Neko | Wednesday, July 10, 2002 - 06:42 am     Yeah!! Ed the Sock rocks!! He's mean though.. I made the milkcarton in Paint. |
Mssilhouette | Wednesday, July 10, 2002 - 10:05 am     I suggest you put up some police tape around the sock and a taped outline. With a poster: SOCK ABANONDED - POLICE SEEKING WITNESSES FOR QUESTIONING! Or maybe a series of sign like they used to do. "This way to the greatest sight even seen by man!" with arrows pointing. "Amazing and rare creature captured..This way!" "Not far now..just a bit farther to the most incrediable sight in the world!" LOL Then have some christmas lights around the sock flashing. A spotlight! Of course this is after it's sat there for a month. |
Abbynormal | Wednesday, July 10, 2002 - 10:45 am     Seriously, I think "they" are going to win. At first the longer it laid there, I felt kind of an astonishment. Then it went to disgust. Now I am starting to get p*ssed. I'm starting to take it out on the sock. I make sure everytime I pass it I give it a good kick. At this rate the poor thing will be worn out from abuse before a month is up! |
Car54 | Wednesday, July 10, 2002 - 11:37 am     Abby, we really need you to get a webcam. That way when the front door cam is on, we can switch over and watch people step over the sock. |
Meme9 | Wednesday, July 10, 2002 - 11:45 am     The web cam is such a good idea to replace the FD!!! LOL |
Wargod | Wednesday, July 10, 2002 - 11:49 am     Abby, just think......you're doing this experiment for all of the homemakers here (whether its men or women who do the picking up doesn't really matter!) Stay strong...I'm sure they will notice sooner or later (yeah, I know, I know.) You know what's really funny....the socks been there 12 days....but I bet if you went 12 days without cooking or doing laundry SOMEONE would notice! |
Babyruth | Wednesday, July 10, 2002 - 01:23 pm     Sock In The Hall = SITH view instead of FOTH view I LOVE IT!!!  |
Car54 | Wednesday, July 10, 2002 - 01:34 pm     Abby, if you did it, I bet we could get your whole family on Letterman as that crazy mom who had the Sock Cam on the internet! |
Egbok | Thursday, July 11, 2002 - 05:20 am     I've just read this whole thread and tears are rolling down my face with all the laughing!! Abby, I've got two teenage kidlet sons and believe me, Abe The Sock will stay in the general area until hell freezes over!! I truly believe that my kidlets believe that the sock, being a sock, will make it's way up the stairs and into their room, then magically leap into their sock drawer!! Please put some infant socks next to Abe and let us know what happens next!! LOL!! |
Jkm | Thursday, July 11, 2002 - 07:03 am     I can so sympathize with you!!! We are on year two of the toilet paper roll sitting on the counter instead of on the hanger on the wall. (Right next to the toilet!! -- counter is further away) -- AND NOBODY CARES BUT ME!!!! I went on strike and nobody noticed. sigh! You have my full support! I love the baby sock idea!! mom |
Wargod | Thursday, July 11, 2002 - 09:22 am     JKM, besides leaving an empty milk or juice carton in the fridge, the toliet paper thing is my biggest pet peeve! I can not understand why grown people can not replace the empty roll! Abby, you know we're all rooting for you! |
Abbynormal | Thursday, July 11, 2002 - 10:14 am     Sock Update Day 12 Of course it's still there! You knew it would be. It has now been moved to a spot right in front of the bathroom door. Maybe it will get kicked into the bathroom when someone goes in there. BUT, I bet it will get kicked right back out because there is no tp in there. (I checked) This means instead of looking in the cabinet for some more, they will go into my bathroom and steal my tp. This of course is so easy to do since my tp would be sitting on the COUNTER instead of the roll thingy!!! hahahahahaha  |
Rabbit | Thursday, July 11, 2002 - 10:20 am     No TP, a defenseless sock just laying there. Oh Oh!!  |
Kaili | Thursday, July 11, 2002 - 10:23 am     Mine also sits on the counter until it's about halfway gone, then I finally get around to putting it on. It's such a minor thing to do but I hate doing it. And I hate filling the ice cube tray for some odd reason. But the socks, they go to their little home in the basket. I like the baby sock idea, but I don't know if anyone would notice taht either. I think this Missing signs and the milk carton would be good though. Or just slowly start collecting everyones socks (or those of whoever it belongs to)until they have none left except the one in the hallway. |
Juju2bigdog | Thursday, July 11, 2002 - 10:23 am     I am not subscribing to live feeds this year because sock cam is more interesting. Yay sock!
 |
Wargod | Thursday, July 11, 2002 - 10:25 am     LOL, I like the idea of collecting all the socks until Abe is the only one left.......bet someone would find him then! |
Gail | Thursday, July 11, 2002 - 03:42 pm     Maybe what you could do is when you do laundry (I am assuming that falls to you?) See if you can figure out who Abe belongs to and when you fold the clothes, make it really OBVIOUS that there is a missing sock by having all the pairs folded and one poor lone sock without a mate. Maybe someone will notice that they have a missing sock? |
Firebird05 | Thursday, July 11, 2002 - 04:17 pm     LOL Abby. I love your sock experiment. In my house Spain would indeed freeze over before someone else picked it up. I am predicting that if you leave it there it will be picked up when your first grandchild crawls across the floor, picks it up and puts it in their mouth. |
Seamonkey | Thursday, July 11, 2002 - 09:23 pm     Juju!!!!! Sock Alert!! A Sock was seen streaking across the image on Cam 4 on BB at 4:44am!! I think it may have been Al. So he's been prowling about the country in the wee hours, only to return to Abby's hall before dawn |
Juju2bigdog | Thursday, July 11, 2002 - 09:56 pm     Rats! And I was about to download live feeds. Well, obviously I can't leave here if things are heating up. Sigh.
 |
Abbynormal | Thursday, July 11, 2002 - 10:27 pm     Nuh uh, Seamonkey! Abe is right where he was this afternoon, except he has got comfy and straightened himself all out. Obviously he is a back sleeper! |
Mssilhouette | Thursday, July 11, 2002 - 10:52 pm     Maybe the sock is sending out hypovibes that effect everyone in Abby's household cept her. Being at home all the time as made her immue to Abe the Sock's influence. Normally she would toss him back with his comrades but this time, due to much mutual sock hypno whammy, she had decided to ignore Abe. Abe has been consipiring with the other socks for a mass revolt BUT he got lost in the hall...if he can keep the family from noticing him, he might make it outside and finally to freedom. Sweateus Lintus Sockus(aka Abe) - The Cotton who Became a Thread...The Thread who Became a Sock...The Sock who became a Hero! "I will have my revenge...in this wash or the next!" |
Wink | Friday, July 12, 2002 - 04:47 am     Abe's Canadian cousin has presently taken up residence on the floor in front of my dryer. He's been there 2 days and seems to be enjoying himself so far. I'm going away this morning for a couple of days and I will be eagerly waiting to see if he is still there upon my return. |
Neko | Friday, July 12, 2002 - 07:56 am     Abe's and ?? What's this guys name Wink?? |
Moondance | Friday, July 12, 2002 - 08:07 am     Let's call him Lincoln |
