I'm a commando now
First time "commando style"
Guess what I forgot to pack in my trunk bag today? I'll really have to get an emergency clothing set stashed in my office, this is not the only time I've forgotten an article of clothing.

Why anyone would wear underwear with bike shorts is beyond me quite frankly.

I believe he meant he forgot his undies to wear for work since he is already commando on the bike with cycling shorts on(a guess).

I actually bought a pair of Dallas Cowboys boxers at the grocery store around the corner last month under similar circumstances.

if only WaWa sold underwear...
for the record, I meant that I was sans underwear for my office clothes, not bold enough to wear my lycra bike shorts and regular shirt for Corptopia - would look a tad strange. "Commando style" they will never know the horrors lurking beneath....

I got over going commando when I was a commando. Except when it's cold out.

Thought about that, but decided otherwise based on
a)would look like I was wearing depends
and probably more importantly
b)colony of skin eating bacteria would attack my pride and joy(s)
It's been a long, long time since I've gone commando, wasn't that bad - just think of them as very long, coarse bathing trunks...

LOL I did the same thing yesterday! Of course, I wear gym shorts over my bike shorts when riding to the office, so i just wore those. Not as bad as I thought it was going to be, but I still don't really want to do that again.

I do this time and time again. No way I would wear my bike shorts throughout the day - yuck. Commando it is, and I don't mind.

I thought everyone went commando - at work, home, or wherever.
