Rock out with your sock out!

About Me

I am a sock monkey. I am NOT a sock PUPPET! I live in Chicago with a nice girl. My best friend's name is Ollie. We live in a sock monkey sanctuary together. There are many monkeys here, as well as some other types of sock critters. I give good advice. If you mess up, I will thump you on the head. Look at my photos to see a close up of me and Ollie, too. I like nanners, peanuts and veggie dogs. I don't eat meat.

Nice people and sock critters. Those who like hot dogs and dance parties. Birds. No mean squirrels that bite. Yay! "The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed." Carl Jung (1875 - 1961)
