I never said I doubted you…
I am a Panty, yes I am, and that’s okay…
I sleep all night and I work all day
I cover bums, I hold in guts,
I hang around with bras,
I wish I’d been a g-string
Just like my dear Papa.
Hey, the ad to the right was just “Personalized underwear.” LOL
And I am a Jockey short! Oh wait, most jockeys are short.
That’s true, but it Depends on weight
That comment was pretty Brief.
Any shorter and it would cease 2xist.

The soundtrack to this thread: “Air on a G-string”, by J S Bach.
Actually I think Fly Away Now is more appropriate.
Come on Chaps, do you have any more?
Are you pulling his boyleg?
These puns are bloomers.
For the curious, this is the name of a CD put out by the Japanese band, “Southern All Stars.”
Thanks for the info. Now do you happen to have any explanation for WHY on Earth a band with the unremarkable name of Southern All Stars would put out a CD with such a title? Sex change operations are one thing, but being transformed into an actual undergarment is not possible with current medical science.
Although in that regard, it occurs to me that Prince Charles was found to have expressed, in writing, the desire to be a feminine hygiene product for Camilla Parker Bowles. As I believe I’ve said here, as a psychologist I am aware of the startling range of unconventional sexual desires and behavior that some may exhibit.
That wasn’t one of Prince Charles’ shining moments. If he’d thought about it before speaking, he’d have realized that achieving his desire would mean an automatic trip to the wastebasket or down the waste pipe in less than 24 hours. He’d spend the rest of his short existence decomposing into little pink shreds in either a landfill or a waste processing plant, probably with a broken heart.
I never felt compassion for used tampons before!
“As I believe I’ve said here, as a psychologist I …”
Yes, John, we know – you’re a psychologist! Well done, you! Hooray!
LOL
Believe me, my intent is not to brag. In fact, I am not a member of any professional societies because I can’t stand hanging around with psychologists. They’re so full of sh!t! (I’m also full of sh!t, but I know it. They usually don’t.) But there is SO much misinformation flowing around about psychology that I just find myself wanting to let people know that this is coming from someone who knows a little about it. But I will try to keep a check on it.
From now on, I shall keep my profession entirely private.
Even though I wear more than one hat.
And have not always done what I do now. I’m just so old that it seems that way.
Sorry for being annoying. But as Sacha Baron Cohen has proven, there’s a fine line between funny and annoying.
There coule be a 14 lane freeway with a 100 foot wide median, and 2 lane on and off ramps between funny and annoying, and SBC would still end up on the wrong side of it.
Worst thing about Talledega Nights; they didn’t throw him to the NASCAR fans after they’d shot his scenes!
For me, he’s right on the line. I find him very annoying but can’t help laughing at some of his stuff, a kind of guilty laugh, like I should be above this but apparently I’m not. But I haven’t seen Bruno yet (and probably never will!), but just the commercials get me plenty annoyed.
Thanks for the warning. I didn’t find him funny as Ali G, so I’ve pretty much ignored him since then.
My son keeps telling me I should watch Borat, it’s sooooo funny and I would just love it to pieces, it’s even funnier than Austin Powers.
*I* keep wondering how I could have failed so miserably in raising this child.
(I will confess to the occasional, and reluctant, guilty laugh – I can stomach about 5-8 seconds of a few bits of the Borat schtick. But absolutely 0 of Austin Powers.)
Don’t worry about kids’ sense of humor. I don’t know how old your son is, but I can get my 10-year-old daughter to laugh every single time just by saying, “fart.” She’s been bugging me to watch “Mall Cop” with her, swearing it’s the funniest movie ever made, based upon her few years of watching a few movies. I’ve managed to avoid it so far.
*giggling*
I hope I didn’t come across as… ugly; I meant it as good-natured ribbing, not a serious slam. (c:
I do understand where you’re coming from, but I’ve learned (to my unending frustration) that the people who tend to spread the misinformation are not likely to believe that you hold the information/insight that you do – they’ll figure you’re just some loser making crap up online, same as they are.
I generally tend to take people at their word, unless there’s evidence to the contrary, but for a lot of people, “correcting their inaccuracies” or “disagreeing and citing reputable, peer-reviewed studies as sources” or “offering insights gleaned from years of experience and education” all counts as “evidence to the contrary.”
No, I didn’t take offense. If I take offense at something, I’m not likely to make silly riffs off it, like I did here. And the criticism has some validity, although we have so many people that just pass through this site and so many who don’t seem to read most of the posts, so I do repeat myself intentionally sometimes. And I know it’s difficult to get people to believe the truth or to disbelieve some common myth. But I try. And I’m more prone to do this because my experience has been clinical, working with real, live human beings, not running experiments in some university basement on rats. And after 32 years of doing this, I’ve seen a lot, so I end up talking about it a lot. And I have to say that when my experience differs from what’s in the books, I tend to go with my experience. But I’d be the first to admit that the human mind remains one of the greatest mysteries in the universe, that we know of. We don’t even really understand how or why this odd behavior called laughing was acquired; we can’t even tell why some experiences are funny and some similar experiences are not. We really don’t understand what makes something humorous. We know most people like it, at that it does have beneficial effects on body and mind to laugh, but the whys are still missing. As someone who likes to make people laugh, I myself don’t have an accurate sense of what will be funny and what won’t. So I’ll say something to a group and get uproarious laughter, but when I say something else that I think is just as funny, it may go nowhere at all.
Have you read “Phantoms in the Brain” by some guy with a name I can neither spell nor pronounce, much less remember? Indian guy. It’s got a foreword by Oliver Sacks, I remember that much.
Anyway, it’s a fascinating (IMO) look into some of the lesser known tricks our brains can play on us, and why they’re not necessarily as absurd as they might seem (anosognosia, Capgras syndrome*, etc). I think he used a bit too much hype and drama in certain respects, which made me a little skeptical of taking it at 100% face value, but it’s an exceptional book, nonetheless.
He devotes a chapter or so to the origin, purpose, evolution, and modern uses/meanings of laughter, and as I recall it was pretty insightful. Might be something you’d be interested in, on both a personal and professional level.
He, like you, tends to look more at what’s in front of him than what the conventional wisdom and literature says, and discoveries and realizations result. If the patient says they’re experiencing thus-and-such, he takes them at their word, doesn’t try to convince them that they’re actually experiencing something else. It’s VERY interesting, and illustrates how a lot of disorders that tend to be characterized as purely psychological or imaginary/emotional may actually be neurological and sometimes fixable – when the doctors and scientists go by what the patient is telling them, instead of what the literature says should happen.
*Disclaimer: My brother is a paranoid schizophrenic and was exhibiting signs of Capgras syndrome for a while. This book helped me understand it as a valid event, and not just him being a PITA, so there is a fair amount of personal/emotional bias to my recommendation. Still: You might enjoy it. The sections on laughter if nothing else.
Thanks, e, for the recommendation. The book is by V.S. Ramachandran and Sandra Blakeslee. I am somewhat familiar with the former’s theoretical orientation. The book sounds interesting, although I haven’t read it. I am familiar with Oliver Sacks, of course, who has written some unforgettable books himself. The idea that brain function is the basis of much more that happens to us than we, or doctors, often realize is an idea that is near and dear to my heart. Last April, my wife suddenly developed a spastic condition in her left arm that initially involved rhythmic tremors that resembled Parkinson’s. Within the span of a week it progressed to total paralysis of the left arm, along with twitching and unsteadiness in her right leg. A visit to the doctor found a blood sugar of 763. My wife had previously not had diabetes, so the sudden cessation of pancreatic function was and remains a mystery. Of course she was immediately hospitalized, and of course a neurology consult was ordered, with a doctor that I did not know, but two physicians I do know and respect both called her an “idiot,” literally. But since she was in the hospital, we didn’t really have a choice. The neurologist’s verdict was hysterical conversion, which is a condition in which basically all the symptoms are caused by the patient’s own brain. Given that I have known my wife for 23 years, I think I would have an inkling if this were going on. Our family physician, however, refused to believe it, and researched and found that when blood sugar levels have become seriously out of whack, neurological symptoms can occur, including what my wife’s condition turned out to be, which was a little-known illness known as hyperglycemic hyperosmolic hemiballismus, which fortunately went into remission when her blood sugar got under control. So while I am amazed at the extent to which the brain can affect functioning, I also try to be sure to eliminate all the possible somatic causes first.
You have my sympathy for the condition of your brother. I have a sister with bipolar disorder myself, which, while not usually as difficult as schizophrenia, certainly has its ups and downs (pun somewhat intended!). Take care of yourself.
BTW, my second trip through grad school I took a course called, “Human Response to Stress.” Marvelous course! There was a ton of reading, literally several hundred pages a week, all in the form of articles and research papers. Then we’d meet once a week and have an intense, three-hour discussion about what we’d read. We did spend one week on humor, and like most human behaviors it is very complex. That course opened my eyes to a lot of things I had never thought of before, and I was 32 at the time. But I haven’t read anything about humor in quite a while. There is probably more research on it now.
Trivia: The Japanese pronunciation of the English word “Southern” sounds exactly like “Sazan” (3×3 in Japanese multiplication tables) -
According to legend, a manga artist who was a fan of Southern All-Stars went on to create the manga (later anime) 3×3 Eyes (which is one of the early pre-1990 imports that people fansubbed, that helped start the anime craze in North America).
Frankly, the anime/manga is better than Southern All-Stars’ music, hands down… (the fact that it stars a cute 3-eyed vampiric avatar of the Indian goddess Parvati is a bonus).
Basara,
Is it possible then, that when Aum Shinrikyo released saran in the Tokyo Subway, they were trying to release SOUTHERNERS?
Nine of them?
I regret that I can’t think of anymore underwear quips. “Panty-liners” as it were.
In that case, I DO NOT WANT to see the liner notes!
I *LOVE* the affirmation of the engrish (like yes, that’s right, i’m serious, i am an engrish)
It’s great that they even knew where to put the comma.
it’s not a comma in my panty, I’m only just happy to see you
Better a comma than a period…
But transvestites get to have an exclamation point in theirs!

I thought it was a question mark?
Peyronie’s disease will cause it to form a question mark.
Although it would have two dots.
I NOT HAS A PMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PMS =
Permanent Mental Stability
Pickled Mighty Slowly (Yes, I am!)
Partially Mangled Sentences
Panties May Slip (Warning)
Portly Misogynist’s Slurs
I think I’m done now.
PMS also = Public Middle School
LOL! A ASOIAF reference!
I like the one that’s two down from that: I Won’t You featuring Fat Joe.
Sorry – since that’s in Japanese, you have to go to the Japlish site to make that comment!!
It should still count as Engrish. The error was due to a misunderstanding of the English by a Japanese writer. Just because it’s rendered in katakana shouldn’t make a difference.
Oh, fat JOE! Yeah…I shouldn’t get ユ and ヨ confused. >.> *totally read Fat Jew* Which is…more absurd than it deserves credit for.
Just a bit of dry humor – wasn’t serious at all.
But are you a magical man and woman panty? And should ou be worn with magical man pants or magical woman pants? This is all really, really confusing.
I want to know when “&” became a Chinese character.
“男 & 女”? Why not “男 并女”? Engrish on multiple levels!
It is just “&” is Katakana for “并”
并 is not katakana, dear. :p
Sidenote, that fourth one down…. The one that says アイ・ウォント・ユー（フィーチャリング・ファット・ジョー）, I think says “I Want You (Featuring: Fat Jew)”
It was a joke. see the smiley face? I meant “&” was Katakana
Oh. Um..haha? An ampersand isn’t katakana. These characters below are all the katakana (without dakutens, ゛゜). Each one has a ‘sound,’ and are used to express foreign words and emphasis, among other things.

I’m a panty, he’s a panty, she’s a panty, we’re all panties… wouldn’t you like to be a panty, too?!
::is a pantRy::
::provides foodstuffs such as canned soup and dried items that last long periods of time::
“Son, you got a panty on your head.” – Raising Arizona
Great movie! I still remember that scene.
I AM COMMANDO (Yes, I am)!
Wouldn’t you know it, everyone would like to be a ladies undergarment; sometimes.
But are you a MAGICAL panty?
The newest song from the Jonas Brothers!
Everywhere we go, everywhere we go! People wanna know, people wanna know! Who, we are, who, we are! So we tell them, so we tell them! We are panty! We are panty! The mighty might panty!
Omg there’s really this song!
So I tried searching Youtube for this, but they ddon’t have this exact song. Yeah, I’m pathetic.
Maybe, but at least you’re not a panty!
But is there really such thing as “a panty”? Isn’t it a “pair of panties”? So if you’re “a panty,” I guess you’re really just half-assed.
That’s fine, because nobody deserves your left behind!
isn’ t this a cover of a Melissa Etherige song?
I am a pantie, yes I am.
You can be a pantie, yes you can.
You can drive to China and be a man.
Then you’ll be a pantie like we am!
In fact, the album and band are Japanese, so if you want to go to China (although I don’t know where you live that you can drive there), don’t count on becoming a panty.
But Mrs Slocombe died…

Oooh, a panty haiku! Win! But the Dreadful Spelling Sprite must *ding* you for “taffeta.”
And I am teh Walrus, wher iz my bukkit?
I bet Panty did this to complete her goal of having sex with 1,000 guys…
