100 Turn Out For Annual Underpants Run

[matcom]

<insert joke about our beloved DUer here...>



Competitors wearing little but their underwear smile and cheer as they finish the ninth annual Underpants Run, Thursday, Oct. 13, 2005, in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. About 100 men, women and children ran in the mile-long event, which crossed paths with the start and finish areas of the considerably more serious Ironman competition, which will be held Saturday. The Underpants Run, originally begun to poke fun at Speedo-wearing Ironman competitors, is now a fundraiser for a local charity. (AP Photo/Elaine Thompson)

Not very aerodynamic, if you ask me.

2. Why is he not their mascot?

He could be at the finish line in a recliner, drinking beer.

3. As long as he leaves the thong at home

I think it would be a great idea

4. matcom is the thong king...

...underpants is more of a tighty-whitey type. Dark grey former whiteys more accurately. ;)

9. And two brave women in the crowd...

I salute you both.

Reminds me of when Spike Jones and his City Slickers would have an Underwear Parade in the city they were performing at during the 40's and 50's. Of course, with those folks it was strictly long-johns and union suits, not briefs and boxers.

I'm thinking if you're gonna run a marathon in your underwear, boxer briefs are probably the best way to go if you're a guy.
