(The FBI sock patrol is searching high and low) Hello and and high up in the sky my socks are flying away on a UFO. The Martian (they always blame them) rotates the orbital blimp into place. The vacuum sucks: up, up, up go my socks into space. My space socks are floating up high: hello Martian and goodbye: my socks go fly... More..

Sports & Recreation > Football (Other) Predictions for the 2009 NFL Season: 1 of 4
