I think my different kinds of socks are forming gangs to kill eachother off, and they only stop when they're the only one of their kind left.
that or they're having inter-brand marriages and mutant sock-babies. That'd explain the unusually tiny ones. . .

Nonono, blame the dryer.
Washing/drying machines are always responsible for sock disappearances and... deviations.

My dog ate a sock once. Yeah... that was fun.

I fully subscribe to the theory proposed in an episode of Rocko's Modern Life: there are tubes in the back of all dryers which lead to a hellish netherworld where anthropomorphic unmentionables subject our hosiery to various forms of torture until finally destroying them utterly.

Eeeeewww
Quite simply, I will never look at my socks the same again.

Is one of them a sock-baby Jesus, sock-savior to the sock-people?

I'm working on a screenplay right now that actually addresses this. Let's just say that it has to do with consciousness, Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, missing socks, and a demigoddess that likes to kick frat boys around public stalls.
Mmm . . .

There's also the theory that the heat and friction of the dryer causes socks to be sent through time or transdimensionally teleported.

How the socks go missing, I couldn't say, but here's a lovely little semi-serious paper on why odd socks are generated:

Damn gremlins . . . can't they just stick to terrorizing small towns and skyscrapers, and leave the socks alone?

He! I definitely didn't do anything in a sock!
And if I did, it would smell worse

I wondered why several of my nasty smelling socks had out of place orange fibers on them. . .

That was a little less nasty that what I had in mind.
