Nude teens test limits
Does anyone remember the "streakers" during the Carter years?? :)
================================
Vermont is for lovers. :)

<snip>
"Brattleboro tends to be a laid-back town and pretty accepting of the unusual, but this is really pushing limits," said Police Chief John Martin. "It's clearly to outrage people, it's clearly rebelliousness."

By most accounts, the stripping started on a whim in early summer when a young woman sat naked on a park bench, Martin said. Then another woman started taking her shirt off downtown.

<snip>
All the bare skin has raised eyebrows, even in this town of 12,000 residents that has seen clothing-optional swimming holes, streakers and an event known as "Breast Fest," which featured women parading topless.

"To most people, it's not a big deal," said Catherine Kauffman, 57, who calls Brattleboro "a don't-take-away-too-many-of-my-rights kind of town."

1. Carter years? Hell, we had a streaker at Wimbledon this year
I think it was during one of Maria Sharapova's games. I saw a naked man's butt before security managed to throw a blanket over him and escort him off.

5. Someone alert Jim Dobson about this right away.
He'll know what to do.

10. Yeah. James'll go to his
Rat-cave and concult the Hate-o-meter on his computer to decide the appropriate punishment.
I'm guessing stoning or crucifiction should settle the matter.

12. That sounds about right, yes. That, plus a boycott of all New England
states.

That Jim Dobson plays hardball.

6. Here's the correct attitude about this.
For now Brattleboro is weighing its options, and waiting for summer to turn to fall.

"As soon as winter comes, there won't be a story anymore," said Town Clerk Annette Cappy.

9. Carter? No. Nixon, yes.
I think Ted Rall had a famous cartoon of the naked backside of Nixon in the background while pediastrians commented on how streaking was supposed to relieve stress.

11. You're right - it was Nixon - peaked during 72-73 and then died a quick
merciful death.

It was pretty funny tho to see it...

13. Don't look, Ethel!
(Reporter):
This is your action news reporter once again, and we're here at the gas
station. Pardon me, sir, did you see what happened?

(Witness):
Yeah, I did. I's just in here gettin my car checked, he just appeared
out of the traffic. Come streakin' around the grease rack there, didn't
have nothin' on but a smile. I looked in there, and Ethel was gettin'
her a cold drink. I hollered, "Don't look, Ethel!" But it was too
late. She'd already been mooned. Flashed her right there in front of
the shock absorbers.

I love Ray Stevens...
