Decline in Nudists Threatens Tourist Attraction. Listen people, when you don't go nude, you're letting the terrorists win.

If I went nude, I would be a terrorist.

Can you imagine a "Nude Day" at the San Diego Comic Con?

Sorry, I don't think that's going to remove such a horrible image from your mind. I'm not sure anything can.

A shotgun blast does wonders. (I'm always here to help.)

It's those fried bacon vendors that are ruining it for everyone else.

This is the Department of Not Getting It, isn't it? Maybe the nudists don't show up any more, because too many people are "just looking" ...

Yea, go to Black Beach down the street, like Dark Messiah said for sure.

I remembered being in Munich about a year ago. I went on one of the Mike's Bike's Tour, because it combined two excellent ideas: riding bikes and drinking beer. After the second beer garden [and second liter of wiess beer] the tour went through the English Garden. We were warned of one man, and one man only. The one man who was always at the English Garden, and the one man who always was happy to see Mike's Bike's. The one man that could blind us. The one man that could neutralize us just by standing up. His name: The Hammer. So I saw The Hammer, and he lived up to his name - a tall lanky german, who one could mistake for a tripod. He was so happy to see us, he started running parallel to us.

I have this image seared into my brain. I don't think the tourists will miss the Hammer, or his friends. Just a guess.
