    You might just email them from their site and ask about getting some directly.
    This may involve bribery or pleading.

    You don't want those Foot Traffic socks. The pair I have are pretty
    cheap-looking, and more importantly, just aren't going to fit any
    reasonably sized male cyclist very well, a combination of tree-trunk
    calves and the fact these are meant to fit women.

    No, seriously, I bought a pair, and I wear them, but they're not as nice
    as they could be. I bought the red, white and black ones (they match my
    team kit).

    After researching the whole knee-high argyle sock affair, it's clear the
    only good option is to buy socks meant to go with golf knickers:

    http://www.golfknickers.com/cotblenarsoc.html

    On the upside, I think they can match both the standard Rock Racing
    "monsterbarf" color scheme, and the new red/black barbed-wire variant.

    The reason I haven't ordered these socks for myself is that with
    shipping, we're talking around $40. That's hard to justify. Instead, I
    just bought about $30 worth of Unibroue tonight, which seemed a better
    choice.

    For the record, I think the One True (not-really-racing) Aesthetic
    involves the correct pair of these argyle golf socks, a set of Rapha's
    plus-four cut cycling knickers, and a wool jersey that matches the socks
    (or vice versa).

    You really aren't cool until you've got a belly button sponsor (tattooing
    optional; you even get a Magilla one:

    That's...so wrong. But funny!

    How smart does a 45-year-old feel when he has a tattoo like that?

    When Times Square, NYC was still grotty I saw a wooden
    carved effigy of a fist with middle finger raised. I
    laughed and laughed and bought one. All I can say is
    I'm glad it was not a tattoo.

    As much as I try to put my pet primates out of my mind, you mfrs won't
    allow it.

    Guess it depends on whether he thinks he has to be a good little cog
    in the nice little machine now, and not think, or do anything that
    would offend anyone.
    I used to think it was fun to watch people [censored] their pants over
    harmless [censored], but now they kick you out of school, pass laws, and in
    Euro/Canada take your money or lock you up for offending people now.
    Seems to me it's even more important to offend those [censored] today.
    I don't think there's any danger of Howard and I feeling bad about
    [censored] like that, or pissing off small minded morons no matter how old
    we get. Hell If I make it to 80 I wanna get together with Howard,
    drink some beers, moon a bunch of evangelicals, then [censored] on the
    latest politician who's saving us from ourselves. By then I won't be
    able to hear my kids [censored] the Metal I like to listen too is too
    loud either. Have to play some Mercyful Fate for those evangelicals
    too.

    If he can still see the tattoo without resorting to a mirror, then he might feel
    pretty smart.

    Yes, unlike the other commentators, I think you sorta get what I'm
    edging towards. Mind you, I'm in my mid 30s and I own a Nintendo DS and
    Wii, so perhaps I shouldn't fret so much about the maturity issues
    others might be facing.

    But back to tattoos:

    "Take your current age, now subtract ten years from it. Were you smart
    back then?"
