Even with $50,000 through the Black Market, our sources said it would\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve taken at least a couple of days.<\/p>\n<p>The iPod Socks come in a six-pack, with each box containing a gray, pink, blue, green, purple, and orange two-toned sock.  They are supposed to be used as cases for the popular iPod.<\/p>\n<p>Being a manly man, I will not be caught using the pink iPod Sock.  I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t care if pink is the new black.  I had a horrible experience with wearing the color pink.  <\/p>\n<p>The last time I wore pink was to a junior prom.  My date wore a pink and white dress and wanted to match, so she <strike>suggested<\/strike> made me wear a white tuxedo with a pink tie and cummerbund.  I can&#8217;t believe I did that just so I could go to the junior prom as a sophomore.  <\/p>\n<p>When we went to the prom, it turned out that I was the ONLY guy in a white tuxedo.  The only way I could\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve stood out more was if I wore a pink and white top hat with a neon sign that said, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Look at me!  I&#8217;M LAME.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>The iPod Sock fits nicely over my third generation iPod, which will keep it nice and warm during these cold winter months.  However, when I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m using an iPod Sock I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have access to the controls, which is a problem when I desperately don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want to listen to my ex-girlfriend\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Backstreet Boys and New Age music that I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m too lazy to remove from my iTunes library.   <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/rcm.amazon.com\/e\/cm?t=theimpulsivbu-20&#038;o=1&#038;p=8&#038;l=as1&#038;asins=B0006JMX14&#038;fc1=000000&#038;lc1=0000ff&#038;bc1=&#038;lt1=_blank&#038;IS2=1&#038;bg1=ffffff&#038;f=ifr\" width=\"120\" height=\"240\" scrolling=\"no\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"float:right;padding-left:10px;border:none;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Despite making wonderful iPod warmers, the iPod Socks are one-dimensional.
