Sometimes my foot and ankle hair pokes through my socks. The socks don't have holes. The hairs just make their way through the knitting.

That's why hobbits don't wear sneakers.
 
Uh oh! Time to get your legs waxed! :smile:
 
foot and ankle hair :confused: :bugeye:
 
I'm glad I've never had to experience that, must look kind of odd, hairy socks?

I thought you had pets. Okay, so it's not your hair. :rolleyes:
 
Oh, it's only a few strands. I noticed them for the first time this afternoon.
 
Sometimes while walking to school I will count how many breaths I take. If I hold my breath I can walk the almost one mile to school in under 100 breaths.
 
Sometimes I think cheese is interesting. There are a lot of different kinds of cheese. Some cheese doesn't even look like cheese at all. For instance, ricotta cheese. If someone hadn't told me that was cheese I never would have guessed what it was.

So, according to established food guides, is 'head cheese' considered a meat or a dairy product?

You mean this thread had an overall purpose to begin with? Or was that a http://dhr.dos.state.fl.us/kids/images/symbols/mid/porpoise.jpg maybe?

Sometimes, if I look at a word long enough or repeat its sound enough times, it loses its natural familiarity and becomes completely alien sounding. Try it: purpose... purpose... purpose...

thats why i hate my real name. people say it so often, i think it sounds ridiculous.

it is odd though... its like you don't realize what a word actually sounds like until you say it over and over... and then it sounds so foriegn. when i do that, sometimes i can't remember how i would normally have said it to begin with, because suddenly the word is so strange.

I get this too, but not so much with nouns and verbs. Words that I use a lot like 'though' begin to appear funny to me. though, though, though.

In the case of a few usernames, once or twice is enough to make them sound silly.
