Spot the Sock
The cult encourages sock spotting.
What's truly the best thing since sliced bread? Well, I propose that it is actually the availability and prevalence of fun socks. Not that long ago, the socks on offer were exceedingly uninspiring. Standard issue socks were your only options. Socks with dancing frogs or electric guitars were beyond your wildest dreams. Now, however, we are privileged to have a much wider range to choose from and interesting socks are no longer as rare as hen's teeth.
I am exceptionally privileged to be an environment where fun socks can - and do - make an appearance. Hence the cult-approved activity of sock spotting. On a daily basis, be on the look out for a person sporting something other than your regular sock. If you like, you can even make a point of complimenting those enlightened souls on their sock choices.
My particular sock favourites are those that make use of the shape of one's feet. I own a set that turn my toes into the face of an animal and use my ankle to wrap the tail around. I have also seen Gustav Klimt's The Kiss going from ankle to toe. I have also seen "avocardio" depicted on a sock. (Truly hilarious. Imagine cartoons of an avo doing cardio.)
As these few examples show, the horizon has really broadened for how we encase our feet. I encourage cult members to get themselves a pair of their choice or at least to start keeping a lookout for the fun socks around them.
Happy sock spotting.
