Where do old socks go?

We now have time traveling socks as well as Eskimos after them (who we all know are damned smart people. Come on they build houses they can fish in. Can you do that?). They must be very neat little socks indeed.

I can't put a handle on it or maybe I don't want to, but every time I read the opening post, I burst out laughing. Kudos Kuriente for this most brilliant of threads. I've said it before, it's the best I've read as OPs go. And then there are the responses. All those bright minds tangled in a web of socks. Where do they go after all?

I confess I still thinks it's the leprechauns.

Edit: Oh no wait. I've just discovered that the leprechauns are in league with the slimy aliens! Shocked

Just when I was getting somewhere too. I had infiltrated the Fairies and was provoking the fairy trade unions into striking against the low wages paid by the leprechauns to spray the humans with fairy dust that keeps us from seeing them. (For any that do not follow, please look for the earlier post regarding the leprechauns' bar).

See it's like this. The leprechauns got wind of the trouble brewing. So before I could get the fairies to do anything, they got in touch with the aliens. They now use the aliens Hi Tech methods to keep us from seeing them. Obviously they work (Well have you seen an alien? but you will state that you believe they must exist somewhere, it can't be that we are alone in Universe and all that).

The real trouble is, intelligence indicates that the aliens propose to modify the leprechauns gold so that it doesn't disappear. You know, the Irish legend about it. Well that's true too. So if that happens, they will have no shortage of gold to fund their evil ways.

How are we ever going to save the socks? The world is doomed!

I have a sneaky feeling this all part of CF's plans for world domination. Ha I shall foil them yet.

Part 2: An update.

I'm sure you've all been waiting breathlessly for developments to the above and must have figured at the long delay that I must have been done. Fear not, I is back.

As things stand, me and my band of ragged daredevils have managed to buy some time. After considerable effort we managed to discover the location of the aliens research facility where they are experimenting with leprechaun gold. Sneaky aliens managed to build themselves a hideout that can be reached from one of London's undergound's tubes. I believe they got the idea from Superman, whatever that means. They had his posters everywhere!

I believe it is quite close to a London football club. Something in that maybe.

Well we managed to get inside and get away with all their present research. I'll spare you all the gory details. Suffice it to say, we barely got out alive. Yogi Bear didn't make it though. A few broken bones, a few more scratches, even more scrapes and bruises but we're fine really.

Th research is currently being examined, but it appears the aliens had more up their sleeves than just preventing gold from vanishing. It seems they want to discover why and what makes the gold disappear, in the first place. They seem to belive they've discovered some kind of fundamental force of the Universe. Playing around with stuff like that makes me nervous. The leprechauns meanwhile have no idea, they're being double crossed.

Oh and that's not all. Not by a long shot.

The fairies now having been left high and dry, have been after my life. They took too long to act and now are out of a job. They think I should do something about it. Otherwise they are threatening to go to the Elves. Straight to the High Council too. Preposterous I tell you. It's just not done. If those crazies get into the act, we're all done for. Socks or no socks.

Time to stir things up. Especially since Crooked Ferret's last attempt at misdirection, trying to lay the blame on the poor Unicorns of all things. But fear not, no propaganda can work against my sharp eyes. And now Dezzie has seemingly joined their league, things are more serious than ever. It seems they have some serious plans for him, even he doesn't know of.

It could be that the women of the world are getting rid of the odd socks to keep us buying new pairs, I know some guys will have to have a very good reason to get rid of old socks and buy new ones. So I tried doing my own laundry and they still disappear, but nevertheless, I'm keeping my eye on the missus

Trolls steal them while you sleep, but only the left ones for some reason.
