Originally posted by Grampy BobbyIt was a simple question Bob and I respect your opinion as you know green is a nice color and blue as well, so why not tell me if it suits you? Why would you avoid a question as simple as the color of your socks or mine? This thread could just as easily be about socks as any other could it not? Do you have something you would like to ask of more importance?
In what ways does mentioning green socks and blue slippers relate to things that are on your mind?
Originally posted by cashthetrashWould you approve of my preference for black dress socks, tan with loafers as well as ivory colored woolen athletic socks?
