"Panties."

*

When J first approached me about doing a blog, and asked me what said blog should be about, my mind immediately jumped to only one conclusion:

"Panties!!"

If there's one thing everybody can agree on in this mixed up world, it's panties. We all love 'em, right? Seeing 'em, wearing 'em. Thongs, briefs, granny? Doesn't matter - I'm there. Who doesn't want to read an entire blog devoted to the trials and tribulations of this wondrous undergarment?

Actually, that's a lie. I'll tell you right now, I'm an unreliable narrator, like the Leonardo DiCaprio character in any Leonardo DiCaprio movie. As J has already mentioned, this blog has nothing to do with actual tried-and-true boyshorts, nor any other kind of panties. It's only our way of expressing our randomness to the world. "Said Panties" could tackle anything. Entertainment, politics, sports - well, not sports. Who are we kidding? This blog has "panties" in the title, for Christ's sake.

(Please read "sake" as the Japanese alcoholic beverage "sake," served hot or cold. I like to think Christ would be open to booze from a multitude of cultures. I mean, turning water into wine is a neat trick and all, but I'll be really impressed when you turn it into Jack Daniels.)

Anyway. For as much as X and J are alike in certain ways, we also differ greatly. We think differently. We have different tastes. We take a different approach to life on a daily basis. We are Yin and Yang, if Yin and Yang also get together every couple of weeks to have cocktails and watch movies. I think our differences, partnered with our similarities, could create for some very interesting blogging.

And if not, J and I pledge to let this blog devolve into scandalous posts of ourselves depicted in various knickers. I call tanga! (Whatever those are.)

No lies,

X.

Why Said Panties?

Well, why not, really?

Okay, so you maybe want to know what Said Panties means. I can understand that. It really is a vague, mysterious name for a blog.

What if I were to tell you that Said Panties should mean something different to each person? That Said Panties is what YOU bring to the table?

Okay, so that's bullshit.

To be honest, I don't remember where the term Said Panties came from. X and myself and our friend Becky somehow stumbled upon it while completely sober, but acting entirely drunk.

It made a worthy entry in our "not yet copyrighted band names" game for sure. What sort of a band would take such a name? An AWESOME band, that's what kind of band. Imagine the merchandising opportunities! Women's undergarments with speech bubbles all over them.

I can give you one clarification point on Said Panties, though. And that is that we're not saying that the panties have said anything. "I really enjoyed the latest Twilight movie," said Panties.

That would be an incorrect reading of our blog's title.

Rather, think of it as a title referencing a specific pair of panties.

"I am wearing those panties with the picture of Karl Marx on the taint," mentioned Kimberly.

"Well I'd like to purchase my own copy of said panties," said the talking pair of women's under garments.

That's probably as close as you're going to get to understanding the point and title of this blog. I hope that helps you.

So is there a theme to this blog? Maybe. X and I have discussed a few possibilities. But none are solid yet. We figure we'll just fling our frilly numbers at the wall and see what slides and what sticks. Hopefully this turns out to be a fun time.

Well, it WILL be a fun time, whatever it ends up being.
