Drill Field streaker amuses students

by Josh Foreman April 30, 2004

The days are getting warmer and clothes scarcer, but for one student, shorts and a T-shirt are simply too much. Clad only in a George W. Bush mask and a leopard-print thong, a male student streaked across the Drill Field Thursday afternoon at 12:15.

"I haven't laughed so hard all semester," senior communication major Meagan Newsom said.

Newsom, who witnessed the feat, said 50 to 60 people watched, some gawking, many laughing.

In addition to wearing the mask and thong, which Newsom said did not stay securely positioned, the streaker had the words "da ville" painted on his chest.

Newsom said the streaker, an acquaintance, is a graduating senior who just wanted to do something wild before graduation day.

She said the streaker planned the stunt. A friend dropped him off near Lee Hall, she said, and he sprinted across the Drill Field to another car waiting near Swalm, which promptly drove away.

Former Student Association Chief of Staff Kate McIntosh said she was talking to a group of friends near the flagpole at the time.

"I though it was funny," McIntosh said. "We just laughed real hard."

Ok, so maybe this should be in General Interest - but since he was wearing a Bush mask....

no pic?

[chance33_98]

How about this one?

[KangarooJacqui]

no pic?

From the description, I'd say that's cause for relief, not disappointment. :-)

[cyborg]

I wanted to see a thong not a jockstrap :D

[cyborg]

Relief yes

[flying Elvis]

He's a physically fit streaker for sure. That little jaunt is about 500 yards.

I saw a guy running around naked on Capitol Hill wearing a Bill Clinton mask.

At least I think it was a mask.

In my part of the world, a "thong" is one of a pair of these:

[cyborg]

LOL!

I'm surprised you weren't scarred for life... *shudders*

[cyborg]

True... I hear Clinton has a mean left hook.

[KangarooJacqui]

Hmmm, sounds like the guy in the story probably consumed one too many beers as well... *wink*

[KangarooJacqui]

True... I hear Clinton has a mean left hook.

Yeah, and her name is Hillary...


(sorry, that one was just TOO easy!)

[cyborg]

hehehe

Why can't these nuts just use Richard M. Nixon masks like in the old days?

It makes you yearn for a simpler time, doesn't it?

[KangarooJacqui]

Welcome to FR. Love your profile - as a former resident of Connecyticut, it made me laugh...

[lelio]

the streaker had the words "da ville" painted on his chest.

This rings of a sleeper cell's key word. Either that or I've had too much to drink.

[KangarooJacqui]

Either that or I've had too much to drink.

Well, I'm stone-cold sober and I misspelt "Connecticut", so maybe conspiracies ARE afoot...

[The Scourge of Yazid]

Thanks for the warm welcome.

I continue to be amazed at how generous you guys are when it comes to doling out the hospitality and graciousness. You've all made me feel welcome-except for the freepers who come from Wisconsin. For some reason unbeknownst to me, they hate my guts. Oh well.

Just part of the service! Besides, I'm Australian and we're open and friendly by nature (like most Americans - I can't comment on Wisconsin, though, as I've never been there.)

Continuing with the country stereotypes, though... join me in a Fosters, mate? :-)


oh, if only I looked quite that good...

[The Scourge of Yazid]

I hate to admit this, but I don't think I've ever actually ordered a Foster's beer. Don't get me wrong, it's just that I've kind of grown accustomed to drinking Heineken ever since I came of age, and it's kind of hard to break habit.

Though I'll be sure to by a couple of pints the next time I'm in a pub. I have to say, they probably have the best commercials on TV.

The crack about Wisconsin was just good-natured ribbing, I'm sure there are losts of nice Wisconsnites. I even had an American history professor who was born there.

Welcome to FR, swing on by the profile page for some fun at kerry's expense and check out the banners (if you need one let me know). Glad to see some other folks up this late! Or is it early?

[KangarooJacqui]

It's early - early Sunday evening here...

As Charles Schultz said once, "Don't worry about the world ending tomorrow. It's already tomorrow in Australia."

[The Scourge of Yazid]

It depends on what part of the country-or what region of the Earth-you happen to be in.

In Brooklyn: I'ts dark, I'm sweaty, and there really isn't much going on. Though I think there was supposed to be a Norwegian parade held near my neighborhood sometime this weekend.

Don't quote me on that last one.

[chance33_98]

I live in out in the sticks of Ohio. In a tiny country town of maybe 200 people. Lived in California and other parts of Ohio over time. Dark here, and the tiny town of Adelphi near me is ready for their bicentennial. Beer, chicken, parades, and some mud running will be par for the course. It's hillbilly heaven here, just the way I like it.

[The Scourge of Yazid]

Good to know.

I do like your home page on FR. I've actually written some poetry myself, but no one-with the exception of a few loved ones-will ever see it, unless it is divulged at the point of a bayonet.

I do have to contact you about my own profile page. I know that my own ineffectual computer skills aren't going to cut it.
