True. But then you lose four white socks. Then a black sock. Then another white and black sock. Then another white and black. Then you have to wear mismatched socks.


I think it's fine to lose some white socks as long as we still have the Cubs.

I often wear mismatched or inside-out socks.

Speaking about socks, a little math/probability trivia.

It's good to have just two colors for socks - for example, white and black. So that when you pick 3 socks at random, there's a 100% chance that you will pick 2 of the same color. :P

Man my parents must really want me gone if they keep sending me different job offers to me over Facebook...first it's Chick-fil-A, now it's IMMI over in Westfield...I mean they pay much more than what I'm making now, but I thought my whole thing was to finish summer school first and then find a new job...

So now that Xero's poll thread got closed, will he refund our payments?

Because if he expects me to buy Postmaster for a new puppet each time he wants to do a vote he's off his rocker.

They could be similar, I suppose. They're both creative in the same way a quandong and a cherry are both pieces of fruit.

One is Australian, the other isn't.

$100, plus a ticket for the E3 conference.

In all seriousness, the whole thing feels iffy to me. Like, I couldn't use my own purchase from months ago, even though it was as valid as everyone else's (my first time voting, and I bought for myself).
