Title: [IC] Socks
Post by: Puddsy on Fri, 17 January 2014, 17:35:29: Do you have feet? Do you wear shoes? Well this is the IC for you!

I might not be able to run it, because high school. The topic came up in IRC, after I mentioned my favorite pair of socks got ruined after my power strip exploded.

Where would we source the socks? What would they be made of? What color(s)?

They are warm, dry quickly, and durable.

Something like:

Woolen socks are to cotton ones what Mechanical switches are to rubber dome

Post by: digi on Fri, 17 January 2014, 17:46:01: I wear socks made of toilet paper. That way, if I'm in the woods and need to handle my man-business, worst case scenario I just come home with one sock.

Sadly I have had to use regular socks for toilet paper.... it was not an enjoyable experience, but it was better than the alternative.

Post by: dragonxx21 on Fri, 17 January 2014, 18:35:41: I'd have to go with 100% cotton as well, wool socks are terrible and I have tried various pairs just to completely hate each and every one.

+1 ^ for this.

I am in for one sock. I don't need two, since I don't have feet. But I'm embarrassed to say I need a magnum sock, extra wide and extra long.
