Most of y’all don’t live near me, which is fine. But if you DO, I will be on stage again with my good pals Mopcast Network and their Cult Movie Cantina Podcast! We’ll be talking about the film Masters of the Universe from the 1900s. I actually haven’t seen the movie yet, but I’ll fix that by Friday. Which is when the thing is. This Friday. November 17, 2023. Here’s a picture about it!
It’s to help raise money for the Movember Foundation and it’s free and is likely to be a good time, so stop by if you can. Or not, I know it’s short notice. No regular stream on Friday of course, but I’ll try to do a quick IRL gimmick if the signal is good enough.
Thanksgiving traditions
Hard to believe but Thanksgiving (America’s Version) is next week already! In my opinion, Thanksgiving is kind of an afterthought holiday. It has a lot of potential to be a great holiday, it just needs some PR help. We need some Thanksgiving songs! Movies! Costumes? I dunno. Maybe a magic flying turkey that brings mashed potatoes to all the good little boys and girls?
But the main thing that holds it back is how close it is to Halloween and Christmas and whatnot. There are plenty of stretches on the calendar that have no big holidays, let’s put it somewhere it can get more attention. Lots of people have family over for dinner on the last Thursday in November. Then, lots of people do it again a month later on Christmas. You people back already? It’s too much!
New Merch!
I got some new stuff in the Sock Shop if you’re interested!
There’s a hat, some hoodies, a Gimmick Pouch (fanny pack) and whatnot.
If you have any ideas for shirts or anything you’d like to see, let me know! I think most everyone who would want a shirt with my face on it has one already, so I’m down to add some different stuff. I’m not good at sales pitches as you might have noticed.

Whoops, I accidentally left my caps lock on. Anyway here’s some fun/interesting things I’ve seen on the internet.
Bizarre Lies Your Mother Told You
I love hearing stories like these. Were you told any weird lies when you were young? I remember Mama Sock used to get very upset if I tried to open an umbrella indoors. She said it was bad luck.
It’s weird to remember that at one point we were all young and naive. Some of us still are. I try to keep that in mind when I talk to little kids because you never know if what you say will stick with them forever.
*smack smack* Ranch Dressing
What IS ranch dressing?
A short documentary about boring old men
I love this short film. I love “boring” things. Check it out!
That’s all for this one. Smooches for youse and I’ll see you on the internets!
Your pal,
Sock Cop
