"...banning nudity on the main roads and within 250 feet of any school or place of worship, among other places.
There goes naked Bingo night at church.

That old naked guy with the fanny pack had Alzheimers and was lost. And that wasn't a fanny pack....

Ew, ddd. Now you can just pass that newly full bottle of brain bleach right this way, please.

Nude teenagers, no problem. Nude elderly guy with a fanny pack -- RED ALERT!
Posted by: Wavey | July 19, 2007 at 01:25 PM
Does this mean that I can't shop naked anymore?
Wait, since I only do that at Amazon, I should still be okay. Unless I want to go to the library to do it.
Posted by: Clean Hands | July 19, 2007 at 01:29 PM
Yay, Clark!
Posted by: DeskDiva | July 19, 2007 at 01:31 PM
i wouldn't mind the nude window shopping, it would be the clothes shopping with the necessary try ons that would get to me.
Posted by: crossgirl | July 19, 2007 at 01:31 PM
Judi - That is one of my favorite movies.
And just about the funniest line.
Thanx

I shouted "Don't Look, Ethel!" But it was too late. She'd already been incensed!
Posted by: wiredog | July 19, 2007 at 01:33 PM
It was too late...She'd already got a free shot
Grandstanded...Right there in front of the home team

"...a group of teens took to hanging around a downtown parking lot in the buff."
Now THAT is an example of "bored teenagers" - lol
Remember that one day in 1979, at Haulover beach.....streaking was waaaay more fun once the police gave pursuit - (oops, did I just say that)
Posted by: ifits_not_1thing_its3 | July 19, 2007 at 01:41 PM
Yep, its3 - you did. ;o)

As long as The Streak and the Mississippi Squirrel don't run into each other.

Just want to make sure His Blogness knows that at least one demi-geezer out here caught the "The Russians are Coming" reference in the headline.
My buds and I used to imitate the Russians saying "eMAIRRRRgent-zee" until our older sisters slapped us.

"It took an elderly man wearing only a fanny pack and wandering through the center of town last week for the Select Board to decide it had seen enough."----yeah, isn't that all it takes?! Buff teens, well, wait for winter, we're too lazy to vote on it. Ugly old geezer, OMG, emergency legislation!!
Posted by: Bethie | July 19, 2007 at 02:21 PM
*DING DING DING*!!
pad wins trip to Vermont nuddie town!!
(I had forgotten that reference and had to look it up)
good job!
Posted by: Siouxie | July 19, 2007 at 02:27 PM
Yes, padraig - I caught it too and appreciated it.
"The Wrinkleds are coming, the Wrinkleds are coming!"
and I still say 'eMAIRRRgent-zee!'
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | July 19, 2007 at 02:27 PM
Correction - thank you, JUDI the BLOG-GODDESS, for referencing that good ol' movie.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | July 19, 2007 at 02:30 PM
Once again, as a card carrying nudist this stuff just amazes me. Buncha paranoid prudes.
Posted by: Layzeeboy | July 19, 2007 at 02:44 PM
Layzee, question?? where do you carry the card? hmm?
Posted by: Siouxie | July 19, 2007 at 02:54 PM
Hey all you yunguns! Check post at 1:32.
A person of advanced years was way
ahead of you. (And keep your paws off
my rocking chair on top of the geezer bus!)
Posted by: vin39 | July 19, 2007 at 02:57 PM
*DING! DING! DING!*
***CORRECTION***
vin WINS! (sorry) don't forget the Polydent™ and smile for the camera.)
*snap!*

I heard this story this morning on a local radio morning show and I figured the fanny packs were because there would be no other way to carry around necessary information.
I also greatly appreciate the movie line, as that's one of the best movies of the '60s with such a great cast. I think my favorite line, though, is when Carl Reiner finally has it and tells Eva Marie Saint to hit their kid. Best scene is the search for the car keys in the purse. And, all this is coming from a decidedly non-geezer who is celebrating her 27th year on earth today. I was just lucky enough to have been raised right!

Hapy birthday MareBaer ! -
(and I still understand why all of a sudden there's such a fuss; if you seen one fanny-pack, you seen 'em all)
Posted by: ifits_not_1thing_its3 | July 19, 2007 at 03:47 PM
(....still "don't"....even)
Posted by: ifits_not_1thing_its3 | July 19, 2007 at 03:48 PM
Have a wonderful birthing day, Mare!!
Posted by: Siouxie | July 19, 2007 at 03:52 PM
good work vin! and padraig too ;)
wasn't it alan arkin who taught the others to say it?
Posted by: judi | July 19, 2007 at 04:32 PM
It was, Judi. When the Russians first attempted if publicly, they scared the bejeebus out of a little boy. heehee!
Posted by: MareBear | July 19, 2007 at 04:35 PM
Yes, Vin, you were ahead of me. Your kung fu is greater than mine.
But 'twas I what nailed the phonetic spelling.
Posted by: padraig | July 19, 2007 at 05:00 PM
You're supposed to get naked while in the shower?? Who knew?....that explains a lot. *writes note to self to tell other Arkansas people*
