What is "Haggis" ?

Is it in the bratwurst family?

jor Sep 4th, 2003 06:34 PM

I heard its in the skid mark family but I think I was taken for a ride.

I don't even know why anyone would think of something so stupid!!

I think Wanda's husband has went commando by now and has dumpt the wife.

LeCanard Sep 5th, 2003 01:33 AM

Ok now.
But why DO underpants and DON'T speedos ?

Here is the thread I was looking for.

First time read for me...funny, too.

Wanda does seem to be fun, nocinonut, but I think any similarity to me ends there (that's if you were referring to me as the Food Snubber). I was a single widow in 2001, posted on fodors in August 2003 for the first time ever, and "Wanda" is NOT a name I'd choose for myself under any circumstances.

Unless you have a good body or at least a swimmer's body, I think Speedos look silly on a guy. Some of my beer-belly brothers wear them and I laugh. I love those baggy, surfer shorts that the guys wear on Santa Monica beaches. In public, I'd rather see less than more unless the body (you know what I mean) is to die over.

Several years ago I found some nylon jockey shorts [black was the only choice] that I use for travel. My standing with with my host family in Granada [Spanish school] went up immeasureably when, in the process of doing laundry, they discovered that their 62 yr old student had such underwear. "Muy sexy" if I recall the comments.

oh Weber, way too much information! I have seen it all by now!! I saw a resent photo of Arnold Shwartseneger without his shirt in People Weekly. What a floppy belly. Oh my! Hope I don't get that way.

I saw a recent photo of Arno.. with even less and it wasn't that impressive!

Dorothy Parker said(of women)
"Brevity is the soul of Lingerie, but Wanda speaks of droopy pants, that means they are waring a long rise, wrong for them.
A man like a woman can wear anything and look good IF they are young and have a great body

cigalechanta Dec 28th, 2003 05:52 PM

wearing, but beware. (spelling police always patrol here)

Patrick Dec 28th, 2003 06:50 PM

I used to get a big laugh when I said that people always confused my body with Arnold's. But after those pictures appeared I not only don't get a laugh, I get total agreement! Sigh.

Another good post from the past!

Survey for you all, done in the Netherlands in the dressing room before an orchestra concert (yes, there is only one dressing room) Men: 30% boxers, 70% briefs, no thongs. Women: 60% briefs/bikinis, 10% thongs (we call it a 'string'), 30% unidentifiable.

Patrick Dec 29th, 2003 05:51 AM

"30% unidentifiable"??? The mind reels!!

jenviolin Dec 29th, 2003 05:55 AM

Well, we musicians are a strange bunch...

You folks are not taking this post serious enough ;) Underpants are an important subject for travelers. I just gave my father 2 pairs of traveling briefs for Christmas. Ho! Ho! Ho! Bring the wrong pair to the wrong climate and it takes over 2 days to dry. I have finally found pairs that dry in less than 2 hours, rain or shine! My man can now wash out his shorts and in 20 minutes be dressed (a little damp) and ready to travel :) Word of advice, style does not matter,don't take cotton, switch to the new wonder nylons. Helpful Hint: disposable bra hangers are the best for hanging clothes to dry in hotel rooms. They are light weight, plastic, free, and have lots of hooks for hanging socks. God I love them! My life got better when I discovered the joy of bra hangers. The right underwear and hangers: These are the little secrets that make for sucessful traveling.

Some travel gear mags advertise quick drying undies. Also, silk washes easily & dries quickly. My vote - NO undies.
