In the best tradition of those pointless, never-ending "What Soul/RnB song are you currently listening to?" / "What month were you born?" Spam threads. Go nuts. EDIT/ Incidentally, I'm rocking the dark brown ones today.

I have one grey-black slightly threadbare sock on, and one black with a bobbly-diamond design sock on. I do not know precisely who either one belongs to. (Though I think one is my father's, slyly acquired during a hasty overnight visit to the parents' house.)

All your missing socks have gone to the Smirnoff niteclub.
Have you never seen the ad on TV?

I reached for the rainbow knees socks this morning but somehow I've got boring black ones on.
I wish I had my knee socks... they're nice and warm

Black. I know without looking because I only buy black socks. I had a vision many years ago when I realised that by buying only black socks I would never lose one sock and not have a matching pair.

My favourite pair are two giant hiking socks with marked "left" and "right". I'm not sure why this is relevent other than to stretch this post into two paragraphs.

Mine are black... not actual black.. just layman's black...

And they have a picture of a monkey on them lifting some dumbells and the slogan "Chunky Monkey"

The eyes of the monkey are those plastic buttons that the pupil moves around in...

Usually I wear normal socks.. I just wear these ones when they are clean...

Indeed! And what with all the cold weather of late I can see an advantage of such sock wearing schema.

Yes. Yes I do. I very rarely wear these socks though... just luck that I was wearing them on a "What socks are you wearing day?"

You can see a photo I just took of them here!!!

Today I'm wearing gunmetal grey which is unusual because last year I had an epiphany and bought 3 5 packs of identical socks so that I'd never have to worry about matching socks out of the dryer again.
