Sorry about that, Shirley. I just sent you an email with my address. I’m a moron too.

I will do my level best to perform and/or create a ritual appropriate to the situation. The nifty thing about Paganism is that it does allow for much creativity. Heh. Hehehehehehehehehe…

And as I said in my email, if you can get them to me by Tuesday or Wednesday, I’ll be able to take them to the Lansing MiniFest, so that the underwear can have lunch with a few other Dopers as well. I promise not to let her drive if she’s had too much to drink. 😃

I like the idea of using heavy starch on them to make them stiff like cardboard and mailing them back to her like a postcard. Then the feds will have to open a folder in Washington.

Woo Hoo! I can’t wait til I get my hands on those undies! We’ll take a cruise down the Rhein together & see the Lorelei! I’ll teach it to sing “Ein Prosit”! I’ll take pictures of it with my Lepre-Cam. This is going to be sooo fun! 😃

Three more have jumped on the wagon:

Cristi (Flint)  
Stofsky ( Columbia, SC)  
A lurkernomore from Pensacola FLA. ( Taking them to see Mr. Streisand on the set? 🙂 )  
I would like to take this opportunity to say: \*\*This is possibly my greatest thread. \*\* and it’s devoted to women’s underpants. ::::I love you people:::::::

Update:

My neighbor has enlisted to take the underwear bear on her 10 day cruise. She thinks this is pretty amusing. Her husband, didn’t think it as riotous as I did. They leave the 9th.

So, after they return, I shall put the bear in motion.  
There is still plenty of time to get on the list.

Yeah, yeah, have they gone out yet? Is there still time to get on the list? I can get the Underbear’s picture taken at Diamond Tooth Gerties in Dawson City! Or, if there is no time for that, on a gen-you-wine Yukon River sternwheeler.

According to an e-mail Shirley Ujest sent me recently, UnderBear is wending its way through the Panama Canal on a cruise.

Lucky bear.

Ayesha! You most certainly are on the list.

The underpants are somewhere either in the Caribbean right now, Central America or in the Drug Cartel of the World, Columbia. What a way to start the trip.

( I did take pictures of Underwear Bear outside of the University of MIchigan’s Football stadium and outside of Michigan City, Indiana’s Nuclear Power Plant and outside of Kellogg’s in Battle Creek during a recent road trip, but compared to, well, Bogata, well, hell, the Midwest road trip portion is so…Rockwellian.

I’d love to take the UnderBear on the grand tour of san diego…perhaps even into tijuana, to get the mexico experience…perhaps underbear on the famous painted-zebra-striped-donkey-things?  
underbear & shamu? underbear at the zoo? underbear at the local goth club! underbear in a corset & wig!

Ok…whoo…calming down now. too many ideas…

Recently I went to washington D.C. on a road trip. I spent about an hour there just running around taking pictures in front of all the “spots”. Every place that we went there was some guy taking pictures with a teddy bear. He would prop it up against the fence in front of the white house and take its picture. It was hilarious! I guess this is what he was doing? I suppose if you took a picture of the underpants on the white house fence it would simply look like bill had a good night!

I think Underwear Bear is back in the USA and at my neighbors house. At least, I think they are back from their trip.

I can’t wait to set this thing in motion…

Shirley, I have a question… do you want the picture with JUST the bear and underroos or with the dopers too… or both??

I figured since your friend wouldn’t know who the heck we were you would want just the undies in the pic.

BTW I will be willing to include another one use camera in the package when I send it on. Any further plans?

**Underwear Bear Update**

_The panties have gone postal._ Went into the mail yesterday, November 30th. First stop is Screech Owl in Florida.

Whammo, if people want to have their pictures taken with UB that is great! It will personalize this historic trip.

I will be moving the 20th of December!

If UnderBear is scheduled for South Bend in the near future, he should make it snappy. If UnderBear has an itinerary, and its looking like he might not make it in time, let me know, so I can get my next address on the list.

If there’s a hitch in the plans, it will still be okay, as my roommates will take care of it.

That is all.
