@docflash Dunno. On the listing i saw, “delivery” was available, but not “shipping”. Guess for clearance they are just local items. Was in my local club today when i spotted the sale, so just picked them up myself. They had plenty on the shelves at the time.
Be sure to stock up on TP! (IDK what’s happening, but odds were about 9 of 10 carts i saw had either TP or paper towels or cases of water. We had some localized flooding, but that’s supposed to be over, for now.)
@phendrick@Vee19 If we were still closer to Jan 1 and the New Year’s Resolutions, I would’ve said the run on TP was for all the cleanses/detoxes that people vowed to do at the top of the year. But quitter’s day has already come and gone, so the need for TP for such purposes has passed as well!
@phendrick Agree on the Gerber knives! I’ve carried multiple sizes of the Paraframe for years as an EDC as well. Good quality, durable, and nice size and weight for an EDC. Highly recommend! Especially for the price.
@Star2236 truly. I bought these a couple times ago and there are good socks, but just plain too big for my women’s 10 feet. We like whimsical sticks, too, damn it. And there don’t all need to be pastel. Oh, well. Meh button it is
@Star2236@Vee19 This is one of the few times that my size 13 feet get the “win”. I can wear these easily, and they don’t automatically translate to “guy socks”.
@Star2236@Vee19 Agreed, especially about the pastel bit. I was as Aldi earlier today. They had fun socks. The men’s options had dinosaurs and space ships and bold colored stripes. The women’s had smiling cupcakes and pastel colored stripes. Which is fine if you likes those. But I am a woman with woman’s sized feet who likes spaceships and dinosaurs and bold colors. Where are the socks for me?
@gt0163c@Vee19
When I was little I used to argue with my mom about putting on my underwear all the time bc little girls underwear in the 80’s was so boring. It was just pink flowers, where as boys were cool bc they had all the cartoon/comic characters. So she finally bought me boys underwear and I was happy.
@ronnyd I’m still riding the high from the quote… I read it amps to my wife again and she says “yeah, and they’re laughing their asses off saying ‘ who is this guy? Who’s so excited about socks??’ “ I am, Ms. Ronnyd, I AM.
In for some burger & tacos. These socks are all I wear, after 40 years of boring black Gold Toes. When I wear socks at all, that is, which in Floriduh is only about 40 days a year…
I bought these when they were last up, and I generally like them, but when I took off one pair the first time I wore them, my thumb went right through the heel of the sock somehow, so they’re not super-durable.
@mattig88@zachdecker And the big lithium battery packs that the manufacturer disavowed, and the not-expired-but-hard-to-unwrap candy, and the steam cleaners that even had the staff going “WTF?! REALLY?”.
I love Unsimply Stitched socks… That said, I have so many socks that I now have TWO (large) sock drawers (people always buy me socks as presents because once upon a time I didn’t have enough socks and even though I now have far too many… people keep buying me more socks because they think it’s funny to do so, it’s become a joke).
So, if I didn’t already have enough socks to last through the *apocalypse, I would buy these.
I’m assuming washing machines stop working in the apocalypse, so I have no means to wash socks.

So you don’t know how to wash things by hand? In the stream? Using a rock? My daughter (from Cambodia) could give you some lessons about that. For her a washboard was high tech in her early years.
@Kidsandliz I’m sure I could do that, but I’m also sure my time would be better spent doing other things during the apocalypse than washing badger print socks in a stream.
@Kidsandliz@OnionSoup Socks stretch out while you wear them, so although I’m not averse to hand-washing socks, I would miss being able to tighten them back up in the dryer.
Got the email blast, and saw “Octopus” and immediately came back here to make sure they weren’t selling octopus socks again. Come on Meh, don’t tease me like that.
I ordered these socks in an earlier offering. They are great. However, I love the type that cover the entire calf. Do you ever run across long dreas socks? Also compression would be a HUGE bonus.
/showme washing socks on a washboard in the stream during the sock apocalypse with Stay-Puft in the background wrestling with a breakfast octopus… And whatever you do, don’t put pieces of toast in the picture
I regret to inform you I did the math wrong in the recent email.
We have sold 87,268 pairs of socks, as I stated. However, as that is 174,536 individual socks, that would be enough for 21,817 octopuses, not merely the 10,908 referenced.
I apologize for the grievous error and hope it has not negatively affected your shopping experience.
My husband has 3 drawers over full of socks in plain and patterns, so he really didn’t need more socks when I ordered two sets in December. He loves these! Bright colors, fun patterns! I couldn’t go wrong with them. I just don’t know where to put more.

/showme dress socks, which are socks shaped like cute little dresses but for your feet
@mediocrebot They don’t appear to be my size.
@mediocrebot @phendrick I forgot to include the banana for scale.
/showme a dress made out of socks
@mediocrebot And we know where at least one sock would go if these were for a kilt (which, to me, is a dress).
@mediocrebot @phendrick Ahhh but the Scotsman didn’t wear a sock there. Or anything else for that matter except a blue ribbon tied into a bow there…
@Kidsandliz @mediocrebot @phendrick
here’s the “extended version”
(Caution… very grewsome)
/showme 9 for $18
Something went terribly wrong. Please try again.
@mediocrebot can’t handle that crazy of a discount huh?
/showme a dog playing with a football shaped like a square
@mediocrebot doggo can’t solve the Rubik’s football
@awk @mediocrebot Mine could, if you don’t mind the little pieces you’d get back.
I like the boot socks the sold a million years ago… bring those back!
@actionPacked Count my vote for more boot socks!
Off topic, but not worth a separate thread.
Anyone who’s a SamsClub member and wanted good knives cheaper than those CRKT here a while back should check out these Gerbers on clearance at < $5 each:
https://www.samsclub.com/p/gerber-3-piece-folding-knife-set/P03021189?xid=plp_product_1
The “Zilch” has a lousy name but has become my favorite and EDC utility knife. Easy to open to lock AND CLOSE with one hand.
Already had a set and thought enough of them to buy 2 more for gifting.
@phendrick Good info!! But “shipping not available”.
@docflash Dunno. On the listing i saw, “delivery” was available, but not “shipping”. Guess for clearance they are just local items. Was in my local club today when i spotted the sale, so just picked them up myself. They had plenty on the shelves at the time.
@phendrick Not available in any store around me, nor for shipping, but thanks anyway.
@phendrick That paraframe one looks pretty cool but I think my guy has enough knives. Thanks for the heads up.
@phendrick thanks for the tip. They available at my local AND I’ve already got to make a trip there today. Double win.
@Vee19 Glad someone here can take advantage.
Be sure to stock up on TP! (IDK what’s happening, but odds were about 9 of 10 carts i saw had either TP or paper towels or cases of water. We had some localized flooding, but that’s supposed to be over, for now.)

WTF are the women’s socks???
@Star2236 truly. I bought these a couple times ago and there are good socks, but just plain too big for my women’s 10 feet. We like whimsical sticks, too, damn it. And there don’t all need to be pastel. Oh, well. Meh button it is

The excitement over these docs appears to have waned.
/showme socks made out of dress
@mediocrebot
Now those are some very pretty socks!
@Lynnerizer Those would be “wow” socks if they existed.
@Lynnerizer @werehatrack potential market here?
/showme socks made out of bananas
I’d buy socks that looked like those.
@haydesigner I have banana socks!
Too many “square” socks. Not enough whimsy.
Wow, just love what you love and you’ll get a quote in the meh product description!!
@ronnyd I’m still riding the high from the quote… I read it amps to my wife again and she says “yeah, and they’re laughing their asses off saying ‘ who is this guy? Who’s so excited about socks??’ “
I am, Ms. Ronnyd, I AM.
/showme a sock made of a dollar
Bring back the sports socks. I bought those probably 3 years ago and they have lasted that long. They are the best sock I have ever owned.
Great Sox. Bought last time and years ago when meh was selling the boot style (hint hint) which is thicker. They last forever.
In for some burger & tacos. These socks are all I wear, after 40 years of boring black Gold Toes. When I wear socks at all, that is, which in Floriduh is only about 40 days a year…
/showme a robot wearing socks
@mediocrebot fail
/showme a sock made out of robots
@ronnyd look like something from Lucas’s mind! I’d legit wear these, and imagine being a droid all day!
@JWhirly I thought exactly the same! Very Star Wars esque
I bought these when they were last up, and I generally like them, but when I took off one pair the first time I wore them, my thumb went right through the heel of the sock somehow, so they’re not super-durable.
Really, socks? Everything lately is either cheap Chinese gadgets, microfiber or some other crap with 90% margins.
@mattig88 Don’t forget the expired snacks!
@mattig88 @zachdecker And the big lithium battery packs that the manufacturer disavowed, and the not-expired-but-hard-to-unwrap candy, and the steam cleaners that even had the staff going “WTF?! REALLY?”.
Some days, you just can’t win.
That server glitch was weird. But I finally fought though it to find…socks. Meh.
I love Unsimply Stitched socks… That said, I have so many socks that I now have TWO (large) sock drawers (people always buy me socks as presents because once upon a time I didn’t have enough socks and even though I now have far too many… people keep buying me more socks because they think it’s funny to do so, it’s become a joke).
So, if I didn’t already have enough socks to last through the *apocalypse, I would buy these.
@OnionSoup so tru! you tell someone ONE TIME you need a good pair of socks and then everyone you know is buying you socks!
@OnionSoup
So you don’t know how to wash things by hand? In the stream? Using a rock? My daughter (from Cambodia) could give you some lessons about that. For her a washboard was high tech in her early years.
@Kidsandliz I’m sure I could do that, but I’m also sure my time would be better spent doing other things during the apocalypse than washing badger print socks in a stream.
@OnionSoup I guess stinky feet from dirty socks, if they were really dirty and stinky, could drive away the predators so you’d stay safe.
@Kidsandliz @OnionSoup Socks stretch out while you wear them, so although I’m not averse to hand-washing socks, I would miss being able to tighten them back up in the dryer.
/showme the sock apocalypse.
Maybe I should have said the asockalypse.
@OnionSoup I think we should make that the official word for it.
@mediocrebot huh. I expected Mister Stay-Puft.
@mediocrebot @PocketBrain Or the Eater Of Socks.
/showne the sock apocalypse with Mister Stay-Puft
@PocketBrain Huh. That seems to have gotten ignored. Aha! A typo! I will give it another go.
@werehatrack My typing skills have taken an egregious hit since I broke my finger.
@PocketBrain I feel the pain. Mine have been decaying badly since the tremor started to show up. I get double keystrokes on about a one-in-80 rate.
/showme the sock apocalypse with Mister Stay-Puft
@mediocrebot That’s more like it!
/showme the sock uprising of 2027
/showme million dollar socks on travis kelce
/showme a breakfast octopus wearing socks
@mediocrebot @dave was better
Got the email blast, and saw “Octopus” and immediately came back here to make sure they weren’t selling octopus socks again. Come on Meh, don’t tease me like that.
I ordered these socks in an earlier offering. They are great. However, I love the type that cover the entire calf. Do you ever run across long dreas socks? Also compression would be a HUGE bonus.
@yopinch They’ve had loads of compression knee socks; I’d be surprised if SideDeal or Morningsave didn’t still have them.
@werehatrack Thanks for the heads up! I just ordered some from Sidedeal.
/showme washing socks on a washboard in the stream during the sock apocalypse with Stay-Puft in the background wrestling with a breakfast octopus
@mediocrebot I don’t see any socks

@dave I don’t know. I don’t know I can ever recover. I think only decades of counseling, or an IRK can save me from the disappointment.
@OnionSoup You need a 360-TrackR IRK, stet.
@OnionSoup @werehatrack
?
@chienfou @OnionSoup It was a topy. The finger controllers, they do not always obey what the think-wetware requests.
But @OnionSoup clearly needs that special IRK. Rush. Urgent.
@chienfou @werehatrack I strongly disagree with that sentiment.
@dave it’s ok!!! Just send me more socks!!! I NEED MORE SOCKS!!!
/showme Sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me.
Who wears socks anymore? I only wear them if I’m wearing a suit.
@haigster Business, bathing, boiler, civil, or birthday?
@haigster Even your birthday suit? Seems kinda weird.
@haigster Don’t your feet get cold? Mine are cold all winter, even with socks on. Plus my shoes start to smell bad if I don’t wear socks.
@werehatrack Business, sometimes. Maybe to a formal wedding. But, I wasn’t born with socks on so … birthday suit, no.
/showme cats in socks
/showme miniature hands wearing funky dress socks on each finger
My husband has 3 drawers over full of socks in plain and patterns, so he really didn’t need more socks when I ordered two sets in December. He loves these! Bright colors, fun patterns! I couldn’t go wrong with them. I just don’t know where to put more.
@njobowman49 Next, Meh needs to sell dressers or bureaus.
@njobowman49 And I thought my one drawer full of socks was bad!
80% cotton? I’ll give these a try.
Meh just canceled my order saying “Unable to ship as expected”. What gives?! Anyone else?
@gtripoli YES! My order, too.
Same - cancelled with zero explanation. ?
@troy Did the batch come up short?
@werehatrack Warehouse couldn’t locate the last remaining inventory of certain styles. I’m told an email with explanation & coupon has been sent.
@troy @werehatrack Coupon, yes. Explanation, not so much. Thank you for the details.
MEH! You’ve done me wrong. You canceled my order because you ‘couldn’t ship it as expected’
All I want is my awesome socks.
POPSOCKETS! ROAD ROCKETS! SONNY CROCKETT! AWESOME!
@mediocrebot bad bot
@dt1ll0ts0n Same! I wanted the socks, not the dirty refund money!
