReplyDeletestella rose
I love the dryer cartoon too! But we don't have socks go lost around here because I hardly ever wear them...I think I own, maybe 3-4 pair? But that IS a mystery....
ReplyDeleteMom is convinced our washing machine eats all the socks. She has given up of the disappering ones. Sniff and wags from Laika and Vaks.
ReplyDeletePretty soon mom will give up and wear 2 different ones
ReplyDeleteLily & Edward
I always blame it on the washer, sadly sometimes the evidence is visible in my recycled food. Have a fabulous sock-memorial friday, dear Molly!
ReplyDeleteDad's socks all look the same so we can't tell if any come up missing. If any of mom's are missing it is usually cause she missed the laundry basket and it is in some dark corner of the closet!
ReplyDeletehugs
Mr Bailey, Hazel & Greta
We didn't see NO STINKIN' SOCKS... BaaaaWaaaah.
ReplyDeleteAww the poor socks, that little cartoon breaks my heart! haha :-) I had no idea there was a lost sock memorial day, it is a lovely idea though! Wishing you a happy weekend
ReplyDeleteWe believe they were stolen by zombies. As everyone knows zombies hate to have cold feet.
ReplyDeleteyes they do!! Sometimes they are never found. And good socks are hard to come by these days. I wish you had an answer to the mystery Molly.
ReplyDeleteLOL happy Sock Memorial day. I do loose them too!
ReplyDeleteHi, Isn't it amazing that those socks go traveling and not tell us. Yesterday when we moved some bedding to the new house, I found a granddaughters lost sock from six months ago. Hopefully this house will not allow the socks to leave.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend and Happy Mother's Day!
Noreen & Hunter
Daisy used to bury ONE sock of any pair she came across as a puppy. Even years later when gardening, a sock would be dug up...BOL!
ReplyDeleteLove your socks. Looks like your enjoying some Reggae.
XXXOOO Bella & Roxy
UGH! I have more mismatch socks then I do actual pairs anymore I swear!!!!!
ReplyDeleteღ husky hugz ღ frum our pack at Love is being owned by a husky!
Don't tell my wife U said this, but when she does laundty, we always lose socks, when I do, we don't...
ReplyDeleteYou mean socks are suppose to match? We never see matching ones around here. Maybe that's why mama grumbles so much when she's doing the laundry.
ReplyDeleteWe swear we didn't take them. MOL!
