I wonder if James Lileks knows about this, in case he wants to use it in his Interior Desecration book… Robin ---

This is all far too strange. I’m reminded of one of the \* Hot Shots Part Deux\* where they show Saddam using a DirtDevil to pleasure himself. And somehow, the boxer short thing is disturbing, too. I mean, he’s a really bad guy, but now we have his underwear. It’s just too much. ---

Somehow, spooky-ooky bad guys just lose some of their aura when you capture their underpants. “Alright Marines, we’ve had a tough fight, and I know you guys want some leave…but let’s GO IN THERE AND FIND SADDAM’S UNDEROOS!” ---

Oh man, I laughed so hard reading this thread. Whitesnake Saddam… _lapses into giggles_ “Okay, I cast ‘Anti-American Aura!’” _dungeon master rolls dice_ “Sorry man, they succeeded on their Will save- no effect. You’re outnumbered and outgunned.” _players in unison_ "RUN AWAY! RUN AWAY!\* (Yes, I am a geek. 😃 ) ---

Well, its not like underwear is a dangerous weapon. (unless it is used to do an atomic wedgie, of course.) ---

So in related news, they found Saddam’s son Uday’s place… the picture of the U.S. servicewoman in this TIME article is pretty good. ([http://www.time.com/time/covers/1101030421/wuday.html#](http://www.time.com/time/covers/1101030421/wuday.html#)) ---
