We're all going to die anyway.

poor Nick.

― chris, Wednesday, 13 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I don't want to leave a saggy corpse.

― Emma, Wednesday, 13 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I've enver really looked to my underwear in times of existential crisis.

― Anna, Wednesday, 13 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Anna, this is the CAUSE OF YOUR IMENDING UNHAPPINESS. Submit to the healing power of your bra.

― Dan Perry, Wednesday, 13 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Most of my moments of crisis involve my underwear. Or someone else's.

― Emma, Wednesday, 13 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

So ditch them. Lance the boil

Your corpse will be saggy anyway, unless you're heading to an early grave. Even bra-obsessive pensioners cannot beat gravity in the end.

Ah peace, comfort, thy name is Gossard.

― Anna, Wednesday, 13 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

The Minoans had the right idea.

― Tom, Wednesday, 13 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

yeah and look what happened to them!! tidal wave AND volcano AND pirate rapists, jeepers

― mark s, Wednesday, 13 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

What with all that snake clutching.

― Pyth, Wednesday, 13 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

"Minoa" is one of those placenames which needs a placename joke.

"My wife _________________"

"Minoa?"

"No, she _________________"

They probably didn't have placename jokes in the bronze age.

― Tom, Wednesday, 13 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Err... if they were talking half in Latin and half in English (plausible, I think), it could be:

"My wife has got saddled with arranging an office awayday and is having trouble getting people to reimburse her expenses"

"Ad Minoa?"

"No, it's the accounts office in Manchester"

― N., Wednesday, 13 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

"Ever since I got turned into a pillar of salt my husband has gone to live in Minoa."

"Minoa? Lot?"

"No you don't."

― Sam, Wednesday, 13 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

You could just about make "Minoa?" "Me know her?" but the only way to do that would be to use a dodgy racist accent.

― Tom, Wednesday, 13 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Not if you were actually Jamaican. Racist.

― N., Wednesday, 13 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I think the Minoa thing only works in a Brit accent to begin with. I'm confuse-ed.

― Pyth, Wednesday, 13 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I am the thread killer, ph34r me.

― Pyth, Wednesday, 13 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

It was a m3rcy killing.

― Tom, Wednesday, 13 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

The point is that Nick gets to post ANOTHER thread about them.

― Ronan, Wednesday, 13 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i burnt my bra in the great bra burning o f 1826, and have used potatos for breasts ever since

― Queen G, Wednesday, 13 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

if i didn't wear a bra it would hurt when i run. it would also make slappy noises (when i run). whats dying got to do with it?

― di, Wednesday, 13 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I have a friend who finds it extremely funny to get people who don't drink to say "bacon" in a jamaican accent. No-one else finds it as funny as him though, surprisingly. There are two points.

― Steve.n., Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Why so many bra threads Nick? Are you jealous? Bras are supportive. Full stop. I tried to use pototoes for breasts too, but the store detective told me it was shoplifting.

― alix, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

You're assuming Nick doesn't wear a bra. He probably has a flourescent blue one on right now.

― Nicole, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

― N., Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Yes, I read that after I posted. Sorry :)

― alix, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Bras really shouldn't be pointy. Unless you're going for a 50s retro look.

― rosemary, Saturday, 16 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

oh pointy bras are great in the context of 50s retro. i wish i had one.

― di, Saturday, 16 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

two months pass...

So do I. Actually, I searched yahoo for the phrase '1950's pointy bras' and found this. Where would I get one? A friend suggested asking old relatives, but the thought of wearing your grandma's old bra is just..pushing retro too far..

― Angelique, Sunday, 26 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

wouldn't thrift shops have them? or do they only take the overclothes of dead people?

― Queen Zepplin G, Sunday, 26 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Not what Angelique was looking for, but Vintage underwear adverts!. Warning: do not click on the 'Men As Maids' link at work.

― N., Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

N, that's a bit freaky as I came across (fnar) that same web of sites last week. I don't suppose you typed in "old-fashioned bra" into google?

― Alan T, Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Vintage underwear, Alan. May I ask why you were running this search?

― N., Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Does anyone know anything about bra suitcase (bracases, I suppose)? I saw one in a shop window, it was like a little suitcase containing special hangers for bras, I reckon you could fit about a dozen in. I've been waiting for a bra thread revival to ask this.

― PJ Miller, Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I don't know, but apparently this is what BB3 Kate left behind, much to the delight of every red-blooded male. Will she just keep washing the one she was wearing, though?

― N., Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Who's BB3 Kate? Is that her bra size?

― PJ Miller, Monday, 27 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I now know what BB3 Kate is - Big Brother 3 Kate. I worked it out all by myself.

― PJ Miller, Tuesday, 28 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Here, have a sticker.
