Socks

I first became alert to the signidicance of sock power when I discovered the apparently limiteless play value of the sock ball and the eponymous Schmerltz. My discovery of the Sock Monkey phenomenon has further fired my respect for the play value of socks.

According to this site "sock monkeys and humans have existed in a symbiotic relationship with one another. This relationship began with the monkey's favorite food, lint, which was produced in vast quantities in the prehistoric dryers of humans." And here, should you be so inclined, are directions for making your own.
