Correction from previous post

Apologies for my delay between posts. I've been out jogging in the canyons, and getting ponytail whipped by the (bitches!) women that patrol these neighbourhoods in matching tracksuit tops and pants (that's trousers for the English contingent). But don't worry my friends. I'm growing my hair, sharpening my ponytail into a weapon to be reckoned with. No little frappacino drinking, Juicy Couture wearing, botox injected slag is gonna get in my way when I'm done. Or any crazy religious people that accost me at the bus stop and insist on telling me how freakin' thankful we should be to god for our existence, and then proceed to catch the next two buses as me and not stop preaching at me for 45minutes. If there's any reason that justifies violence, I may have just found it.

But I digress. The point of this post is to stand up in public and say I was WRONG. Yes, I can say that word. Just.

First, let me visually recap:

I was WRONG to say that my unnamed scientist friend was sporting the socks and sandal look. I was informed by the said scientist last night that they aren't actually socks, but booties. BIG difference apparently. I proposed he was actually wearing women's tennis socks with the pom poms cut off. He duly admitted he has a drawer full of cut off pom poms at home.

So in conclusion, it would seem that scientists of this era aren't wearing socks and sandals, so much as they are women's tennis booties and hyrbrid sandal/sneaker combos. Oh and beards too. Can someone explain why a: most scientists are men, and b: why beards are the standard? Is there something I'm missing (clearly a beard being in a science department), but apart from that??

ps Bec, they are not still socks. That Wikipedia definition states that socks are designed to be fashionable (among other things). I rest my case.
