Hi,

Just wanted to thank you for the great service from sockguy.com.

My Aussie in-laws love your products. Being summer over there, I wanted to send them some of your socks for Christmas, but couldn't find any locally here in Vail, CO during our winter months. So, I ordered through your Web site, and LOVED the selection, quick shipping and flat rate shipping fee.

Everything arrived before Christmas, and they love the socks.

Thanks again!

Betty

Happy Holidays from SockGuy!

Can you guess which hand puppets are Captain Cardboards?

I rode 2 bikes today!

Yes, you read that correctly. It was the first time in awhile that I returned from a MTB ride and had enough juice to go for a road apertif. 2 hours at Goodan Ranch on my 29er then 2 hours on the road (Riding my SS roadie), I will sleep well tonight.

CC can't figure out how to use a camera but, to keep up with the loonie's across the blog world here was my foot condom of choice today.



It's raining right now....Isn't this SoCal? It doesn't rain here. I guess no ride tomorrow.

Talk to you soon,

CC (The Captain)

Someone out there heard me talking...

about our Christmas socks...Great Googliemooglie. I got to work Monday with 140 web orders in my inbox. It wouldn't be so bad if that's all I had to process and ship but, I had retail orders to contend with as well. Thankfully "Ralph" let NickO and Sean come back to the warehouse and help me out. To make matters worse I have some kind of Flu. Body aches, nasty headaches the whole kit and kaboodle.

BTW unless we run more it looks like this years Christmas socks are soldout. Maybe we will run a samller batch. Ask your Bike Shop when you can get your toes in some "HO" socks or "Drunk Reindeer" socks.

Excerpts found on the web....

Some resemble actual employee's others not so much.....

Enjoy!

"These two fellows pale in comparison to the ultimate, all-time numero uno misfit I have ever encountered in a club. We call him "The Guy With a Sock in His Pants," or "Sock Guy," for short. Sock Guy is an emaciated, burned-out gentleman in his late thirties. He's evidently stuck in the 80's, consistently dressing in a tight pink Le Tigre shirt, pinstriped jeans, white Capezios, and a mullet with a bleached disco tail in back. His most distinguishing characteristic, however, is an obvious bulge in his pants, which he creates by stuffing a sock in his crotch. And yes, it's a comfirmed sock. We've asked."

Knee Sock Guy

Blogography (Maybe needs a custom sock order....)

!!!News Update!!!

Masi Guy has no life outside of the blogosphere.....

No he did not 3 peat the Adams' Avenue Grand Prix, No he did not stay sober for the evening's events and no he didn't keep the Madwagon Pee Wee in tip top shape (why a man Tim's size would pick a bike that size for a race is anyone's guess).

He did in fact give me Sh*@ for not updating this blog on a regular basis however. So this one is for you Tim.

Who here hasn't at one time wanted....

to be Evel Knievel? The action, the suspense, the glory.....

Well here is your chance! With the help of Harlotwear you to can have wool knee socks with Knievel-like stars running up the back of your legs!

Features include:

*Great quality Sock Guy wool sock
*Superior wool blend for strength and durability
*Itch-free coziness in a kneehigh length - perfect for under armor
*Keep feet warm and dry in all weather conditions
*Arch reads "e=mc2" because Einstein was a rock star

Harlot Wear calls them Einstein but, I think they have missed a great marketing feature.

SockGuy Aerobooties spotted in Denver....

Can you tell me who this racer is?

Employee of the Day (10/26/06)

Well, what can I say without embarassing or offending this person.....


Attributes:

This person doesn't ride a bike (but, does like running), doesn't like Croc's (but does like flip flops), doesn't like Starbucks (but does like the Coffee Bean) and doesn't like Jay-Z (but does like pretty much any other Hip Hop).

She is one of the few people here that has a groove on the dance floor (that doesn't look like some sort of epileptic spasm). She works in our Custom Sock Department........

Introducing Michelle!

Ooops! Where did this come from? No, this isn't Michelle but, she is a real knockout.

Job Security

That's what I call the predicament that I am in. I have been shipping a plethora (Wow two big words, all that reading is helping Capt Cardboards vocabulary) of orders since Interbike. The orders keep rolling in and 90% of them are rolling out. Good Times!

Employee of the Day (10/23/06)

Maybe this person is the employee of the day since they are on vacationand they can't see what I am typing about them......



This person likes pretending to be Mia Hamm (female soccer player), wears Pink women's accessories (belts, backpacks, shoes...), has strange grabbing habits while drinking and laughs very loudly everyday. Yes this one is taken as well........



Introducing Derek!







As seen in this photo he somehow dresses himself every morning. Nevermind the two vixens in the photo with him. That's the closest he has gotten to another woman other than his wife in a long time.

Employee of the day (10/19/06)

This person definitely is the hardest working of the lot. Plus she has to put up the pranks around the office, our attitudes and deal with the clients.

Introducing Rhonda!

Rhonda's attributes include (but aren't limited to) out of context stories about her home life, giggly personality, crunch numbers with the best of them, ability to drink wine (and show up at work without a hangover) and a fun frat mom for us Sock fools.

Rhonda runs our accounting department. The 2R's (Ryan and Rhonda) keep the wheels on this bus rolling. Thanks Rhonda!

Three questions; Rhonda where was this picture taken, who are those ruffians and where did you body go...?

Testimonials for today....

Donny Quixote

Jeff Kerkove Endurance Racer

Employee of the day

Sorry ladies this one is taken.

His attributes include talking to himself in a Austin Powers like accent, telling himself hourly that he is a handsome devil, sells a Sh@*&load of socks and drives a car that most hot young girls drive.

Introducing our Inside Sales Guy for the Northern half of the US....SeanD!




Ooops, where did that come from....



Well, looks like the puppet got around....







Here he is.....that sexy devil! Captain Cardboard just threw up in his mouth when he typed that.

Really, really poor camera phone photo's....

Here is NickO sporting the ever popular SockGuy Bugaboo's* sock system.


This is Norm he is showing off his pair of our "SPU" VLE (Very Limited Edition) sock.


And Last but certainly not least, This is MasiGuy showing that he not only wears SG socks on his feet he likes wearing them in his back pockets!



* Bugaboo sock system- "The world's first convertible sock", Yes that's straight from the packaging.
Hiking? Wear the sock and warmer on a cold morning. Remove the warmer when the temperature rises in the afternoon. In the evening put them back on or use the warmers on your arms.
Rock Climbing? Remove the sock and snug the warmer next to your climbing shoe with the stirrup.
It's not just a sock, it's a piece of equipment!

Yes, they are available! They come in three delicious flavors; Veal (tan), Seaweed (Green) and Haggis (Ash Gray).
