Yeah, I DO get the impression that all the Mods are obsessive about their footwear… oh you mean 'cause they’ll think it’s about _socks_not socks.

So next week’s poll about those ugly little plastic dolls shouldn’t be called **Trolls (a poll)**?

There’s something to remember.  
-Rue. (just plain “Rue”)

**sidle** According to his PA (who was standing behind me when i read this thread again at work yesterday) my divisional manager wears those garter thingies.

Doesn’t surprise me really - he also wears braces.

Cotton!

They’re the best.  
I always wear the below the ankle white ones.

I’m with sidle, #4 for Mr. Tupug’s benefit only. Before I moved to Florida, it was mostly pantyhose–a pox on the inventor–and cotton socks with sneakers. There’s something sublimely comfortable in walking about with freshly shaved and lotioned BARE legs.

Whatever’s clean and dry, I change them twice or three times a day or so. I’m guessing most of my socks are cotton although I don’t really know (a lot of my socks are made by columbia if that helps).
