The dryer got another one of my socks.

[Mutley]

I just did a small load of laundry last night -- my work pants, work shirts, a pair of undies and a pair of socks.

One of the socks I washed is missing. I've looked Everywhere. Nothin'.

I swear there is a vortex to another universe in there or something. They were my favorites. :(

:shrug:

[xchrom]

1. one of the functions of dryers is to eat things.

they just don't TELL YOU that when you off to buy them!
:grr:

[Mutley]

3. I've figured this out

:(

Stoopid dryer.

[qnr]

2. See, I've always thought that that would be a great subject for a video

game. Track down and obliterate the wierd, multi-dimensional sock eaters.

[Mutley]

4. Good idea!

:bounce:

[ZombieNixon]

36. Yeah, can I steal that?

Since I'm studying to develop video games, that would be a great idea!! :D

[qnr]

38. sure, under the Creative Commons Attribution License! Just kidding, steal

away :)

[Mutley]

40. No, it's mine!

:P

[ZombieNixon]

43. I'll believe you when you code it.

:P

[Mutley]

50. I'll find a way

Watch. :D

[ZombieNixon]

51. Check out "C for Dummies"

:P

(Seriously, that's what I learned from and I'm a fucking badass nowadays :D)

[Mutley]

54. Hey, those "For Dummies" books rock, man.

I trained my dog off of one of those suckers. :7

[Arugula Latte]

5. Maybe it got sucked into the exhaust tube?

Or maybe if you tap its food dish and call out: "Sooooocky, come baaaack! Socky! Here, Socky, Socky, Socky!" it will decide to return.

[Mutley]

7. I tried that already

The food thing. Not the exhaust tube thing. :P

[tjwmason]

6. The dryer is trying to send you a message

That your feet are far too charming and beautiful to be hidden by socks.

[Mutley]

8. Awww.

:hug:

Unfortunately, it's too cold to go barefoot. Brr.

[_testify_]

9. this is going to sound creepy

but she does have lovely feet from the pic i have seen. And I'm not even a foot-guy.

[Mutley]

11. Well, thanks.

:hug:

[u4ic]

10. I think they've been eloping

with mine...:silly:

[Mutley]

12. Bastids!

We should hunt 'em down.

:D

[billyskank]

13. There is a planet where they go

I think it may be the same one where all the ball-point pens go to. :D

[Mutley]

14. That's where my pens have been going?

:grr:


:P

[billyskank]

16. They have been going off to mate with all of mine

and start a new race of biroid life forms. :D

[Mutley]

18. How come my pens get to meet your pens

before I even get to meet you?

:shrug:

:P

[billyskank]

19. That just doesn't seem right, does it?

:hug:

[Mutley]

22. I'm a little jealous.

:P

:hug:

[Crabby Appleton]

31. I've had the same pen for 9 years

and carry it every day to work. I only temporarily lost it once for a few hours.

I buy the same color of socks from the same store so they all match, so it is hard to tell if any are missing.

[Mutley]

39. Well, aren't you all organized 'n' stuff?

:P

[Crabby Appleton]

61. just with pens and socks

[Oeditpus Rex]

15. There oughta be an X-Files

for weird dryer shit.

Or, "America's Most Wanted Socks."

They could put out Argyle Alerts.

[Mutley]

17. Maybe there is an X-Files for that

:yoiks:

[texanwitch]

20. Maybe your sock went to the same place one of my boots went.

I can't find the damn boot and I really need it.

[Mutley]

23. Come to think of it

I'm missing a flip flop. x(

There's got to be one central location for all this stuff.

[texanwitch]

25. Yes and it a big place.

All the shoes and socks having a good time.

[Mutley]

26. My flip flop is having a good time with

your shoe, and my pens are having a good time with billyskank's pens. What about Me? Don't I get to have a good time with anyone?

:cry:

[BrotherBuzz]

21. You need to plan ahead

If you saved all your dryer lint like I do, you simply knit a new one. :shrug:

[Mutley]

24. LOL!

I wouldn't know how to do that, but good idea. :D

[BrotherBuzz]

27. I don't know how to knit either, but I put on my sad puppy eyes....

and get a knitter to do it for me (truth be told knitters are very accommodating people, and easy marks to boot ;)).

[Mutley]

28. The only knitter I know is my mother

and she ain't no easy mark. :rofl:

[hippywife]

29. Did you look

inside your shirts and pants? Static cling and all that, ya know.

You could try safety pinning your socks together in pairs as they go through the laundry.

:hi:

[Mutley]

41. Looked on my clothes, yeah.

But good idea on the safety pin thing. But then I'd just lose both socks. :D

[Doctor_J]

30. Check the sewer grate

many single socks seem to end up there.

[Mutley]

42. I'm not even sure where the sewer grate is.

:crazy:

[valerief]

32. The dryer may be a sock disco but pant legs or shirt arms are

sock motels.

[Mutley]

44. Checked.

No dice.

x(

[grasswire]

33. the place they go....

...is called the "hozone."

[Mutley]

45. The "hozone."

:rofl:

[achtung_circus]

34. I have your sock.

It appeared today in my drier.

[Mutley]

46. Dammit! Can you mail it back to me?

Is it turquoise and grey? :shrug:

[achtung_circus]

57. Sure, but you may not recognise him.

[Katina]

35. I hate when that happens

:mad:

[Mutley]

47. You and me both.

:grr:

[YellowRubberDuckie]

37. Reminds me of a sketch on Mad TV...

Remember when Dot:

...traveled thru the dryer and found her socks in the other universe? That was the most hilarious episode. I loved that character. She was a normal little girl, and her parents just weren't satisfied. It was great, hilarious.
Duckie

[Mutley]

48. I never got into MadTV

Everyone always tells me I should've.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

53. I never really did either...

But they did have a few great characters like Dot and Stuart.
Duckie

[Floogeldy]

49. Hey Einstein: It was the washer . . .

. . . not the dryer. ;)

[Mutley]

52. Nuh-uh.

I made sure they both went into the dryer.

:P

[mduffy31]

55. Family Guy solved this question

The back of your dryer is a portal to get to the land of Narnia, where Mr. Tumnus steals your socks.

[Mutley]

56. Dammit, I missed that one

I need to go talk to Mr. Tumnus. x(

[yy4me]

58. When these mysteries occur there is only one answer.

Blame Clinton.

[Jade Fox]

59. Great Seinfeld routine about this....

Jerry says socks plan it like a prison break. Picture them inching along the wall of the dryer toward the door, just waiting for you to turn your back! "I'm going! Are you with me?"

[lildreamer316]

60. Do you remember the commercial about this with the one-footed aliens??

It was the cutest thing...very funny.

[NV Whino]

62. Back in the days when I had a washer

I found a sock spit out in the sink with the rinse water. Didn't know that could happen.
