Naked Guy: Where Art Thou?

When I went to Berkeley, we had this total waste of DNA called the "Naked Guy." You might remember him? He got national coverage on all the networks for attending classes all year naked. Nope, he wasn't all that that either. Sigh. Why is it always the gnarly ones that decide to fore go the clothing?

He ended up being expelled for, of all things, sexual harassment. There wasn't a rule against walking naked on campus. Jeez! Silly campus administrators never thought someone would do this?! So they said putting his bare parts where other girls had to sit promoted a threatening environment. Ha! Hygienically challenged? Yes! Threatened? Uh, no!

Naked Guy was rather underwhelming in all departments if you know what I mean. I walked into him one hot afternoon off campus in his perky gym shoes and socks and thought that sun block would be a good idea, but you wouldn't need much. I'm sure he didn't get much play for advertising his inadequate wares. He actually dated the older sister of a good friend from college. On that national TV program, he dropped her very unusual name so her parent's could be proud. So considerate.


So, Isabel from Seattle Mom Blogs saw a naked guy on a bike in Seattle this weekend.

Naked Biker at Critical Mass in San Francisco: Maybe the Naked Guy's on a Bike Tour?

It made me think: Where did that dagnab Naked Guy go? Was that him at Critical Mass? Anyone know? Now that I think about, maybe that was the Naked Guy that Isabel saw? Naked Guy, where art thou? Here's one rolling out to you from the Gym Class Heroes titled appropriately, "Clothes Off:"

Actually, there's a rather sad epilogue to the Naked Guy story. A little over a year ago, he committed suicide in a jail cell in San Jose. I guess the guy had a history of mental illness, and he spent a lot of his post-Berkeley time in and out of jail and psychiatric care. Here's a link to a story in the Chronicle.

On a more chipper note, I like that the guy on the bike appears to have some decency by covering himself in a feather boa.

Shit. Karma is a bitch, and so am I. Oh, the guilt I'm feeling. I had no idea that was how he met his end. Very sad, indeed.

Well, hopefully, he's found a flock of other nekkid people in heaven/another dimension. Thanks for the update, Mark.

I like to think that everyone is naked in heaven.

That pic is gross, but the story is funny!

Sorry to hear that the guy died. Clearly he had some mental issues.
