Under Pants - The Ultimate Mr Picky Pants Quest

I've been trying to find new underpants every since Mrs. Picky Panties told me the tighty whities must go. I figured boxer briefs was a good compromise...

Since there are very few boxer reviews. I had to go buy a bunch of them. (There are some reviews at: http://freshpair.com And, yes, I know I am insane.)

My favorites so far are:

  • Calvin Klein Boxer Brief (U3010) - Good material, nicely made. Pretty loose. Bunches up on legs a bit.
  • Polo Ralph Lauren Boxer Brief - Very similar to Calvin Klein, fit slightly worse.
  • BVD Classic Boxer Briefs - Similar to Polo / Calvin but way way cheaper. Material not as nice though.

And things I don't like:

  • Calvin Klein 365 Boxer Brief (U5615) - Best of the stretchy ones. But still rides up on your legs.
  • Calvin Klein Flexible Fit Boxer Brief (U2108) - Good stretchy ones. (Fancy XLA stuff.) But still a bit hot & rides up.
  • Polo Ralph Lauren Stretch Boxer Briefs - Too bunchy, rides up, tight, and hot.
  • Jockey Cotton Boxer Briefs - Leg elastic too tight. Made for stick legged folks.
  • Jockey GO Stretch Classic Boxer Briefs - Too hot and leg elastic too tight.
  • Jockey GO Stretch Classic (no pocket) Boxer Briefs - Too hot and leg elastic too tight.
  • Stanford Stretch Briefs - Too hot and tight. LOL
  • Fruit of the Loom Boxer Briefs - Bad fit and itchy material.

I want a slightly stretchy pair that isn't hot and annoying... But I haven't found it yet.

I know you don't care what I pick out... But it makes Mrs Picky Panties happy. And maybe it will result in Profit assuming I figure out what Step 2 is... (It probably doesn't involve buying under pants though since that results in negative-profit. But maybe the Gnomes weren't looking for monetary Profit either.)

iTunes - "Track 1" is NOT ok

It drives me crazy when someone sends me an mp3 that doesn't have the Title, Album, or Artist correct.

My favorite is "Track 1". Who says "Oh yea, 'Track 1'... I love that song!" Or "Artist" is my favorite singer.


At least add the following:
Title, Album, Artist

And if you are feeling nice:
Track Number, Disc Number, Year, Genre, Album Art

Oh... And make sure they are right...

If you are lazy like me, just look them up on Amazon MP3 downloads or iTunes Music Store...

  • Amazon: Just do a basic search (full album art is in the MP3 store though.)
  • iTunes: iTunes Store; find the song, then right click "get info"

Once you get the Album and Artist correct most of the time you can just download Album Art from iTunes.

That wasn't so hard right?

Intro - Mr Picky Pants

This is a blog for all the things I am picky about... Or picky reviews if you like.

The only problem is that Mr. Picky Pants is lazy, so good luck seeing what I am picky about.
