    Lmao,,,Todd my brother,,,lol,, you make everything entertaining! I never get tired of the market walks. Jocks,,,I wonder if that's not because of Jockey brand undies? Jockey brand was probably around during WWII Most of us quit calling them shorts after 15 or so. Bvd brand boxer/briefs is the only way to fly. Fairly airy,,,but keeps the boys properly snug,,but not so snug they cut the swimmers off,,lmao lol the food looked interesting,, Pluto pops would probably be what we call corn dogs. My fave is an occasional chili cheese corn dog. They were invented at some state fair long ago,,,someone dropped a frankfurter into the corn batter,,and boom! Probably,,,,,no guarantees.You are absolutely correct about a hot dog coming in a roll. .Thanks for the lols! Be careful,,Ttyl,,,Marlon

    We put it down to the sun with the elastic. I'm down to my last 2 pairs of jocks. I bought two pairs of Katmandu quick dry underwear ($25 each, on sale from $50 Claire gave me shit about them) and they are amazing. 6 days till PCR test, we are excited but also don't want to leave.

      @NowinLao  2 роки тому +1

      The sun... How many bloody days do you leave them out there lol. We do have a sun in Australia remember. Not sure that is the problem for us mate.. kinda leaning toward how much detergent is used or the type of detergent. Still no definite answer yet 🤔
      $50 jocks!? well well Mr fancy pants.. I hope they're good for 7 days at a time. I have no idea why Claire would give you shit mate 😐🙄

      @@NowinLao I think the Sun is hotter here, I know it feels like it's melting my skin off sometimes.
      This is from all knowing Google
      Heat will degrade the elastic band until it stretches out of shape and stays stretched. Continual wearing will make it even worse. This happens when the elastic in the waistband gets stretched out of shape over time. It's especially common with underwear that has a thick elastic waistband like boxer shorts. Bonds do have thick bands.

    I wear Bonds Comfy Undies and never an issue washing at home in Aus. However at our home in Viet Nam my sister-in-law does the washing by hand and she puts a bucket load of detergent in the water and then after rinsing she then wrings them out like she's strangling a chook, that affects the elastic in them.
