So what exactly are the penalties for streaking? I know you get fined and probably banned for going on the field right? Are there additional penalties for being nekkid. Just wondering.
This thread was meant to be taken tongue in cheek--meaning that no one would be daring enough to pull off a stunt like that. When I print and/or you can immediately presume that I am joking around and that it isn't meant to be taken very seriously. I will be the first to admit to say just that. As for those guys, I'll say more offline--I know them both outside of the boards. Cheers!
Usually you get escorted by the Spartan yellow jackets, get a ticket--most likely a misdemeanor, and then get kicked out of the stadium. I'm sure they will send them on their way with a shirt, pair of pants, and shoes. Because of that, there are yellow jackets patrolling that one corridor where the Spartan Streaker pulled his stunt. Same as trying to run into the field and celebrating. Two guys from the San Francisco Bay Seals fan club are banned from Spartan for leading the revelry when their team beat the Clash in 1997. I think that if you tried the streak, you might be more famous than the other guy who tried that. (this is way too much!) Cheers!
Whatever your inclination about doing this, think it through. If you streak at the Quakes game, once security catches you, they'll likely cover you with one of those nasty, bright yellow windbreakers.
I think this is one time I"m glad I don't live close enough to San Jose to get to any games. I got an eyeful at the Indy 500 once...that was enough for me. Then there was the guy in Chicago who told me to "take off that d**n Packers shirt" at the pro beach volleyball finals...and I nearly obliged. That was a scary moment for me. Nope...don't like it. Don't like it at all.
For you youngsters out there... you probably don't know that streaking was at one time, long ago and far away, a very common occurrance. And yes... I partook. Before my 18th birthday. Living in a smallish city back east, there was NOTHING to do in high school if you didn't make up something for yourself. With the streaking craze taking off on college campuses, we thought it would be fine for high schoolers, too. We did it a bunch of times. And it was usually done to upset the over-40 set (I guess we considered them ancient and an affront to rock-n-roll lovers.) No one ever got in trouble, btw. The best streak was when a group of about 10 of us snuck into a movie theater that was playing a dorky movie called "That's Entertainment!", which was a tribute to the big movie studio musicals of the 30's - 50's. We planted a few "straight" guys in the crowd who stood up in the middle of the movie and yelled "HEY, WHAT ARE THOSE GUYS DOING??" Next thing you know, about 7 guys are streaking past the grey-hairs down the aisle, across the movie screeen, then out the exit doors into my buddy's parents' station wagon. Then a few guys still in the movie shouted: "NOW THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT!!" We didn't stop laughing for about two hours. I think there were some heart attacks, but no one died.
You guys and gals can do it--I'm staying out of this... the irony is that there are the ones who you least expect to streak are the ones who would, and the ones you would think that would streak wouldn't do it... The Spartan Streaker was enough. It ranks up there with George Best taking a swig of a brew, making the corner kick, and hooking it into the net for a golazo. I'd rather see someone in this team do the same thing twice over than see anyone I know dart across the pitch part deux. Defender is willing to take one for the team eh? Cheers!
Sounds like Nap has a repressed desire to streak. Bajoro's and ldb's two posts above were definitely LMAO. I may not be able to stop laughing for the next two hours. Quite a well-coordinated team effort!
I use this movie in class when I talk about the movie industry of that era. The kids are actually rather awed by the dancing, and yet they laugh at the hokiness of it all. Personally, I love this movie, if only because I grew up watching these movies with my mom. (I watched John Wayne films with my dad, so I got a good balance.) No one has streaked through my classroom yet, though.
Nap, what up man, you insane? The whole purpose of this thread was to encourage Aimer to streak! Lab Mouse, "That's Entertainment" is a gas. A little of it, however, goes a long way. It's the perfect counterweight to mid-70's, post-Vietnam cynicism. So what do we have here so far? A couple of dudes who would streak? We should pass around the sign-up list after some beers have been consumed just before gametime. We'll hold the JD for Ruby.
Bajoro, leave Nap alone. We accept all lifestyles on these boards and if Nap would wanna watch a drunken BillReeves and Beerking streak rather than Aimer, that is HIS choice.
When I was a young teenager, my friends and I streaked quite often in our "suburbia" neighborhood. We would spend the night at each others houses and sleep in the backyard in tents during the summer. At exactly midnight, we would strip down and cover ourselves with a sheet then set out for the sidewalks. As soon as we saw a car, we dropped the sheets and darted for the nearest swimming pool in which we would skinny dip then high-tail it back to our sheets and the house. Of course, times were different then. We only got busted once in a swimming pool. A streaker at Spartan would be funny as hell, but it's way funnier when it's a middle-aged guy who willing to take the indecent exposure chance. I think what would be just as funny is someone like that large-breasted blonde that used to (does she still?) run out onto the basketball(?) or baseball(?) field and give players a kiss. Who was she? Didn't they call her the blonde bandit?
Sorry, I'm afraid it might hurt now-a-days! This was part of our inspiration song...remember it? Here he comes...look...who's that with him? Ethel, is that you, Ethel? What do you think you're doing? You get your clothes on!
