i have this pair of socks. i will never get rid of them. not because they are charlotte hornets socks (i got them in a tin with a charlotte hornet cap that i innocently used to call "old horney") or because they have 'arch support', or because they are probably the warmest socks i own. i guess i will never throw out these socks, despite how bad they get, because they are the oldest socks i own -- maybe the oldest pair of socks anyone has owned. i mean i think i was maybe nine or ten when i got them, back when basketball cards were rad even though it wasn't even a popular sport and you'd wear the merchandise of teams you've never seen a game played by.
hell, i'm wearing these socks right now and, come to think of it, i've never watched any game of professional basketball the whole way through. so these socks really mean something, in some weird way, that i have yet to figure out yet i suppose.
