so i always perfered the good old bouncy socks and feel they are just more comfey and fun...but lighting a sock on fire isnt the best idea so i decided to ... do it anyway i guess. the socks have a coat hanger ring tied by a cable crimpey thingie sewn into their folded in toe, there is then an cutelly cut beer can that covers the sock a little and has eyelits for the two crossing supporting wires. which are through the sock over the ring, and attached to a string that runs up to the knot(so if the socks should burn the wick wont walk away from me.
) the wicks are some old monkeys fists my rommate beefy donated casue he broke the eyebolt out, they have the wire shovved under one of the inner sets of rope. they havnt exactally been burnt yet but when they are i will post if they work as well as i am hopen...
so why all the sock talk...
