Yes, think of the children.

Sleeping Monkey: terrorists.... fundies... same thing

Yup.

Fark needs a "Maine" tag.

Perhaps it is a terrorism issue...

I know if I did this, I'd be revealing my weapon of ass destruction.

Proving once again that mothers are a far greater threat to our civil liberties than any terrorist could ever hope to be.

It's filth. It graphically portrays parts of the human body which, as practical as they may be, are evil!

/not obscure?

No sandwich?



/disapproves

I went on vacation with my family to Moosehead Lake twelve years ago.

We saw moose.

Darn, now where are the boys going to take their first dates where they can not only see the goods, but also have them earn their own sammiches?

That must have been one hell of a sandwich to go risking frostbite on the dangly bits. Being Maine, they should have offered a twin lobstah dinner.

But did you field dress it?

Let me get this straight... these people were exposing their genitalia, and that was alright?
No it isn't.
I never saw, nor tasted a rectum til my wedding night.

People on Fark generally complain about the police, usually with good reason. They should give the police credit in this instance. The police chief in TFA seems like a good guy. He's actually trying to justify his decisions in a sensible way rather than abusing his power with no regard to those below him.

We will never abide an administration which is ANTI-SAMMICH!!!

Seems to me that they can still offer the sandwich, so long as they don't mind not having their liquor liscense not renewed. Since the renewal was already declined... I would think that if they didn't renew it on appeal, the owner wouldn't have a problem re-instating the skinny-dip sandwich, considering all the publicity it's gotten the restaurant. That may be the only thing they CAN do to sustain them in the face of no liqour liscense.

If a naked man jumps into a lake in Maine, does it make a splash?

I shaved my legs and wrecked them before my wedding night.

Only if he's heavy enough to break the ice.

Hubba hubba!

"Only the ugly ones complain".

/expert

Since he takes a poll of the customers in his restaurant about whether or not they'd object to seeing nakedness and they never object...shouldn't he offer a free sammich to people who streak naked *inside* from one side of the restaurant to the other? And call it "Hot Ass Sammich" or some such?

Nah, that would never work. Never mind.

that's just greenville. a public promotion at that. drunk kids, jumping ino a dark, cold, deep, lake.
smart idea.
there's still plenty of skinny dipping in moosehead lake.

Was it getting head?

Um, in all fairness, it's both pretty hasty (other patrons don't need to see that) AND it's technically encouraging a crime. If the cops wanted to be dicks they could arrest the guy, not take away his liquor license.

Because there's much better rights out there to defend (that are actually threatened as well) than my right to get naked for the sake of a sammich?

Mobkey: Yes, think of the children.

They were probably mostly the ones jumping naked into the lake.

Were they purifying themselves in the waters of Lake Minnetonka?

Fark off asshat.

I've got 2 kids playing soccer. (For some reason the 3rd went with Cross Country this year.) Hockey season hasn't started yet.

It sure as hell wasn't people like ME whining. People like me JUMP IN for a free sandwich. (Sports gear is expensive.)

I guarantee you that it was some flatlander tourist that complained. Moosehead is a tourist trap. A pretty trap. But a tourist trap nonetheless. I don't even go up during the summer anymore. Too many flatlanders.

WelldeadLink: Gee, Maine has heard of Javascript and makes it mandatory for the news. And loses 400,000 Fark ad views in the process.

Quoted for agreement or something. I doubt Maine Today cares much about losing Fark page views. For me, I do kind of care about whether this sort of faux-outrage might happen to the bungy jumping bridge in Nanaimo (BC). AFAIK, they still offer free jumps to people who go naked, one day of the year. (In the summer, thankfully.)

/it's nowhere near residential areas, or wasn't when I was there
//the bush does have a habit of being gradually eaten up by single family dwelling-based 'burbs
///seriously, folks, choose your battles (and learn how to talk to your kids about adult choices)

Ahhh, silly me I submitted this earlier but forgot to add the "terrorists win" bit

Christ, I missed out on the sandwich. America needs more, not less, nudity... maybe some folks would weigh less. We should have a nudity day. Do not fear the sack, it creates life and ultimately the sack is Love.

Why do moralists hate my Love?

/my Sack is not a terrorist. embrace my Sack.

EdgeRunner: ...and if the prudes don't like it, they can kiss my pickleloaf!

Or they can watch my loaf fly into a cold lake.

It's filth. It graphically portrays parts of the human body which, as practical as they may be, are evil!

obscure?

yer kidding right?

"Selectmen did note that if the naked plunge promotion were removed, they'd have no problem granting the license."

"When Turner learned of the board's action on Thursday, he called town officials and told them he would remove the promotion. Town Manager John Simko said he polled selectmen Thursday morning and the consensus was to let the vote stand. A letter about the denial will be forwarded to the Maine Liquor Enforcement Division."

So after telling the guy they'd grant the license if he removed the offer, they vote to keep the guy from having a liquor license? And they only put an addendum in the appeal to the board?

Assholes.

Such crap. If this is the same place I'm thinking of, it used to be called the Frog Rock Cafe, before a similarly named enterprise sued them and made them change their name. Then the place burned down. Now they won't let him do a promotion where people jump into a cold northern lake.

Speaking as a flatlander, I love Greenville. I love the fact that someone had the bright idea to put in a McDonald's and it went out of business because the locals wanted nothing to do with it. I love the fact that I can get to the Golden Road so quickly for hunting, fishing, rafting and any number of activities.

True story: My wife and I stopped to engage in some flatlander stupidity (a.k.a. watching moose at the side of the road). Another family was there, and the father was excitedly filming a cow and her calf. The moose had enough and left, and the guy starts following them. Immediately one of his kids starts crying, and his wife says, "Don't you remember what happened the last time you did that?"

Pass the eye bleach please...

I'm from Maine, was nearby when this happened. Everyone in the restaurant had no problem with it, it was people at a nearby dock that complained.

So was the free meal a little sausage?

/cold in Maine

Moosehead Lake, you say?

This couldn't have anything to do with a large timber company wanting to build the largest housing development in Maine's history could it?

Nah.
