I haven’t been following the Christmas Day underwear bomber wannabe story that closely. I’m numb to wingnut hissy fits, lies and fear mongering; it just doesn’t irk me as much as it used to. In short, I’m an irk shirker…
There is, however, a pressing question for the underwear bomber guy that needs to be answered: boxers or briefs?
Boxers.

[Irk shirker. I love it.]
eh, depends
any doubts as to your commitment are silenced when you put the bomb in your underpants.
the term, of course, is Crotch Rocket.
You people are just amateurs.
When searching for the joke here, it’s not the type of underpants where the comedy gold lies; it’s the brand.
Fruit of the Kaboom.
Fruit of the Kaboom is awesome, but Fruit of the Boom scans better.
CNN actually published a picture of the undy bomb. It was neither boxers nor briefs. Looked more like Depends.
Yeah, Snarkworth, you’re right. It’s what I get for trying to make a joke before 5 a.m.
What I wanted to say was, simply “Fruit of Kaboom.”
The Undabomber?
Good stuff, folks. I’m enjoying playing straight man.
I’m looking forward to my next flight, where I assume we will all be asked to remove our underpants as we go through security?
Yeah, but if you don’t wear any, be careful not to say you are ‘going commando’ – you’ll end up in manacles… 😉
If it’s not too early to make a joke, you can argue they might have been boxers once, but now they’re definitely briefs.
Also: saw a clip of cretin Pat Buchanan (but I repeat myself) self-righteously insisting that we torture Abdulmutallab in some way, specifically suggesting he be denied pain medication. My question is: the guy was willing to literally neuter himself — which ought to be a very clear indication he’s a nut, no pun intended. Buchanan thinks he can hurt him any more?
I’m waiting for them to hand out little paper underpants like those little paper booties they give you when they need you to take your shoes off…

And why would we do this? Because. Dammit.
Bucky has a better grasp of logic than Uncle Pat and Bucky eats things he finds on the floor.
A.
Didn’t Mark Foley eat things he found on the Floor?
Hey-o!
What, no bambooty here? It’s the latest in undie fibers.
i am surprised we don’t have to change into airline clothes for flights. or fly in out underwear.
Somehow I picture a bureau somewhere. Their job is to come up with the most irksome idea they can make airline passengers abide by.
The bureau uses every instance of someone arrested as a terrorist to put through their new-found anti-terror weapon. They’re already using this guy to push for the high-tech strip search machines. Next bomber and you’ll have to fly naked.
BTW – about the high tech visualization machines: Every prisoner knows you can stash things in your underside. Take some C-4 and put it in an acceptable shape. If I can figure that out, why can’t TSA and Al Q?
