Annual Underpants Run

[alohabear]

I found this story (http://www.thenewstribune.com/24hour/weird/story/2801808p-11432779c.html) on the annual Underpants Run in Kailua , Kona . It's a fun run held as part of the Iron Man events. I was wondering why any of our local media didn't pick this story up as a fun human interest thing on the local news. They show dogs dressed in Halloween outfits for GOD's sake. :D

A clip was shown on last night's Channel 2 News.

People running around in their underwear for a good cause. Now this is something we could use more of! :D

Damned near close to another trend a while ago:
remember streaking? that was for a good cause i suppose. We all enjoyed it. back in the day when it was a one month fad, a bunch of us streaked during the Kalakua Waikiki St pat's day parade.
mid 70's, I worked at the Bum Steer owned by Carl Racy below the outrigger west, where nashville Waikiki is now. One day while tending bar, a couple stewardesses were at my bar and bet me 50 bucks i wouldn't streak. being cheap and easy, then, (ok, not much has changed) I did the deed, only to return to an empty bar. They ripped me off for the 50 clams i won and also the bar tab.

being cheap and easy, then, (ok, not much has changed) Hey you said it. Not me. :D

That's o.k. about them rippin' the 50 clams. Probably the excitement of doin' it must've been priceless! :cool:

heard about the dude who got arrested after streaking?
he was let off because of insufficient evidence.
har.
