Nothing easier than putting ones socks on right, well that is till one tries to do it in a rush standing up. There is all ways one that doe's not want to cooperate and sticks about ones heel, necessitating all manner of wiggling and keeping one on one foot , this starts the mass and gravity thing, and comes to a point where gravity wins.
Never mind, i like a bit of contrast to the pink skin, and you know you are alive when some thing is throbbing.

Is that a prize? How do I get nominated... the past two months I've broken my finger, torn a groin muscle, bruised a toe ligament or something and got hit in the eye with an ice hockey puck.

Wolram, there's definitely a kind of masochistic pleasure in putting a little bit of pressure on a bruise

I wanted to take a picture of my bruise, but can not get an angle that would not be pornographic.

Have you considered moving somewhere warmer? The less clothes you wear, the less chance of injuring yourself.

Yes, i am looking at several locations, places where one can strut around in the buff, not worry to much about work, and food costs nothing, temperature in the 80s and average humidity, if this place has fossil es or some nice mineral deposits even better.

Don't worry, I'll just clean up this mess and then go back in the kitchen and bring out the other plate of spaghetti.

You're going to walk around nude at the location of the 2010 winter Olympics?

The winter Olympics tend to be held in places where it's cold in the winter

These people are crazy, did the Greeks have olympics in the winter, ah may be that is why their toddgers are so little on the statues, so now i can not emigrate to Vancouver all because of a load of dead people.

It is either naked, or covered, not both.

Unless you are talking about some Schroedinger's wolram.
