UGH!!! This makes me never ever ever want to step foot onto Broadway again. It also makes me want to run at least 10 miles after work. Ewwwwwww.

If it isn't the same in New York, it can only be because people there have good taste.

The problem with nudists is that they are rarely the ones you want.

Gotta be a working girl, right?

That pictures makes me want to run ten miles too... so that I could look that decent were I to walk down the street without pants. Which I won't be doing, no worries.

That's me every day that it's sunny and warm, before my wife comes running out the door carrying my jeans.

Skirts are in for guys this season.

And scarves instead of ties.

Go spend money!

There *could* be a thong hidden in there.

I'm not gonna examine that closely, tho.

Talk about thunder thighs....probably heading out to get some more Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream.

I like that better than that little guy getting walked around on a leash.

And soon after she passed by, the entire block imploded. BTW, isn't this something that Mudede should have posted about? I mean, the legs are there, and she looks oppressed.

Y'all are out of your mind. She's got it going on there. The only running I'd want to do is around the block so I could get a snap of the front, and solve this "thong or not" mystery.

Hey if you're going to comment on this one naked person, shouldn't someone at least acknowledge the Seattle U Senior Streak that happened yesterday?

Where's the love?

Agreed with #15. Those who have the audacity to call this woman's taste into question while posting discourteous drivel need to be smacked upside the head with the White Courtesy Bat.

Even if I didn't think she was attractive (which, of course, I do!) I'd politely keep my mouth shut and let her do her thing--ain't harming no one but prudes and nannystaters. ;)

I hear ya @19, but when I process that through the ol' noodle, that sounds like many another sausage fest.

@20 -- Sorry, you're wrong. Here's what it's hurting:

1. My eyes. I have no desire to see hog ass swinging free on public streets.

2. Refined sensibilities. If you want to see ass and other such blowin' in the wind, please go to chaps night at The Eagle. Or the locker room at Curves.

3. Business on Broadway. You think any of those barely-surviving businesses on Broadway want a bunch of fat naked chicks walking around? You really think that makes a commercially successful atmosphere?

No bare asses on Broadway. Men's, women's or otherwise. Especially fat ones.

Oink.

she's not skinny, but i wouldn't call her fat. no cellulite or ass-acne. there are clothed people i find way more offensive on broadway.

I thought you were rather more amusing than this, Jubilation. Pity.

@24 -- I'm funny as long as I don't push YOUR buttons. Sorry, but them's not the rules. I'm sorry leek, but I'm not always likable on everyone's terms. Are you?

The -- hee hee -- bottom line here is that people should not be waving their asses around on city streets. It's why latent homosexualist college men go running naked together outdoors -- it's naughty.

As for whether her ass is fat or not, it appears generously proportioned to me...it's impossible to tell about the ass acne or cellulite, d. I think you're just exercising some wishful thinking, but there's no rule against that. So have at it...here, I'll even raise you: I bet it's as soft as a baby's (all baby's referred to here are over 18, proof of age on file).

Yes. I am irrefutably and undeniably likeable to every human and other sentient creature on the face of this, nay, of every planet.

And you're right, calling a pretty normal woman's ass a "hog ass" would be funny to some people! It's a select group of particularly classy individuals, too.

(regarding the matter of letting an ass of any size hang out on public sidewalks, duh, it's ridiculous and uncalled-for.)

@26 -- First of all, stop being passive-aggressive. You can do it, and you won't lose your Seattle address.

Second, we agree on the no public ass thing. Cool. Let's build our little popsicle stand on that common ground and sweep the rest under the rug like a good dysfunctional Episcopal family.

I'm surprised that so many people on Capitol Hill can bring themselves to be shocked at a bare ass out on the street. Really? Is it that bad? You need to get out more, I think.

Posted by Greg | June 10, 2008 6:06 PM

@28 -- My dear Greg:

You're amping up the volume on the reaction and using lazy language in the bargain -- no one is "shocked" here. I'm calmly sickened, is all. And rather at peace with the solution: wear clothes.

Now, one thing you say has a minor degree of intrigue: If I do "get out more," will I for sure see lots more naked ass? Because, wow, I've been missing it all these days. I walk down street after street in cities around the world and I DON'T SEE NAKED ASS.

Clearly, Greg, I just need to "get out more." It's out there, that naked ass; I just haven't been in the right places at the right times.

So, Greg...does your street in Capitol Hill have lots of naked ass, so I can "get out more" and see it? Please, tell us where to look and I'll be there with my Put on Some Damn Clothes! sandwich board.

Carry on.

I apologize, JTC. I should have gone the direct route of informing you that you're being an asshole.

It's sarcasm, by the way, not passive-aggressiveness (passive aggression?).

Posted by leek | June 10, 2008 6:21 PM

@30 -- That's my girl!!! :-)

And it's OK, I was totally passive aggressive against Greg in the very next post. Vive la difference!

The young lady's ass is not fat. It is fine. You lack skills of discernment in such matters, Jube, being a, what do you call it these days? A freakin' mo? The elderly heterosexualist position on this topic is, if I may generalize, "yes, please".

I'd let her back me up in a barfight. She's a big gal.

Though I am of the pole persuasion, Fnarf, I can still discern a boxcar from a mere caboose.

Nonetheless, zaftig heiny uber alles...god knows mine's no teacup breed.

Seattle is in serious need of IMPROV EVERYWHERE. I think she's trying to get it going. One improv-er (?) this year, next year a whole public transportation system enjoying no pants day. Climb on board. It would be funny.

@35 -- I'm down. But I'm also ready for people just like me to post snarky comments about MY fat ass. Unlike some here...

"a pretty normal woman's ass"

Given that there are 43 million overweight women in the country, I'll have to grant you that.

Posted by Bison | June 10, 2008 11:42 PM

Fnarf is right. Men might not admit it in mixed company, but they'd do both women, if they could.

In general, women are far more self-critical about how they or other women look than men are.

Women should be, Will. They're meant to be seen, not heard.

@29: cf. Greek Row, evenings between Thursday and Sunday. You will see plenty of shit that makes this (rightly) seem tame.
