I left the group meeting the other night nearly cackling with relisation about this idea.
That's something I enjoy most thoroughly about the group. We've sort of all had experiance with breaking free of the norm a bit and it shows in the senses of humor and the creativity of thought that shows up.
So when the goofiness that is sock puppets in my own head got paired with the pick socks of hatred and other names for them came up like the pink sock of pestilance it quickly became the pink socks of the apocalypse.
I filed that in the back of the brain as something to play with later. and we went on to other conversation.
Not much later as I was driving away from the book store, it occurs to me that that might be a good way to get the other part of what inspired the pink socks going.
You see from the very start of the pink socks of hatred the vexation I also have with the culture of fear we now live in was intermeshed with the idea. Now it seems that they would be the first two socks of the coming apocalypse.
So I'm sitting at a red light laughing about pink sock and the apocalypse. I'm still slightly undecided wether there are four or if each is actually a pair and thus eight pink socks of the apocalypse. I'm also trying to decide what the other two are. I'm fairly certain that the third should go to those that actively strive to perpetuate stupidity and ignorance. The final one might be apathy, greed, or something similar. They are a bit harder to do because the goal is to find people who activly encourage that destructive aspect of our world and finding those that encourage greed rather then those that are just greedy is the hard part, the same applies to apathy, though perhaps if it were about laziness then we could target manufacturers of products that are not needed and encourage laziness.
But this turned out to be such an intresting idea that It encouraged me to further think about the revisions of that blog to have all four pink sock of the apocalypse represented and to aware one of each for each month making four pink sock awards each month to the people who encourage the degredation of our world through their particular contribution and four charities each month getting donations from readers as the final nose thuming to the awardees.
Now I have to figure out how to arrange donations and such.
This project will come to fruition.
Take care of yourselves.

I'm not surprised that this caused you to start thinking about the 'other three socks' that lurk on the horizon lol. Ironically when I first thought about the pink sock of pestilence (and consequently thought of the four pink socks of the apocolypse) I was sitting at a red light laughing. They say the best ideas are usually had in the bathroom or just as you're falling asleep. I'd like to add red lights to that as well.
so in order to have the bestest idea ever we should fall asleep in the bathroom under red lights?
Actually that might be something to do anyway just for the sake of being able to say that I did it.
Like when I was younger and I slept on the third shelf in my closet for a few nights, kinda cozy, very dark and something most people never did.
See, see now the things you've all missed. Ha ha ha ha.
