Question

[San Holo]

I got back from Kauai last week, and came home with a question for everyone.. If you went to a beach and it turned out to be a nude beach, would you stay and swim? naked?

[Overthrow]

Yes. I would swim nude.

[VP]

What's wrong with swimming naked? I do it all the time during the summer, as all Finns do.

[IndyBuff]

I wouldn't. Call me old-fashioned but I prefer to be wearing something to cover myself up and I would wish the same for everyone else. It's one thing if you're alone but an entire beach of people would be too much, in my opinion.

It sounds like you may have an interesting story for us, San. Care to explain?;)

Ha, yeah, San Holo. What did you do?

[ClintonHammond]

" If you went to a beach and it turned out to be a nude beach, would you stay and swim? naked?"

What do you mean, IF?? I'll go to a nude beach at the drop of a hat! Clothng is a modern contrivance.... We evolved nude.... We're born nude.... be nude every chance you get!

[Indy Parise]

be nude every chance you get!
Unless you ar in a place with lots of pedophiles or where you can get arrested.:D

[ClintonHammond]

I have nothing to fear from pedophiles.... I'm not a child.

No!!!!!!:D I don't like beaches in the first place. Sand would just be annoying especially if one is nude. Besides, I simply don't feel comfortable to do so. And I have other reasons, but I don't think I need to explain it all.

Please do. :p

The big problem I have with being nude at the beach is the fact I never did it. As the result my ass and all the area under my shorts is very pale. I would hate to see those areas exposed to the sun for a longer period of time. I have no problem with some redness on my shoulders but I would have a lot of problem with my dick being on fire.

I took a boat ride around Dubrovnik and a small nearby island during my trip to Croatia. One side of the island was designated specifically for those who wanted to sunbathe nude - the idiot tourists on my boat decided to take the opportunity to snap pictures. I, personally, wouldn't have a problem with sitting on the beach nude until some jack@$$ decides to stare at me or take pictures.

[roundshort]

Basically, withthe exception of South Beach in Mimi, the genreal rule of thumb I have found with people that go to nude beachs is simple,

the people that want to be nude, we do not want to see nude.

I get chills thiking of some of the nasty . . .

[Jay R. Zay]

i wouldn't simply because it is a ridiculous idea inspiring people who lead ridiculous lives. it isn't some kind of "culture" as the german term "FKK", "freikörperkultur" (bare body culture) suggests. it's the childish idea that it's clothing what seperates man from animal. for me it is brain capacity but then again i find it understandable that this isn't regarded as the universal difference by everyone.

if those people think they can kiss mother earth by bathing naked (in huge crowds, wasting shore areas, disturbing native animals), okay. but if i want to go shopping in Hannover and find there is a nazi or communist demonstration, i don't join them just to visit Hannover. joining such a crowd means in some way accepting their ideals. and as their ideals are absolutely nonsense to me - no, i wouldn't join them.

[Gustav]

I thought every beach was a nude beach.

Not really. I hate going to the beach. If I were in a foreign country I wouldn't waste my time there going to the beach unless there was something historically significant or it was famously beautiful or something like that.

And Roundshort and Jay are wise. Listen to what they say.

[Indyologist]

Nope, I wouldn't do it. My body's a temple, not an amusement park!

Speaking of which,

I would have a lot of problem with my dick being on fire.

Is this appropriate, mods?

[Rumpled Fedora]

Does no one use this button? (http://raven.theraider.net/images/buttons/report.gif) Or does it just not work?

[Indyologist]

Yes. I would swim nude.

Wouldn't this fry your alien circuits?

[Overthrow]

My circuits were made in the U.S.A.

I am disappointed. I thought you thought I was God, Margaret.

[Indyologist]

So are our automobiles. I pity you.

I hate beaches. I went to Bondi Beach during a family holiday in Sydney, and it was sooooo tiny. Surfers Paradise Beach is better and bigger and good for surfers. Btw, did you ever see my profile pic in full???

Please do. :p

Of course, you'd want to know, wouldn't you???;) :p

A riddle about menstruation. Interesting.

[Jay R. Zay]

of course not. that's why qwerty doesn't want to lie nude in the sun.

[Gustav]

Yes. Very cool picture. You couldn't tell in the small version that you were holding a gun and you're just casually smiling like it's a picture in the yearbook. I like the style of it, it looks like a speakeasy. Where did you have that taken?

This is one of those things I do not understand. Are people so afraid of certain words that if they hear them anywhere they just freak out.
OK, mods, or anyone, correct my post in any way you find necessary.

[VP]

Got any pics? :p ;)

I don't understand them either, this is a perfectly good context IMO.

Americans are ultra conservative. They'd scream at the sight of the nude woman on the back of a European daily newspaper. I think it's fine that you choose to state that your dick would be on fire from a sunburn, but it looks like others don't want to hear it. LOL ;)

I had it taken at a place called Old Time Photos in the tourist part of the Gold Coast, called Surfers Paradise. Basically, they have four sets from different eras, one Victorian, two Western and one 1920s "Bugsy's Bar". It was my parents anniversary and we decided to do something fun. We were in Surfers for the weekend and since my parents haven't done an old fashioned pic since their honeymoon, and my brother and I have never, we decided to do it. My Dad (being Italian) wanted to do a Gangster 1920s theme, so we did it. There are more photos, the one I posted was the personal portrait. We have a family one and one of my brother. In the family one, I'm holding a shot of whiskey, my brother and Dad holding tommy guns and my Mum with a cigarette stick thing and playing cards. If anyone comes to Surfers Paradise, I totally recommend to do one shoot. They also provide the costumes "one size fits all" and accessories.

[Indy Parise]

Violet, there are TONS of places like that on the NJ boardwalks. They are mostly called "Flashback, Old Tyme Photos" I've got tons of pics from there. Maybe I'll post them eventually.

[Violet Indy]

Really? Cool. I'd like to see some pics, whenever you can post them up. Either at FC or here.

Can do. I've got quite a few. One is when I was around 10 years old with me and my sister. We are sitting at a bar and I have a Tommy gun. Another is me, my sister, my two cousins, and my best friend and his brother. My Cousin Robert and My friend Chris are on either side of a bar holding Tommy guns, Chris's brother and I are on the bar. I'm holding a Mac-10 and he has (I don't remember well) I think it was a Colt. Then My cousin Lauren and my little sister are on the bar with cigarettes. Then, I got a personal portrait of me sitting down, a Tommy Gun on my lap and a cigar in one hand and then one of me and my sister in which she is in a dress and I am in a suit and long coat with a tommy gun. We always pick the Gangster theme although they have victorian, western, and civil war themes.

[Gustav]

I've seen places like that too, but they were all just for the old west. We have a restaurant in Florida called Capone's and they have a stage show almost every night. Before it starts they have everybody wait in a line outside and a mobster comes by and gives everybody a "password". Then when he goes away a G-man comes along and starts trying to sweat everyone down but he gives up and goes away. Then they start letting people in a few at a time and when you get in it's just like a little gift shop with toy trucks and candy and souveniers and stuff and then the top half of a secret door opens and a guy asks you for the password. When you tell him the password he opens the door and lets you in and there's this huge room with a balcony wrapping around it and a stage and there are mobsters everywhere. The waiters are mobsters too and they won't think twice about threatening to shoot you.

[Indy Parise]

In Chicago there is a place like that (in fact it was once an actual speakeasy owned by Al Capone, who I happen to be related to) called Tommy Gun's garage. You walk down a street and see the sign for the place pointing down an alley. You follow signs throw an abandoned trainyard and other places until you reach the place. When you make your reservation, you are told the password. When you get to the door a slide opens and a man asks you for the password. When you walk in you are frisked and take your table. The place also gets "raided by the cops" from time to time. There is another place I have heard of like this with a funny secret. In the men's bathroom, there is a carving on the wall of a naked woman with fig leaves hiding her more particular parts. They all have hinges but if you try to move one, it sets off "Wah wah wah" comedy sound and a spotlight shines on the door. And it won't work if you wait for the spotlight to go off and go out cause when the door opens it'll just go off again.

[Gustav]

That's funny. I'll have to hit Tommy Gun's Garage next time I'm in Chicago. In what way are you related to Al Capone?

[Indy Parise]

In what way are you related to Al Capone?
Not entirely sure. Something like Great great uncle of my third cousin 3 times removed or something like that.

Whoa, no offense Qwert my man. It's just that the Raven (seedy as it is) is supposed to be rated G, according to the mods. IMHO d--k is a PG-13 word. I personally think the Raven is a PG-13 arena, but it's up to the Powers Whatever The Heck They Are. What say you, mods?

[Finn]

What say you, mods?PG-13.

It was a colorful expression, plus aimed at the poster himself, so I'd guess it doesn't take too much harm to let it slip.

<small>Yes, we <i>are</i> reading these topics, there's no need for anyone else doing our job yet, thankyouweddymuch.</small>

[VP]

PG-13.

Aye. Or K-15.

[Jay R. Zay]

Aye. Or K-15.

isn't it K19?

[VP]

The Widowmaker yeah, but K-15 means Kielletty alle 15-vuotiailta which is a Finnish age limit of Restricted from Children under the age of 15.

[VP]

If you mean boning them, you have to find someone 16 or older. K-15 is just for movies, video games etc. All the Indy movies are that.
