I will not asplain how I found [this](http://images.cafepress.com/product/12436394_240x240_Front.jpg). But I can’t imagine a better way to frighten a would-be lover. It just says…so much.  
Care to share your stories of underwears?  
ETA: If you need a little help, the character’s name is “Hubert Cumberdale.”

If I’m in a position to see somebody’s underwear with her intending that I do so, I don’t expect I’ll care too much what’s on it,.

Meh, I figure as long as I am not wearing my Tuesday underpants on Friday\* I’m good.

\*I do not own days-of-the-week underwear for this very reason. I would not pay attention and I would be wearing my Sunday pair on Wednesday and get taken to the hospital and none of the doctors would want to help me just because I didn’t pay attention when I picked out my panties that morning.

The character’s name did not help. I am so clueless.

I can’t even tell which sex the underwear is for. Or if that’s the front or the back.

Okay, so I wear granny panties myself, so what?

I actually think it was some link from Salad Fingers that turned me onto Sopor Aeternus. I really, really love that comic. My kids think it’s creepy as hell, but they’re hypnotised watching it. I would so love those panties, and I promise you, if I show my daughter, she will beg for a pair, too!

Actually there is no Sunday pair, I’m pretty sure.

Really? Not even skid marks? I’m as hard up as the next guy but if were to see skid marks on a chick’s underwear I wouldn’t… no, nevermind. I would just make sure to stay away from the backside.

I really wish I would have bought the pair of panties I saw at Sturgis that said “Fuck it like you stole it” on the ass. Classic.
