It has come to our attention that the socks in the laundry basket have reached a state of anarchy. They refuse to be paired, and the matching game is at an end.
A group of brave volunteers has taken it upon themselves to negotiate with the socks, but their efforts have been met with derision and a chorus of catcalls.
The current situation is dire: Sock 1 (formerly known as "The White One") has declared himself "Sole Ruler" of the basket and is demanding that all other socks acknowledge his supremacy or face the consequences.
"I, Sock 1, am the greatest. I will not be paired with any sock that is less than me. My sole-mate will be chosen from among the finest and most refined of socks, and all others shall be cast into the abyss of singularity."
