If people were meant to run around naked, they wouldn't have been born wearing clothes.


It’s not often that you are sitting quietly on the couch watching the news, then find yourself confronted by a streaker wearing nothing but Doc Martins and a smile.

Well, not every night, anyway.

*lol* You made my day. Such a funny picture. I have similar ones of my children, naked, wearing nothing but sunglasses and a smile.

this is so so cute...

I just hope that Henry doesn't rebel against you as a teenager after finding out that u posted a butt-naked pic of him on the global platform.

So there's another one for Henry's wedding reception slideshow.

That is a very funny picture and very cute one indeed. Make sure to give this picture to his partner one day on a very special occasion. :-)

Why is it we love streakers so much?
One year we went to the Boxing Day test - the highlight of the day was the streaker.
I think Henry will have to choose more appropriate footwear in future if he has any chance of outrunning the streaker tacklers.
freefalling said…
oh yeah - did your newsreaders have their jackets off, too?
LOL! What a riot, how cute!!!!

My kids always preferred being nude--me too, when I was a kid!

April, he certainly seems liberated.

Priyanka, I think that is very tastefully done. Henry doesn't mind posing nude, as long as his artistic integrity isn't undermined.
Kris McCracken said…
Jackie, if he has any sense and he will forgo the formal wedding and elope like his parents!

Weddings are nightmares.

KL, it will be bought out prior to all first dates.
Kris McCracken said…
Sue, and very discrete.
Kris McCracken said…
FF, I don't mind streakers if they are sober. If they are drunk, they annoy me.

And I still recall Helen D'Amico very fondly.

I regret to say that the news programs I watch feature ladies who never wear jackets.
Kris McCracken said…
Mary, I don't mind a bit of nude time even now. I do stop short of sharing it with the world, however.

Nudist colonies can live without me, I think.

He already has a trucker's tan.

Bazby, this child also likes to store food in my shoes.
Kris McCracken said…
Crittoria, well, we all will, he'll grimace.
Kris McCracken said…
Elaine, he loves flexing the muscles in a singlet.

i never thought to post my shots of my sute naked kids - shouldnt we ask for their approval first?!? in any case, they really are cute at this phase!

Kiwi, I asked Henry, and he sad it was fine, provided that they had "artistic merit".

If necessary, I will paste a tasteful nude of myself as a gesture of goodwill to him.

I thought you might want to know the source of the quote, "If people were meant to run around naked, they wouldn't have been born wearing clothes." Wikiquotes says it's by Reverend Loveshade and is in Ek-sen-trik-kuh Discordia: The Tales of Shamlicht which is scheduled to be published this year. The book got a favorable review from Alan Moore (V for Vendetta, Watchmen, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen) so it's worth checking out.

Lost inside an adorable illusion and I cannot hide, I'm the one you're using, please don't push me aside, we could've made it cruising, yeah.

Yes it is Theme Thusday again, and today we are talking GLASS . I've three possible hooks to hang my [glass] hat on with this theme. First, the photo! Yes, it is the river again from an odd angle in an interesting light. You can just make out the bottom, which should tell you that I'm right on the shore. In some ways, the distortion of the stones below the surface reminds me of ye olde glass windows, what they call "cylinder blown sheet glass". You can still find some of this around Hobart these days. Thw second link comes from a trip I took to Venice a few years back. You're probably aware that Venice was (is?) a glass-making centre of excellence. If you have ever been there and taken the tour of the glass factories, you might be familiar with the sheer amount of coloured glass that sits at the bottom of the water there. These fragments of glass have been worn down and had their edges dulled by their time in the water, which makes them ample keepsakes for the ...

Hold me now, oh hold me now, until this hour has gone around. And I'm gone on the rising tide, to face Van Dieman's Land

Theme Thursday again, and this one is rather easy. I am Tasmanian, you see, and aside from being all around general geniuses - as I have amply described previously - we are also very familiar with the concept of WATER. Tasmania is the ONLY island state of an ISLAND continent. That means, we're surrounded by WATER. That should help explain why I take so many photographs of water . Tasmania was for a long time the place where the British (an island race terrified of water) sent their poor people most vile and horrid criminals. The sort of folk who would face the stark choice of a death sentence , or transportation to the other end of the world. Their catalogue of crimes is horrifying : stealing bread assault stealing gentlemen's handkerchiefs drunken assault being poor affray ladies being overly friendly with gentlemen for money hitting people having a drink and a laugh public drunkenness being Irish Fenian terrorist activities being Catholic religious subversion. ...

Happy anniversary baby, got you on my mind

No it is not a webcam, but this photograph was taken a mere forty-five ago on my way in to work. Here you can see a good old fashioned Hobart autumn morning, with the rain pelting down and me getting drenched. This one was taken on the corner of Macquarie and Elizabeth, while I was waiting for the lights to change. Come on Ampelmännchen ! Today is my wedding anniversary, an apparently I need to be showering Jen with leather -related goodies. Va-va-vaVOOM! To you Jennifer, here is a poem I wrote this very morning. Anniversary I love you i love you iloveyouiloveyouiloveyou I LOVE you I love YOU iloveyouiloveyouiloveyou I LOVE YOU iloveyouiloveyouiloveyou Happy anniversary
