Humor Is Good, Except This Time


I brought six pears pairs of boxers, you know, men's underwear, undergarments, that kind of stuff, with me on the trip. The hotel has "misplaced" five pair.

What I am to do? I have this picture in my head that a whole bunch of people are frantically looking around the hotel for my misplaced boxers now.

I can't say I have ever had this happen. I really hope I get them before I check out.

Update: They were found. I knew you all would have a field day with this post. So typical. Clowns! The lot of you! ;-) As for the ladies in the You Tube Video. Here's some humor for you: I am so out of touch with African-American dialect and so in touch with the Indian one right now I could hardly understand them. I mean, they need to add some Indian spice and 'botheration' and then I could get it. I'm in deep over here! Someone help me!

What will it cost in India to replace them? How much in the USA?

I bought apples. Put properly, pairs perhaps?

while in India. Silk is nicer than cotton--get 12 pairs/pears, likely for the same price or lower, that you'd pay if you were home. Silk is softer and cooler for wearing in hot climates.

Silk underwear is just way too loosey goosey - the boys need some restrictions...

how about tight? Do it for the girls. We love the feel of silk or the look of nice tight pants on guys. Boxer shorts are so boooooring. Step out of your conservative cocoon. Be brave. Just do it! This pic is the most modest of examples on this site.

I don't quite know how to say this, but this site is rather like Tom of Finland: it wasn't really intended for the goilz.

... The rise of gay culture has meant that the celebration of male beauty is no longer in the shadows. It has gone mainstream. So now straight men are emulating their gay counterparts and becoming far more style conscious.

The loosening up of gender roles has also resulted in young straight men increasingly investigating style and fashion. While being well groomed used to be seen as effeminate, nowadays it is considered an integral part of heterosexual masculinity. Today's young women, being more demanding than in the past, have added to this trend by requiring that their partners are not mere slobs in t-shirts and grubby jeans, but smartly dressed and exuding style and self respect.

These young, fit, style conscious men even have their own title. They are “metrosexuals”.

Today's male sporting stars are more often than not metrosexuals. They are role models to millions all over the world, and enjoy a level of celebrity as great as any movie idol. Not surprisingly, several of these stars including David Beckham and Pat Rafter have decided to take advantage of their fame by venturing into the men's underwear market!

These forces combine to create the phenomenon we see today: young fit, style-conscious men – both gay and straight – who have money to burn are exercising their considerable economic clout through their choice of clothing, particularly underwear and swimwear.

Many online businesses have developed to satisfy this demand. One of the most successful is DealByEthan.com. A thriving mail-order site based in Perth, Western Australia, it caters to customers all over the world by shipping from multiple warehouses in the USA, South America, Asia and Europe.

DealByEthan.com sells a huge range of sexy, stylish metrosexual and gay men's clothing and accessories at excellent prices, with fast and affordable worldwide shipping.

beneath your cool, new, silk, boxer underwear. Ultra sexy for your girlfriend, wife, or significant other! Men frequently wear jock straps when playing sports to avoid injury--manly men wear them. :-)

Women have been wearing foundation underwear for decades that add to their appearance making their clothes hang better. Good underwear frequently exceeds the cost of outer wear--makes inexpensive clothing appear more costly.

Men are becoming more aware of how they look. Gone should be the days of jeans that don't flatter the male figure. The grunge look died years ago--men who don't have butts should wear padding. Women wear padded bras when they don't quite have enough to appear shapely--why shouldn't the male gender do likewise? Surely you're not retarded think women don't notice? Most women, including seniors, that I know admire nice buns! Be a hottie, life's too short to be otherwise.

Chaddi dance L0L

canuck February 20, 2009 - 1:34am

tell me that's not from the pinkchaddi group. no wonder people are up in arms about western culture. eh. I guess it just lacks the finesse and charms of belly dancing. man, I'm getting prudish in my old age, but if I hear another young woman whine about getting no respect for her mind, I'm pointing to this video. what are these girls? 15? they can't dance either!

dk February 20, 2009 - 1:41am

but they seem to have the rhythm down pat! It's not something I'd be able to do and admire that they were having fun making up their dance.

Where were you when Elvis Presley was banned for being too sexy? No I didn't question his intellectual abilities at the time. I did in later years suspect that Tom Jones added a sock to his tight pants. :-)

canuck February 20, 2009 - 2:07am

you're right. I was a gleam in my Daddy's eye when Elvis was shot from the waist up. I'm conflicted on the subject, but this is a humor thread, so I'll keep my humor about it :) these girls say it best tho:

if you're gonna shake your ass, shake it w/ class....

I'm probably one of the few people on this board that can understand every word on the vid, despite the crappy audio.

I didn't understand it either before I moved to the ghetto 8 years ago. But now it has infected my mind, and I can't speak the white man's "proper english" to save my soul. Sometimes I wonder if this dialect developed as a means to exclude the privileged class from listening to their conversations. But it's not. I can hear the roots of every inflection, and sometimes they're surprising. Lots of biblical references in the black street lexicon. and prison slang. Like understanding Spanish in Mexico, you get your 'props' when you can respond in kind. (woe unto you when you can't) It's a very dynamic dialect. No one has a bigger vocabulary than the Black preacher man, but damn if they ever use the words as intended in Merriam Webster. So the dialect keeps changing in unexpected ways. There's definitely a gift for language in the ghetto that goes unappreciated by the higher classes. (still, rap music often eludes my old ears)

Anyhow, the ghetto is a completely different culture from the rest of amerikkka. The girls in this video could write a better master's thesis than many I've seen, just based on their ideas alone. And I'm guessing they can turn on "white speak" whenever they want.
but y'all ain't evah gonna know. Transcriptions by Faulkner, Zora Neale Hurston, or Toni Morrison seem to fuck up most casual readers.
get in where ya fit in.
but I'll always be a square peg, wherever I go :)

you, SP, steep yourself in India like one of those good teas.
Long and strong.
go native, son. ...ditch the skivvies! ;>

which is the more comment-worthy post--this, or the "My ass is sore in Mysore" one.
