    I don't think there's anything to worry hair there love, we don't have so many rules and regulations!

    If we set it for April Fools Day maybe, so we would all aim to have it reach the agency by April 1? That would make it extra funny?!

    That is kinda funny, you chose the perfect nickname! 

    I agree, you are really crazy. And I start to wonder: Do you want to surprise or attack him? (drowning in socks.... LOL).

    Thanks Matt.  What kind of socks do you guys prefer to wear anyway? It's really hot where I come from so the socks are usually really thin.

    Hm... cotton. Thin wool. Those "neon" are about 100% "plastic", so a no-go I would say.

    Amazing. And now Benedict will need a sock index, too. You could also write a fic for him: The Curious Case of the Coloured Socks.

    The best is: now I can buy some colourful socks for myself! I'm a real bigfoot, you know.

    OddSocks are great, I've got a pair (consisting of three...) myself... the black-and-white ones on the right in my pic, to be precise.

    Mattlocked... you're a new member of our Collective, right?

    You probably won't believe this now, but: I own those
    They're in the washing machine right this moment, or I would have taken a pic... but later.
