Nudity
NUDITY, n. That quality in art which is most painful to the prurient.
2009 Update: The worry distinguishing civilized men from great apes.
Nudity: The state of the body when skinny dipping in the local crik. Also known as buck nekkid.
I've never been to a nudist camp, but I'd like to go to one someday. The problem is that in order to go to one, one has to be naked themselves. That is a quandary. I could do like Inspector Clouseu did in the movie Shot in the Dark and carry a well-placed guitar around for cover. That movie is so funny! I need to see it again... for the tenth time or so.

Enjoy your holiday weekend, nude or not!

Nudity in art is a gimmick by business people to make people think they need to buy razor blades and shavers.
The best thing in clothes that they allow to save nudity for fun.
NUDITY n. here in Hawaii, especially on the tourist beaches, this is a topic that needs redress.
The funnest things are done when you're nude.
Hahahahaha: my verification is rinkmen. Is that part of my fun stuff?
nudity - the state of undress of far too many hip-hoppers seeking more attention than their music brings to their door.

Naked President, Bear?
The Emperor's New Clothes
Jay is for Jim?
Ha, Amoeba.
TLP, you have to draw a line, don't you?
JD, I wore full garb and a jacket to the nude beach at North Head, Sydney, Australia. I think we all found each other uninspiring.
And wear after-shave, Icy. I hear ya.
Ariel, that's a wise perspective.
Or dark sunglasses, Quilly. I'm sure.
Jenn, you mean like childbirth and autopsy?
Sauerkraut, at least Ice-T was dignified.
Peace and budget savings, bear.
Naked governor, Ariel.
Absolutely right, anonymous.
