OT: 116th Obsequious Banter Thread: October is National Pizza Month

Socks with sandals is a heinous crime that should be punishable by limb removal.

Socks with sandals always makes me think of like mid to late 2000s watching an internet NBA summer league stream and Danny Ainge was there with socks and sandals and the announcers kept making fun of him the entire game lol.

Plan the scythe duel. I'll wear a necklace of your feet with socks on them in the shower after my victory

Oh no baby, what is you doin.

 

[wankstifier]

Oh no baby, what is you doin.

Yeah, that was too unhinged. I'll put a sock in it.

 

[Young Sandwich]

No no, you go right ahead and air things out, you'll feel much better that way.

Ok then, I have a topic which I would like to discuss. A couple days ago I was a little under the weather (GI thing). When it came time for bed I felt really chilly so I went to bed with a sweatshirt, sweat pants and (this is the key thing) socks. I started to wonder about the practice of wearing socks to bed, is this something people do? So of course I turned to google and it turns out that there has apparently been some research done on the subject and the conclusion seems to be that it's a good thing and there is evidence that people sleep better with socks on (we're not talking about sleeping when you're at work here).

So the question is, and I think this would make for an elightening poll, when you sleep... socks on or socks off?

Personally I think I'm going to be a "socks on" guy for a while. See how that goes.

On your feet?

If you wear your socks somewhere else we don’t need to know about it.

Just the way I like it.

On the ears? I'm not a moose.

As usual, hardliners are obscuring the correct answer here. It's conditional.

In the summer, only a lunatic would do this. But when my wife is out of town in the winter, I turn the heater down to 60 because I'll be damned if I'm heating this house for just me. Then I need socks in bed.

While I highly approve of the low heating, you are doing yourself a disservice. Your feet will stay warmer under the blankets without socks. And you won't feel like your feet are little people being strangled in their sleep.

Compression socks for people with leg issues like my mom should be the only socks required but everybody has their sleeping habits.

My last girlfriend wanted me to sleep nude like her ...I hate it but supposedly there are various health benefits. I always have to sleep with a t shirt and have some ratty comfy ones years old. My fave is this Goya Salsa Festival red T....lol. Damn T shirt has been holdin up since 2008!

Make sure to give your loved ones socks.

So they can wear them when they go to bed and then be put on the FBI watch list?

There is no ”People who Wear Socks to Bed“ watchlist. That’s just anti-wear-socks-to-bed propaganda. You can trust me on this. Really.

This is pure bunkum and balderdash.

Lies. There’s most certainly a list.

We can only pray that it's nothing like "The Pacific," which was shit. It actually gets worse every time I think about it.

European Theater > Pacific Theater. I might even add African Theater > Pacific Theater. My grandfather was in the Pacific Theater, too, but my decision stands.
