Where does the other sock go? I keep losing one out of each pair.

It goes off to pair with another sock, until it gets bored and gets lost again.

Such are the tales of the traveling sock.

My favorite explanation is the one from the Jacob Two-Two cartoon where the dryer is a portal to a parallel dimension where they use socks as currency and your socks are being taken by inter-dimensional sock bandits.

That kind of stuff is just so unfair, just so unfair!

Also
Dish soap is no substitute for body wash, body wash is no substitute for shampoo, and sham poo is no substitute for REAL poo.

Just because you like something doesn't mean it's good; as a corollary, just because you don't like something doesn't mean it's bad.

You can like something and acknowledge that it isn't a quality work, as is the case with a guilty pleasure. You can also dislike something and acknowledge that it is well-made and appeals to many other people. A surprising lot of people are not able to comprehend this.

If you never wear matching socks in the first place the whole missing socks thing is a non-issue. This is what I do.

This is my view too, but it's more a philosophy than a true. It implies that you believe that there is objective "good" and "bad", while many people believe that when it comes to that everything is subjective and that each person had his own set of "good" and "bad" that is equally objective. Others, again, believe that good=enjoyable, which I find a bit shakey since "enjoyable" is such loosely defined term and since nothing is enjoyable to all people, but still you'll often find, say, comic reviewers saying that the comic is good because it was entertaining, so I guess it's widespread belief.

Speaking about shampoo, dishwashing liquid, etc, those cheap buy-a-tub-for-a-buck shampoos are the most versatile cleaning liquid in the world. That shit will eat your head, so just a drop in the worst crusted on food melts it away. Seriously, kills any and all grease better than any oxyclean.
