A guy at work forwarded this to me. Did someone lose a bet? Is this a fad I missed--gag e-Bay listings? I hope so, because it is f*cking hilarious! Check out all the pics!

Craig, if you win these and will photograph yourself wearing them while drinking a Smoothie, I gladly will pay for the socks, postage, and the drink.

Does anyone remember the guy who sold his ex-wife's wedding dress on ebay?

It made national news - he dressed up in it for the pictures. He actually got like 4 marriage proposals (women contacting him).

Yes! He didn't look too bad in it, considering...
I was reading this guys feedback...not the first pair of socks he's sold apparently. Bizarre.

You know, I never thought about it, but there's probably a whole untapped market out there for unmatched socks . Who hasn't got some? Who isn't still looking for the mate, rather than throw out a perfectly good sock? Hmmmmm....

Is this some fetish I am just discovering? Not many people responded, so perhaps I am the last to know.

Like you, I have a veritable goldmine of single socks. At the moment, most end up cleaning my engine or wiping off brake dust. This is an outlet I never had considered.
