Pants and Socks

only three pairs of socks and no "pants", but both are needed, so none would be refused.

I got NONE this year, which is poor as this means a nett loss for the last quarter. Socks just seem to disappear (not a washing machine thing, they're probably just stuffed in every orifice around my room where only a mother could [be bothered to] find them.). Plus Sara's friends came around and flaunting their double-X chromosones demanding. What was I meant to do? I am but one man. Plus my half arsed attempts to get them to flaunt anything fell on deaf (= oestrogen haze), but v.sexy, ears. They did create a very attrictive wall mura with those of their other conquests. When I pointed out this anomale I was similarly ignored, though recently one of them has taken to changing her brassiere in front of me, without warning. Could be worse.

No pants, no socks. I rec'd one superfluous (albeit warm & cozy) winter coat. That is all in terms of clothing (and gifts, really, though my dad gave me the BEST gift - a framed copy of my 1st published article).

5 pants, 14 pairs o' socks. Works for me! Combined with the trousers and shirts, it was in many ways a most sartorial Xmas.

Only three pairs of underpants and two bras, but I did get a slip and a petticoat as well. So that comes to seven undergarments in total. I think there should be a separate category for girls, not counting socks. Handkerchiefs should be acceptable also, though I didn't get any.

2 pants (slightly too large, but OK) and 6 socks, also jumper (although not the same jumper i've had for the past two years, thank god).

Two pairs of thick dark navy socks and one pair khaki-colored ones. My cousin's fiancee noted my delight on opening them, so I am looking forward to next Christmas with special anticipation!

7 pairs of pants, 6 pairs of socks. Tom, your parents musn't love you, or something. Gee.

I never get pants and socks as presents. I thought that was some kind of Christmas folklore along the lines of 'they always show the Wizard of Oz on TV at Christmas' (yes, I know they did this year). Oh hang on, my mum did give me some mohair socks a couple of years ago but they were special.

I received 6 pairs of socks. Socks are good. I usually wear two pairs in the winter. I do not like my totsies to be cold, oh no!

Pairs of:
sock = 5.
pant = 3.

I got no pants or socks but I did get two pairs of short and two tee- shirts. I remember the first year I didn't get any pants, I was so distressed! I relied on getting pants for Christmas every year. I had to wear crappy old undies for a whole nother year!

One year my brother bought me some black, lacy suspenders - at my request. The women at the lingerie shop gave him a very strange look when he responded to their query of "Are these for your girlfriend" with "No, they're for my sister". Especially seeing as we are from Tasmania.

If my parents got me underwear for Christmas, I would have a ninja fit*. However, they did manage to slip me a box of 3M products, so I can't be that hard to appease.

*NINJA FIT - A mental and physical condition where the afflicted temporarily becomes master of the deadly arts of assassination and unleashes said skills in a blind fury against those who give them underthings as presents, particularly when said underthings aren't from a significant other who is giving them as a thinly-veiled message to say, "Remove your clothing and ravage me like the RUTTING WHORE-BEAST you are!"

Why Dan, I never knew you cared. Underwear? *proffers some*

Anyone know how to render a ninja fit in ASCII?

no pants, no socks, one jumper.

particularly pleased that there were no socks. this year i fulfilled a long standing ambition and threw away all my socks, even my fluffy purple ones, and replaced them with twenty identical pairs.

here's a random sock. here's another random sock. its a pair! every time! does life get any better than this?

None at all. My mum has let me down; I think this is the first year when she hasn't bought me "amusing" pants, which suck visually, but always seem to be ultra-comfortable. And now that I've had to throw away the two pairs of Santa pants I practically lived in for the last three years, my novelty pant quotient is dwn to an all time low.

However, I have taken to buying myself soXoR when needed, so I actually have more than enough pairs. Phew!

p.s. can boys wear sexy pants, or must they just be functional? And are they only capable of being sexy if said boy is, um, buff?

I had no idea the British called underwear "pants". You learn something new every day.

My boyfriend bought me a pair of "sexy" tight white underwear for Christmas. "They're microfiber" he says. "They're spandex" say I, but darn if I don't look sexy in them. To answer Mark C's question, you don't need to be buff to exploit the power of sexy underwear... but you should at least be trim.
