toe socks and Mary Jane

I timed myself, today, as I tried to put on my toe socks as quickly as possible (I'm testing the socks by doing a 14K walk tonight). It took me marijuana time to put them on: 4 minutes, 20 seconds. I'll see if I can figure out ways to do this even faster. Right now, the strategy seems to be to do the big toe first, since that's the easiest, then to do the pinky toe, followed by the middle toes. If anyone has a better strategy, let me know. When I'm walking across the country in October, I don't want to be spending an extra five minutes every damn morning just wrestling to get my toes into the little toe pockets.

  1. I'd never heard of that "marijuana time" reference before. I must have been stoned, and I missed it.

  2. I made that reference up—just saw 4:20 and thought, "Yeah! Marijuana time!" It's aaaallll good.

  3. That seems like an incredibly long time to put on socks, considering that it takes a matter of seconds to put on regular socks. I kind of want to see a video of you doing this now.

    And, no, I don't have any particular strategy recommendations, unfortunately.
