Nearly 400 bare all to try to set Guinness record

Talk about prime exposure.

Nearly 400 people at two county nudist clubs skinny-dipped simultaneously yesterday.

At precisely 3 p.m., 267 people took to the pool at Pine Tree Associates in Crownsville and another 123 entered the water at the Maryland Health Society in Davidsonville.

"It did really fill up the pool," said James Richards of West River, a 17-year member of Pine Tree. "There was cheering and laughter; lots of hoorahs and hurrays."

The local clubs were joined by nudist groups across the country and in Canada in an effort to set a simultaneous skinny-dipping record that would be recognized by the Guinness World Records. Currently, there is no established record. Officials at the Florida-based American Association for Nude Recreation were hoping for a total of around 20,000 people.

The event was intended as an effort to raise awareness about nudism and as a finale to Nude Recreation Week. If participation at the two local clubs was any indication, the event was definitely a nudes, err, news maker.

Yuck.

Yeah, two little strips of synthetic fabric make all the difference.

Why do so many people fear the human body?

Because feces, semen, blood, and urine come out of the human body and we are more vulnerable to disease from people than from animals. Think of all the disease that is spread just from uncovered mouths and eyes.

Mass public nudity. Yuck.

I don’t “fear the human body”, but should I touch or sit on something other than a toilet seat, I like to be fairly confident someone’s asshole didn’t formerly make contact with it.

"This wasn't the kind of heat we were hoping for, it was a bit on the nippy side (in the pool)," Crowe admitted

“...a bit on the nippy side”

Could go in several directions with that one, but try this:

On a cold morning in 1948, they hanged Hideki Tojo as a war criminal. One witness remarked,

“Hmm, there’s a little nip in the air this morning.”
