Did you know that...

[Roland Deschain]

Is that a matching pair of strange socks, or two unmatched normal socks, or two unmatched strange socks?

They're from the same packet, so the pattern matches, but the tip of one is orange, and the tip of the other is light green.

Shame you haven't got another foot for red.

No comment.

Either:

1) that's so you'll know which sock to put on which foot (the choice of green=right or green=left is up to you)

or

2) you have accidentally inversed the orange-tip sock, and the thread is colored orange as a flag to let you know to reverse the sock in question.

No, no, no, no, no...  Green is for starboard (right), red is for port (left).


The designers of the red/white convention for audio connectors were blasphemers...

Is it still starboard if you are facing the stern?

I was going for traffic lights but I think Rolly got the wrong end of the stick

Yes, but you have to swap socks...

I don't have a sock large enough to fit comfortably over my head is all. I don't know what everyone else is talking about.

DYKT I recently saw on the pack of a children's game:  Unsuitable for children under three years due to small balls and parts.

[Opsa]

Politicians should probably stay clear of that game, too.

Depends on the party, the more reactionary tent to be quite ballsy...

Did you know that there are several animated film versions of the Titanic disaster including one where the ship is saved by a giant octopus?

Saved?  That's a new twist.
