The Daily Orange

Last year I got shut out in a pong game with some friends. Unfortunately, my buddies play for keeps.

It took months of cold weather, scheduling conflicts and an entire summer, but last weekend they decided I would serve my punishment: a naked lap around a South Campus apartment building.

We went to a friend's apartment, near Lambreth Lane, for a party. After some handshakes and smiles, we agreed it was time to take the plunge.

I slipped out the door and stripped down to my underwear. Then, with a nod to my friends, I pulled off my boxers and sprinted across the front of the building.

Once I got back to the apartment, I slipped on my boxers and couldn't help feeling an overwhelming sense of exhilaration. Half-naked, breathless and packed with liquid courage, one thought kept streaking through my head: "Nudity is fun!"

So, to spread the joy, I compiled a list of five great places for public nudity. Readers, it is time for you to sit back, relax and take notes. And then take off your pants:

First Date - Nothing says, "I want to be in a mature relationship," more than showing up at the door wearing a nice pair of loafers and a top hat. And nothing else. Unfortunately, most classy restaurants have a dress code. So wear your nice sock(s).
