If you know the answer to this, I'll name my firstborn child after you.

Unless your name is Beelzebub or the @ sign...and then all bets are off.

Another clothing question: I bought a set of athletic ankle socks recently from Burlington Coat Factory and LOVE them, but have never been able to find them again. I've looked several times. And the people who work there seem to be long on customers but short on service, as one female employee told me there were no cash registers upstairs a few minutes before I walked past the upstairs cash registers.

In any event, they are athletic ankle socks, white on top, gray on bottom, with a filled-in star inside a circle on the back of the band/heel area. They fit like a glove and I would like to buy 417 pairs (do you say pair or pairs?) of them! I would be so excited to find them...I might even throw them all on my bed and roll around in them. Not unlike the scene in Indecent Proposal after the big casino win but before Woody Harrelson allows his wife to sleep with Robert Redford.

But I digress. Does anyone know the name brand of these fabulous socks?!? So I can purchase them online? I will love you forever if you do!

Thanks! :) Jonezie

Jonezie, I love your posts! Thanks for the :D. No help on the socks, though--my favorites have been discontinued.:( I hope the Converse ones are it.

Elsie...you are so sweet! Thanks for the love! Don't you hate how you fall in love with something and then it's discontinued?!? UGH!


Sue!!! You are a GENIUS! These are the ones! They fit my Fred Flinstone feet so well...I could spend my whole next paycheck on nothing but Converse socks. (That'd be like 4 packages) ;)

OK...so is it going to be Sue or Seww?!? And what if my firstborn is a boy? Sewell?

Just so you know, Sue...I'm 36 and single. A woman who just bought a car booster seat for her Shih Tzu and confessed to you I might roll around in a pile o' socks. So it's not looking like my baby maker is going to be put to use anytime soon. But I promise I'll keep you updated!

Thanks a million... :D Jonezie
 
Jonezie, with all respect to your feet, I think you may have sold the naming rights to your firstborn a little cheaply! Now, what you should have done was post your question here without offering any reward (c'mon, ya know we would have come up with the goods anyway!) and then, once you knew the answer, approached Converse and offered to name your firstborn "Converse" for an undisclosed sum. I believe this would usher our society into a whole new area of marketing and soon, every two year old would be called "Reebok", "Disney" or "Mobile Oil". You would be on the vanguard of the movement and really be able to name your price.

Seriously, why hasn't anyone done this yet?
