We've posted before about SF Boylesque's shows in July and August at Truck. At long last, I'm posting the videos of their September 15th show. Here's part one, and you can check out part two after.
The Opening Number

Charley Gauxdoun
Brothers' Choice
Check out the rest of the show in part two.
I've blogged many times before about people getting naked or doing other risque antics for a good cause, whether it's doing car washes in tighty whiteys, the full monty strip shows the rugby boys used to do at their fundraisers, riding bicycles naked to draw attention to global dependence on petroleum products, and the like.
But here's one in a place you might least expect it: Utah.
Organizers of the Utah Undie Run managed to get an estimated 3,000 men and women to run in their underwear (nudity was prohibited) in order "to protest what they called the 'uptight laws of Utah."
Sounds like a worthy cause to me!
Check out a video of the run below as well as more photos at The Huffington Post.
I don't often do posts of "web finds," but every now and then I feel compelled. Here's one.
I graduated from college over 20 years ago. We had our share of drinking games, but there seem to be a whole bunch that were invented after I graduated, like flip cup and beer pong (sometimes called, oddly enough, Beirut).
One of my favorite innovations (at least, my circle of friends never did this) is the "shut out" rule. In any game with a score, like beer pong, foosball, or air hockey, if a team loses without scoring a single point, they're shut out or skunked and are forced to accept a pre-agreed penalty. Sometimes they're standard house rules for the dorm, fraternity, or circle of friends. Sometimes they're agreed upon at the start of the game.
One of the most common shut out penalties appears to be the naked lap rule, where the team that's shut out must strip off all their clothes and streak around a pre-determined area completely naked. Sometimes it's through the house, with the requirement that they have to entire every room. Sometimes, in a dorm, it's down the common hallway to the elevator and back. Often it appears to be outside, where they have to streak around the outside perimeter of the house, dorm, or even block.
Of all the naked lap videos out there, this one's currently my favorite even though the guys don't show full frontal to the camera (which is why it's survived on Youtube). Of course, part of that is that the guys are really cute, though that's true of many of the other college guys who've posted videos of their naked forfeits. Second, and perhaps most importantly, the video camera's quality is very good and clear, with a minimal amount of shaking and bouncing around. Third, the guys get completely naked, head to toe, even barefoot. And when they do their run, they aren't carrying their underwear with them (as so many others do), so you know if they get caught they'll have nothing to cover up with. Fourth, though their backs are to the camera and we never get to see peen, they don't appear to be trying to cover up, so it's clear their friends got to see the full glory of their full monty. And finally, though the camera operator doesn't run after them outside (where it would have been too dark anyway), it's clear that they have to at least run around the entire building.
Have any of you readers ever been shut out and forced to do a naked lap?
Last week, we alerted you to a new Men's Dodgeball league starting up at the Eureka Valley Rec Center in San Francisco. We went to check out a preview last week and it was a lot of fun.
Now there's a new potential twist: Shirtless Dodgeball.
The SF Rec & Park Department told our friend DJ Go, who is coordinating the event, that it would be okay if some of the guys wanted to play shirtless. So I came up with a twist on the rules to encourage guys to do it while still allowing guys to keep their shirts on if they wanted. A semi-strip dodgeball.
The rules are the same as usual: if you hit an opponent, they're out, but if they catch the ball, you're out and one of their players gets to come back in. But here's the twist: if you get hit, you have the option of taking your shirt off instead of going out. But if you get hit again once shirtless, then you're really out just like the normal rules.
The games are every Saturday until December from 1:00 pm until 3:00 pm at the Eureka Valley Rec Center, 100 Collingwood Street in San Francisco.
Though I won't be playing shirtless, I'll definitely check it out unless family obligations take me out of town. Here are some of the fun pictures from last week's warm-up. There are more on Flickr, too.
In addition to the Men's Dodgeball that our friend DJ Go is promoting through the SF Rec & Parks Department, we have another friend conducting an event sponsored by Rec & Park:
Future Chefs
Our friend Matt, soon to graduate from Le Cordon Bleu Culinary Academy, will be conducting a class teaching cooking basics for youth and adults alike who really know very little about cooking but would like to learn more.
A free demo will be held on September 2, 2011 (today!), and then the classes will be held from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. every Friday at the Eureka Valley Rec Center, 100 Collingwood Street (at 18th), San Francisco.
The fee for the entire series is $48, but scholarships are also available. Call 415/831-6810 for more information.
