That works much better if you stuff a tennis ball in it first. You can throw it much farther away. Also, its a way of getting rid of "tired" tennis balls.

Make for a nice carry pouch. I used them for under the seat storage on bicycles for years.
Fill, twist, fold over again and strap under the seat.
Like others have said, a perfect mace too. Double the socks, fill with roll of pennies, apply as needed for relief from 'Din do nuffin' types.

For God's sake, man! Shoot them now lest the zombie socks rise!

OK, maybe not that amusing, but it's raining cats & dogs here. Many days in a row. The mosquito hordes have carried off several purse dogs :O

Rain, mosquitos, what are these things that you speak of? Ain't got them things here in the desert. At least not lately.
I've been storing handguns in new cotton socks for over 20 years. Old "footsy" worn sock go in the trash.
There are tons of good uses for old cotton socks. I use them for finishing the furniture I build. I use wipe on poly and socks work great. They're also good for gun cleaning. I cut patches for bore cleaning and I use whole socks to wipe down my guns. Never let them go in the trash.

I use stray and old black, dark blue dress socks for thermos and water bottle camo/coozies in the woods hunting. Beats labels and shiny aluminum flashing about, helps with insulation and noise also. Just wash them first.

Take a heavy wool sock. fold over half way inside out, put a large bar of soap in it and stitch shut. Makes great camping wash cloth, also good for shop sink!
If my socks are dead, it's because my feet kilt 'em. I only pick them up with tongs, or wearing rubber gloves.
On a related note, my dogs keep eating the [seat] out of my dirty undershorts. What's up with that?

My old Crew's have no sole .......... so I feel like a heel trying to repurpose them......... some end up in a sweat as they wait their final fate in "sock purgatory"*.
