Anyone have suggestions/cool places to look (with a good return policy)? He is more of a nerd than a geek, but almost certainly up on most pop culture references.

I'm listening to a Slate podcast in the background and on comes Kevin Young who I think is a guy I was in high school with and we worked on our big papers together in our A.P. English class. A little checking and sure enough, that's the guy. Cool.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Or maybe socks. Cool socks.

No, Kevin is a real guy, not a facsimile made of socks.

I could get my brother the facsimile of a person made of socks. Maybe it could dust and do the laundry.

A sock golem could be useful.

I approve of sock-golem gifts, if they do any sort of sock-related cleaning. Matching of socks? Automatically keeping single socks as part of the golden until the other sock is found?

There's a kids' book there or something. Either the silent golem gathering up the orphaned socks and attaching them to himself so they wouldn't be lonely, or he's the one who takes the socks because he's lonely himself.
I wish I could draw the pictures in my head.
