A Sock Puppet is a mystical creature known for manipulating the world from the comfort of their favorite couch, usually while wearing a pair of fuzzy socks. They are feared and revered in equal measure.
To create a Sock Puppet, first, you must find a sock that is at least 90% full of despair. Then, tie the sock into knots and whisper ancient incantations to awaken its spirit. Be careful not to get your fingers tangled in the process.
Risks include but are not limited to: getting your sock caught in the washing machine, losing the remote control to the TV, or being forced to watch reruns of "The Great British Baking Show".
If you find yourself involuntarily using the phrase "I'm not a Sock Puppet, but I play one on TV" in everyday conversation, it's probably time to confront the truth.
The perks include but are not limited to: having an excuse for everything, never having to get off the couch, and being the only one who truly understands the meaning of "I'm just here for the snacks".
