First

Frank, on the sock situation. I've purchased the same package before. What I do is buy 2 packs- that way you have one bag for the left-footed socks and one bag for the right-footed socks. It really speeds up the process in getting dressed when you don't have to hunt for the correct socks..

you don't preserve your socks, silly. it's a multi-use buy -- you can preserve food in the bag.

..the Ukraine is weak! *Splashes Risk board*

Hey Frank, great idea. Think i'll get some biohazard bags for my jockey shorts.

I think you use the bags to bury your old socks. Or chopped up hippies and monkeys - but I usually just burn them whole.

Ukraine weak!
Zarqawi BAD!

Killing is an important part of a child's balanced education. Why I've been mowing down Nazis and Commies for half a week now that Thanksgiving break has started.
Praise God and pass the ammo.

The lady who was complaining about "killing in order to win" wants there to be games about "voting Democrat in order to win", or "smoking pot in order to win".

Well, she does, the dirty hippy!!!

About them sock bags...

It's a loss-minimizer: ever see how many of those old, "non-ziplocked" bags would just be torn open? With the new ones, the WalMart staff can just pick the socks up off the floor and put them back in the handy, resealable bag!!!

I strongly suspect most of the people who tear open sock bags at WalMart actually voted for Kerry...

I almost spit hot chocolate out my nose three times, just from this one post! Good job! Keep it up!

Resealable sock bags are on the cutting edge of consumer needs in the following possible ways:
a. Aid Wal-Mart customers in that wear for 5 years, reseal and return without the hassle of a receipt process?
b. For those thrify grannies who want to sneak a few pair out of her favorite grandson's Christmas/birthday gift to wrap individually for less popular grandchildren?
or
c. To enable wives like myself to hide better gifts such as an expensive bottle of cologne in the middle making our husbands think we are cheap and hate them until they actually change their smelly socks?

It's a trick - those bags still leak! You should take your socks directly from the hot dryer (with sterile tongs) and put them in a FoodSaver vacuum sealed bag - like I do.

No! You're anal retentive!

Even Chess is a violent sport. I mean sure, it doesn't show any violence (exception being wizard's chess in Harry Potter), but the object is to kill the other person's king, as well as to take out any of the oppenent's pieces that get in the way.

yeah, my socks came in the same bag.. i was like... *rip bag* and my cousin said.. why didnt you just use the seal... i told him its more fun this way :D

Well race-fans, I used think like Frank regarding violence in video games, etc. Then two things happened.

1) I saw a special on the History Channel about Military training and how its changed over the years. In WWI they only used round targets for practice. When the guys got into combat, they were wary of shooting real bullets at real people. In WWII they switched to the now common silhouette targets. No problems in combat since.

2) I had children.

Now, I'm EXTREMELY careful about what games my kids play. I don't want them desensitized to human life. If you spend all of your free time squashing things that "look" like people, then its trivial to start looking at real people as things that just "look" like people.

Anyway, that's just me. You all do what you want ... just use your own money.

There's a sealable plastic bag so you can practice safe socks.

Re: Cingular wireless post>spit take!
"Frank, can you hear me now?
"Very funny, Frank, very funny"

Re-sealable sock bag = Bums and the highly infected can return used socks to Wal-Mart without the messy job of washing them. Happy feet now Frank?
Also:
Ukraine not veak! I havink much love for Ukraine! Baaaahahahahaha!
PS
Gobble, gobble, gobble ;-D

Should they be hugging in order to win?

Yeah! If that's a DEADLY HUG! Mwahaha!

Do we really need the National Institute on Media and the Family to tell us that Rated M games are unsuitable for children. Maybe they can resolve that tabacco controversy, too.

I'm not supposed to release this info,but...
The real problem is not greenhouse gas, it is fresh water. George Bush is singlehandidly and in secret increasing greenhouse gas so as to melt the north pole and have the freshwater come to us.

Of course, this is only while the Earth is tilting in our direction. When it tilts toward Russia, we shut down the gas generators. This is also the real skinny on why Russia has signed the Kyoto...

I always read comments about people spitting coffee all over their screen, and I always wondered if they really did, or if its just a joke.

Well... now I believe them.

"Can you hear me now? Good.... You're Fired!"

*SPRAY!!!*

Buying socks in a bag from WalMart precludes one from ever understanding the matter of the bag.

Oh S O C K S was what was in dim dere resealable gabs. I always get sex and socks confused. "Honey we may have a problem."

"Zarqawi has released a new audiotape. Critics say that, while it will please his fans, it's just more of the same and shows Zarqawi has lmited talent. The drum solos are as good as always, though."

Frank, mate, I am laughing my f*cking a*se off a that!

A (strange, small) part of me wishes that the Islamofascists actually stumble across this, read it, get the joke (after much translation) and laugh for once in their miserable lives.
Then they might experience a tiny glimmer of guilt. Hopefully then they stop beheading folks. Then they give themselves up to the USMC.
*sigh*
I've just come over from Lileks if that explains this strange piece...

Zarqawi has releases a new audiotape. Critics say that, while it will please his fans, it's just more of the same and shows Zarqawi has lmited talent. The drum solos are as good as always, though.

Wow, Frank, have you ever though of comedy writing for Dennis Miller, or someone?

Apparently none of you aware of the section of the Patriot Act known as the Sock Preservation Act.
