B2B

I so want to do this, and very nearly did this year. But at the last, birthday parties, backyard landscaping, and visits to the hospital forced a deferral. I'm a runner of sorts, of course, but I really just want the party. I have wanted to run it nekkid at times too, and the chance is a lot better than zero that some day I will. It is certainly on my list of post-childrearing hedonism that I have every intention of filling out before I turn sixty and start showing signs of age. My kids are going to be so disgusted. They've turned out relatively conservative. I think though that that's partly due to growing up in this era of increasing social responsibility and group-think, and partly my own fault for being so damn well-behaved all this time. Yeah, I've got some catching up to do. Does that mean I have "issues"? Fuck, I don't care.

We also raised them in a fine little farming suburb full of boring conservative rednecks, you know, normal folk with tattoos and piercings who fish and hunt and smoke dope and vote Republican and coach youth sports and attend church and go down to the Exotic Erotic Ball come Halloween. Took me a boatload of pictures this past weekend but I have to get back to work so here's just one, of one of the local hotties getting picked up out on the main drag.

...you must take a peek into Paula's. Apparently we share an affinity for the "nekkid".

Great minds ;)

You know, it's the forward facing fanny packs that is super duper hot. MILF!

"Nearby, in the middle of the street, a woman was being held upside down over a beer keg, with the keg's spigot in her mouth."

I thought this only happened in the South Pacific where I am! Pleased you have such a lack of taste over there as well ;-)

a girlfriend and I ran one year in bridesmaid dresses - REAL ones - and had an absolute blast! The best part was being able to say "hey, they told me I could wear it again - and I DID!"

getting smacked by flying tortillas, however, was not so fun. [grin]

as for running nekkid..? O-U-C-H. Collagen at 40+ just ain't what it used to be, I'm just sayin'....

I don't think anyone should be running nekkid.

waaaay too many people for me, these days. bay to breakers is a mere shadow of it's former. don't mind me...just another snooty native!

Jodie Kash said...

Nah, Teacake, noone should rn nekkid with scissors, that's all.

Oh, and use sunblock. Trust me.

Snapped a pic of a float I thought you'd like.

We watched from a perch off the panhandle, at about the halfway marker for the race.

The last runner/walkers came through about 1P with motorcycle cops flushing the rest of the crowds off the street. (A bit later than usual. The weather was fine and the crowds were huge.)

We swept the piles of litter out in the streets for the street sweepers that immediately followed the cops. We piled plastic bottles and beer cans and bottles on the sidewalk for the scavengers who took them away for their CRV value.

Lucky for the runners, the temps were considerably less than the 95dF they'd been just a couple days before. I can't imagine running up Hayes, pulling/pushing a float in that kind of weather.

A good time was had by all. I caught a bit more sun than I should've. Mellow crowd. There were a few people with gumby bodies, needing the support of three friends to stand upright. There were a few more people we had to shout at to stop them pissing against the house or the Alfas in the driveway. Even fewer people acting like jerks.
