I went to that high school! Thank God that’s over with. If the underpants are into golf I can get a picture of them outside of Augusta National. Not that I can get in – they would turn down God Himself if he didn’t have a pass – but outside the fence, sure. I hate golf, BTW. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by techchick68 \* > If this is done, WE HAVE to get the package back to Shirley, with a donation of funds, have the pictures developed and they all have to be posted on the web. I just had a thought, if this makes sense. The participants could mail or e-mail their pictures and diary entries back to Shirley and techchick while they send the underwear (and flag or other accessories 🙂 ) on to the next participant. That way the package won’t keep growing, which could be important if this goes international, and there might be less risk of losing things. The pics and diary entries could even go up on a web page as they come in: “Next week, Shirley’s friend’s underwear goes to Paris!” ---

Shirley, Have you thought about stuffing the socks too and attaching them to the leg holes of the panties? If you’re pretty crafty you could use something like styrofoam tubes or blocks in the socks to make them like legs to help prop up the panties. It’d look really cute too! I’d be glad to do it if you’ll send them to me! ---

I humbly volunteer to take photos of the underwear in front of Alpha Delta. (That would be the frat that the movie Animal House is based on.) ---

One time I was coming out of a club in Windsor, ON with some other people and I found a woman’s tube top on the hood of my car. (Yes, I looked around for a corresponding topless woman, but didn’t see one.) I took the top home and hung it on my bedroom mirror for about six months before I finally threw it out 🙂 ---

Is it just me, or does this seem a little odd? * * * On a (slightly) more serious note, I can get a pic of the undies skiing the Birkebeiner, here in Hayward, WI 🙂 ---

Shirley, I pledge to take the undies on a tour of white trash/redneck locales! I can take them to the spot where an elephant was tried and hanged for murder! I can take them to see the all the little mountain craft stores! Please send them to me too!! ---

How about sitting on the bow of the USS Alabama, or in front of one of the Blue Angles airplanes. ---

I’ve hit a bit of a snag…After I brought the underwear out of the dryer, I realized they belong to my friends 11 year old daughter. They are kiddies size 12. I think this thing is still waaaay doable. I mean, what 11 year old wouldn’t find it funny ( after the mortification passed.) I’m not sure how I managed to think they were hers. Sleep deprivation does that. I was thinking that signing the underpants would be a hoot. When’s the Boston Marathon? THAT would be funny!! Anyone have an audience with the Pope coming up? However, nonwithstanding. I have the clean underwear, a couple of disposable cameras ( four, there was a sale…I’m telling you , the planets are aligning for us on this one) and a notebook ( and a pen, too.) All I need is a box and a plan. Should I collect the list of all the volunteers addresses now or what? ---

Oh, and I was toying with the idea of sewing buttons for eyes on the sock and making them sock puppets. ( That is the level of my domestic skills in that department) If I can find the socks. ::::whisper:::I kinda already stuffed them in my sock drawer…is that bad? ---

Should I use a teddybear? Lord knows I have a few of them around here. I sure one of them would be more than willing to volunteer for this right and mighty cause. ---

Count me in, Shirley. I _was_ gonna send the undies to work with my husband and get a photo of them aboard the USS Nimitz… but, if that doesn’t work out (the ship is in the shipyard being worked on and may be off limits to photos) I can find another photo-op. There are all kinds of Navy and/or historical sites around here. Oh, oh! Then I can send them to San Diego and have my brother get a photo of the undies jumping out of an airplane or fighting a fire or something! BTW, the teddy bear idea isn’t a bad one. A teddy bear wearing undies and socks is pretty funny (although not _quite_ as funny as a pair of undies on a flag pole) and may be less emBEARassing for the 12 year old. ---
