Quitters -
84Bravo1
Member Posts: 10,461 ✭✭
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 *. 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.
Mike
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][}:)]
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]
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.

Check my "Ladder Update," Troll.
Or not. I don't really care either way. You've been up to your old routine lately. It getting kinda Old.
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....

Damn. You are a Genious. Suspenders for my Underwear and my Socks. I don't need to throw any of this stuff away. I'd be styling also. [:D]

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,
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.

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

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]

Finally. A lighthearted reply to my post. What I was seeking. Some laughs. Not the BS another Member is bringing.
I'm quite sure he will be along shortly. Right? [: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?
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.
I do not take myself too seriously. I like to Laugh at things, and myself. (You are now making me laugh at you.) Thank you very much. [:D]
Hey, feel free to "Quote" this. [:D]
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 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!

Old or new doesn't matter with me where socks are concerned. As for drawers. The only ones that the elastic waist band gave out had an eager woman involved.

I've had that problem back in my misspent youth, but not so much the last 40+ years.

Just because yellow peril would fail a short arm inspection or have to be thrown back in the water for being to "short" does not justify racial attacks...
And while I am certain that you think all of us white folk look alike we all have proud rich ethnic origins
I am not white I am mostly Irish and German - straight from county cork in the motherland
Think of the quiet man or Brigadoon - the next time I leave some milk out for the house fairies I will ask them to put a Gaelic hex on you
I mean I know that no other ethnic group is more xenophobic than Asians but don't hate
Mike
What racial attack? "Lighten Up" Nancy [:D].
"Just because yellow peril would fail a short arm inspection or have to be thrown back in the water for being to "short" does not justify racial attacks..." What does this mean? I don't get it. I'm 6'3" so how can I be too short? Is this about BallPark Frankes again? I have to say I feel very uncomfortable with your fascination of my BallPark Frank. Like it's been mentioned it's okay if you like them.
"And while I am certain that you think all of us white folk look alike we all have proud rich ethnic origins" That's funny right there [:D][:D][:D].
"I am not white I am mostly Irish and German - straight from county cork in the motherland" Most Germans would disagree and other than the "Black" Irish they'd disagree as well.
Gonna send out fairies out on me in California? Hate to say this I'm already surrounded by them [:D].
"I mean I know that no other ethnic group is more xenophobic than Asians but don't hate" Yeah I'll agree the Japanese in Japan are. Makes the White Nationals seem down right accommodating. I reckon Japanese government are smart enough not to allow an invasion so the world can see them as PC. Look at Germany not too smart.

You need to tighten up recruiting regulations regarding your socks and underwear. A diet might not hurt either. [;)]
I'm 6'1" go between 190-200lbs. I do not need to lose any weight, just toss my old worn out stuff away. [:D]
I think from now on when my socks give up the ghost, I will start calling them 84Bravo1's
Simply referring to them as Bravo's, would be sufficient to me.
I'm really touched, you would think of me in that light. [:D]
