Yet another socks offender.

[Mahatma Kane Jeeves]

So he must be a registered socks offender . . .

[Mahatma Kane Jeeves]

D'oh!
:-P

[Siouxie]

Does he need them for his penis?

[Jeff Meyerson]

I liked the headline from the news.com.au version:

Darn it - socks offender falls down

His mom makes him sound pathetic (well, more pathetic): His mother, Linda Dowdy, told the Associated Press her son developed his fetish when he clung to a pair of her socks as a keepsake when he was forced to live with his father for a year as a child.

But the cops don't buy it: Police Captain Don Sax (yes, really) said that while Dowdy is "obviously a guy with a problem," authorities had run out of patience.

[Siouxie]

Very cute, MKJ! LOL

[insomniac]

he's also been charged with 'stocking' women...

[JayP]

MKJ, looks like one of us is avoiding work just a little harder than the other one...

[Siouxie]

oops...and JP too ;-)

[lil rascal]

Having been socked in the side of the head appears to be the reason for his major psychological issues and deformaties.

[Mahatma Kane Jeeves]

I knew I shounta typed 'registered' . . .

[Annie Where-but-here]

Has anyone seen Punkin's sock full o' nickels?

[insomniac]

and when he goes back to jail he'll be a 'three-time hoser'...

[Siouxie]

Annie, I believe she put it next to her cell phone....can't seem to find it though.

[Hammond Rye]

"As part of you sentence, you all will be expected to work. This is not a resort! Dowdy, you're getting laundry detail. Underwear and socks. Don't screw it up!"

"Warden, I think Dowdy's fainted."

[Mahatma Kane Jeeves]

There many offers of smelly hosery on ebay . . . one of many hard to explain fetishes

[Siouxie]

My questions is...does he take the stinky socks or the clean ones?

[Annie Where-but-here]

*waves @ Hammie!*

[Annie Where-but-here]

pssst, Sioux, he takes the 'pheromone-enhanced' ones....

[Elon@Rice]

Sio, if he wanted clean woman's socks, he could hold up a clothing store.

[Allen at Division]

Known Associates: Lamb Chop, Kermit, Mr. Bunny Rabbit...

[baligurl]

I've got a whole laundry basket of singles to help him pass the time, as it were.

[Siouxie]

♬ Smelly sock...sme-elly sock...♪

[SW]

When the police confiscated his favorite sock with a hole in it, he said, "Darn it!"

[Margaritaville]

There are some weird ass people in the world.

[The Dread Pirate Chris]

MKJ - Useful link please. Christmas is cumming.

[Meditrina]

Sock it to him, batman!

[Annie Where-but-here]

Ringscuffs on his fingers,
And Belleville's on his toes....

[clark Kent]

My socks DO match. They're the same thickness.

[Siouxie]

Butt...are they the same color, clark??? What's under those red boots, eh??

[Erb's point]

Clearly, his parents never made him toe the line when he was growing up.

[Mahatma Kane Jeeves]

DPC: You'll have to trust me on that (search would just depress me). I read somewhere these feet lovers were kids whose moms didn't pay enough attention to them, and all they saw was the mom's feet as she walked around whilst the little one was left on the floor . . .

[Lois]

Clark, the socks go OVER the tights.

[Siouxie]

I do like your new HAT, Clark. Very posh.

[Annie Where-but-here]

*snork* @ Siouxie!
Have you seen his new car?

[JayP]

I don't get this Clark Kent-Superman connection. I mean, Clark wears glasses!

That being said, I can't wait until Superman takes on this villain.

[Siouxie]

Awwww so purty in pink!! LOL

[Lois]

I just hope he doesn't find my Bob Cat (iykwim)

[Annie Where-but-here]

Just be careful where you hide it (see last thread).

[Betsy]

So this guy has spent upwards of SIXTEEN years in the slammer on three sock-theft felonies???

You can rob my house
Steal my car
Crack my skull
With an iron bar
Take my money
from the old strong box,
But unh-unh honey --
lay offa my socks.....

[Annie Where-but-here]

...and that Superdog doesn't get a hold of it.

[Meanie the Blue]

Feets, don't jail me now!

[Lois]

*snork* @ Annie! I saw that one too. Too funny.

[crossgirl]

maybe he thinks goldtoe contain real gold.

[Siouxie]

Damn you, Lois Lane!

[Annie Where-but-here]

Don't knee'd to knit-pick on Lois. She's been paired with Clark since before he was on the tube, when he was knee-hi to an argyle, when he first made crew in Thermal, CA.

[clark Kent]

To explain the Clark Kent-Superman connection, you have to understand that people in Metropolis are REALLY, REALLY dumb....

That's why I stay there. I would have to wear a mask anywhere else....

[SW]

He was a klep-toe-maniac.

[clark Kent]

To explain the Clark Kent-Superman Jay, you have to understand that people in Metropolis are REALLY, REALLY, REALLY stupid....

That's why I stay there. I would have to wear a mask anywhere else....

And, for the record, Lois and I met at band camp. That's all I'm prepared to say...

[Annie Where-but-here]

Don'tcha hate it when the elastic gets old in your puns and they fall down around your ankles?

[clark Kent]

Sorry, the bots are giving me fits.

They must be from Metropolis too...

[Annie Where-but-here]

the bot has kryp-toe-nite.

[SW]

Has he cotton away with it before?

[SW]

Not your garter-variety thief, is he?

[Meanie the Blue]

'Twas the night before Tuesday, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the laundry with care,
In hopes that we'd find at least one complete pair;

The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of Family Guy danced in their heads;
And mamma in her negligee, and I in my briefs,
Had just settled down for a night of relief,

When from our bedroom door there arose such a clatter,
My daughter's sobbing words said something was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.

The moon on the breast of the new-fallen dew
Gave just enough light to spy a figure askew
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
It was James M. Dowdy holding stockings so sheer

But breaking and entering for the sake of some hose?
With a startled shiver, then a 911, click,
I knew in a moment this guy must be sick.
More rapid than eagles the cruisers they came,

And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;

"Now, officers! Now, Seargent! Lieutenant and Captain!
You've got me again, come see what I'm wrapped in!
To the back of the cruiser! To the back of the cell!
Now dash away! Dash away! Take me to Hell!"

[CJrun]

He stole the Clinton's cat? Get-toe thug!

[clark Kent]

Meanie, that was a near masterpiece!

If I decide to get a new theme song, I know who to call....

[CJrun]

Nice job Meanie.

OT\ can I just carry a Gateway laptop?

[Diva]

Whaddaya mean a NEAR masterpiece? That was Meanie's magnum toe-pus!

[Richard Gere]

*WAVES silk stocking @ Meanie!!*

bravo!

[Siouxie]

um...

'twas moi.

[Meditrina]

CJ, if you have the box, just poke a hole in the top and wear that. :)

Lemme know how it works out or if you're Chicken!

[Circuit7]

You people are toe funny! Thank you all so much for making my workday minimally bearable.

[CJrun]

EWWWWWwwwwww@Diva!

[JayP]

"Beware the Jabbersock, my son!
The hose that run, the toes all holed!
Beware the TubeTube sock, and shun
The argyllious toes of gold!"

[Annie Where-but-here]

Twas brilliant, lo, his slithy toes,
Did gyre and gimble below the Blue.
All flimsy were the poly-wove,
But his crew socks were new.

[SW]

"James M. Dowdy, 36, of 7702 W. Main St., was charged with residential burglary, a class X felony."

Hails from West Main in Bellville
And they'll book him at the station
Apprehended so red-handed
He denied the accusation, oh no no
Oh no no no
Oh no no no
And I don't know if he's ever comin' home

(and lol mtb)

[SW]

But was he Belleville's Man of the Year, 2002?

(if anybody gets that, email me)

[Siouxie]

MONKEES!!!

[Siouxie]

What did I win?? What did I win??? huh? huh?

[CJrun]

SW's undying admiration...and some socks.

[Siouxie]

Can I exchange that for what's behind door #2??

[SandyEggo]

I think I got that book as a wedding present, "The Joy of Sox".

[frodolives]

In what is apparently a related story, James M. Dowdy, 36, of 7702 W. Main St. has been lost in the dryer. News at 11...

[Ednausean]

NOV 7 2000..Local police reported A thief attempted to steal socks from a white house on Pennsylvania Ave.
Unfortunately the former occupant's wife had already given her socks to a taxidermist to have both it and her husband stuffed.
