P_M,
:)):)):)):))

Maybe they are just happy to see yah?

I was pretty certain this was due to the parrot issue, but it turns out that the tree wasn't cut down until 10/31.

In SF, could be anything.

Regardless, getting up there and standing, sitting or whatever- sure couldn't have been comfortable. Ouch!

Kal Nov 8th, 2005 10:22 AM

.....and there is no way I'd park my car under those trees!! :-O

The view of the person going up ahead of you was going to be the second part of my post, but just thinking about it stopped me from typing. But it didn't stop KAL! LOL!

There have only been a few times when I've seen naked people hanging around in public. (no pun intended) It's funny how the people who are most into nudism are the ones you least want to see naked. I don't take much notice of the ladies. But I do feel the urge to tell some of those men to stop displaying their shortcomings. :-[

I noticed that when we were staying at Sandals Negril which abuts the Hedonism resort. Seems that all the naked people at Hedo are both fat and tattoo covered....sadly the tattoos do not cover their dangling participles.....

Last time I was in SFO I saw naked people too ( well actually I was in Sausalito)
we were eating on a deck at one of the restaurants and a speed boat of bouncing beauty queens kept buzzing by laughing hysterically at the reaction they were getting from the diners
Whenever I have been to SFO its too cold to take off clothes- they are a hardy bunch who live there and go naked

P_M Nov 8th, 2005 11:49 AM

I get it, sunbum, you are saying that the shrink factor is what accounts for all of the shortcomings. Now it makes sense. :-)

A few years ago, my friend and I were on our lunch break in Chicago and we saw these naked women run out of Spago (which used to be at Grand and Dearborn). They ran into the middle of the street and back again. It was so quick we weren't sure what we really saw. Afterwards we were interviewed by Fox News about our reaction. We found out by watching the news that they went to a few locations in Chicago and they were photographing the girls for some kind of greeting cards. It was pretty funny. Coworkers that saw us on the news said they needed to start hanging out with at lunch time.

E Nov 8th, 2005 11:56 AM

John, did you tip them?

OO Nov 8th, 2005 01:21 PM

Good job Joan! That has to be it. Now I wanna know what the guy who wrote the invitation was taking or is that just the loosey goosey SF way? LOL

You'd have thought it'd have been too cold between 8 AM and 10 AM. Lots of short comings there...do they really want to be photographed? LOL

One of my aerobics instructors in Tampa was invited up to a nudist camp north of town as guest teacher of an aerobics class. Picture it! P_M...she said they were pretty much as you described...not the sort you'd want to see hanging in public, and especially not doing high impact aerobics!

P_M Nov 8th, 2005 05:04 PM

Nudists doing aerobics....EEEEWWWWW!!!!

:-&

In the same vein....not naked - but "only on San Francisco" our CPA brother-in-law from Ohion was here on business and my sister decided that she had to shock him - well, mainly just show him how different it is here....so she took him for Mojitos in the Mission, somewhere else kind of wile, then for Moroccan food out in the Avenues - with belly dancing and sitting on the floor eating with no utensils, etc.... and at the end of the evening she needed to run to the store to get some milk. ....

So they ran into the Safeway at Castro and Mission..... her normal neighbor store - and he said that was the best part of the trip!

(You've gotta live there to know - but you really see it all at midnite in Safeway!)
