Tom the Bomb (Guest) on 04/07/2008 11:07 am

I agree,Rog... NUDE YOGA HAS DONE WONDERS FOR ME. And that was the main point of your entire essay, wasn't it? Or did I miss something?
(cue recorded laugh track)

Kevin (Guest) on 04/07/2008 11:34 am

You know....sex burns calories. I think I'll go find a platform and work out in public...like down the street in front of the elementary school.

If only I could find a work out buddy....one who likes my special brand of protein shakes.

James (Guest) on 04/07/2008 11:54 am

I would respectfully tell you no to the nude yoga think Rog. I mean you'd possibly get sunburns in places, "where the sun don't shine", from all those poses. If you catch my drift.

LadyMage on 04/07/2008 12:04 pm

hang on james, he could just use sunblock, spf 60 (I am pratically mortica addams in skin tone so that is what I use) and then go for it

scott mitchell (Guest) on 04/07/2008 12:19 pm

well I live in portland oregon see, and I have noticed this trend almost everywhere. on the west coast, is all that pacific ocean making people want to exercise in public? I'v heard cursing and yelling at people helps anger and relieves stress...

James (Guest) on 04/07/2008 12:33 pm

good idea Ms.LadyMage, did not think of that.

Evicted (Guest) on 04/07/2008 12:49 pm

In my town, every summer there's a man who does 1000 one handed pushups a day (with short breaks) on the streets, purportedly for Jesus. I don't know why Jesus needs a man with preternaturally large biceps to do push ups for him, but only the power of the lord could make anyone do anything that weird.

Huggbees (Guest) on 04/07/2008 2:12 pm

Nude Yoga has taught me to find the center of my chi...while flailing my genitals.

Big daddy Z (Guest) on 04/07/2008 2:42 pm

What you witnessed was a mating dance used in an attempt to woo the opposite sex. This particular species of man, known as "pretentious pontificatorous" typically displays in a public forum in an attempt to spark the envy of other members of the species. Unfortunately, this rarely works, and the species is slowly but surely going extinct.

Tom the Bomb (Guest) on 04/07/2008 3:21 pm

On the topic of religion: I don't know what the intended value of doing 1000 push-ups for Christ is, but I will grant that it is way more impressive than this other thing I heard about - where lawyers from The Cult of Scientology try to sue you 150 times. That sux.

MrEff on 04/07/2008 3:44 pm

Next time you see someone doing public push-ups you should get in there and shout at them, like you're their trainer or something. Maybe hum the Rocky montage tune.

Ross Burns (Guest) on 04/07/2008 7:41 pm

I live in Portland, too, but I've never seen it.

Nick on 04/07/2008 8:48 pm

MrEff: Best. Idea. Ever.

Marthaeus Autolykos on 04/07/2008 8:51 pm

That's because exercise rocks. You should try it.

I can totally beat the pushup thing. I used to see this group at martial arts tournaments/camps: "Karate for Christ." Sadly, I never had the opportunity to administer an embarrassing beating upon them. Besides, anybody who's seen "Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter" knows that he's quite capable of handling himself in brawls, without a mob of gi-clad sycophants. Well, he did call in that luchador. I suppose that's all the backup he needed.

bountyhunterseven on 04/07/2008 10:21 pm

if i saw that, i'd stand next 2 'em and eat tasty snacks! "mmm, twinkies!!" "ooooo, resse's peanut butter cups"!!

Dungeonbrownies on 04/08/2008 12:01 am

yes, i run across a shirtless excerciser once in a while coming home from school. he looks like a hairy balding chimpanzee, but apparently hes into his own health. so good for him.

but i saw a person like you described before,
except he'd do side kicks and air humps,
and it turns out, years later,
that his weird assed excercises,
according to my old man,
are old timey martial arts toning excercises,
and he was practicing for MMA,
which has now taken off pretty well.

autodidact on 04/08/2008 12:41 am

I recently noticed a guy in my neighborhood doing something similar. Sweaty and shirtless, face-down on his driveway. Turned out to be a seizure.

OxBlood on 04/08/2008 2:13 am

Attention-Whore...that´s the word, isn´t it?

"oooh, look how muscular and trained my insert-strange-muscle-name-here is!"

If they want muscle, they should sign up at the local docks.

greenimp on 04/08/2008 2:39 am

me n my mates throw half bricks at them, we also throw yougert at emos, and please, no nude yoga out on the streets!

0dd1 on 04/08/2008 6:48 am

I don't see why people can't do it in the comfort of their own home. For one thing, IT'S JUST PLAIN WRONG ON SO MANY LEVELS TO DO IT WHERE ALL CAN SEE. Plus, there probably won't be as many people offering them bananas.

It could be worse, though-- it could become a fad among all the women.

Silver on 04/08/2008 8:36 am

Ahhh... such is the fate of those who take the Rocky series too seriously...

Ronin S on 04/08/2008 9:12 am

Um, I recall hearing somewhere on one of those CNN documentaries that this is how a guy indicates that he is 'for sale'...to other guys. Yikes...

Colonel Flagg on 04/08/2008 9:44 am

I was enjoying this, but now I need to take a shower having read Ronin's comment.

Icculus on 04/08/2008 12:06 pm

Yeah, talk about sharp left turn there...I bet you get the big bucks for naked yoga though.

Drunken_Lemur408 on 04/08/2008 2:59 pm

Must See Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter!

brahzilla (Guest) on 04/08/2008 3:39 pm

lol that reminds me of an episode of kenny vs spenny where spenny quits the show and kenny tries to find a replacement and one of them is a guy who does nothing but push-ups, he dosn't care were he does them, the stairs, the table, the pond! funny shit

Brunbb on 04/08/2008 7:13 pm

I was in downtown Burbank

GAY

temo (Guest) on 04/08/2008 10:16 pm

get over it :D

Kevin (Guest) on 04/09/2008 4:24 am

what does being in downtown brokeback have to do with anything?

Brunbb on 04/09/2008 7:40 pm

Because Max Burbank is one of the sites writers....

El Sammo on 04/09/2008 10:51 pm

Don't you EVER call my beloved Max Burbank gay! He's a wonderful man and what he does in the privacy of his own sex dungeon is HIS business and not yours!
And Rog, you should put things on these dudes backs, like trash cans and benches. Maybe a stray tele sitting near the street waiting for the trashman. You know, to "help his strength training" by adding weight.

the mike (Guest) on 04/10/2008 4:00 pm

ive never seen this phenomenon...i think ill have to pay more attention when i drive down sunset

GLX-Mr. Ordinary on 04/11/2008 8:32 pm

I actually Know someone who does this my father in law LOL. thankfully i have not been there when he has done this but the storys my wife tells are like camfire horror stories, creepy and leaves you with nightmares

joey (Guest) on 04/12/2008 6:06 pm

sounds like zanta is spreading further then toronto lol (david zancai on wikipedia check it out)

Invisible on 04/14/2008 11:00 pm

I liked the idea of yelling at the guy like a personal trainer. But add the bonus of standing on his back while your screeching at him about what a 'worthless maggot' he is! :-D

Dr. V on 04/16/2008 1:53 am

Hahaha... california, man. California.

Fiq (Guest) on 04/17/2008 8:29 pm

Have you ever seen someone doing pushups in the middle of the friggin road? Damn kids were challenging each other who could do more before the streetlight turns green. Idiocracy has officially been taken to another level.

eliz.lanier on 04/21/2008 7:33 am

If doing pushups randomly in the sidewalk is signaling you're "available" I couldn't imagine the horrors that doing nude yoga would cause. DON'T DO IT ROG!!!

Snooky (Guest) on 04/28/2008 7:23 pm

If he doesn't do it, I WILL.
