Thanks Meh. Great instructions. Store in a cool dry place like the desert at night. Not many if any deserts in Ohio.

Well that's a fun draw-out-lurker idea. So you were not a previous VMP-meh-sock-beneficiary?

And a new round of socks went out? But perhaps it excluded non-lurker-fresh-VMPers?

Thanks Meh. Love the socks although I did name them before reading the instructions. Sophia and Bam-bam are now safely put away in the drawer. I am a lurker no more

@MEHcus and @moose: Great job on the follow-through. I'll give your forum coverage week 5 stars - would definitely recommend.

- This doesn't detract from you, @JonT. Who knows what might have happened if there were a second coverage week?

I love that whoever created the header image chosen for this post seemingly has no understanding of postal barcodes.

- @brhfl I blame @sohmageek for my lack of understanding of postal codes and the many other things I do not understand.

- @cattylaq Sorry, not your picture - the one that presumably got Google-chosen for the header. The person blanked out their ZIP+4, likely without realizing that info is in the funny looking bar code printed underneath the address.

- @brhfl thank God for that bar code.. I missed an "if" statement in code that blanked out the remittance address on 30,000 invoices for our company. The customers who didn't notice and just put the stub in envelope still had their payment arrive safely because of the bar code. Pheeww...

I wear the socks still, but they've started to develop a little bit of a hole... Darn it. Wish I could get more. They're great socks.

I found the same thing creeping around my mailbox too. I was far too lazy to take pictures though, so y'all will just have to take my word for it. Thanks @MEHcus and @moose! Now if the dryer goblins steal one of my original VMP socks, I'll have a backup.

I have mine somewhere, in a box I think (I'm moving)

I thought it was such a cool idea too - sock of the month club (the folk who made them). - unfortunately, other than the version for little kids, they are definitely mediocre in styling.

My daughter would have preferred the design made for men (but they are too big). Her spouse didn't like any of them. She didn't like any of the ones for women, so it was a big waste of dough

I got some with the same message, too!
I'm trying not to lurk, but all the good comments are usually taken!

- @MrsBeckett here are some things that you can always add:
  - Stupid goat!
  - Will it blend?
  - My coast is better than your coast!
  - My beer is better than your beer!
  - BATH (I still don't get this one, but it seems to be a winner)
  You're welcome.
