6/29/2005: Streaker

Undertoad · 06-29-2005, 08:32 AM

IotD doesn't usually "do" streakers (although it is another form of naked protest, I guess). But I saved this one off for some reason. Maybe it was the fact that he's on a wireless phone. Maybe it's the fact that he's about to get the tackling of his very life, and the photographer saved this particular instant in time.. and somehow managed to get an angle that didn't show the guy's package. Maybe it's all that AND the grimace on the other guy's face.

But today the WaPo gives us the next frame.

maybe it is the fact that he wears green socks.

and that he looks like the sculpture of a greek god - without the green socks and without his mobile, that greek gods usually don´t have. i guess

THAT'S CLIPPING NOW DAMMIT!
This guy must be one of the more intelligent streakers. He's calling his attorney and the bail/bondsman in advance.
What a helluva price to pay for attention.

Heh. The phone's halfway up his head in the second shot. And I'm not at all sure that every flesh-colored digit in front of him is a finger. Tackling streakers is like steer wrestling -- grab and twist.

Don't look, Ethel!

The one who should be grimacing is the dude making the tackle. Where does he have his face, anyway?

Gromitspapa · 06-29-2005, 10:11 AM

I'm a little concerned with that "grimace" on the other guy's face...

Can you hear me now?

True. To me, it doesn't look like a grimace but more like: "heh...heh....yaaah...heh...heh...heh." *heavy breathing sounds*

I think you're right! One of these things is not like the others!!

i hope the poor cops got to grind his balls into the turf with their cleats for having to touch his stupid hippy arse.

lmao.

I think the guy with the mustache is a little "too into it", in a I'm not gay sort of way.

Being as I'm paid sometimes to chase and tie down naked people, there is greater concern on the part of those doing the taking down that naked guy will choose to fight back with body fluids rather than a hesitation to have a close encounter with Mr. Happy.

What was it Patton or McArthur or somebody used to say? Get them by the balls and their hearts and minds will follow.

We did have one nut that made a point of greasing herself up with moisturizing lotion before she (intentionally) went off/had a tantrum. It was rather like trying to catch a greased pig and she would slip right out of the leathers. After about the third time staff started to remember to bring a towel in to soak up some of the ooze.

ok wolf, we definitely need some more of your work stories.
