Panties Ready for Bunching

Today I’ve been hunting down rants. Discarding a misguided list of the 50 greatest cartoon characters ever (Porky Pig made it in over Marvin the Martian?

Thankfully, Simon the Fake Lintott is openly planning to post on “why socks suck”. The mere thought of such a post brings me to staggering heights of flabbergasted outrage. As I noted early on, socks are the most wonderfully fun pieces of clothing ever - or at least since codpieces and hats with excessive feathers.

    I would not leave the house without socks on (me, not the house). My socks never match - as a mathematician I define a pair of socks to be “a sock, plus another sock” - but my preference for boots means that this is usually not obvious. It was considered hilarious in Japan, where shoes are not worn in private homes.
    Whether I am typical of the British public in these matters I have no idea. (Which is to say that I do, and I’m not.)
