Sock Puppets?

Could someone explain to me what is the meaning of "sock puppets" used on this blog? Seems to go back before my time...


"Sock puppets" was a genius terminology by someone on the O's LTE thread referring to an individual who has more than one account, thus multiple personalities on the thread - sometimes conversing to himself/herself and definitely "recommending" his/her posts.

Now, can someone tell me what you win if you have the most recommended post?

Larry asks what the author of the most recommended post wins.... if it's one of the Socks, how about the title of "Dipshit of the Day"?

Lunch with Sondrak?

Anon, that would likely be a "lunch for one"! LOLOL

Aw, one of the Puppets is lonely. Larry, you are a cruel bastard.

A cruel bastard I am....


I posted that Sarah Palin is probably celebrating her FOX contract.

AtG, she wasn't lonely for long.

Too good to let the Zip swallow this.

Ode to Cheesburger and Achmed:


Lost and all alone

I always thought that I could make it on my own, since you left I hardly make it through the day,

my tears get in the way and I need you back to stay.


I wander through the night and search the world to find the words to make it right,

all I want is just the way it used to be with you here close to me

I've got to make you see...

With SK's claws up your ass it's lonely and painful being a Sock.

And she said that to OlyKay, probably the nicest person on the forum!
Yeah, I guess the new and improved SK of yesterday was TRULY wishful thinking!
What was that "insane Klan posse" Or IKP for short, I like that!

Sparkle:

It's like her "Goodbye Cruel, Olympian" and "Crappy Lives" routines.

They never last beyond a day or so.

Bi-polar?

Anon_the_Great, should I recognize the words to your poem/song? Can almost hear (the late) David Ruffin channeling it.

Shall we review a golden oldie or two from Sockville that deserve the light of day again?

Wow. Here, Larry....the moment you've been waiting for... Goodbye psycho ward. It's all yours. May you all rot in the pit that is this place. I am so out of here. Later mooks
