OK, time for a vote

Right, every good 'random bunch of people' should have a vote ocassionally.

It should be something important, something directly consequential to the members of the group, something that they all feel strongly about.

So, which is it? Boxers or Briefs?

Well, I'll let you pick your own criteria.

And Dave, my preference depends! Sometimes one, sometimes the other. Depends who's wearing them really!

DaveR, what exactly are you trading the purple charmeuse boxers for?

Boxers, definitely boxers. Just no happy smiley faces on them please. It's just weird having all those faces staring at you.

As in testing to give an opinion on the website - 'Revenge gifts' section!

(Female) customer comes in and asks for airtex pants. Hadn't anything so boring, and offered cotton briefs as alternative. Took home to husband. Comes back with them unopened. Can she have some black stockings 'for him' as he will be glad to see them on her? Typical male attitude. Has opinion of what wife should wear, couldn't get off his backside to smarten himself up for her, even when assisted. Once in the trade, it makes yer sick.

You're going to keep avoiding this, aren't you Sarah B! :)

I could get more explicit, but not with others in the 'shop'. Alright, I let you off. Nice dress, though.

boxers, or the sort of tighter things - jockey shorts?

i once went out with a guy who had a pair of turquoise y-fronts. I know, I should have dumped him when I found out...

Oooh, the first daddy-long-legs of the year has come in through the skylight and is now drifting aimlessly around my bedroom.

Ate the first non-shop blackberries today. Mostly still a bit tart, mind you.

I like those boxer brief ones...that look like tightie whities only with longer legs. I like the streamlined look. Standard boxers always look like the guy has dropped a load and didn't bother to change his diaper :)

I wish my hubby would wear the long-line briefs. He doesn't like them because he has large thighs and those underwear tend to creep and bunch. So he'll stick to the standard tightie whities. I actually don't care what he wears, as long as they're not skidmarked and are changed regularly!

(I know too much informations! LOL)

Aren't tight boxer's actually Jersey trunks? That's what I wear, so my vote goes to them.
