Naked: Good.
Naked on glacier: Not so much.

Nekkid+Glacier=Shrinkage.
Yep.

I think I now see the essential between glaciers and shrinkage. Thanks Greenpeace!

I think I now see the essential relationship between glaciers and shrinkage. Thanks Greenpeace!
What post at 11:41?
Posted by: cowhand214 | July 20, 2007 at 11:42 AM
cowhand,
I know us guys are afraid of relationship, but omitting it completely is impressive.

Where's the

Anybody else wondering how thousands of people are going to be able to show up at an 'undisclosed location'?
Posted by: fivver | July 20, 2007 at 11:53 AM
Undisclothed location?
Posted by: fivver | July 20, 2007 at 11:54 AM
won't the heat from thousands of people huddled together 'march of the penguins'-style on the glacier melt it faster?

*SNORK* at fivver, and good point, Insom.

If the project needs a babysitter, there is a link today to a great candidate.
Who would have thought that so many Swiss people want to get back at their ex-es?
Posted by: Not My Usual Alias | July 20, 2007 at 12:04 PM
Now we could just freeze their butts to the glacier and remove them from the gene pool...

Anybody else think that this photographer dude is just a perv and just wants to see naked people?? all in the interest of "art"??
no??
ok...nevermind.
Posted by: Siouxie | July 20, 2007 at 12:13 PM
*thousands of nekkid swiss? there's gotta be a 'swiss cheese' joke in there somewhere but(t) no, that would be so wrong*
*smacks self to save Siouxie the trouble*
Posted by: fivver | July 20, 2007 at 12:14 PM
Ah, another bunch of misguided people standing around naked to protest some non-existent crisis. This stunt is so overplayed, it's boring. At least get somebody good looking.
Posted by: Wavey | July 20, 2007 at 12:15 PM
I think I'll just lie down on the glacier, roll over, and kiss my @ss goodbye....
Posted by: CJrun | July 20, 2007 at 12:16 PM
Siouxie, that was my first thought. I agree completely.
Posted by: Laurie | July 20, 2007 at 12:27 PM
Non-existence of the glaciers is, of course, the problem, or at least the symptom.
Posted by: ScottMGS | July 20, 2007 at 12:36 PM
Nah.

I don't think there is a bus from The OC to Zurich. Damn.

*snorkage* @ Annie!
Starring Peter Pan and his lost boys???
Posted by: Siouxie | July 20, 2007 at 01:00 PM
Let's see...will we be thinking, "Darn, that glacier is shrinking." or "Darn, that's a lot of naked people."?
Posted by: gjd | July 20, 2007 at 01:19 PM
*snork* back & ^5 to Siouxie.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | July 20, 2007 at 01:20 PM
If they're looking for an "undisclosed location" they are welcome to do the shoot at the Fortress of Solitude.... No body but me and Lois and the Dominos pizza guy know where it is, eh?
Posted by: Clark Kent | July 20, 2007 at 01:23 PM
So... as I now understand it, in order to have hundreds of women show up and take off their clothes, all I need to do is say that it would be a "protest" against the "War on Global Warming waged by the Starving Whales of Darfur who are Hunted for their Fur by the World Trade Organization. (WGWSWDHFWTO)"

*lightbulb* so guys, i'm going to be doing this big assemblage project that's kind of secret, but i need you all to remove your clothes and line up in interesting poses. supporting the arts is tax deductable you know....
Posted by: crossgirl | July 20, 2007 at 01:27 PM
hehe ^5 Annie!
gjd, what glacier?
Posted by: Siouxie | July 20, 2007 at 01:27 PM
Zurich - dateline Augtober 43, 3576,...
Archeologists today discovered the remains of several thousand people near the site of a former 'glacier'. While so called 'icemen' were found quite frequently in previous years, never have so many been unearthed at one time.
One intriguing fact is that none of the bodies were wearing clothes, leading to speculation off some kind of fertility ritual.
Professor Pentium Weintraub said, "You must remember these people came from a time of great cold where nakedness was not a practical necessity, as it is today. It was a time when both Swiss cheese and Swiss chocolate were available in solid form. Such a large group of naked people would only have been present to propitiate one of their ancient gods, such as St. Bill, protector of the inappropriately s*xual."
His colleague Karla St.Wozniak Blumgarten thinks instead they were victims of a horrible accident, pointing to the general unattractiveness of those found, "You'd think they'd pick more lookers for a fertility ritual." She instead thought it was a gathering to celebrate the accession of Al, occupant of the Green House and founder of the group the Al Gore Rhythym, that slipped and fell on the 'ice'.

Interviewer speaking to female volunteer: "We'd like you to take off your clothes to protest Global Warming."
Female volunteer: "Well, I'm not sure about this. But if you think it will help, I might."
Interviewer speaking to male volunteer: "We'd like you to take off you clothes to... Sir, not now. Really I must insist! Do I need to call security?"
Posted by: Hammond Rye | July 20, 2007 at 01:38 PM
cg & ass't - you may want to organ-ize them by 'height.'
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | July 20, 2007 at 01:38 PM
The classified term for this project is "Operation Frightened Turtle."
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | July 20, 2007 at 01:41 PM
i'm thinking these are some very confidant guys.

Sure hope that guy isn't just some pervert going, "Okay, now we will get naked and take pictures for glaciers! Okay, now for animal rights! Okay, now for vegetarianism! Okay, now for human rights!"

LOL!
*waves @ Hammie!!* Sorry I'm late with the wave today - I'm still recuperatin' from last night's show!
Posted by: DeskDiva | July 20, 2007 at 02:30 PM
The guy did one of his shoots here in Cleveland. I didn't attend, but I know people who did, and from what one woman told me, it was "miles and miles of old naked people and erect nipples" (still one of my favorite phrases of all time).
Posted by: Scott | July 20, 2007 at 02:30 PM
After they freeze their assets up there, they're gonna beg for their globes to be warmed.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | July 20, 2007 at 02:31 PM
*Waves @ DD!!! Waves @ Siouxie!!!*
How was the show?
Posted by: Hammond Rye | July 20, 2007 at 02:32 PM
Speaking of erect nipples (and we were, weren't we?). Most of our attention has been towards the shrinkage of the men and not the perkiness of the nipplelage.
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Posted by: Siouxie | July 20, 2007 at 02:35 PM
Okay Siouxie, I'm ready. Click away.
Posted by: fivver | July 20, 2007 at 02:37 PM
*Waves back @ Hammie!!*
Give it up for "The Frozen Hoohas"!!!
Posted by: Siouxie | July 20, 2007 at 02:38 PM
awwww fivver...it's so cute!!!
*snorks*
Posted by: Siouxie | July 20, 2007 at 02:39 PM
HOT, that's how, Hammie! Heavy costumes (though really beautiful) and SERIOUSLY humid. We were supposed to get some rain, but it barely materialized, so the air just HUNG like wet velvet curtains. My feet are swollen, my face is swollen, but we had a GREAT cast party afterwards, so it was all worth it! ;-D
Seriously, the show went off without a hitch and we had a great time with it. And I looked stunning in my purple linen gown, if I say so m'self. :-)

Insom, was that meant to be MY great... great grandson?

Congratulations, DD! How many more performances?

*applauds wildy then falls to floor in fits of laughter*
Posted by: crossgirl | July 20, 2007 at 03:02 PM
3 more this weekend, then 3 next weekend (Thurs, Fri, Sat). My feet will be SOOOO glad of a four-day rest in between! And we do have a cast party every night, of course. That's the tradition with this group. :-)
So what do you do in YOUR spare time, Hammie?!
Posted by: DeskDiva | July 20, 2007 at 03:21 PM
Read, sail, work at *other* job, obey the whims of my cats.

Meet "Professional Karaoke Singer", Mr. Hammond Rye!
Posted by: Siouxie | July 20, 2007 at 03:40 PM
Never in pink, Siouxie...
*Snork!*
Posted by: Hammond Rye | July 20, 2007 at 03:41 PM
I probably should have mentioned I was in the grocery store. Some guy hollered "Don't look, Mabel," then tried to run me over with a shopping cart....
Posted by: CJrun | July 20, 2007 at 03:45 PM
;-P
hehe
Posted by: Siouxie | July 20, 2007 at 03:45 PM
*smooch* Hammie! you know I luv ya!!
Posted by: Siouxie | July 20, 2007 at 03:48 PM
my name's not mabel, but it was too late anyhow.
Posted by: crossgirl | July 20, 2007 at 03:49 PM
For the record, Siouxie, I am forbidden by Articles of the Geneva Conventions to actually sing in the presence of living creatures. It's for the best.
Posted by: Hammond Rye | July 20, 2007 at 03:52 PM
That's all right, Hammie. I'll sing for the both of us.
And Siouxie - didja HAFTA?! OH, my achin' eyes!!

How'd Sio access my MySpace site?
Posted by: CJrun | July 20, 2007 at 04:06 PM
edgar- no, ... unless you want it to be,...is 'pentium' a family name?
Posted by: insomniac | July 20, 2007 at 04:10 PM
No, no one in my family is named Pentium. But he shares a last name, so I thought maybe it was a possibility.
Posted by: Edgar Greenberg | July 20, 2007 at 04:20 PM
... sorta hadda look @ that last sentence again, to make sure it din't say ...
" ... come by pubic transportation ..."
