Why do my sock puppets always speak in a French accent?

[NoClueBoy]

They ALL do! It's so wierd.

Even the argyles.

[Zoe]

I had always assumed that the Argyles spoke with a Scottish brogue. That ezzz sad.

As for moi, je ne parle pas france.

[NoClueBoy]

Eetz juss a see-lee accent-a



I taste metal...

You guys are so weird.



Mais non pouvons faire ce que nous voulons

J'aurais toujours faim de toi

[misstee]

My socks don't talk to me. Am I doing something wrong? Am I not treating them good enough? Should I switch fabric softners?



I *want* my socks to talk to me.

[whatmove]

Take two of these and call me in the morning.

C'est amusant parce que c'est vrai!!!

[saramamalana]

I still don't understand why while taking a final last semester, when reading the questions the voice in my head spoke in a southern accent. I have lived on Long Island my whole life.

...oh and uh....omelet du fromage!

[NoClueBoy]

Miss Tee, you've heard it said that to have a friend, you must be a freind, right?

Well, to get your socks to animatedly engage in social intercourse with you...

Ya gotta learn French! Any French will do. Even an impossibly stereotypical affectation while spewing words and phrases that only marginally sound French.


As always, we're here to hayelp, y'all.

[pravnik]

You're not supposed to have sock puppets here. I'm telling!

[racer72]

Ma marionnette de chaussette a un accent du Texas. Il maintient obtenir dans l'ennui ainsi je le jette dans le cabinet.




thanks to the Google translator!

Je parlais un peux de Francais:

Vous le vouz couchez avec moi?

Y . .

Je voudrais un biere, si'il vous plais.

I had an earlier post with Spanish and German. Seems they got "eaten".

I was very friendly to all my laundry today, having all kinds of intercourse, err I mean, talking to all of my laundry, while folding it. My jammies told me they couldn't wait to get on me.


First thing tomorrow morning, I am going to have a very civil conversation with my bra that sometimes hurts me. If I tell the bra how I feel and listen to it, maybe we can work things out.

Yowza.

How 'bout: Voulez vous coucher avec moi?

It wasn't an actual question, mind you. Just a correction of spelling.

[Call me Frank]

Uh, someone may have said this, but I don't speak French....only English and some German...but......... might your socks not be French? I mean, it makes sense to me. You mentioned argyle socks, but who's to say the French cannot manufacture argyle socks?

I'd like to recount some of my own stories about my socks speaking to me, but offhand, I can't remember a time when they did. Closest thing I can think of are the meaningful glances I've exchanged with my cat.

[emekthian]

Most of my socks speak to me in !Xhosa. The rest speak to me in Proto-Indo European. My socks are wierd.

Woooo . . .

Much obliged. After that, Je voudrais un beire, si'il vous plais.

It's not like I'm going to write it down when I ask a gal that, though. But thanks!

Well, they should all sound the same, shouldn't they? I mean, they're not really sock puppets so much as they're outfits for Balbo, correct?

[Flamsterette_X]

Merde.

Let's stick to English, folks. Besides, the OP said that all of his socks speak in a French accent . . . not the language itself.

My personal socks are mute, but speak American Sign Language quite well.

Heh. I wondered if anyone would put two and two together.

And to Cajun Man: Les jeux sont faits. Translation: the game is up. I t was fun while it lasted.




P.S. Balbo actually does know French. More than I do! You should hear him speaking Spanish in that French accent. Disturbing.

[Zebra]

I think that the reason is that the meds you are on are made by a French pharmaceutical company.



And the dosage is just a little too high.
