Socks

Darli · January 27, 2014, 9:46am

Less than a month ago, it was Christmas.

I am in my mid 30's, so if I get anything for Christmas it tends to be utilitarian.

Last week, I had to buy some socks.

I feel completely let down. Less than a month after Christmas, I had to buy socks. It's an outrage.

The world has gone to ****
bet you got bunnings vouchers instead

Someone got me a Bunnings voucher for Christmas, they'd be getting a friggin' iron for their birthday.

Bunnings is the complete shopping experience ......they even have irons ;)

I'd rather the cash so I could pay someone to use the the tools from Bunnings so I didn't have to.

Bunnings is to tools what KMart is to clothes

Keep you coming back for more because they try not to stock anything that’ll last.

"Fuller than a fat girls sock"

Before somebody takes offence post Orstraya Day. Kind of diminishes the effort though.

So are they just black socks with one red hoop?

I'll start the facebook campaign.

Sockgate

An article coming up in The Age by McKenzie and Baker discussing the sock-dungeon across the road from the new HPC and what was going on in Mexico. Caroline is demanding to know what was in the fridge.

I think benfti is more interested in Sackgate.

(Although I am left wondering why the players have the AFL logo on their genitalia)

And for those who like to interpret these things: leadership order is Watson, Stanton, Myers, Goddard, Winders, and Heppell. BUT then Chapman is an unstated member ahead of Hocking!
