After hearing that some manufacturers print their names across the bottom of socks for a bit of free advertising, I thought what a cute idea it might be to start a range of mix'n'match word socks, which can be read in different ways depending on which feet they're on, eg;
|I Love| |My Dog|
|It's
You| |I Love|
|My Dog| |It Stinks|
|It Stinks| |It's You|
etc
Could end up with some interesting combinations if you're getting dressed in a hurry!
Or for the customer focused executive;
|Your need| |Is my Primary Concern|
|A Sound Investment| |Is My Primary Concern|
etc
Just be sure not to mix them with your weekend socks;
|Your Need| |It Stinks|
|My Dog| |Is My Primary Concern|
Put your feet up and express yourself!
Jesus A Sound Investment

Somehow I thought the title was going to be Magnetic Fridge Poetry Socks, but whatever. + |
|
| |
[+] -- I'm all about this idea ... perhapse I can finally get some socks to appease 'ol [buddha_pest] <snicker> |
|
| |
Aww nuts, I missed perhaps again ... I guess I'll take 4 or 5 pair ... |
|
| |
thought sox was USian - just being POlite! |
|
| |
If your dog wore them, he would have an even wider range of expression, such as: |
|
| |
[I love] [My owner]
[Very much][I stink] |
|
| |
Before you went into the description very far I thought that the socks would be matched by making the phrases make sence. Sort of like a quiz, on your socks. And you could tell how smart a person was by looking at the sides of there socks. But it still is a good idea. You scored a + bravo. |
|
| |
I'm only wearing one sock and it says "run away". |
|
| |
|If you can read this| |I'm standing too close| |

|trick or treat| |smell my feet| |

Can't believe nobody said that yet. |

For Christmas: |Dinner was messy, I have to do dishes| |Here are your fucking holiday wishes| |
|
| |
I was about to suggest Word Underwear, but I think this exists already. on both cheeks: |wide| |load|
Such potential here. Expand the smart-ass t-shirt phenomenon to everything...it's...Wordwear! |
|
| |
I'd prefer Letter Shoes for spontaneous, random words. When you're standing in line one day, you might just read: |
|
| |
....or something equallly as exciting! |
|
| |
\c/\r/ \o/\i/ \s/\s/ \a/\n/ \t/ |
|
| |
After a bit of Wearin' and Tearin': |
|
| |
Ask, and thou shalt receive. (Linky) |
|
| |
Make sure to use the same letter case throughout. + |
|
| |
I love this idea! I usually don't wear socks (because rarely wear shoes that require socks- actually, I rarely wear real shoes) but this would be a nice excuse to start wearing socks. |
|
| |
I absolutely love this idea. but soending even 5 seconds thinking of a combination for the day may be a bit too taxing for my little mind! + |
|
| |
And the shirt that reads: if you can read my socks I must be doing at LEAST 130mph |
|
| |
RT, yeah, just be careful on polished floors. |
|
| |
I'm wondering why they have one that says "Washable". Oh wait, is that not a comma? |
|
| |
I don't think the link bakes these, Burns, as the heart of the idea lies in the combinations one gets on the footbottoms when mixing up the socks. |
|
| |
But think of the hilarity of wearing the wrong flip-flop to church!
