You shouldnt have washed them - instead you should have auctioned them on ebay as “used by supermodel” knickers and made a fortune thanx to some perverts. Oh - and if you had wanted to be friendly you could have sent her half the dough you d have made that way. _shakes head_ You spoiled it… The postcard idea and taking travel-photos sounds wonderful to me however! 🙂 b dodgy ---

If you’re going to sell them on eBay, at least sell in piecemeal - say, start at $100.00 a square inch? That’s a lot of…er…dough. ---

I’d like to contribute to the Chicago edition of the panties. I could do the Jordan statue, Wrigley Field, Buckingham Fountain, Lions at the Art Intstitue, the ideas are endless. I may even call in some Chidopers to consult. ---

Apparently the bidding went from $3 to $20 then to $10,000 then to $10,010. What’s so funny is that the guy’s email address who posted the $10,000 bid is at the Tom Green Show. Some Tom Green staffers just effing around. ---

Wow, I really like the idea of sending them on an expedition around the world. However, if you wanted to do something a little more simple, I would go to Victoria’s Secret and buy a nice pair of undies. I would then send them to her husband with a note saying that you thought he might enjoy those more! ---

In all fairness, the “travelling” item idea was not mine originally. A good friend of mine stole a beloved stuffed animal from his cousin in Chicago. Around 3 years later he presented her with the stuffed animal (bear I think) and a photo album full of the places he took it. It was truely inspiring! ---

If I could be so bold, I’d like to make a suggestion, should Shirley Ujest accept this mission: Pack up the flag in a nice roomy box. Include in the box a composition notebook or some other sort of journal. Also include several disposable cameras. Don’t worry about shipping costs, as I’m sure the Teeming Millions would be happy to contribute to sending it off. Maybe if we got a list of addresses of people willing to send it, that would be best, and include address labels in the box as well. So, to sum up: Box Flag (undies) Cameras Journal Address labels Another idea would be to send your friend updates via postcards, telling her (ghostwriting as the Underwear, of course) what she’s been up to as the box is travelling. But these are mere suggestions. ---

I would do that in a heartbeat. I could marry the undies or just take a shot on the strip. Whatever you prefer. hehe ---

I think each Doper who puts on the undies, even if it is on their head, should include with their picture a signed note, or maybe all the signatures should be in one book like a yearbook, and they should all say: “Hi, Shirley’s Friend, I’ve been in your underwear! Love, Doper1” . . . with variations signed Doper2, etc. and so on and so on by everyone who participates. Either that, or you could just tie die them and send them back to her that way, if you were looking for something a little less involved. ---

How about the panties visiting the Windsor Casino? Or the Detroit Renaissance Center? \*\* Since KimKatt already mentioned taking the undies out to the Windsor Casino and the Renaissance Center, I would be willing to take them on a little trip to Hell (Hell, Michigan, that is). They have a sign for the town. I figure I could drape the undies over the sign and take a picture and include the caption “Gone to Hell, nothing to do here.
