Most Noble Order of the Sock Drawer

[JSumm]

Agreed! Climate controlled with dehumidification is ideal, but we cannot forget contaminated particles.

Here is a good chart that I still cannot understand why Larrin has not put more research into for his website. This will give you a good idea of what to look for when selecting a purifier or several.

I agree....that's some in depth stuff

Kevin, I know you are reading this. Come back to the drawer.

If a member were to have possibly maybe ran out of room in the sock drawer, which drawer should they possibly use next. Hypothetically speaking. Just thinking outside the drawer in case this were to come up in future meetings. And speaking of meetings, where the heck have you guys been? I have been making the most delicious gluten free pumpkin cookies with purifying green tee for our meetings and let me just say, my system cannot take eating and drinking all of it any longer.

Sorry I have been on a Flan diet !

[JSumm]

That is probably better than my pumpkin spice cookies with cleansing green tea.

Gave some Flan to Jo and she didn’t tell anyone about it ! I’m getting into it tonight after a layoff last night . I will stay away from the scale !

It's about time someone recognized that I'm special.

Hey, is that Mr. Rogers, from The Neighborhood? Man, that guy could really sit in a chair, he had a talent. And is he drawing a knife from his sock?

[JSumm]

I think he may be using the bottom of his shoe to strop the edge.

Little known fact, Mr. Rogers back in the day would use his shoe string to perform cut test. All that shoe tying created extra prop inventory from his show. It was a natural progression to use the left over material. PBS had a pilot called Edging with Rogers. They quickly cancelled it as it failed to take off.

Little known fact, Mr. Rogers back in the day....

That’s all true JSumm ^ and I’m glad to have met a fellow devotee of Mr. Rogers here on the Spyderco forum. But your abbreviated recount does leave some of the important history of Fred Rogers untold: Rogers’ first children’s show was titled *Knife Fighting in your Neighborhood.* Some of you are old enough to remember the song: “It’s a beautiful day to slice and dice; a beautiful day for a saber; Who wants a slice? Do you want a slice? Come and get some, neighbor!” …which would introduce the first fight scene. The origin of the trolly was that it would bring around bandages and antiseptic after demonstrations. KFIYN eventually gained more viewership than *Captain Kangaroo’s Kick Boxing*, which, although it left Mr. Green Jeans a swollen mess at the end of each show, *only* targeted Green Jeans, which bored the children. Whereas the genius of Mr. Rogers was that he invited guests, so there was always “fresh blood,” so to speak. I believe that a young Michael Janich made an appearance as a child bystander in one of the early shows.

The kid’s shows were tougher and more realistic back then, teaching the chillun what they really needed to know. But then along came President Johnson and his “Great Society,” and the TV programming went soft. Rogers traded his black tactical vest for a cardigan, and started to hide his knives in his socks, instead of on a double leather bandoleer on his often shirtless chest. Rogers eventually ditched the whisky placement ads, and soon after that the two buxom “helpers” were let go. Fortunately one of them, by the name of Pamela Anderson, got a gig on Baywatch, but the other one, a Sophia Vergara…I don’t know what happened to her. At any rate, the show evolved over time, and much of the back-history of Mr. Rogers has been assigned to the memory hole...to society's great loss, I think.

I never knew one pair of socks could start historical musing of such magnitude . Looks like I missed some pretty good shows in the past ! 0002

[JSumm]

Bolster, this may be your best historical work ever! Well done.



These two lines with the build up really got me.

Come and get some, neighbor!”

And to think, that guy was trying to tear us down, and he only wove us together.

Well said ! You are on top of it buddy ! 0002

Aw, you guys are too kind. Yes, I was a history undergraduate at Mark Twain University, so fabricating true revisionist history is something I was trained to do. As our great founder said:

"Truth is the most precious thing we have, so we must economise, and use it sparingly."
