Subject: RE: BS: Solved: Mystery of Missing Socks
No, you're all wrong! It's the sock troll as evidenced by this traditional verse from "When Jones Ale was New."

The next came in was a sock troll
Whose dress was exceedingly droll,
Whose dress was exceedingly droll,
When he joined in the jovial crew;
For he was attired in socks he'd snatched,
Argyle, stripped, and some was patched,
And not a single one did match.
When Jones ale was new, me boys,
When Jones Ale was new!
