A question about Undies
I set off on my annual underpant-buying spree last week. The only underpants I'm prepared to wear are 'trunks'. The cheapest place you can get them locally is at H&M, where they cost 14.99 euros for three pairs.
Until last Friday, underpant-buying was a piece of, um, piss. Enter the shop, take a pack of plain black underpants off the rack, pay for them and leave.
Last Friday, however, was, so to speak, Non-Black Friday. They had 'trunks' on the rack, but not in plain colours. It wasn't just that the three-packs contained different-coloured underpants (dark blue, grey and white); the different-coloured underpants were also baseball-themed. Either loads of little baseball bats and/or balls or the word BASEBALL on them.
I'm a middle-aged man. I can't be wearing underpants with baseball bats on them.

A bloke I play football with has 'football underpants' (i.e. underpants he wears only for playing football in, rather than underpants with a photo of Horst Hrubesch on the front).
The design on one pair of his 'football underpants' is a photo that takes up all the material. (I don't know what the word is for that sort of thing, but I had a similar pair as a child. The photo was of Barry Sheene going round a bend on his motorbike: The back wheel and Barry Sheene's legs extended across my arse, while I had his torso and his helmet on, well, my helmet).
Anyway, my mate's got this pair with an all-encompassing photo of the skier Hermann Maier on them.

I also have plain ones, including a black pair and a green pair. I bury them right at the bottom of the drawer because I hate the look of them on me. I'd rather wear ratty old ones with a gimpy waistband ('period' underwear) than a new black pair.

A question about Undies
A couple of weeks ago in the pub, The Lady I Walked To The Registry Office With commented on another drinker, whose boxer shorts were hanging out of the top of his jeans. Given that he was about the same age as me, and that men my age don't usually go round flashing their underpants, we briefly debated whether it was deliberate or not.
I then said that, regardles of whether they spilled out of my jeans or not, I'd never contemplate wearing boxer shorts. She then said that going to bed with a bloke who wears boxer shorts is like "going to bed with Uwe Seeler".
I assume she meant because Uwe Seeler played football back in the days when they all wore baggy shorts.
Then I noticed that she'd said "is" and not "would be". I hope, I really really hope, that she hasn't been to bed with Uwe Seeler.

I'm assuming he's had these custom printed? A Google search of Horst Hrubesch Unterwäsche isn't bringing much up.
A pair of talking Horst Hrubesch underpants would be good. "Da tu ich ihn ihm rein in ihn ihm sein Tor."

Eat my boxers, you fuckers!
