Sock Quotations
All I can tell them is pick a good one and sock it. I get back to the dugout and they ask me what it was I hit and I tell them I don't know except it looked good.
Babe Ruth
Never put a sock in a toaster.
Eddie Izzard
I met the guys through a friend of a friend, and their former drummer had quit. I wasn't too familiar with the Chili Peppers before that, so I joined at the end of 88' and we finished recording Mother's Milk at the end of 89', next thing I know I'm in Spin with a sock.
Chad Smith
I grew up doing all that stuff because I was obsessed with the '50s. I had sock hops for birthday parties. So I've always done The Twist and stuff. It was pretty natural and, with my parents doing it all the time, I'd just copy them. Not very pretty.
Brittany Snow
I was in the Chilli Peppers at the time and I asked myself, would I be able to wear a sock on my genitals at the age of forty and they proved me wrong because I guess they're still doing it.
Cliff Martinez
Men greet each other with a sock on the arm, women with a hug, and the hug wears better in the long run.
Edward Hoagland
Knitting is very conducive to thought. It is nice to knit a while, put down the needles, write a while, then take up the sock again.
Dorothy Day
I washed a sock. Then I put it in the dryer. When I took it out, it was gone.
Rod Schmidt
I haven't tucked a sock in my pants for three years.
Hilary Swank
This intellectual Pearl Harbor, a real gutsy sock to the stomach.
J. Allen Hynek
