After talking with Rick this morning, it sounds like kids these days are really into the high-end, colorful Nike socks. Which one of these pairs is your favorite? Mine are the Flamin' Hot Cheetos!

@jkearney flamin' hot cheetos for sure! $43.57 seems like a steal to be able to replicate a cheeto bag on your shins.

@derek, I love their site. Pretty funny! I think there might be a typo on their rates though. It says "For just $9 a month, we’ll send you a new pair of fabulously bizarre socks." but the pricing looks like it's actually $11. Maybe I'm looking at that wrong though.

@derek does @FootCardigan have Flamin' Hot Cheetos style socks? That's a deal breaker for me.

Always wanted to wear colorful socks, but I think we've all known that "weird guy with the rainbow toe-socks and sandals" and I didn't want to be THAT guy.

Although, I should probably just get over my fears and do it. What's the worst that could happen?

@denboy, I somehow got a pair of shark slippers for Christmas. I didn't even ask for them. This is getting weird.

@jkearney This is insane! My in-laws bought each one of the teen grandkids these overpriced socks for X-mas. I channeled my deceased Uncle Sonny and stepped up on my soap box much to their dismay.
Now, if the Cheetos were Funyuns I could justify the price.

@jimmyd103, Funyuns socks would be great also! Please tell your in-laws to send me some of those socks as well
