So this place in Maine offers a free meal if you plunge naked off their dock into the lake. I guess some of the city council don't like that.

Maybe if it was a full meal, but a prime rib sandwich? No thank you. I wouldn't take the sandwich even if it was a full meal. I'd rather have something with chicken.

Hell yeah! I'd be jumping in that lake three or four times a day!

You'd think they'd have some sort of limitation to prevent less modest people from massing a stockpile of the stuff.

Heh, I bet LG would have gotten a mountain of sandwiches if he was anywhere near the place.

Is the lake very cold?

If it's not freezing, sure. I got nothing to hide, and I'm rather proud of my body, so being naked is not much of a bother. Especially for... FREE FOOD! :cool:

Well, it said 'jumping in'... not 'jumping on to'... so the water is probably at least liquid. :D

Which still doesn't say much, since we know water can be as cold as -2 Celcius if it's salty water. Even unsalted water at 1 Celcius is pretty damn cold, and anything that makes my testicles want to go hide back into my body is too cold, even if we're talking about a prime rib sandwich.

I started to say something about the salinity of the water, but then I reread and realized it was a lake, which would presumably be freshwater.

Nah, it's giggles. Sure it'd be cold as hell... but hey - free food!

Until they start putting alligators or some other aquatic predator near the dock after the deluge of hungry NSGer's.

Then it's free food. But not for the NSGer's :p

Jump in naked? Hell, I'll do that for a laugh. What do I get if I throw other people in naked? :)

Given that the only people you would be able to throw in naked are those you can overpower, strip and toss, one possibility is child molestation charges. :p

I'm sure it would be in the winter. :D

Lake + Maine = fresh water. You get the cookie. :p

I'll go halves on that sandwich? :D

I think you underestimate my ability to overpower, strip and toss. ;)

Edit: Besides, how do you think I get my kid to take a bath? :p

And how far some other peope will go for half a sandwich.

I swam naked in a glacier-fed river in winter for no other reason than I felt like it. A tour bus stopped and some ppl took photos just as I was getting out, so I had to wait until they left. I was very small by that time.
So no, a naked swim for lunch would hardly be over my limits.


Back in NZ, Hacketts Bungy-jumping in Queenstown used to let naked ppl jump free. But they closed that option because too many ppl were taking them up on it (a jump costs $160NZ - $120US or 86Euro).

I think there'd be quite a few ppl out there who would love to be stripped and tossed by LG.

Would you plunge naked into a lake for a free meal?I would plunge naked into a lake for free.

If its the right weather :D

Why anyone would bungy-jump is beyond me. I don't know why people jump out of perfectly good airplanes either.

Or thrown in a lake.

Whaaat!

Whaaat!

Oh no you didn't!

You ask "why?" I ask "why not?" It's fun (yay adrenaline!) and perfectly safe if you use proper safety procedures.

Hah. Wait till the trio make an alliance. Then we'll see who takes a bath then.

:eek:

:p

well if i was there. it sounds silly but if it was perfectly legal and i wouldn't get arrested or in some other kind of trouble, i might go for it a few times. i seriously doubt i'm at all likely to hitch, or otherwise travell accross the the entire north american continent to get there to do so however.

i'd like to see the silliness of "public decency" laws ended. but it's not something i'd be willing to make a martyr of myself for the sake of attempting to end them.

which is what this sounds like its asking for. which, again is ok. i have nothing against someone else doing so. there just ain't no way i'm going there just so i can.

Couple of years ago I ran into a freezing cold river in front of a crowd of hundreds, including my parents, while wearing only black tights that didn't leave much to the imagination. Partly because they were transparent, and partly for having little experience of actually wearing tights and for the fact they were designed for someone couple of sizes smaller than me and a girl, I did manage to rip them in a few strategic places while pulling them on.

And of course I'm Finnish, so I've been to a plenty of saunas nude often with strangers and in mixed companies, so nudity not really an issue here. Would have been the easiest lunch ever. Damn you Atlantic Ocean...

Hah. Wait till the trio make an alliance. Then we'll see who takes a bath then.

I'd be suprised if LG doesn't get as soaking wet as his kids during the bath (when you're a kid, splashing is fun).

Didn't they get a bath a couple of weeks ago when his kid sprayed the JWs? Oh, silly me it was the JWs that got the bath. :D

Man, if they're getting people to plunge into Moosehead lake they should at least offer a pint of Moosehead to go with the sandwich.

Though I wouldn't do it for that particular sandwich since I don't eat meat anyways. However, I have done lots of things for free food, usually I pretend that I belong to a particular group who is the target audience for a particular talk.

Yes.

So this place in Maine offers a free meal if you plunge naked off their dock into the lake. I guess some of the city council don't like that.

1) Perhaps if I were starving and had not eaten a week, I would consider it.
2) What is the big deal? Are people so afraid of seeing "the moon" at night that some desperate attention-seeker getting nekkid and jumping into an ice-cold lake is too horrible to see? Please. A flash of ass, a mighty splash, and a heigh-ho, that's freaking COLD!!!! where's the towel does not a controversy make.

If you don't like it, don't stare out the window when the mooches jump for their meals.

Oooh! I do this one sometimes! I've even gone to Christian organizations on campus when they've offered free food.

Other people: "Yeah, God is great, huh?"
Me: "Uh, yeah. Praize jeeezus! and such. Now gimme food."

or, if I've already eaten the free food:

Me: "Oh, I'm an atheist. I just came for the food... uh... bye!"
:D

Maybe?

Of course. A chance for me to show off and get a free meal on top of that!

heck no. it's not that they want to make you work for a lousy sandwhich...it's that they're perverted bimbos waiting for someone to strip off their clothes in the name of free food and expose them self.

it's disgusting.:headbang:

It's not disgusting...it's a penis. Or a vagina and breasts.

No more disgusting than a big toe, or a left ear lobe.



Yes, I'd do it. I might not even take the sandwich. And yes, when I got out, hugs would be given to all before I dried off.

*is a polar bear*

Of course I would.

I have rather recently jumped into a freezing cold river-type thing on a dare getting me a friend of mine to come on a two-day bike trip with me.

.

Of course I'd do that for some good food, which a prime-rib sandwich isn't for me. But for a Veggie Patty Sub I'd be game in a flash.

.... and a heigh-ho, that's freaking COLD!!!!

Close, although I think that my vocab would be more four letter words then "heigh-ho".


where's the towel does not a controversy make.

I love it when English teachers talk.



I'd do it on my more confident days for better food.

Maybe, depending on my mood and the weather and a lot of things. I would be very happy to throw someone naked into a lake so they could have a free meal, though.

You just jump in and then get right out? Sure, I'd do it.

If you have to do something to get the "free meal" then it's not exactly "free", is it? But no I wouldn't take that deal, with me not being able to swim being one big factor.

"free" as in "doesn't cost money"

Nothing is free in the truest sense.

I've done that in the ocean off NJ just for shits and giggles. To do it for a meal would just seem to cheapen the experience.

Honestly depends on how good the meal would be, and how degrading they would want to make the experience of jumping into a lake naked...never say never...

Marvelous idea. I would definitely be keen.

Hmm... probably not. I'm REALLY private.

Damn straight I would. I got nothing to be ashamed of, and even if I did, what's the odds I'll ever see any of those people again?

Not with brain eating amoeba's in the lakes...
