Quitters -

84Bravo1
Okay, I know most of you probably know what this refers to in Sock Lingo. (Quitters are socks who have lost their elastic holding power, and end up around your ankles.)

I've been pulling from the bottom of the drawers in order to dress myself. (Long story.)


Well, I put on some "Quitters," about 4:30 this AM. (I knew it was going to be a problem.) I then changed Boxer Briefs, and guess What? Came up with another pair of "Quitters." [:0][B)] I'm thinking, This is going to be a LONG day. I'm thinking, Hey - my pants should keep these up and in place. Right?


Most of the day my socks were around my ankles. Steel toe, military surplus high top boots. Aaaaarrrrggghhhh.........................

Every time e I went to take a whizz at work, I was pulling my other "Quitters" up.


Was getting out of the car, and walking the long path to the front door of my house after work. Something felt "not quite right." [^]



Yep, made it into the house, started changing out of my work clothes. My Underwear "Quitters," were down below my A$$. So much for my pants keeping everything where it needed to be. [:0][B)][V]







Okay, flame me. I thought I would give you Boys a laugh. I'm ready for the abuse. Bring it. [:D][}:)]

    So blouse those quitters...

    You were in the service - so use the preferred method or try rubber bands as a field expedient.

    So, I should tie several rubber bands together to go around my waist? [:o)]








    (And) I can see it now. "Uhmmn my feet are turning Black. Is that going to be a problem?"


    (Bloused my fatigues for 5 years Mike. I know what you are talking about.)






    Carry on.

    Geez Mike, I still have a few pair of the old green braided ones with the brass hook on each end. They're 50 years old this year and still have their "elasticity." Guess I just can't get myself to part with certain things from my past. [;)]





    The Girl Scouts bloused their Trousers? [:D][}:)]

    Like extending a 24 foot ladder to 30 feet, I'm failing to see how your 'quitters' could slide down inside properly laced military boots.

    I was hoping to add something more substantial to my 'learning' today, but I'll take what I get. Thanks for the new vocabulary word.

    I've got a few of those around too GG. Mine (however) do not have the GS logo on them. Are your "Colors" soft brown with dark brown accents?


    Sorry, I'm pulling from memory, having eaten a few Brownies, back in my Boy Scout days. [:D]

    They not only make suspenders for your trousers that you could also clamp your under wear up with

    But they also make suspenders for socks...


    Of course if you weren't such a "quitter" and quit doing laundry...[;)][:D]

    Of course around here we call quitters "dust rags"... Socks and underwear are so cheap especially at Walmart, that you don't have to deal with what you dealt with today....

    You're a real man of your 'word' aren't you?

    At least you get to UP your post count[xx(]

    Say, whatever happened to your mower? You like to post your crisis de Jour, but can't seem to post any follow up.

    I can laugh at myself, and post my trevails and shortcomings. I come here to have a good time. It is really too bad People like you chose to come on here and try and Prove how Superior you are.

    That's okay. I've come across People like you my whole life.

    My Mower blade is still bent. Good thing I have an older mower to use. Does this update make you feel any better about yourself? Want to know about my Water Heater?


    I give. You Win.

    I fail to see how my asking about your ladder or mower makes me 'superior'. I posted a different view about your mower and was curious about the outcome.

    It must suck to always be a victim.

    You were in no way interested in My Mower outcome, or any other thing I have to post. You simply want to Needle me. I get it. I really do not care either way. It simply proves what a Little Man you are.


    As far as my "post count goes. I really do not/am not paying attention to it. It appears you are. I come here to have a good time, and share laughs and knowledge with like minded folks.

    I'm sorry you do not like me, and feel the need to Needle me. That is on you. I have a very simple solution for you. DO NOT OPEN, READ OR RESPOND TO MY POSTS.


    Can you handle that? If not, I do not know what else I can recommend to you other than something that would be physically impossible for you.



    Have a nice day,

    Actually I WAS and AM interested in your mower 'outcome'. I'm the only poster that suggested your mower deck may be bent.

    If I were really a 'troll' my post count would much higher, but with your math skills that might not be obvious to you.

    You might want to go review your 'Zapruder film' post to see where you invited this. Probably won't. It's easier to be a victim I guess.

    However you may protest to the contrary, You are not interested in anything I may post, other than needling me. I get it.


    I am VERY aware my Zapruder post brought you to be my Personal Troll.


    Perhaps you should review your subsequent posts to (pretty much every post of mine, you have posted to.)


    Troll?




    Nah,..........................................[:0][B)][:D]




    Others have called you out as such, in regards to my posts and your replies to them. Funny how you seem to disregard that little factoid.


    But Hey, I really hope you are having a good evening. I know I am. [:D]

    You might want to look up 'factoid', because you actually used it correctly. "Genious"

    Oddly enough, if ANYONE had posted about extending a 24 foot ladder to 30 feet, I would have asked the same question. You just seem to have cornered the market on posting hogwash. That should make you feel special, no?

    The elastic gaiter strip with the hook strap arrangement is the official method...

    The field expedient can also be used to cover the end of your rifle and the end of your gun...

    Surely one of you fine veterans knows what I am referring to.

    You call yours quiters, I call mine creepers. I'm not big enough around to over stretch the elastic in drawers, but socks that creep down and bunch up around my toes is a major PITA.

    You might try some of these,

    You'd think they'd be too warm, but I've even taken to wearing them in the summer and they're still more comfortable than the all cotton socks I have.

    Oh yes. Indeed it does. Is that the very Best you have to offer?


    I'm really quite chagrined Genious.


    As posted previously. I come here, in order to have a good time. You apparently have a different agenda. Carry on, you are doing such a fine job.

    You are absolutely right!

    They add more cushion, absorb more sweat, keep my feet cooler, don't droop, and my feet don't stink.

    And I live in the Desert!
