[JoseyR3Wales]

Josey please disregard most things that I write, most people on here know I am an ******* at times, we have riders in my club who swear by the FT suits and as I said I used to use them all the time untill one melted on my exhaust.
The main reason that I am able to attend the RAA meets is that I ref soccer games at every opportunity and save the money for my trips, with two kids in college I have to make sure that they are okay for what they need before I go on my little adventures.
looking forward to seeing you in Maggie Valley.

I have apologized to Dave in private and now I shall do so publicly. I am sorry for my reprehensible outburst that was unwarranted and unnecessary. His reply was not intended as I took it and he is a fine gentleman, I on the other hand, am not. See all of you in the mountains. Please forgive me my trespasses and others that may trespass against thee. J3W.

Wikipedia actually has the complete definition, can you believe it?!

Going commando - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Going commando

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the video game, see Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando.
Going commando is the practice of not wearing underwear under one's outer clothing. The term is theorised to be related to the much earlier term "going regimental", which refers to wearing the kilt military style, that is, without underwear. (see True Scotsman)
In Chile, the act of not wearing underwear has been called "andar a lo gringo" (to go gringo-style) for decades.[1][2]

[edit] Earliest uses

The origins of the phrase are uncertain, with some speculating that it may refer to being "out in the open" or "ready for action". Slate magazine's Daniel Engber dates the modern usage to college campuses circa 1974, where it was perhaps associated with soldiers in the Vietnam War, who were reputed to go without underwear to "increase ventilation and reduce moisture."[3] The earliest known use of the term in print occurred on January 22, 1985 when Jim Spencer wrote in the Chicago Tribune "Furthermore, colored briefs are 'sleazy' and going without underwear ("going commando", as they say on campus) is simply gross." A 1996 episode of the television sitcom Friends, "The One Where No One's Ready", has been credited with introducing the term "into the popular vernacular."[4]
[edit] Benefits

Going without underwear is said to have certain benefits. Caroline F. Pukall of Queen's University states that going without underwear while sleeping can have significant benefits to the vulva. Going commando also reduces the humidity and temperature around the pelvis. This brings this area of the body to a more natural state, which some people prefer. [5]
Benefits often cited for men include allowing the testicles to more freely move closer to (for warmth) and away from the body (to cool down), allowing them to remain at a more constant and healthy temperature. For some with sensitive skin, penile irritation can result from highly restrictive underwear, exacerbated by erections. (On the other hand, if the outer clothing is somewhat rough or abrasive, this can cause similarly undesirable results.)

Never mind what HellFire just wrote, here it is easy and simple.
How the hell can I wear underwear with my kilt.



As anyone can see underwear would spoil the look.

Seeing the Friends reference in the definition caught my attention, they credit Joey with making it mainstream. Never heard the "Going Gringo" term before, Scot will have to use that one at his next Kilt-fest event. LOL

I posted on the fuel saving thread and here also. I just got my first ticket and hopefully last. A total fine and court cost of $183.00 is the best way to conserve fuel that I know of. Just call me slow and steady.
