Hmmm.... well, it is hot here.

I don't know exactly where he was from the story, but Earls Ford if I recall, is a very isolated place, a gravel road, near where Deliverence was filmed years ago, near what's called the Ellicot Rock Wilderness. (The Chattooga River)

If he was that far into the backcountry, and skinny dippin, then this isn't quite the scandalous story that it may appear to be. But, then again, if he was at a public camp ground.... I hope he was intoxicated....

sitting in his campground naked, he is arrested. welcome to america.

you forgot the (R) after his name...or is this the ONLY decent thing republicans do anymore? get naked, cheat on their wives?

Hell, if you can't get drunk and strip off while camping, what's the use of going?

That's what I say. I spend half my time at the beach naked and drunk

He's just another guy who has given up trying to get ahead in Obamaland. Might as well spend money, travel and camp naked. Don;t leave anything behind, even your shirt for income distribution to poor fucks. Get on the government gravy train.

#6 - FF for FWThom.

You may be trying to make some point, tying it back to Rush or whatever, but it's still funny.

Hell, let's all do something crazy, preferably involving our genitalia, and when the inevitable police confrontation occurs, we'll say we just couldn't deal with el presidente socialista anymore.

Yes, I'm ready to give up and move to Cuba where they still drive V8 CO2 spewing gas gusslers even though they're firty years old. Obama will make everyone drive electric lawnmowers.

Even North Korea lets their citizens eat anything they can find on mountaintops or garbage cans. In Obamaland everyone will be forced to eat vegiburgers - yuk!

FTA: Walls and a deputy sheriff went to the campsite Saturday evening after a complaint of a man walking naked in Earls Ford Road, according to the report. Musselwhite appeared to be intoxicated, and several alcoholic beverages were at the campsite, Walls said.

Walls said he had spoken to Musselwhite earlier in the day regarding an ATV the former mayor was driving.

"He looked at us and said hello," according to the report.

Musselwhite then asked why he was being visited.

"I said the complainant had specifically said his campsite, and the fact that he was still nude made me think it was him," Walls wrote.

So he's going with the old "Yes, I was a drunk naked man wandering around in a public camping facility but I wasn't the naked drunken man that a complaint was phoned in about" excuse.

Good luck with that in court, sez Spud.

Meh, Spud considers this one a non--event, really.

The guy wasn't a presiding Mayor just an ex-Mayor and if an ex-public official wants to have a few drinks and then wander around in an alcoholic haze in the public campsight drawing complaints wots the big deal?

Make him cover up and then move on unless he's hurting someone or himself.

That sed, drunk, naked and out in public is no way to go through life, son.

Be Well.

Is every guy in the South and Southwest running around nekked all summer long?

Seems that way.

I'd rather have a naked man drinking beer as my mayor, come to think of it. The one I have is a crook.

It's very liberating. I love skinnydipping at night in the ocean waves, especially on the moonless nights. The water sparkles with photophosporous plankton. The water is already 88F at N Padre Island.

I love it.

I think Musselwhite probably was the victim of a couple of arty tricksters who offered him a set of camping duds that would make him the envy of the land -- so special that only the wise could see them. Not wanting to appear dim, the former mayor didn't want to let on he could not see the new camping duds himself. I think the circumstances of this story cry out for sterner laws on deceptive selling practices.

This guy should have told the police he was a hairless Bigfoot.

It would be kinda neat to go swimming nekked at night -- at least try it once. I've never done it before. But it's different from running around nekked at the beach all day like you say you do.

And of course you would love it 'cause you're a guy! But do the women run around nekked too on Padre Island? Doesn't Texas have "no gettin' nekked" laws or only in public places.

LOL just spent 5 hours at More Mesa Beach in Santa Barbara. It's a good thing I brought the umbrella.

Getting naked at the beach just seems natural.

In fact, I can post up some pics, but I wouldn't want the guys to get jealous.

Yeah, grown men running around naked in front of very young girls (under 16) is not a proper thing to do.

Oh, post them and just let the guys on here eat their hearts out with jealousy, LOL.

But then we don't want you exiled for two months from DR either so you better not.

Hehe well ok but I don't think I can get dumped for hotlinking to another server?

Anyway it was a supreme day at the beach and tomorrow I'm headed up to Pirate's Cove for some more. You oughta see this place.

He is also a "family values" man. Interesting combination hypocrisy and drunken reality.

.. Musselwhite, a Republican, was elected to the City Council in 2000. He served on the council for six years, including as mayor of the town. In 2006, he lost a bid for a state Senate seat.

Musselwhite previously served as deacon of First Baptist Church in Gainesville.

He could not be reached for comment Friday evening.

Ya think?

Ya not arguing that it's not wrong, risible, stupid and a million different kinds of ignorant but all Spud was saying that it shouldn't neccessarily be a hanging offense.

No harm, no foul.

Mandatory AA meetings at a maximum.

Musselwhite previously served as deacon of First Baptist Church in Gainesville

Lawl. He's prolly right now sitting nekkid in a baraclounger drinking his 10th beer of the day and listening to Steely Dan's "Deacon Blues" over and over again.

Call it a hunch.

Be Well.

I bet Deth has never been to a nude beach, and if he found himself at one, he would run away screaming.

Just a hunch.

Doesn't Texas have "no gettin' nekked" laws or only in public places.

It's not a nude beach. You get fined $200 if caught. But being over 100 miles long, cars are few and far between and I seldom see cops patrolling.

If it's designated as a nude beach then there's no problem with him being naked. A mother would just make sure she did not bring her young daughters to a designated nude beach. That's different then just being on a regular beach and coming upon some guy sitting there buck naked.

I bet Deth has never been to a nude beach, and if he found himself at one, he would run away screaming.

Never been to Vancouver have you?

** NSFW **

Been there dude. I lived in Washington state for ten years and made a few trips up. Got my eyes lasered in Surrey.

I've still got a stash of BC laying around somewhere....

Lawl. Kewl kewl.

Spud is long on record fer thinking that skin on the beach makes nothing but sense.

In terms of bods on beaches Spud is a huge fan of Vancouver's infamous Wreck Beach .

*** NOT SAFE FER WERK ***

Is like a giant naked cocktail party.

A very laid back one where people read, tan, play volleyball and backgammon entirely in the buff while folks wander up and down the beach selling joints, alcoholic bevies and excellent food stuffs.

Fun in the sun.

Woo Hoo!

Be Well.

Posted by dethspud at 2009-06-23 02:04 AM

Ergo Spud is looked somewot askance at yer post suggesting Spud had never been to a nude beach.

Spud actually spent a summer selling beers there with friends back in the day.

Good times. good times.

Still try to get out when Spud can.

Washington State is nice.

You gotta the baseball there and stuff.

Personally, Spud biatches a lot about living in a region that rains a lot but as this big blue marble heats up Spud is more and more thankfull fer them all big rainy clouds.

BC means "Big Clouds", yes it does.

/It also mean "Better Cannibas" but...

...Shhh that's a secret.

^_^

Be Well.

Quelle non-story.

So a guy got drunk and lost his skivvies for a bit? Unless he's doing the lewdie, what's it hurting? So far as family values are concerned, hell, don't people get nekkid to start families?

And as a rezz-dent of Ayutlanna, let me say that I'd much rather have a nekkid mayor than the one we've got.

a rezz-dent of Ayutlanna

Hoop skirts and Mint Julep country!

Unless those are no longer in vogue.

Spud is unsure.

Spud is horribly unhip

It's amazing Spud's butt doesn't just fall off he's so unhip!

Spud heard the residents of Ayutlanna were a Brave people or was that just the baseball fans?

Spud fergits.

Be Well.

"Hoop skirts and Mint Julep country!

Nope, we got those ugly-ass cropped pants and Ecstasy, same as everywhere else.

North Padre Island is the longest undeveloped barrier island in the world. The National Seashore is 70 miles (110 km) long with 65.5 miles (105.4 km) of Gulf beach.

I'm not the naked man you're looking for.
May the force be with you.

North Padre Island is the longest undeveloped barrier island in the world. The National Seashore is 70 miles (110 km) long with 65.5 miles (105.4 km) of Gulf beach.

The other half, South Padre Island is another 60 or 70 miles. To the north, Mustang island adds even more to the coastal barrier island beach

you forgot the (R) after his name...or is this the ONLY decent thing republicans do anymore? get naked, cheat on their wives?

They also take bribes and lie to the american public in order to wage illegitimate wars...

The bitches... I mean beaches, are gigantic in Texas.

"are gigantic in Texas"

a little cold out here tonight aye mayor?

So ya got a macro lens. Big deal.

j/k

Where's all the support for this new transparency in government???

It could be his camp ground like his private camp. Those parts have lots of private camps. In which case this story is only a story because of an abuse of power.

re Zat's #38

I'd shore like to rassel that big 'un!

Clothes do make the man, naked people have little or no influence in society.. (Mark Twain.. from memory.. (admitting I didn't look it up for your link purists))

When I was mucho younger.. my wife and I were backpacking up in TN, and I took a little quick morning washoff in the river, sans clothes.

My darling wife took that moment to snap a picture, and many moons later, pull it out and show it to my now grown daughters.. fortunately it was a pic from the backside view.

Their comment.. "wow Dad, you weren't fat back then"

Public nakedness can cause problems.. and I'm not even a mayor.

Perverse sexual dysfunction? It has to be a Republican.

"many moons later"

Good catch! Zatoichi.. ha

I get nude almost every day at my local clothing optional resort in North Georgia! The good Mayor could have traveled less distance and camped at Paradise Valley Resort in Dawsonville Georgia. There he could have enjoyed his beer, hiked nude, danced nude and sat at the Tiki Bar ... you guessed it ... nude. Also, on July 11th he could have helped us set a Guinness World Record... the AANR World Record Skinny Dip will be held at 3PM Eastern Time at Resorts and nude/clothing optional beaches across North America. Skinny Dipping is great fun, and at AANR (the American Association for Nude Recreation) clubs you can feel safe, secure and comfortable wearing just your skin. Come on in, the water's fine! Check the aanr website for a club or resort near you. Swim naked, it adds color to your cheeks.
