Kimmy, I had a similar situation happen to me last week. I bought a bunch of striped tube socks for the tour as well (though I never found any with green stripes), and have been getting a lot of wear out of them since.
When at my daughter's high end dance studio, everyone is required to remove their street shoes even in the waiting room. Last week, I was there surrounded by what Stewart would call alpha moms, who were all slipping their pedicured feet out off their Pradas. Meanwhile, I pulled off my Chucks and inadvertently revealed my big ugly toe sticking out of one of my beloved tube socks. I still haven't thrown the pair out, but I guess I'll have to soon. Then again, I rather enjoyed generating the poorly veiled looks of horror among those type A moms. Maybe I'll save them for a repeat performance down the line.
In Dallas, the only game that really mattered was in the word gamelan.
