DALLAS --
The gloves have come off in the tight election race between two Texas congressmen -- and every other article of clothing appears to be fair game as well.
Democrats on Monday circulated old newspaper clippings of a 1974 college streaking stunt staged by hundreds of students -- including then-18-year-old Pete Sessions -- at Southwest Texas State University.
The conservative Republican congressman -- who wrote a column condemning Janet Jackson's nude display during her 2004 Super Bowl halftime performance -- apparently bared his bottom with about 300 others in a stunt that ended with arrests and a clash with police. Newspapers were filled with nude photos and headlines like: "Dudes, Broads, Bare Bods."
Southwest Texas students were apparently trying to break a streaking record set by another university amid a nationwide college streaking craze.
"Congressman Sessions' old school days are long gone," said Sessions' spokesman Chris Homan. "He recognizes it as an immature action of an 18-year-old college freshman."

I guess that's not what you would call a "heads up" move.

This streaker walks into his psychiatrist's office wrapped only in saran wrap. The psychiatrist says, "I can clearly see your nuts!"

Actually, if you've ever been in Storrs, CT., in February you'd know that any exposed appendages would be fairly withered by the wind chill factor and frostbite.
I wouldn't quite be myself again until June....

We streaked to the sorority house across the street every semester. They invited us in and gave us cookies.

I just hate threads like this. So many jokes come to mind, but none of them are acceptable on a family board.

anybody recall the Keep on Truckin' dude by R.Crumb(I think)?
I sort of remember that was the modus operandi when partaking in this fad back in the day(I was still in HS in '74, and it gets hazier every year)

The streaking phenom certainly was entertaining to this teenage boy even tho never participated. The stunts looked like an opportunity to get some serious Road Rash....all that flappin' and slappin' was pretty funny and a great distraction from everyday college boredom. LOL.

Streaking Sessions ........ five minutes only.

I have the Ray Stevens CD with "The Streak" along with Mississippi Squirrel Revival, Gitarzan, Ahab The Arab, Bridget The Midget and others. Ray Stevens was a trip.
I live in Tx-32 and I'm voting for Sessions.

Exactly! Who cares. This would cause me to sway my vote the other way if my candidate brought BS like this up.

My memo to Rep. Sessions this AM:
"Pay no attention Mr. Frost's latest desperate ploy!
Just tell him, and the public,
"When I run, I''ve got nothing to hide!"
Keep up the good work!"
