BEAVER FALLS -- Thousands of volleyball players will gather in Beaver County this weekend for a volleyball tournament in the buff. The 105-acre White Thorn Lodge nudist park in South Beaver Township will host the 33rd annual Volleyball Superbowl tomorrow and Sunday. As many as 1,700 people are expected to attend -- some to watch, some to play.

Nude & Natural magazine once called it "the most unique event in nudism."

"You don't sweat as much," said Jeff Poland, of Canton, Ohio, who plans to attend for the fifth straight year. "You don't get overheated because you don't have clothes keeping the heat in."

Poland plays volleyball with other -- clothed -- leagues, but believes nude volleyball games have their benefits, such as friendlier players.

The event is a nudist extravaganza of sorts, with events other than volleyball. The festivities start at 4 today, when people will begin filing in for the opening ceremonies, dances, corn roast and nude skydivers.

Some members of the nudist park admit a few of the spectators who will attend the tournament will do so to take in the sights.

Still, event organizers said the tournament's a seriously competitive event. There's even six different skill levels, from novice to college caliber.

"And people do dive. Even on the asphalt courts," White Thorn spokesman Scott Coatsworth said. "The ones who know how to do it don't even get skinned."

It was an inside joke. The MILF thread got pulled earlier for "going off the tracks"

LOL! We were on a dinner cruise on Tahoe a few years ago and one of the crew told us that Tahoe was the second deepest Alpine lake in the world. I asked which one was the deepest and he replied "Titicaca" My wife sat straight up, looked insulted and screamed "EXCUSE ME?!?"

I laughed for days...
