Those of you who are longer term readers of The Green Man will know that The Green Man has a soft spot for public nudity. It is one of those harmless outrageous things that makes the world a lot more interesting and its most adventurous form is streaking at major events. We could have done with a streaker or two at the Grand Final last Saturday. It would have given some joy to the majority of the audience, who were Collingwood fans.
There is not a lot to learn if you are planning a forey into the wild and crazy world of streaking.
Step 1. Find a large crowd
Step 2. Lose the clothes
Step 3. Run like buggery
If you are still unsure and wish to brush up on the finer points then you can visit Streakerama which provides detailed and informative pages on current streaking practice. There is a small amount of nudity there but not much, you are supposed to be providing that.
My personal crusade is for all politicians to have to give their televised policy speaches in the nude. Now that would bring some honesty back into politics (and make for much more humorous television).

I've never streaked in "public" per se, but...I have some stories from my days in the dorms at college. So I guess I've streaked in an "all-male" public anyway. As for other situations...it's not streaking if it's acceptable in the context, right? Hmm...
Maybe I should write up some of my funny college+nudity adventures for my blog. On second thought...I've been accused of blogging too much on nude-related topics as it is. Maybe I'd better lay low for a while... :-)
The politician thing reminds me of a story I've read about President L. B. Johnson. Apparently he had a unique way of dealing with government officials who he was having a hard time getting to do what he wanted them to do. He'd invite them over for a Whitehouse pool party. When they arrived, and aide would tell them that the President was busy, but to go ahead and start swimming, he'd join them shortly. Oh, and don't worry about wearing clothes, the President preferrs to skinnydip.
So...the politicos would strip down and start swimming and having a good time. After a few minutes LBJ would show up...dressed to the hilt in 3-piece suit and tie. He'd pull up a chair to the edge of the pool and immediately begin negotiating political issues with the guys...knowing very well that they were at a tremendous psychological disadvantage. Gives a whole new meaning to the term "dirty pool."

Posted by: GreenMan at September 30, 2003 02:20 PMYeah, you're probably right. Especially if by "nude blogging" you mean "blogging whilst in the nude"...
