Don’t forget a picture of 'em in front of the White House.

Here is the seperate email account for everyone to send in their addresses to who want to be apart of this historic trip.

[TravelingUndies@netscape.net](mailto:TravelingUndies@netscape.net)  
I promise not to sell or smite anyones name and address to the junk mail demons. ( Not that I would know how too.)

If anyone has any trips or events coming up and need the bear by a specific date, lemme know.

I think I have a box, I’ll find out if it’s the right size tonight when my husband brings it home from work.

Roll Call on the Underwear Bear Travel Log:

I have a connection that has friends in Brazil and Japan, so we can add those two to the list and I myself have friends in England and Germany. Not that I’m bragging.

What? No pagan rituals to perform coming up?

:::sigh::::: frankly, I’m disapointed.

I suppose I’ll just have to find someone else to sacrifice the virgins in these underpants for educational purposes.

I’m signed up. 🙂

**Shirley** , I love the teddy bear idea. I’m voting for that one.

RE: forwarding the pics - for anyone with a digital camera - very cool idea. Perhaps those people could take both a shot with the disposable camera to keep that whole set together, and one with the digital to forward. **techchick** , if you do up a site, which is a FANTASTIC idea, would it be possible to post a map of the world showing all of the places the undies have been so far?

Heh.

I still don’t have a box yet. And I haven’t found the bear to volunteer yet.

Everyone, please email me if you want to be in on this ground breaking trip.

I think this is absolutely hilarious. ( Wasn’t something like this featured in People Magazine a while back?)

KimKatt,

If these go international I will need to find a world map as the only one I can think of that I have is of the US. I will look through my stuff though.

Also, just FYI Shirley, if this happens then I will pop it up on a Geocities site or some other free site so you can have access to it.

\*\* Underwear Update! \*\*

After further scrutiny of these skivvies, it has been decided that the underpants are not my friends daughters as the fact they are just too, well, un-girl size-ish.  
A phone call to my friend, who is still on the road with her kids and mom, has confirmed ( brace yourselves) that the underpants belong to my friends MOM.

This is absolutely great.

I love her mom.

So…I just thought everyone who has emailed me at [Travelingundies@netscape.net](mailto:Travelingundies@netscape.net) (and those who haven’t jumped on the bandwagon -Pssssst, everyone is doing it) should know this late breaking news.

I hear by christen this tour:\*\* The most fun you can have without your underpants on.\*\*

It is the “personal experience” of some of these posters that has me worried. The term “sloppy seconds” just keeps racing through my mind…

You need help Shirley. Lot’s of help. (Well, at least some good suggestions! ;))

So we’re no longer scarring an 11-year-old for life, but a sweet old lady. Even better! 🙂

Keep the stuufed animal idea (less likely to lose the undies).  
And we can name it **UnderBear**.

Oh my God! This thread is the most hilarious one I’ve ever read! I’d volunteer my services, but I live in Louisiana, and there’s nothing great here. Well, except for New Orleans, but I live too far away from there.

Hey, sometimes some of the most out-of-the-way places are the best! Biker bar? Local museum dedicated to farm implements? Odd-shaped civic sculpture? Gator sanctuary? Find something!

[tongue-in-cheek]  
Prove to me that Louisiana isn’t full of crawfish-munching, Tabasco-swilling, cross-dressing-at-mardi-gras, yeehawing yahoos.  
[/tongue-in-cheek]  
Roommate lived there for awhile, which is where I get the stereotypes (except for the cross-dressing! :eek:).

Speaking of oddly shaped civic statues, is there any Doper that lives in Dixon, Illinois? We have GOT to get a picture of the flying penis, the Dixon arch and Reagan’s home.
