Joseph and the Amazing Fruit-of-the-Loom Y-Front

[snurri]

I had that dream I used to have when I was a kid, where I'd get to school and then realize I wasn't wearing any pants. Except in this dream I was at a convention, possibly World Fantasy, because many of you were there. There were also people I haven't talked to since college, so it was not clearly one thing or another. Anyway, the punchline is that I hadn't just forgotten my pants, I was wearing NOTHING BUT TIGHTY-WHITIES (not my usual choice of undergarment, either). And while I had some mild anxiety about the situation--nothing like the paralyzing terror of those school-day nightmares--nobody else seemed to care.

I can't decide if this means that I feel very comfortable and accepted by all of you or that I think you're all a bunch of weirdos.

I think it means you want to wear tighty-whities.

[snurri.livejournal.com]

No way, dude. They are always bunching up at the waist.

[gregvaneekhout.livejournal.com]

What's your take on boxer briefs?

[snurri.livejournal.com]

They are my faves! Comfort and security, all in one.

[gregvaneekhout.livejournal.com]

Yay! What's your take on the crotchless ones?

[snurri.livejournal.com]

My take is that someone's been at their wardrobe with the scissors again, haven't they?

[gregvaneekhout.livejournal.com]

IF YOU DON'T LET THE CROTCH SPIRITS OUT OF YOUR UNDERWEAR THEY'LL MAKE YOU DO THE BAD THINGS AGAIN!!!!

I'm pretty sure you need a priest for that.

(blair witch voice) i am so ... scared ... right now

[sarah-prineas.livejournal.com]

Me too, especially if you watch the icon progression...

I often dream I have showed up for things naked, and nobody ever cares.

It always means that I have kicked off the blankets and am cold. Ahh, the deep psychological symbolism.

[snurri.livejournal.com]

Folks were noticing, and some chuckling a bit, but nobody seemed to think it was shocking or scandalous.

I woke up snug and warm, so that ain't it.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_stranger_here/]

Oh, like we've never seen someone wandering around World Fantasy in nothing but tighty-whities before.

[snurri.livejournal.com]

Well, THAT'S a story I haven't heard.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_stranger_here/]

Well, we are all very comfortable and accepting weirdos. What's to talk about?

[sarah-prineas.livejournal.com]

Dude, it wasn't a dream. It actually happened.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_stranger_here/]

Oh, that was such a good con. Fond memories. Wish I could make it to Calgary this year. Probably too cold up there for the usual tighty-whities incidents, though.

[sarah-prineas.livejournal.com]

...unless they were fur lined.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_stranger_here/]

Shh, don't encourage Dave to become a Furry!

You mean the transit station with the doors that opened three stories above the lobby was real? I mean, we all laughed about it at the time, but SOMEONE COULD HAVE DIED.

[sarah-prineas.livejournal.com]

But nobody did!

Yes, that was a good con.

[tanaise.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure why you think this is an either/or issue. It's clearly an and.

[jocelina.livejournal.com]

My thoughts exactly.

[mythusmage.livejournal.com]

Either a need to display, or a feeling of acceptance. Probably both. Though if you're going to go nude or near nude quick showers and bidets are good ideas.

What if I decide to go nevernude?
