I went out to buy underwear on Saturday... |
|
...and ended up coming home with a DVD player and a new TV.
The TV I had is almost 20 years old and didn't have the right jacks for connecting a DVD player which I had to buy once I noticed that the VHS selection in the "new release" section of my local video store was shrinking more and more every month. So I've gone and taken a running leap into the 20thcentury. I spent most of the weekend watching the third season of "Oz" (which my video store doesn't carry on VHS) and the sixth season of "Sex and the City (ditto).
Anyway, that was the most expensive underwear I've ever bought.

3. The Underwear Was On Sale |
|
Retailers just want to get you into the store. If they could get away with giving underwear away, they'd do that. It's all very scientific. They know what works and what doesn't.

...I didn't buy the DVD player and underwear at the same store. I was on my way the the store where I'd buy the underwear and I passed a Radio Shack. I just went in to see how much a TV and DVD player would cost because I have no idea how much things cost anymore. The last time I'd bought a TV was in 1987. I would never buy underwear from Radio Shack.:)

8. I would buy underwear from RadioShack |
|
It would be vaguely titillating to have someone ask me for my home address and phone number when I buy underwear.

Boxerbriefs. I LOVE those now. It sometimes takes me years to get on some bandwagons but now that I've discovered boxerbriefs I'm never going back to the loose fitting briefs. No more "popping out" if you know what I mean.

Don't even pretend that you don't know what I'm talking about. You just want a description, don't you? I'm onto you.

20. It's hard to believe... |
|
...that I once paid over $300.00 for a VCR. Although, I can't really complain. The thing lasted for 15 years. It was a Panasonic. When it finally broke down I bought another Panasonic for $99.00 and it didn't last a year.:mad: So far I'm really diggin' my DVD player. The guy at Radio Shack was trying to steer me towards more expensive models but I decided to start small and work my way up.

11. But does the TV fit well, that's the question. |
|
Also, which do you use where? I would figure the TV would be best as a bra, since there's a lot of men that look there anyway (this assumes you are female).

Actually, I'm a male and don't go giving my gender any ideas about putting little TVs in womens' bras. It will be only a matter of time.

14. Have they stopped selling bikini undewear? |
|
I can't find small men's bikini underwear anywhere. Fortunately I bought a whole bunch on sale which should last me a while.
