Was it something I said?

Is this some sort of trend? New fad? Remember back in the early 70's the streaker craze? The most famous being the 1974 Academy Awards ceremony with david Niven. It appears as though nakedety (the act of being naked- use it enough it will catch on) is back in style. See my post Wet pants and other problems -

I recently heard of another case of nakedety (see, it's almost a household word now) in Chino Valley, AZ from a server at a local establishment (she'll kill me for this picture, but Oh well).


Chris was working one night when a guy walks in and takes off all his clothes. Everything. He's standing there in his nakedety and orders a beer.

The nerve. Everyone knows that when your stark naked the only appropriate drink to order is tequilla.

So she booted him out. Well, her and the threat of La Migra.

I found the following on-line courtesy Associated Press:

No Shirt, No Shoes and No Pants Means Jail
Sat Oct 8, 8:36 PM ET , AP
No shirt, no shoes — and no pants — has landed a Utah man in legal trouble. Last month the 51-year-old Sunset man allegedly entered a local convenience store in the buff on multiple occasions. Clearfield Police say in August he also made a trip through a restaurant drive-thru, au naturel.
City prosecutors have charged the man in justice court with misdemeanor lewdness. But now the Davis County District Attorney's office is investigating allegations of witness tampering, which could result in third-degree felony charges.
Police say that over the past week, the man has telephoned the same convenience store, asking for permission to enter the business naked.
He was attempting to talk clerks out of testifying against him, said Greg Krusi, assistant police chief for Clearfield.
Clerks called police, who kept watch outside the store. They witnessed the man approach the business, strip down and walk inside, Krusi said.
Krusi said officers arrested the man and booked him into the Davis County jail for allegedly driving under the influence, lewdness and telephone harassment.

Police Find Naked Man Hanging From Ceiling
Sat Oct 8, 9:13 PM ET
Police responding to an alarm at a cash advance business found a naked man hanging from the ceiling early Thursday morning.
An officer answering the alarm noticed tiles, insulation, wires and metal braces hanging from the roof and on the floor of the Check 'n Go, Darlington Police Lt. Danny Watson said.
A naked man with scrapes all over his body then dropped from the ceiling and tried to open the front door and leave, according to a police report.
"He had a charming story to go along with it though. He said somebody threw his keys on the roof and that's why he was up there," Watson said. "He kind of got a little fuzzy on the 'taking all his clothes off and sliding in the store' part."
Police think 22-year-old Michael Gilbert took off his clothes so he could fit through an air vent on the roof, Watson said.
Gilbert has been charged with burglary. The cash advance business doesn't keep money on the premises, police said.

So, nakedety is on the rise. Naked burglars, naked customers, and naked guys who fetch keys on roofs.

Why is it that I have yet to see a story about naked fashion models who get lost in Paulden and need to stop and ask for directions?
