The Panty Rebellion? Of course, we men did this in 1900. It was called … … the Boxer Rebellion. [sub]C’mon. _Somebody_ had to. ---

bella has brightened my day exponentially. I vote you High Commander of the SD Order of Panty Haters. As long as I can be Sargent at Arms. It’s also heartwarming to see so many guys showing love for our little support group. (Wipes tear away) Carry on soldiers! ---

**Cherry** , Sergeant at Arms?! Wouldn’t you rather be _General[sub]ly[/sub] Breezy_? Maybe _Major Hoo Ha, the Unclad_? At the very least, Sergeant at Legs [sub](or Bottom…or Hoo Ha.)[/sub] I know, either way, _I’d_ salute you 😉 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Cherry\_Blossom\_ \* > **I mean, you don’t wrap something up unless you’re giving it as a gift.** I think it’s okay to go without occasionally, but I think that there’s nothing better than pretty wrapping paper. Wrapping paper is good stuff. It is, after all, the last thing your fingers touch before you get inside the package. ---

There’s still time before Christmas, though. And, no it doesn’t have to be wrapped. ---

Let me just add a hearty “Aaaaamen” to this thread. I cast off the tyranny that is underwear, (panties _and_ bras) years ago, and life is soooo much more comfortable. While it is true, you can’t wear pants more than one time before washing, I think the inconvenience is more than made up for by the sheer comfort and convenience that is a one-layer life. So, I’m with **belladonna** , **Cherry Blossom** , and **Rachelle**. Underwear is evil! ---
