The story goes that the Homeric athletes in The Iliad and the first ancient Olympians in 776 BCE originally wore loincloths to compete in. It was only later that a runner named Orsippus (or Orhippus) from the city of Megara decided to go naked, probably at the fifteenth Olympiad of 720 BCE in order to win the one-stade race (NB: a stade was the length of a stadium, which was often around 185 meters).

The 5th c. BCE historian Thucydides suggests that this shift to nude athletic competition perhaps happened a bit later, closer to his own time. To him, athletic nudity was a show of civility in the face of the barbarism displayed by the Persian enemies to the East of Greece.

Ancient Persians traditionally thought it against decorum to appear in the buff, and thus Greek nudity was an affront to their social mores. It was a symbol of Greekness at that time first associated with Spartans and then with many other Greek city states. It was said that even Spartan women worked out in the nude.

“Florida Man” be ballin’.

State law dictates how much crime detail cops can release:

Florida is the one US state where those laws are really loose.

That’s why it always seems that kooky criminals are in FLORIDA.

[Blurb2350]

His depth perception may need some work too.

Midnight Naked Basketball?
Wasn’t that a Bill Clinton program?

In Longwood ... Did he live up to it? No, I DON’T want to know. And this thread is just fine without pictures.

[BlueLancer]

Let me tell you a story. I once knew a guy who could've been a great golfer. Could've gone pro. All he needed was a little time and some practice. He decided to go to college instead. He went for four years. Did pretty well. At the end of his four years, his last semester, he was kicked out. You know what for? He was night-putting... just putting at night with the fifteen-year-old daughter of the Dean.

[pa_dweller]

‘Florida man...’ has now become Pavlovian for me. I know it’ll be hideous but I can’t look away.

[Pollard]

Longwood only has one park that I know of and it’s in the middle of a residential area. I moved away from that area 10 years ago.

Crazy from the heat is a real thing. Of course Florida attracts crazy from all across the country and from other countries too.
