As a citizen of Fremont, I happen to know that it's not against our cultural norms for nude cyclists, provided they're artistically painted and not lewd.

Not so sure about people walking around nude with cowboy hats tho. That's a bit much.

Why can't people spell "Fremont" correctly? It is not "Freemont." No more than the area north of 65th on the east side of I5 is "Wedgewood." (It's "Wedgwood," for those of you keeping score).

Yay for nekkid bikers!

No one who goes to the Fremont Solstice parade will faint like a Victorian schoolmarm having the vapors at the sight of the famed naked bicycle people. They are for some, in fact, the event's major attraction. Those who would be offended simply don't go, or at least don't complain, which is why there haven't been any arrests in the last 10 years. The same is, or should be, true of the Pride parade.

I wonder how many of the Fred Phelps fundie whack-jobs who show up to picket every Pride parade like clockwork year after year will secretly get wood at the sight of all those exposed penises...

I'm with #2. The chief of police should know how to spell the name of a well-known neighborhood in his jurisdiction, or at least have a secretary who does.

Here's an interesting one: highly intelligent people are not always good spellers, but good spellers are nearly always highly intelligent people. Think it over.

Well-medicated patricians, being necessary to the purity of a Free Mont, the right of the benign nudists to display and bear penises and breasts, shall not be fringed or unendowed.

Ahh... that enema was great. Thanks @6.

And now, um, yeah, the g.d. police chief (what's his salary? his secretary's salary?) should know how to spell Fremont.

Now back to my liefff.
