FAN CLUB AND ARMBANDS

Well, it appears Mr. Deep-Pools-Of-Sadness-In-My-Eyes has yet another place to get fans: If you use the social networking site Facebook, there is now a Sockington Fan Club. What this could possibly do to make your life better is beyond me, but whatever the herd wants, I guess.

Speaking of which, there’s been the occasional hilarious call for Sockington-related merchandise, or even merchandise involving… me.  I suppose there’s some sort of urge by people, when they enjoy some event, club, or cat, to want to have an item commemorating it. Therefore, I am proposing armbands.

They would probably say SOCKS ARMY or something. I have to actually figure out details with someone who actually carries a wallet. But somehow this seems at least vaguely relevant on two fronts: t-shirts are just more needless waste of fabric, and armbands are vaguely fascist, just like Socks and his Cult of Lack of Personality. They creep people out and yet they’re also easy to store or wear to socially awkward occasions.

I’ll take any commentary and thoughts in the comments.

Also, I wish someone would top off my food dish. Turkey, please.

Clearly, whatever the schwag is, it should be wearable by cats and humans alike.

But what do I know? I’m a fish. Ooh, pebbles.

Hey Penny!

I bet my staff would totally wear an armband. Me, not so much. I’m not down with the whole “cats in clothes” thing. Clothes are for sleeping on, not wearing!

Well, if you made the armbands adjustable-with velcro strips-then they could be worn as armbands by people with different sized arms *and* by cats as”collars”, or, well, neckbands, instead of armbands. They’d be safe, because of the velcro, and stylish for both cats and humans :-)
