Sorry Susan, I am not the (in)famous RSM. I know how disappointed you must be. This is me with my daughter.

Aha! There you are Peggy Sue! Caught you red-handed teasing the boys again! You mean to tell me boys have more than one part? Are you talking about the two bits that wobble there under the magic cucumber (I believe that's what it's been referred to as in this thread)? I think those are called olives.

Oh honey, I may be a little late in the game, but believe me, I'm going over this thread with a fine-tooth comb... Stay tuned for more reactions if I am able to remain coherent.

I'm still seeing YELLOW! I believe that image will be imprinted on our collective female retinae for some time to come. I'm thinking of planning a trip to Brixton. Any cycling enthusiast escorts in yellow shorts available to show me... around?

Hey there less'go - any reaction to the creative post #62 back on page 5. I thought it was really funny, but alas, the talent scouts haven't come a-knockin'. I actually own a pair of all-pink riding shorts and I fold the "magic cucumber" in half for no one!

PS - You live in Paris, right? Are you accepting room reservations for the Tour de France finish?

Well, mate, will you believe it if I told you I know that song? One of my best girlfriends introduced it to me, and it became our theme song for a while... We even got one of those tiny penises you can put in water and it expands... Put it in a nice glass bottle and it was up on the mantlepiece for all to admire... I can't believe anyone else remembers that song!

I do believe we are on to something... however, what do you do with the one you've already got (I don't actually have one of my own, but I hear that men usually come equipped)??? I mean would you want both the detachable model and the standard version?

And FWIW, you are right, you should not fold the cucumber in half for anyone... unless of course she asks you to

P.S. I am taking room reservations, but I'll need a photo in said pink shorts before I decide... I am currenlty holding an option for Mr. Yellow, though... It's not that size matters all that much, but his photo is, well... fascinating, to say the least...

I mean, heck, I have detachable Oakley sunglass lenses for my M-frame. So why not different "penile packages" depending on the social situation or activity. (Terry, are you listening?! )

Whatever you were born with would be the "Standard Model" - the default attachment. We're all used to its ups and downs, how to handle it, what makes it work, etc. etc. etc. Then, for cycling you'd want to wear the "Unobtrusive" model. It would feature minimal performance characteristics and mininal space requirements - you get the idea . The deluxe version, (popular for racers who pee on the go) has an extendible shaft so that no wind splash-backs occur.

The "Blue Ball Free" model eliminates that nasty pain that renders you non-functional when you're running the bases and get thrown out sliding into home. The pain of a drug-free child birth is probably greater , but a case of blue balls after an unconsummated make-out or petting session is pretty bad. No more - you have a Detachable Penis! Oh! Joy to the world!

And what about the "Disposable Detachable Penis (DDP)" version? No more condoms! No more disease risk! And ladies, no more contraceptives! The DDP shoots blanks (no baby-makers in the batter) and turns an un-natural color if it's been somewhere it should not have been. But no worries mate , you don't need to see a doctor for The Cure, simply detach and dispose of the DDP and use a new one when the time is right - like Viagra, eh?

So, what do you think? Are we on to something here?

I think the "transparency" of the shorts is related more to the material and quality of the lycra, to size and quality of the pad and finally to the time of use than to the color.

I have a friend who has a very white skin and he uses his BLACK shorts so tight, that actually one can see through them.

I told him once, but I guess he like his shorts, he still use them.
