Moondance | Friday, July 12, 2002 - 08:26 am     >Hey..that's not Canadian!< Shhhhhhhhhhhh |
Webkitty | Friday, July 12, 2002 - 08:28 am     Neko!!!! I was just going to say that!! (great kitty minds think alike ) PEE-AIR!!!!!!!! |
Wapland | Friday, July 12, 2002 - 01:17 pm     neko how very uncanadian of you!!!!!And who says the cousin is male? I sorta like the name barbara....cousin barbara from Canada....btw you can sex a sock by checking the colour and the material....post a pic and I'll help you with the first one. |
Urgrace | Friday, July 12, 2002 - 01:52 pm     Just spent quite a while reading this entire thread and giggling, although I understand the dilemna completely. So where is the picture you took of the sock on day 11? Have you decided to snap a shot of the sock each day to add to the record? The sock has been on several 'trips' already, and I wouldn't want you to lose sight of Abe. How will you know who picked him up, if he ever gets picked up? Don't give him a cell phone! He might call his cousin at Wink's. Maybe this is really Abe's experiment on the human world. He seems to be lying around in complete comfort while all chaos roams through the corridor. Don't give him a baby sock. He might not be a very good parent to the baby sock if he can't even take care of himself! |
Earthkitten | Friday, July 12, 2002 - 03:08 pm     I am so glad I found you guys. This is hilarious! I am new to this board, but not a "newbie" if ya know what I mean! I love the sock experiment! |
Car54 | Friday, July 12, 2002 - 03:30 pm     OMG, Gracie! if he had a cell phone, he could call Tess and she could report his location in the Road Trips thread! |
Seamonkey | Friday, July 12, 2002 - 03:59 pm     I think Abe needs a tiny sockmonkey. |
Juju2bigdog | Friday, July 12, 2002 - 05:33 pm     Yeah! Sockphone! Like the Butterphone and the Tessphone. Abe could e-mail those of us manning the home fires! |

Babyruth | Friday, July 12, 2002 - 06:11 pm     or did you say SPOCKmonkey?
hehehehehehehe |
Tntitanfan | Friday, July 12, 2002 - 06:27 pm     Just found this thread today, Abby. Only you!! Do you think you could get something to grow on Abe? Or appear to be growing? Lichen or moss? I really think that might attract the eye - Or have you considered changing colors each week? That should at least stimulate curiosity! |
Twiggyish | Friday, July 12, 2002 - 06:38 pm     I'm waiting anxiously for the next update. =) sock it them Abby! |
Gail | Friday, July 12, 2002 - 06:45 pm     Abby, have you ever considered that maybe everyone in your family thinks that YOU dropped that sock and they are watching and wondering when YOU are going to pick it up? I mean, is is possible that they are posting somewhere on the internet about how you have let some poor little sock lay on the floor for 2 weeks and wondering what in the spain is wrong with you? You just never know . . . |
Donut | Friday, July 12, 2002 - 08:00 pm     babyruth, you are too funny! and yeah, abby, what gail said. Is it possible YOU dropped it and forgot?? i knew someone who told me when he was a little kid he noticed the contents of someones lunch on the ground, and he started pointing at it and laughing and noticed the kids on the bus were thinking it was funny so he started stomping all over the sandwich etc, jumping up and down, reveling in the laughter and finger pointing that he was eliciting from the kids on the bus, and feeling really cool and powerful for the first time........... and then he looked down at his hand , and noticed his empty lunch box hanging open..... so better check your sock draw and make sure karma doesnt bite you in the butt! just kiddin of course, we know your are no slouch(sock).... why dont you add one sock to the pile everyday until no one can get by, and no one has socks better yet, steal everyones socks and leave each only one gray sock, and see if anyone takes Abe to make themselves a pair..... |
Donut | Friday, July 12, 2002 - 08:14 pm     oops i shoulda read better, that idea was already suggested! Eventually if you get bored with this, after a few months, pick up the sock and ask if anyone saw it and tell them that you were part of a TV contest and that there was 5000 dollars in the sock and since no one picked it up, they all lost and the sock was returned to CBS to do a cameo on the Ed the sock show. Then they can live for a while with their deep disappointment. and then maybe they will think next time about leaving anything lying around.... oh wait, they will just stick their hand into whatever is lying around and leave it there if its empty.... |
Neko | Friday, July 12, 2002 - 08:37 pm     Ppppft!! Uncanadian-like!!!??? I'm as Canadian as they come!! LoL I think Pierre..Since you guys are going with an old President, I was thinking we'd go for an old Prime Minister! And if it is a girl, who knows!! Alexa?? |
Juju2bigdog | Friday, July 12, 2002 - 08:39 pm     Donut, excellent idea!!! And then Abbynormal can reveal the sockcam to convince them she is telling the truth! Babyruth, those pics are a scream.

Urgrace | Friday, July 12, 2002 - 11:32 pm     Abby, can you post the picture you took here in the thread? OOOOhh that's an idea... can you tack the picture you took on the hall wall? Then keep adding a new picture each day until someone notices. They probably won't notice the sock in the picture but will wonder why you took a picture of the hall! LOL |
Tess | Friday, July 12, 2002 - 11:46 pm     Abe's getting a little phone? Well alrighty then. Let's track his progress down that hallway. BR, loved your pics. |
Abbynormal | Saturday, July 13, 2002 - 01:10 am     Day 15 Abe the sock has moved yet again. He is now about a foot away from where he was yesterday. He is a restless sock. Always on the move. He may be taking those midnight forays as he has tracked a leaf into the house. It must be his, because it is lying right beside him. Surely no one else would do this, right? Actual photo of Abe the traveling sock coming soon... |
Mssilhouette | Saturday, July 13, 2002 - 06:56 am     Ahhh Abe the romantic. Abe and Leafalla, star crossed lovers. Now I see what's really going on. He was escaping to rescue his love. Leafalla, so when Abe was on a foot he saw Leafalla high up in a tree...he thought she was out of his league, being well alive and all. And he just being a lowly, piece of clothing for humans. But one night during his revolt talks and practice of hypno whammies, he was able to get her attention. Maybe it was his outdoor fresh scent that threw her off, or his touchable softness, well whatever it may have been. She fell for him but they were kept apart by a big barrier..the door. So Abe hatched a plan! Using his hypno whammy again he ordered one of the human inhabitants to gently step on Leafalla and bring her to his current resting spot, where they could finally meet and their love would be expressed. Joy oh joy, the plan worked!! Now Lefalla and Abe are together and what socks have put together let no vaccuum tear assunder. |
Wapland | Saturday, July 13, 2002 - 02:47 pm     ROTFLMAO This group of people are completely insane. I race to the computer now to see what is happening with Abe (ok maybe I am the insane one)only to find out that all along his heart belonged to leafalla...and wait a minute is that a little dustball snuggling up to both of them? Families come in all shapes and forms nowadays. Abe was not forgotten, dropped or left....he is a squatter creating a new home. |
Webkitty | Saturday, July 13, 2002 - 02:53 pm     Yipeeeee!!! We are getting an actual picture of Abe, the wayward sock! Babyruth, your pics were priceless! ~made my day~ |
