a little while ago i was in my garage. i grabbed some carb cleaner and walked across the garage to my K5. 3-car garage, one big door one small. i didn't notice that i'd bumped a broom by the shelf until it fell over and hit the garage door opener button for the big door. up it went.

oh, did i mention i was completely naked at the time? plenty of passing cars and i didn't need anyone calling the cops. i was hidden behind the k5 but needed to get back to the other side where the wall button and both remotes were. i needed some cover. cylinder heads from old 350...nah. 50 lbs apiece and wrong shape for good coverage. spray paint some pants on? nah. then it hit me. i popped the hood and removed the K5's air cleaner lid. not heavy or bulky, 15 inches wide and provides some degree of side view protection thanks to the curvature. nice.

the moral of the story: sometimes vehicle parts make good pants.

Bwa ha ha ha ha! Ya gotta hate when that happens.

Actually I think it would have been more likely that no one would have done anything. I used to work at Hastings and every now and then someone would tear open a porn and leave it wide open on the floor. Interestingly enough, while this happened more than once, nobody EVER complained about it. Everyone would just avoid it like they were hoping it would go away. But then again, a magazine wouldn't feel embarrassed if there was somebody staring.

All your nosy neighbors may have been a whole lot nicer afterward.

lots of parents in the neighborhood. they can get pretty picky about that kind of stuff. and i don't want to go warping any young minds.

i miss college. nudity was just expected in many situations. if some chick is walking around with her top on people start to wonder if she has a rash or something. ha.
