Me, too, Persephone. The only ones that don’t seem to disappear are the colors I don’t like, or the white ones. [hijack]I wish the stores in my area would stock more of the prints…usually all I can find are solids and white. Which makes it all the worse when the prints I have keep disappearing.\*

There seems to be a common link here:

Women everywhere are losing their panties!

Is it a conspiracy?  
Are the panty manufacturers hiring gremlins to rip us off so we will keep buying more panties?

Is there a correlation between Cheif Scott’s shore leave and panty dissapearances?

Yep. I washed those panties last week, and now they’re hanging out a window at a party that Chief is hosting.

How does he _do_ that?
