why people create sock puppets

some of them do it just for the fun of it...

or to remain anonymous.

but others do so because they're despicable disgusting cowards.

the stinky socks never come clean.

and their alternate socks usually get pretty stinky before too long.

because it still takes the same heart to pump blood to the hands.

and the feet.

and the "brain".

that was the answer to a question on Cash Cab a few weeks ago.

and somehow, i got it right without even knowing the fact.

the mind works in mysterious ways.

so, are you aware of the origin of that Canadian term?

you need a merciless beating with a rusty lead pipe.

and i suspect you'll get one soon enough, mate.

especially since you keep begging for it.

enjoy.

yep.

pretty funny, huh?

i think the question on Cash Cab went something like this:

"originally referring to Depression era folks who
would steal gas from other people's vehicles,
name this slang Canadian term."

it didn't come to me immediately, but after a few seconds, my mind
snapped into action and i shouted it at the TV well before the clock
ran out.

and then i laughed to myself when i realized the actual physical
connection to the word i've heard used so many times before without
ever realizing its hilarious origin.

"Marching bands
are actually
homeless orchestras.
Tragic, really."
