Here's something weird that I randomly remembered today: the name of my childhood teddy bear.

Fokken weird. I got no explanation for it. Like sometimes names will come from something a kid can't pronounce right - like Jenny's family called her Tinny because her brother had a speech impediment when he was little and that's all he could say - and it caught on.

Can't imagine what this teddy bear name could have been shooting for, if that's what's going on.

I don't actually even know how to spell it. I can only express it phonetically.

NOO-noose. Was my teddy bear's name.

NOO-noose.

I ordered this in the morning

Now I just got an email saying it's been cancelled. Da faq?

 

[fiveteamer]

That's probably overkill for my small apartment anyway.

Getting accurate time. Now our smartphones are calibrated to somewhat-accurate network time. Check with your friends - all of you will be within a handful of seconds of each other.

Matty, what time you got?



Setup x 2. Have at it.

I have synchronized. Ty.

I still miss the idea of the time lady.

One of our suppliers sent us a fruit basket thingy today and one thing in it was little hunks of chocolate covered apple on a stick.

Damn it was pretty good.

I don't think I had ever had that before. Chocolate covered apple. It actually took me a few bites to even identify what I was eating. I knew it was good but I wasn't sure what.

Only point being: it's amazing how many things chocolate goes with.

A few words about ankly socks.

Last Christmas, I used a gift certificate to buy, among other things, a bag of socks. I did not realize it at the time, but they were ankly socks.

Now I had never had ankly socks before and I was pretty much facepalming myself for buying these ridiculous wrong socks that were so low to the ankle. Someone even said at the time (Reno ?) that I should just throw in the towel because I would soon see just how wrong those ankly socks are.

Well a year later, I'm here to tell you: I'm ankly socks and nothing but.

 

[reno cool]

hmm, probably was me. So these are the socks that are very low cut right? Mine were slipping off the heel and bunching under my foot.

 

[Mudcat]

Yeah the top is just above the ankle bone. I have not experienced any slippage despite my many miles of walking every day so I don't know what is going on with you and your Eastern European descended ankles.

My sock-life is nothing but sweet over here.

 

[mrquincy]

I have ankly socks for the winter and non-ankly socks for the long john weather.... ankly socks and long underwear do not mix.

 

[MrX]

I sure hate the feel of ankly socks. No slippage, it just feels all wrong.

 

[Mudcat]

Well I'm here to tell you - it is possible to go from that mindset to full-time, dedicated ankly socks immersion. Such has been my journey.

 

[reno cool]

I'm not sure if the ones I had even covered the ankle bone

 

[Matty]

Are we talking no-shows or socks that barely cover the ankle?

The no-shows do tend to come down and bunch up under my arches.

Still better than going sockless though. I stink something fierce after 30 minutes of sockless action.

Glad we're having this talk.
