The Merchant Family Foundation is presently accepting proposals for the effective and creative reuse of 57 orphan socks.
The socks range in size from newborn to adult male, cover the full color spectrum, and even include slipper socks and printed holiday footwear.
The process through which they arrived in their current detached and solitary state is unknown. However, they have taken up permanent residence in a laundry basket.
Proposals must involve removing the socks from their current location and cannot necessitate finding their long-lost partners.
Preference will be given to proposals which can turn socks into a renewable resource, cause them to self propagate, or generate income from them.
No funds are authorized to be expended on this proposal. [The account is already in trouble due to the inexplicable and unaccountable loss of 57 socks.]

It sounds like a sock puppet venture is right up your alley!
And can I just say, that I will be unable to vote in the poll posted on your blog as a suitable answer was not available to me. ; )
LOL!!!! I'm going upstairs to count my orphan socks...maybe there's a way to combine them all!
Do you think if we all got our orphan socks together magically we could make more pairs? I think due to Jackson's sock fetish I have at least 100 orphan socks maybe more. Let me know what brilliant idea you have for them I may have to copy.
Well when I was a kid we used all the orphaned socks to decorate the bishops front lawn one night.
Sock puppets are a must. Maybe they'll entertain the kids for a few minutes. You could also have the kids put them on their hands and use them to dust. I also use socks at Christmas time and make a garland out of them to do the twelve days of Christmas and put little treats in each one for each day leading up to Christmas. Like a dummy, I actually bought socks for this purpose when I could have had you send me some of your orphans! Good luck!
