COLOR HIS WORLD
Bloggrandson Titan of Titan's lair asks in a recent comment:
"does anyone know where I can find atheltic socks with the colored stripes around the top, I would really like to have some more, the one's I have from middle school are really starting to yellow"
I scoffed as I Google-image searched, but it turns out that I had to go 11 pages deep to find any.
WTF?
Back in the day, ALL athletic socks came with three brightly-colored bands around the calves. Now it seems that unless you're some kind of estrogen-enhanced Christmas fetishist, you'll have to buy solid white and LIKE it.
I haven't felt this old since my nephew asked me "who's Monty Python?".
Yep, stripes were da bomb back in the day. But, you don't have to settle for "white and like it"... Nowadays uncle Harv... they've figured out how to make the entire sock a color other than white.
It's the stripeless thing that you've got to take or take a hike.
Ol' man.... Monty who?
What was it with the 70s? So many stripes: On socks, pinstripes on cars. Uggh. Less is more. Plain whities for me.
Gimme my stripes & get offa my lawn!
Guldurn whippersnappers!
The best part about striped gym socks was when some kid couldn't find two colors that matched.
Such a geek in shorts and two different striped socks...
hehe... I had 2 pairs of those mismatched socks...

I dare you to call me a whippersnapper... *grin*
