I don’t embarrass very easily. If you’ve met me, I bet you knew that. If you haven’t met me, reading a bit of my blog should tell you that too. But there is one consistent way that I get embarrassed.
I have 25 pairs of boxers that I regularly wear.
That’s not the embarrassing part.
The embarrassing part is I suddenly become hyper-aware of what boxers I’m wearing when I’m changing next to a bunch of men at the Y. I don’t want guys my age to think I’m a weirdo. And I don’t want old guys thinking I’m some kind of freak.
The vast majority of my boxers tend to call out: “WEIRDO!” I got out all of my underwear last night. Here’s what I’ve got:
Here’s my “cartoon collection.” Spongebob, Stewie, Tom and Jerry (Tom's on the ass), and Woody:
Here are my 2 Simpson’s boxers:
Here are my “gamer” boxers. Yes, I have TWO Nintendo boxers, and 1 pair of Pac-Man:
Random 4. Pigs, “Property of City Hospital,” Dr. Seuss, and rubber duckies:
Another random 4. Playing cards, TVs, monkeys (with bananas), and smiley faces:
Why in the world do I have camouflaged boxers?!?!? When will these come in handy?!?
My folks got these in Mexico for me. They are REAL comfortable, but I have no idea what it says on the leg. Can someone translate for me?
I have 2 “cereal” boxers. Fruit Loops and Raisin Bran Crunch (the Raisin Bran ones say “Breakfast is Back” across the ass):
I even have 2 pairs for minor holidays (which I wear year-round). Here are my Valentines boxers and my Halloween boxers:
Finally, near the bottom, I FOUND MY 2 PAIRS OF “REGULAR” BOXERS!!
So sometime, if we ever meet, you can ask what boxers I’m wearing. I’ll gladly show you. Right now (with my current underwear selection), there’s a 92% chance that it will be something fun. That’s also a 92% chance that I’ll be freaking out the old guys in the locker room at the Y.

LOL, that's hysterical. I can just imagine the looks you've been getting at the Y.
ReplyDeleteYour Mexican boxers say something like:
ReplyDelete"Quality gift...
that is why I bought you a quality packaging"
Greetings...
Gabriel
BTW... your Stewie´s boxers rule!
ReplyDeleteHilarious!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the translation, Polzunkov! So my parents got me boxers that talk about my "quality package?" That's great!! HA!
ReplyDeleteI never know what I will get when I pull up your blog....lol!!
ReplyDeleteThe Fruit Loops ones are my favourite! I could only translate half of your Mexican boxers, so I'm glad Gabriel provided the entire translation. That is insteresting then that they came from your parents!
ReplyDeleteNot sure how I can tell my husband that I saw all of your boxers this morning :)
ReplyDeleteYou are silly!
-marn
Ok Steve I officially LOVE you!!! Like i really do!!
ReplyDeleteIf I could find a guy who wears boxers such as the one's above I would be a happy lady!!!
:O)
Seriously very adorable!!!
Hey! Go over to Target and pick up the yellow boxers with bicycles all over them!
ReplyDeleteLove the Jerry the Mouse ones and the Fruit Loops ones.
i suppose funny looks in your boxers is better than getting funny looks when youre naked! haha
ReplyDeleteDo you really own Joe Boxer undies. Dang man, how old are THOSE?!
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm so glad I'm not the only one with fun boxers.
ReplyDeleteI have Andy Capp Hot Fries boxers, even..
Funny.
ReplyDeleteMy son owns several of the same pairs, which I know from folding them every week.
HA I have the same issue. I always get looks at the Y when I'm wearing my Family Guy boxers.
ReplyDeleteAh the underwear issue.
ReplyDeleteFortunately I live a 5-minute walk from my gym, so I don't have to worry about this!
I have to say, this is the only blog spot I have ever read that includes photos of underwear!
ReplyDeleteLove the ones your parents got you! My SIL inadvertently did something like that. She bought her teenage son boxers that said "Center of the Universe" on them because they had a running joke about him being conceited - but she didn't see the arrow pointing to the crotch when they were folded in the package. Eeek! Have fun freaking out the old guys at the Y!
ReplyDeleteUmm...uhhh...ok.
ReplyDeletemy life is complete now that i have seen your underwear collection. i was a little disappointed to see that none of them were lacy little numbers though.
ReplyDeleteSo funny; thanks for sharing. It takes a real man...
ReplyDeleteThose camouflaged boxers blend right in with the quilt they're laying on. See, they work.
ReplyDeletedominic wears spiderman and batman boxers. and why change in front of people? i ALWAYS use the dressing room. i wish all the women would too. lol.
ReplyDeletehave a great weekend.
p.s. looks like i lost. boo. o-well. i was happy to come in the top 10 anyways. thanks steve.
that is committment to a good post... continuous pictures. I don't think I'll be sharing my undies any time soon
ReplyDeleteLOL that is hilarious... you have quite the collection :)
ReplyDeleteYou are so weird.
ReplyDeleteIn a good way. :)
I'm sure that's what the other men in the locker room are thinking!
HILARIOUS! But fun for sure.....
ReplyDeleteSo...are you trying to start the trend where we all post photos of our underwear?
ReplyDeleteClever..very clever...
I love this! You are hilarious. I like the Spongebob pair.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing
LOL! I can't believe you lined up all your underwear, clicked and posted pics of them!
ReplyDeleteAre we voting on the best underwear? I've got to go for the Fruit Loops one.
WEIRDO!
ReplyDeleteThis is a whole new level of intimacy I wasn't ready for :)
LMAO, I can only imagine the looks at the Y from the other guys.
ReplyDeleteWow that's the most action I've gotten since I unpacked and found a pair of my MI-man's boxer briefs in Gizmo's cat box.
ReplyDeleteThose are awesome! The heck with the guys at the Y - they could probably use a dose of irreverence anyways. The full translation of your boxers appears to be "For your birthday I'm going to give you a really quality gift, and that's why I bought you a quality package." Interesting... =)
ReplyDeleteoh, I think that we've all went through this phase. You're just a late bloomer - that is all.
ReplyDeleteSo, what is worse, the guys being weirded out by your boxers or you being weirded out by their floppy wangles? Maybe next time if you see them looking at you, you should say "dude, I got a pair in my truck for you too!"
I think you need to find reasons to wear the camo boxers. At least once a week!
ReplyDeleteHi! Just doscovered your blog..pretty funny...
ReplyDeleteI think I'm going to start buying my hubby stuff like that..lol!!
Here's my interpretation:
Left side:
Quality Gift
That is why I bought you,
a gift with quality.
Roght side:
For Your Birthday
I'm going to give you pure Chilis...Spice....Jalepenos?...
Your boxer collection looks suspiciously like my 16 year old sons boxer collection.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea that men even wore that style (baggy boxer) anymore! That's the real issue!
ReplyDeleteI love the pacman and pumpkin ones.
ReplyDeleteToo funny!
ReplyDeleteYou know what this really makes you, right? It makes you really easy to shop for.
ReplyDeletehaha! I actually own the spongebob boxers (and different pair not pictured), Horton (of Dr. Suess) boxers, Ants boxers, and Super Mario Bro boxer briefs. Oh and Spongebob pajamas.
ReplyDeleteWill
HA! You've got a great collection there! LOL! :-)
ReplyDeletePoor Pharmie!
ReplyDeleteWhat? Those are all cotton.
ReplyDeleteWhere's the silk ones?
I have that exact same pair of Sponge Bob boxers :-)
ReplyDeleteI worry more at the gym that the guy standing next to me is noticing just how smooth my legs are LOL!!!
