Not all socks are created equal. Even ones that come together in the same 3-pack. It's true. I have some that I've had for maybe 7, 8 years and are still going strong. Others that became full of holes, turned to dust and floated away into space in just a year or two--those were the lucky ones, I always say. No way to predict it, really. Most of them, though, eventually go into the laundry and never come back. We don't ask questions about those ones, just assume they went to a better place.

Darn it! I was trying to come up with a better yarn than this, but mikey beat me to it. He always seems to have that ace in the hole...

Makes you want to sock him, doesn't it?

When I was a kid we could only afford the holes.

As many as it takes to get a finger-sized hole. Impossible to track. My wife runs in socks that don't even look like socks anymore, more like some sort of cloth colander.

Wise words. However my wife advises wearing at least 7 (seven!) pairs in the winter.
It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.
This is why I try to always have 2-3 pair of the same color/model. That way if I lose a single sock I'm not rendering its mate useless.
