What?

What do you expect when you come at me with useless trivia?

It's on like Donkey Kong!

Also, speaking of DK, the music that plays during the first stage in Donkey Kong Country, in the level called "Jungle Hijinx", is actually three demo tracks pieced together.

Maybe it's called a footlet cuz it LETS the FOOT do something for which I do not know?

You know, the definition of footlet is: 'a low sock for women covering either the whole foot below the ankle or only the toes, worn for protection or warmth'. So, that means all socks that rest beneath the ankle are footlets.

Hmmm....

What happens if you have an ankle sock that shrunk in the dryer and now rests below the ankle...is it then transformed from an ankle sock into a footlet?

Also this convo is my first ever introduction to the word "footlet" and already it's annoying me. This sock needs to be renamed, if only for the sake of my sanity...
