Holy banana hammock, Batman!
So, Sunday Dwayne and I ventured to Walmart. He needed a new watchband and I needed to swap out my new watch. Oh, let me tell you about that real quick.
It’s all a blur. Like a horrible day-mare. ~ Robin
It’s Christmas Eve. Dwayne and I head to Walmart so he can do his Christmas shopping. We pick out a nice watch for Stephen, then Dwayne points to a woman’s watch and says, “This is the one you would want, right?” To which I answer, “No, I would never choose that one. I like this one.”
Fast forward to Christmas morning and I spy a little box with my name on it. It does not take me long to know what is inside and that I completely screwed up the day before. {sigh}
This is torture, at its most bizarre and terrible. ~ Batman
So, we are at Walmart on Sunday and Dwayne decides he wants to look around. Fine with me. It was actually not crowded, so less annoying than usual. He starts looking at flannel shirts and I wander around. I turn the corner and had to take a second look. Oh, yes, it is! Batman underwear ~ for men! Is this so you guys can relive your Underoos days? And if you prefer, they also have Spiderman.
I kid you not. I turned to Dwayne and said, “So, honey, if I were to buy you these would you wear them?” Then I held them up for him to see. If he were drinking it surely would have shot out his nose! I then proceeded to snap a picture with my cellphone [I apologize for the fuzzy image] and send it to Megan and Amanda who ‘lol’ and ‘wow!’ in response.
Never rub another man’s rhubarb. ~ Joker
Honestly, would you wear these? Buy these for your husband? boyfriend? lover? Even jokingly? Wait, maybe I don’t want to know.

I can honestly say that I’d have to be totally freaked out and gonzo before I’d wear anything like that. And I was a Batman fan, but that’s a bit obsessive.

@Mitch, I thought Underoos were a bit odd when I was a child, yet my brother and I would run around with a belt from a robe all rolled up and yell ‘Spiderman!’ then unroll the belt like a web. Okay, we were strange children. Yeah, it takes a special kind of guy to pull those off [no pun intended].

OMG, @Anne, I thought the Simpsons lounge pants were a little…out there. This takes the cake. I could not give these to my husband with a straight face.
And what’s strange about your childhood? Sounds perfectly “normal” to me (but maybe it just takes one to know one).

@Holly Jahangiri, Is it possible we were the normal ones and everyone else was odd? Food for thought right there.

@Anne, I’m a bit too old for Underoos to have been a part of my childhood, and I have to say that I’m glad because that would have been when Mom would have pulled out the camera and made it a lasting memory. lol

It is probably for children’ of the 90′s, back when it was funny and hip to be juvenile and ironic.

@Can Can (Mom Most Traveled), I worked with a guy [very nice guy btw] who loves Batman. I could not help but think of him when I saw these and wonder if he would wear them. Again, not sure I would want to know.

I wouldn’t personally by them Anne, but I’d wear them if they were a gift. Heck I might even wear them for Halloween lol
In regards to watch bands, I got a really good deal on eBay

@Sire, I am not surprised by this.
Then again, this would definitely not help with your sex + women = laughter issue. 
Sorry, couldn’t resist.

Might depend on what she was wearing. Then again, maybe not.

@Dave Doolin, Hmmm, sounds interesting. I wonder if these come in Catwoman style for the ladies.

I know I’m a little late on this one, but I wouldn’t be caught dead in the Batman panties for men haha. Great post and I couldn’t even imagine Wal-Mart on Christmas Eve.

@Extreme John, Better late than never I always say. Of course that’s usually to justify my being late getting somewhere. I know if these were worn as a prelude to sex then sex would be delayed for some time as I don’t think I could stop laughing, even after they were off. I would just keep seeing them.
And, Walmart any day ~ ugh!
