I mentioned last month that friend of mine had gotten tickets to go see Eminem. While I am excited that I get to go have fun and hang out with one of my best friends who I rarely see now that she has moved to Tampa, I'm feeling a little unsure about something she is planning for the concert: Operation Big Panties.

OBP involves getting a pair of really big undies, writing all sorts of fun messages on them, and then chucking them at the stage. And no, I can't take credit for thinking up this plan. The blame lies solely at the feet of a certain Sportslady who successfully completed the original OBP at an REO Speedwagon concert back in my college days. I didn't give it too much thought when she originally mentioned, but earlier today when on the phone she brought OBP up again and I felt the need to point out the difficulties we would face that the original OBP was not hampered by. The biggest problem being location, location, location. Then my friend dropped the bomb. We are sitting close to the stage. Very close. Throwing distance close. Which leaves me with several concerns:

1) What exactly did my friend do to get such good tickets? Did it involve giving up my first born child?

2) Would a crowd of Eminem and 50 Cent fans beat the living tar out of a girl who chucks really big panties at the stage? And if so, what is my responsibility

3) How much bail money will I need to get something out of the pokey for chucking big panties at Eminem?

Is it just me, or does this whole scheme sound like something Georgia Nicolson would do?
