Thanks for the thought **gonzoron**. Having a 3 1/2 wanting to play along is a crimp in the deal, but there you go. Once he gets good at games, we’re Jake as can be. It’s just getting there that’s the problem. But we have a letter in Santa’s inbox that might help things out. And if I don’t get enough attention _I’m_ taking off my pants. And my shirt. You. Have. Been. Warned. ---

Hey, **Rue**! I’ve got some extra Christmas cards. Want one? Email me your addy and I’ll send you one. [sub]Phew! Was that quick enough, folks???[/sub] ---

Place your bets - what kind of UnderRoos[sup]TM[/sup] does **Rue** wear? My first guess is Spiderman, but he just might go with My Little Pony to mess with our minds. C’mon, toss a buck in the pot and make your prediction! ---

I think that **Rue** has the Ursula K. LeGuin underroos. ---

I sincerely hope he has _something_ on under there! I’m betting the Incredible Hulk. Isn’t that what all us manly men wear? ---

**Rue** has always struck me as more of a Spongebob type. Just my opinion. ---

Batman! I mean, just like Batman, **Rue** is always prepared, so it figures it’s because of the underwear. ---

I thought it was the Boy Scouts that are always prepared?? Do Boy Scouts wear Batman Underroos? ---

Well, I don’t know about _boy_ scouts, but this GIRL scout always wanted Wonder Woman underoos. But I never got 'em. ☹ ---

I’m sure we’ll support you, regardless of which you decide to do. And if you wear them with tight, shiny pants, burly men will bring you cookies and beer. ---

I can’t believe no one else cares to speculate about **Rue** ’s UnderRoos! This should be _The Hot Topic Of The Year!_ ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by ShibbOleth \* > \*\*I think that **Rue** has the Ursula K. LeGuin underroos. \*\* I don’t think this should have struck me as funny as it did. But there you go. Today’s underwear is a new pair. Nay blue boxer briefs. Just so we’re all up to speed. Unfortunately I don’t have cartoon characters to enfestinate (that would be “to decorate festively”- English is a live language and it keeps growing) my loins. More the pity. Hey **Scout** , if you show up sometime, I could _draw_ Wonder woman on your underpants if you want. Or if you decide to forgo skivvies altogether, I could draw Wonder Woman wherever you wanted. As a service to you and Girl Scouts everywhere. -Rue. (prepared without licensed character underpants) ---

I would _love_ it if burly men would bring me cookies and beer. And as a bonus to the burly men, I don’t drink beer - so that means that while _I_ get the cookies, _YOU_ get the beer! So everyone wins! Line starts to the left… 😃 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Rue DeDay \* > \*\* \ > Today’s underwear is a new pair. Nay blue boxer briefs. \*\* I’m wondering about Nay blue. Does this mean the boxer’s are _not_ blue? Or is there a shade of blue known as nay? Or are they boxer’s that indicated that **Rue** is uninterested in anyone ( **the Little Woman** presumedly) seeing his boxers, or even that he is uninterested in anything involving this region of his anatomy? Or am I just trying to be the thread killer for the third time in a row? ---

ummmm… I claim the rights to all burly men bearing beer and cookies. After all, it’s my fantasy! 😃 Maybe **Rue’s** boxer briefs are nay blue because they once were blue but he put em in with the whites and bleached em so now they’re all gray like with a tint of blue. That sounds like it’d be nay blue. I’m wearing boxers from Old Na **v** y today. They’re beige and they got pictures of tools on em. Hammers, screws, saws, drills and such. Guess that makes em butch Old Na **v** y boxers. -swampbear (also wearing my cute little lab puppy tie) ---

v Oh, there it is. I thought it was lost. I was turning my computer upside down (Don’t do this. The stuff that falls out of your keyboard can be disturbing.) looking for it. But there it is. It was stuck to my shoe for some reason. ---

Today is my little sister’s birthday. This doesn’t mean all that much to you, but I have so many sisters that even if you knew me you would probably be confused as to exactly which one I meant. It’s the birthday of the sister who just had a baby boy this week. And tomorrow is mine. That makes three birthdays in less than five days, just in my immediate family. Apparently, early spring makes the women in my family “frisky”. ---
