Robert, look at that new avatar. I knew you were a handsome man! ;)

I know nothing of streaking except for my own forays into that world. No, I won't go into detail. I'll leave you with this thought...my first time involved a bicycle, a busy road and a rubber duck.

Were you giving the rubber ducky a ride into town? Oh wait, dreams don't count.

Why would the duck dream I was giving him a ride into town?

Couple of strippers, acutally.;)

Let me explain the conversation that my wife and I had. We got started a little late having children (I became a father for the first time at 42). My wife and I were one day discussing the fact that we're looking at retirement at the same time the girls are going to college and we were trying to figure out a way to do both. I know a few people whose kids are going to college/in college/out of college. One of the things that they did was pay for a portion of college (one did 1/2, another did 1/3) and the kids had to pay for the rest by whatever means they could (jobs, scholarships, nothing illegal, mind you). I don't know who mentioned it first, but it was brought up that strippers make pretty good money.
Then, my head started to spin. Part of me said, "When they turn 18, they can do anything they want." The father in me said "No f***ing way." :confused:

Maybe that's why my hair is turning gray.

Hmm.. Did we go to school together? My first ever personal streaker experience came one sunny afternoon when a young lady came streaking by on a bicycle right down the center of campus completely nekid. I finally looked up and recognized the face. She was my house mate. Hmm.. I guess she was missing the rubber ducky though.
Later that night I asked her WTF.. She said that the hankering just struck her and got caught up in the moment. She offered no further explanation.

Haha...thats pretty funny. But I think that the money thing will happen alot sooner than college. What about the teen years of high school? Buying clothing, makeup, 2 cars(!), drivers ed, cell phones, camera, computer, jewlery, cheerleading uniforms, sports stuff.....etc., etc.,etc. Oh I didn't scare you did I? My wife is 1 of 4 girls, so my father in law was pretty broke through out my wifes childhood since girls get all the stuff from daddy, so my wife says.

Although the stripping is a way to pay for college and I have seen it time and time again being used as such. As a matter of fact, one of my wifes old friend from high school paid for college that way and so did other girls from the same high school. I think the father in you is right though.:lol:

I am so glad that I have a son....so far, no girls yet. My wife said that we would be broke if we had a girl.

Haha, thats too funny. "I feel like streaking, 'lemme get my bike."

The only time I was witness to a 'streaking' of sorts was when I was in military school and we 'chaired' one of the students on his birthday. Now being 'chaired', if you don't know, is being tied to a chair...nekkid...and being dropped off in the middle of somewhere for numerous people to witness your spectacle :rolleyes:. The military school I went to had the females on the top floor in a quadrangle type dorm building. When we took said chaired person into the quad, about 10 to 15 of us yelled at the top of our lungs when we were out of sight to attract the dorm habitants out. Needless to say it workd very well...so well in fact that he got out of the chair when about 30 to 50 dorm people were outside and we got caught by the cadre. We did PT for the rest of the evening.:confused:

:o Did you happen to go to school in florida? What explanation could she possibly have offered you that would make any sense, besides she felt like doing it? Hey, I came into this world nekid, that's how I'm going out. And in the inbetween, if I can be nekid as often as possible, it's all good. :D Although now that I live back in Wisconsin, let me tell ya, frigid winters are not conducive to comfortable nudity (I don't have central heating/air).

Well hows this for pulling your hair out. I am on dial-up and found out a couple days ago that Sprint's broadband card can be used in a wireless router to have broadband internet. Tried to order on the internet, but had no sucess finding the router on line. What do I do you ask? Well, I call the Sprint sales and my call gets outsourced to what sounds like India and I think to my self, 'this is gonna be difficult':mad: . Well, I order the broadband card for 49.99 and a mail in rebate of 49.99 to get the card for free...good so far. I then tell the guy that I need the Linksys router to use the card with my desktop, guy asks for model number and I give the model number. Kosher so far....well he verifies that the router is available and says that he added it to the order. Here I am expecting to pay the $235 plus the 49.99 on my order and am a happy camper. Go through all the steps of setting up an account with Sprint, credit check n all. When I get down to the nitty gritty, the rep gives me an order number and tells me to wait 24hrs before checking the status of the shipment. Here goes the rep repeating the order to me and telling me the total cost is only 49.99 for now. Wait a minute, what about the router:confused: ....rep asks for the model number again to verify and puts me on hold to talk to the boss...comes back and tells me 'router is included, you're getting it for free. I thought to myself that something is not right, but hey free, couldn't be better. Well I get on line a couple minutes ago and I checked the order status and guess what, the FREAKING router is not on the order:evil: !!! I could just hurt someone right now. I call Sprint sales (outsorced again!) and tell the rep that I need to add a router to my order since they did not do it right, guy asks if I am a current customer and I tell him, guess so since I ordered yesterday, but I have no account number or phone number. Rep tells me that he has to connect me to customer care, auto recording comes on 'please enter your phone number'. I have no number...silence.....'​please enter your phone number'.....I have no number...silence....'t​o better assist you next time enter your phone number'..click. Aww cr&p! By this time I am huffy and call the customer care number directly and finally get someone in the US. This woman helped me tremendously and she did not even see the router on the order. She tried helping me every which way trying to put the router on my order with no luck. She was about to pawn me off to the retail store here in town when she said that she would try to order online for me since I could not find the router on the website. She was on the phone with 3 sales reps and could not get any good info from them, but when she got online, lo n behold, there the darned thing was. I am now happy to report that I will (hopefully) be getting my broadband card and router within this coming week. Happy Happy Joy Joy! I think that I have calmed down a bit since talking to the sales department.
