The Perfect Number of Socks
gtdjedi | Feb 16 2007
Now that my desk is tamed (mostly) I've turned to taming my socks. Somehow my socks drawer has swollen to nearly 60 pair. After cutting them in half I'm now trying to pick the perfect number. Though a trivial question it really is a microcosm for stripping out the crap....any thoughts? 7 Comments

20 work 10 sports 10 "special" purple, disney, or just polka-dot and just in case (keep these unwraped) +5 work +5 sports Now I don't keep track on how many I got now, but as soon as the sock gnomes get me missing some or I just bust/wear out 1 or more I instantly unwrap a fresh pair. The day I use up the +5 stack I buy a some more. If you are getting ready for ww3 or you just hate to buy socks every 2-4 months get moar then those +5 stacks. P.S. Just don't get all freaky and buy +500, curl them all in balls and sleep in their multicolored glory ^^ » POSTED IN:
