I always wondered why the UnderArmour stuff was so expensive. Then I read the owner explain in the paper how it has some stuff in the weave to protect hockey players from skate blade penetration. Reminded me of chain-mail for athletes. So, if no-one is going to attack you with sharp objects on your run..look elsewhere.

Sweet Mother of Mercy...I leave you guys alone for a couple of weeks and it all goes to h*ll...

And what would you know about those? I heard you were once looking for THOSE in lavender too!

I can't believe I missed all this nonsense. It would take a couple of bottles of wine for Kara to direct me to this thread in the middle of the night...

Holly, don't make me hit the exclamation point button! This thread should have been banned months ago and all magnetic traces removed from all the Internet servers in the world! I'm going to take up a petition with all the men on this site to stamp out this thread! Mant*** indeed!

I think we need elections for Site Administrators and Mods.

My platform:

1. Anything about Manties is banned!
