To borrow a phrase, “Great Googly Moogly!” There’s a stark raving mad idealist in our midst with definite “progressive” leaning to the left and all you are concerned about is the type of underwear he wears and whether or not they ride up his butt! \ What has become of this forum… \ Does Matt dress to the right or the left? ---

I’ll bet it’s part of a massive government disinformation conspiracy to protect the Reverse-Vampires from the Saucer People, who covet Matt’s underpants. I submit that _they’ve_ gotten to Matt and that the true state of his underpants is unknown! Or better! Like Schrodinger’s Cat, Matt’s Undies are in between eigenstates, neither boxers nor briefs until directly observed by a majority of Dopers! Opinions?

Nice ones. It looks like he’s dressed to the left… let me check. _GASP!_ Sweet mother goddess in OLYMPUS! (clears throat) Dressed to the left as previously stated. (I can die a happy man now.) ---

Who cares? We’d love him even if he had no blood at all. Esprix ---

I think that Matt is an awesome, terrific and wonderful person. I know that wasn’t the OP question, but I wanted to say it anyway. Scotti [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/matt_mcl-is-there-a-cause-you-dont-believe-in/54605.md?page=1)
