Mrs. Costanza: Every day it’s something else with you. I don’t know anything about you any more. Who are you? What kind of life are you leading? Who knows what you’re doing? Maybe you’re making porno films.

GEORGE: Yeah. I’m Buck Naked.

[Major Matt Mason]

His nom de guerre is derived from his platoon's practice of charging naked into battle, a technique meant to terrify the enemy.

Terrify? I think doubled over and laughing hysterically is more like it.

"More than 20,000 people fell victim (to me and my men). They were killed," said Blahyi, who dated the beginning of his murders to 1982, when he was ordained as a ritual priest responsible for making human sacrifices before battle. He said when he later led his fighters against the insurgency launched by Charles Taylor, he commanded them to embrace this tradition.

2008-1982= 26 years.

The guy is 37.

37-26=11.

So he was 11 when he was ordained as a ritual priest responsible for making human sacrifices before battle?

I think this guy just emailed me about transferring 80 MILLION DOLLARS TO A WILLING PARTNER IN THE NAME OF GOD AMEN.

[arderkrag]

Oh, yes, they call him the Streak
Look at that, look at that
Fastest thing on two feet
Look at that, look at that
He's just as proud as he can be
Of his anatomy
He goin' give us a peek

[Mr. Brightside]

Is “battlefield naked” considered “bad naked”?

[sinanju]

It’s possible.

In expatriate nigerian former jujuman now-convert, Isah Oke’s 1988 classic “Blood Secrets” he states he was 13 when he was initiated.

"Some people see me and congratulate me. Others see me and say I should not be walking down the streets of Monrovia posing proud. But I continue to tell such people I am not proud, I am ashamed."

I did a google image search on the phrase butt naked, I have not seen him yet.

Here he is, in the flesh:

I dunno, but if I had those abs I'd be tempted to walk around naked too. But eating the children's hearts, not so much.

[AmericanVictory]

Boomlay, boomlay, boomlay, boom!

[null and void]

I thought Butt Naked got shot in a San Fransisco park?

IIRC his dog was chasing pigeons, and the pigeon popcorn person took exception to this.

One thing lead to another, and the pigeon poop promoter shot him dead.

[Sax]

Uhhhh, what was that guy's name again?

Let's go Beavis, we're unlisting in that dude's army.

[Rb ver. 2.0]

I know some folks who were US embassy officials in Liberia went it went from in-the-toilet to total Hell. They don’t talk about it at all.

*sigh* That was Buck Naked (Of Buck Naked and the Bare Bottom Boys):

The band came to an abrupt end in 1992 when Buck Naked was murdered while walking his dog in Golden Gate Park’s “Panhandle” by a man named Michael Kagan, said to be an obsessive pigeon feeder. Kagan had threatened to kill anyone who disturbed his beloved pigeons; Buck Naked and his dog provoked him enough to murder.

*sigh* That was Buck Naked (Of Buck Naked and the Bare Bottom Boys):

Any kin of the Soggy Bottom Boys?

[Bigg Red]

I have to admit that I got a chuckle out of this initially. But, after actually reading the story, I shuddered. The devil sure has a lot of power....
