Panties puzzle: Thousands left on Ohio road

[Nagishkaw 510]

LANCASTER, Ohio - Authorities in central Ohio are trying to solve a panties puzzle: why hundreds of pairs of mostly women's underwear were dumped along the side of a road.

Fairfield County Deputy Gary Hummel said Thursday the undergarments were found in trees and on hillsides in several spots this week on a road in Berne Township, about 30 miles southeast of Columbus.

He says some of the panties were still folded the way they'd come in packaging, while others appeared to have been worn. There were between 1,500 and 3,000 pairs in all, in a mix of colors and patterns. Hummel says when collected, they filled 10 large trash bags.

He says investigators are "baffled" as to where the panties came from.

There were four dumping locations along a one mile-stretch of road, reports CBS News affiliate WBNS Columbus.

The Fairfield County Sheriff's Office said they believed they were dumped in bags from discount and grocery stores.

"I came up and looked for myself and after I got here I couldn't believe what I was seeing," said Jim Carmichael, Berne Township Trustee. "We're just looking at it like somebody has done this and we want to find out who done it."

Hmm - do Frosh still do 'pantie raids' during Orientation week in Colleges/Universities?

We didn't have any in college, but I do recall that it was traditional for 5th Form (junior year at my high school) boys to raid the underwear drawers of the 5th Form girls while the latter were being hazed by the 6th Formers one night in May. We 5th Formers knew it would happen during a specific night, and we all got "kidnapped" and blindfolded by the girls a year above us, then forced to walk holding hands to a "secret location" (the dining hall) while they called us babies and squirted whipped cream and threw jello on us. While we were out getting initiated into the mystic secrets of 6th Form girls and their traditions, the boys came to our rooms, stole our panties and threw them in the trees all over campus. There were some still up there a month later.

All of this seems so borderline smutty that I can't believe it happened as late as 1990. I bet Kip would pay good money to watch a bunch of 17 year old girls in shortie pajamas, blindfolded and getting covered in whipped cream and jello.

I am guessing there was alcohol involved.

Isn't Lancaster Ohio where all the Amish are? Maybe they finally cracked and just went crazy and had a huge orgy...oh wouldn't THAT be a sight?
