Daily Weird #42 First the Naked Chef, Now the Naked Gym. What's Next... the Naked Politicians?
82Do you want to see these guys naked at the gym? I didn't think so.
Can You Have Too Much Naked?
All over the world, countries have been hit hard by the recession. In Spain, they’re hitting back. The businesses there have decided to cater to those whom most refuse to cater to, thereby creating a new niche of customers. Who are these dregs of society that businesses have previously refused to accommodate? Fat people? No, McDonald’s cornered that market long ago. Ugly people? Nope, Walmart has them covered. Spain dug deep, sucked it up, held their noses, and started making special accommodations for..... Naturalists.
Naked people everywhere (but especially in Spain)- now is your time to do the bareass dance of joy!
There are 12 nude beaches, 2 nude swimming pools, and now there are “naked days” at the Easy Gym in the Basque region of Spain.
I don’t know about you, but I would LOVE naked day at the gym; all those buff naked bodies sweating all over the…. Ewwww. Maybe not. Even worse, you’d have to be naked yourself to enjoy it. Butterfly presses and extra body fat do not work well together.
The more I think about this, the more I am convinced this is not a good idea.
First of all, Naturalists believe that being naked is the most comfortable and natural state there is, but quite frankly, so is a guy laying in front of the TV peeing in a jar, and you don’t see most of them doing it. There are a few, but eventually they get married and have to give up their jar.
Next, there’s the unsanitary nature of having naughty bits sweating on seats where other people will be placing their (clothed or not ) naughty bits. Not to be too technical, but that is completely beyond gross. I’m sure the gym owner plans on sanitizing the equipment, but I have to seriously question how many clothed members he will lose once the naked people start sliding their naked unmentionables all over the equipment. Yes, yes, I know… “He’ll have towels!”… Sure, well, I don’t believe there are enough towels in the universe for me to feel comfortable sitting on something naked people have sat on, moved around on, and sweat on…how much sweat and other junk can a towel hold before it seeps through?
Is this a trend? Are naked people going to be taking over? I need to know now so I can prepare. If I’m going to have to get naked to get time at a quality beach, swimming pool, or (ugh) gym, I need to do something about my germ-a-phobia. Oh, wait; I’m not a germ-a-phobic. I’m a normal girl who doesn’t think all of her body parts need to be on display when she goes swimming or if she should ever decide to pick up that 2-pound weight.
The day that I become the minority in my anti-doing-stuff-in-the-nude stance is the day I buy a bunch of scarves and hitchhike to Iraq. Please tell me I don’t have to go scarf shopping.
Finally, in my list of “why this is a terrible idea”, we come to the outfits most of us typically wear to work out at a gym. There’s a reason these clothes are snug fitting. It keeps all of our dangly parts from dangling. There’s a reason we keep our dangly parts from dangling. It’s called pain . We don’t want any pain from the things that happen when you dangle too close to certain pieces of equipment. Then there's the damage jogging on a treadmill does to larger women-dangly parts. They will become even more dangly. Eventually, the naked women will have to throw said parts over their shoulders to continue jogging without tripping. This could get downright ugly.
And, as I mentioned previously, ugly people already have a place at Wal-Mart. Please leave our gyms alone.

Hey where did you get those pictures? I think I might know some of those guys.
Fiddleman- You know, I was picking my nose and scratching my butt contemplating the same exact thing. Society just has no daggon class anymore!
Susan- OK, you got me. You probably recognize these guys from my facebook photos of my last family reunion.
In fairness to my cousins, this was taken AFTER the pie eating contest.
Mmm. My impending trip to the Gym is now going to freak me out as I imagine all those working out there without clothes- mixed emotions really! Why is it when they show nudist camps or naked gyms it is never a body beautiful!! I do not wish to see any private parts dangly or not while working out, thanks very much! ;-)
Way to get to the"naked truth"surrouding the"bare essential" of the"but" of a "nude thought":-))
Sue - you take the cake! You really do! Lol!
I have also noticed that the people who most want to be naked are the people we most DON'T want to see naked! I hope you don't have to go scarf shopping - if you do I'm going to Iraq with you!
Why are nudists always so butt-ugly? I once blundered onto a private nudist beach near San Francisco, and whoa! Fat and ugly was everywhere! Not one attractive young lady anywhere.
Docmo- These people look so gross because all the great looking people only look great in their tight fitting clothes.. this is what they look like when the spandex comes off!
Mentalist-Wow! I feel like an ass, butt I can't top your bald statement. :)
Realho- At the rate we're "progressing" I think we should start stocking up on the scarves!!
Will- it seems you're not alone in the quandary regarding the ugliness of the nudists. I, too, am somewhat baffled. I can only think that, like the 400 pound "ladies" on Jerry Springer who raise their tops and yell, "He wanted some of this, baby, oh yeah!", these people actually believe they're naked-worthy.
The people with truly beautiful bodies know they can get stuff for showing their fine selves off, so they keep the goods wrapped up!
Hi sueroy - Somehow it is difficult to imagine folks actually paying real money to sweat naked in the summertime and freeze naked in the wintertime, all the while grunting and groaning with overexertion.
Gus :-)))
When I saw your first photo, my coffee came out of my nose! Darn you SueRoy!
Will - Why are men so front-ugly? The last one I saw without a dangly thing from the front was Buffalo Bill in Silence of the Lambs.
It is amazing what pops up and out when the spandex is removed!
Sue,
I go to the gym once in my entire life and there just happens to be a photographer there! what are the odds?
I wasn't really naked, I was dressed in european minimalist...
C
Gus- is that overexertion they're grunting and groaning from, or did they forget the towel and are trying to peal their skin off of the equipment?
Austin- I KNOW!! Aren't they hilarious! I love the little guy on the right who apparently lost something in his drawers!
In fairness to the men, the nudist women are pretty "front ugly" too!
Chris- that's you in the middle with the blue Mankini and sunglasses isn't it?
I suspected as much. Are these the "househusband walking club" guys? Do you wear your Mankinis for the strolls along the beach or was this just a special day?
Special day, thought we'd impress the local ladies.
Failed
Much projectile vomiting and many high pitched screams...
We wear pants now.
C
Chris- Thank God you're a quick study. Projectile vomiting and screaming (sometimes wailing) has to happen three or four times before I get the picture!
Impressive.
(They aren't spandex pants are they??)
Wow this is fun ahaha.
Yuck, yuck, yuck. Your right, the habit of working out in the nude is terribly disgusting. But did someone say mankini? Oh no, now I'm laughing too hard. Luv the Hub.
Thank
Chuck
If i wanted that sort of action i'd go whaling, it's yucky poo and the thought of it has ruined my night. I'll be having nightmares and it's rather dispiriting to realise that this info is based on fact rather than stretchy fiction. They should be ashamed of themselves and i can't possibly vote this up. Oh alright i will then, as its very funny. Cheers.
melody- Thanks for stopping by and laughing with us!
Poorconservative- you're still angling to get a Mankini aren't you?
Fess up, Chris is the one in sunglasses and you're the little guy who lost stuff down his britches aren't you?? :O)
Spotonhumor- sadly all of my Daily Weirds are based on truth. I'm sorry about your nightmares, I, too have had trouble sleeping.
I dream of running around a gym trying to escape from fat guys' butts.... it's a nightmare but not... because every morning I seem to be in better shape and I'm losing weight.
Go figure.
I'm all for people being naturalists, sue, in the privacy of their own homes. But when most of the guys resemble the dudes in that topmost photo you posted, NO WAY!
BTW, I know what the lil height-challenged guy is looking for in his drawers, but I ain't sayin.'
Hey guys.... Fat people need love too! And more of it!
Hey - I saw John Mayer in concert last year - I loved him......until I saw him in one of those suits like the boys have on up there.....now I just can't get that picture out of my head! It was the lime green suit! Plus - poor Taylor:)!
I still love his music but I will never marry him now!
Sue,
You never stop, do you. I mean, what could possibly be wrong with hairy overweight men wearing cycling shorts?
Naked seems like a reasonable alternative to shrink wrapping the family jewels...
Stop criticizing my wardrobe, young lady, I'll have you know that I am considered quite the snappy dresser around here...
C
Sorry, that little fat guy can't be me. I'm shorter and fatter than that. LOL And please don't start with the mankini. I'm laughing hard enough already.
Thanks
Chuck
Drbj- awww, come on! I'm dying to know! A train? A tennis racket? A double cheeseburger?
Austin- that is so true. I've got the number for the little dude on the right. I'm sure Bob won't mind if you give him a little lovin'.
Of course, he seems to have lost something- it may have been important. He might not be able to return your love.....
Realho- I can see that. I'm planning on dumping my husband and eloping with Cap'n Jack (when he shows up at my door, which I know one day he will).
However, if he shows up in a Mankini, I'm slamming the door!!
Chris- and yet one more reason this Milltown girl will never grace the fashion-lined streets of Lemon County!
Are those cycling shorts? Seriously? I guess the little dude is looking for his bicycle. They need to find it... bad!!
(honestly, doesn't the guy in the yellow look like he accidently put his butt in the front?)
I can just see myself on the eliptical machine naked with my boobs slapping me in the face every time I moved my legs up and down!! Where do these people come up with this?
Poorconservative- shorter and fatter? Are you a Keebler Elf with an eating issue? Step away from the chips deluxe... and run! (If you can... wobbling is acceptable)
I'll have to exchange the Deluxe Mankini I had set aside for you for an Elf Mankini.
Please wait 6 to 8 weeks for shipping.
SB- good point. Do you have to take out special insurance before climbing on a machine? Do you have to have fake boobs, small boobs.... manboobs?
I wonder if there's a sign by each piece of equipment kind of like at the fair. "You have to have size B or smaller boobs to use this bicycle". Also, "Men you have to say 'size doesn't matter' and mean it, to even think about using the leg press."
Now you've made me picture Bob wearing that red mankini in my head! Does the word homewrecker ring a bell? Oh, the horror!
Oh cheese and rice Austinstar - thanks for bringing it home for me! Now I can't stop picturing Dave in one! LOL! All 6'2 and 250ilbs of him! I'll ask him later if he will just try one on:)
I made him go shopping with me - I begged him to just try on a pair of those shorts that look like blue Jean men's capris with the wide legs - yeah we are still laughing!!! He looked so gangsta!
Did you take a picture? I'll ask Bob to pose in a mankini, Oh, wait... the answer will be NO!
Austin and Realho- NO MAN looks good in a MANKINI!! Picture Tom Cruise. (barf) Picture Nicholas Cage ... oh my God, I think I'll keep that picture with me for a while!
If those guys looks like crap in one, for God's Sake don't picture any "normal" guy in one! (My husband is 6 foot and weights about 140 pounds... ALSO not a pleasant thought in a Mankini!)
Mankini's are Speedo's ugly cousin. They exist merely to make the Speedo a choice we will accept.
I should have posted a warning. I apologize deeply. :)
No I didn't have my camera Austin! Ha! It was yet another spontaneous moment in time! Wow! One of you should write a hub about things poor people do for fun! Email me and I'll tell ya!
I just called Dave and asked if he would try one on! He made me explain what a mankini was - then I heard the smirk! I heard it with a snort! and he said NO! Don't go buy one either!
And he's usually so much fun:(. Actually - if he agreed to try it on - it would be much more disturbing:)
Maybe guys should post an offer on eBay - I will put YOUR advertising on my Mankini for $500 and hour! I'll bet they will get some bids. Especially from SueRoy!
We could make those life sized card board poster boys for when you just gotta take one home:)! Maddy has one of Edward in her room - it's kinda creepy at night:).
Ausin and Realho- Your minds are frighteningly entrepreneurial... and a little scary...
(I totally would bid on that, you're so right, Austin!)
I am an enrepreneur Sue! Haha! Hardly anyone venturers into what I do Because it's hard to learn and there aren't any schools for it:) schwing! Works for me! I now search iL and MO and I hope I'll be in a town near you - soon! Lol!
OH my after I realized I hadn't been properly stalking you and fixed it, THIS baby caught my eye! OH MY.. please don't give the politicians ANYMORE idea's you silly thing! LOL They do a fine job of embarrassing things on their own without our help! For all we know, they're all wearing Booty Pop's so they can't be naked! LOL teheee!
I thought I fixed my comment but apparently not! It was supposed to say I wasn't properly stalking RH (RealHousewife's) hubs! DUH... Maybe I should just go into politics.. WITH clothes, don't whince! lol! Nice to meet you, I'm the neighborhood crazy lady. (For real, I even live on the end of the road LOL) :)
Too funny Kat - I knew you weren't following me but it didn't matter - I figured you didn't realize:)! We read each others stuff anyway so what's the diff?
I bet this one did 'catch' your eye:) they call it eye candy, right? LOL!
Maybe that's what the little guy is searching for - The CANDY in his pants!
Rolfpp!
Oh Susan, I don't know which was more profound: that you cracked me up or that I actually got a little nauseous a couple of times.
However, it was a great hub and certainly something that I am sure someone needs to know.
Hmmm, I know some nudists, oh, that won't work. They do not know that I know they are nudists!
Well, maybe they will read this and trot their little selves off to Spain!
Still laughing. I did enjoy this one. You are such a quick witted person.
Voted up and funny
Katharella- I'm glad to have you here even if it was due to over-zealous stalking of Realho!
I love the idea of politicians wearing nothing but their butt-enhancers. It would show them to be the fake buttholes they are!
I love your creativity!! It's great to meet you too. Obviously we don't turn away the crazies.. we encourage them. :)
Austin- you have to stop that! You've got realho peeing her pants again and rolling all over the floor!
I'm so glad I don't have to wash her floors!
Pixienot- Thank you for the great compliment.
I have to ask though.... how do you know they're nudists, but THEY don't know you know they are nudists?
A little telescope action perhaps?
I'm not judging... just thinking I might want in on that action!
Well sue - we moved the toilets in the living room, member?
Realho- THAT'S TRUE!! I totally forgot! You need to start potpip-ing (plopping on toilet peeing in potty) instead of rofpp-ing!!
By the way... was your pizza delivery guy as grossed out as mine?
OMG well for starters I had to put a stalk on you RH, I had NO IDEA.. I really already thought I was! I'm not good at stalking! lol I'm getting better though!
And about this toilets in the livingroom... BOTH OF YOU GOTTA SEE "IDIOCRACY" WITH Luke Owen.. Dax Shepard.. Luke.. "Joe Bowers" aka "Not Sure" LOL.. works for the government, because he's "average" in everything the Military uses him and a hooker for an experiment. They end up waking up 500 years into the future! Yeah.. Frito LOL he crashes into his apartment, and his chair IS A TOILET!!! LOL it's hysterical! And it's FUR!!!!!!!! HAHAHAAAA.. It's a kinda short movie, like the kind you're like "what's next awww" but totally freakin' hysterical! Fudruckers turns into butt...well, I don't want to give away the good parts, but Joe, "Not Sure" he ends up being the smartest man on the planet so they make him President! You can't just rent it.. you totally gotta buy it, cos you'll watch it more than once, then have to show it to everyone you know LOL! You'll love it when he goes to the hospital and stands in line.. "this tube goes in your mouth, this one goes in your".. well, trust me it's a must see!! hehe...
Sue - no! I asked if him he'd like to come on in and have a seat! I told him to take a load off:) LOL!
Kat - I'll see if I can get that movie on Netflix! I told you I watched Zombieland right? Hilarious!
Silly girl I own Zombieland! LOL :) Yep! If you have netflix check and see if Fido is still on Freeplay! It was a few weeks ago, some they leave on there a long time so look for it too. Think of me when the kids are in class and the Zombie pet guy says "And then where would you be?" and the kids all at once say "DEEEAAAD" HAHAA.. hehe...
Katharella- I'm a Netflix girl too, I checked and they have it, but only on DVD. I'll have to talk my brother into renting it since I only do the instant. It sounds friggin awesome!
Realho-"take a load off"... POPPIT!!! So..... did he?? :)
Sue - POPPIT! No because I told him I was charging by the pound for the dump:) I guess my tip was less than the load!
I LOVE that Netflix! I got it as a gift, and yeah it's the kind that keeps on giving!! lol.. I get the 3 rental one because I have a blu ray player and like to see some in blu ray that I already own on regular dvd! I think they have a thing to rent just one, not sure, but I'm glad you want to see Fido it's horribly funny! lol..
RH: Did ya see SUCK with Alice Cooper - Iggy Pop.. ? If you want to look up a good review someone on my list Spiderbytes he did a review on it and it's pretty darn good one! Like WHO DONT LOVE ALICE COOPER!!! sheesh, and him being a Vampire Bartender.. hehe great! I wanna go there lol! His daughter is in it too.
Yes, I'm most concerned about the sanitary aspect. Yuck. I'm all for nude beaches and letting ones parts be free in the wind, but not in a gym especially. The treadmill without a sports bra on? no thanks. They may feel free, but not pain free should anything happen to their parts.
Realho- POPPIT!!! Too funny! I'll have to try that charging per pound thing next time!! Excellent!
Katharella- Netflix rocks!
Izetti- I'm with you 100%! The sanitary issue is also a "gross beyond belief" for me.
Also...they make sports bras and jock straps for a reason... not that I want to see people in only those items!
Both Speedos and Mankinis need to be outlawed. Harry Manboobs should unleash a fart in the creator's direction.
nice hub..! i'd rather watch a dog poo than watch a fat man working out naked..
Austin- what an excellent idea!! I love it. Maybe I can get Chelsea to draw a picture of how such an event might look, then maybe we can get Stan to sneak a little article in during class. :)
Toby- I'm completely on board with you here! Dogs pooping can be interesting, if a little disgusting at times. Fat man working out... just disgusting.
Thanks for taking the time to stop by and make such an excellent observation. I actually now have an image in my head of a naked fat guy doing butterfly reps with his little dog next to him taking a dump. I'm keeping my eyes on the dog.
Nakedness is not exactly natural for a human being. It is the most primitive state, but it is natural for most to wear clothes. They offer comfort, warmth, protection, and modesty.
jtyler, were you born with clothes on? Clothes are man-made comforts and they are not "natural" at all. You've got it backwards mate.
Austinstar - you speak Austrailian! Haha!
@austinstar
what I mean is that most people feel that clothes are a natural part of their lives. they don't think twice about them.
Well, jt, I have learned to say what I mean and mean what I say. Others will take you literally too. Always proof read :-)
Jtyler- Thank you for taking the time to comment. I actually completely understood your comment. "Doing what comes naturally" includes, for most of us,wearing clothes.
Unfortunately it also includes farting in public and scratching in unusual places when they itch... so maybe being "natural" isn't ALWAYS good. :O)
Austin- I'm beginning to suspect you're a naturalist who put clothes on only for her avatar picture.
Come on... fess up!!! :O)
I'm always naked under my clothes. If I could chuck the clothes, I'd be a happy camper. And I could star in a horror movie at the same time!
Austin- LOL!! No, you could star in a fluffy is FINE commercial! I just tried out for one, but I didn't get the part. They said I was fluffy enough, but they were looking for someone with a little more 'edge'.
Bring the test tubes filled with blood and your wicked grin... clothing optional.
Crazy world !!
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder so all of us are gorgeous to some other people! We are all perfect 10's to someone - now doesn't that make you feel great!
Roni- yep. Totally insane!!! But at least it's not boring. :)
As my daughter would say... "It's free entertainment!"
Realho- That is so true. Just the other day there was this guy who said I was a total 10.. and I said, "Stevie Wonder, you're nothing but a big flirt!"
Well look at Shrek and Fiona! They are totally hot for beach other! Personally I don't think Shrek is all that cute....but Fiona is in love!
Hey Austinstar, you stole my favorite comment! "but I am naked all the time, under my clothes" LOL!! Hey, great minds, they say!! But it's TRUE! Yes, I agree with everyone, this mankini is right up there with the speedo, only somehow, stretched, to make mankini!
Ok don't laugh, but before I got my dog fixed, I put a thong on her with a kotex LOL.. she didn't like it, but I told her, NO taking off doggie thong.. I think she didn't want the neighbor dog to see her cos she's a Rottweiler and he was a Pug named Brutus! I saved her embarrassment and let her have the thong off outside until she got fixed. Now had I known of mankini, I would of suggested it to Brutus's mommy!
OH AND TO WHOEVER SAID NO WORKING OUT WITHOUT SPORTS BRA.. DITTO!!!! "BIG TIME" ditto LOL! It's a must!
You know I once spotted a product I think was called naked shoes. They were just soles that you stuck to the bottom of your feet. I loved them! Whatever happened to that idea? I guess sandals are cooler and look like they won't fall off, but I liked the sticky soles. Maybe this is something I could write another hub about. Cool Products that no longer exist!
Turntables:( record albums - 78's and 45's. I just loved my collections!
Realho-Shrek and Fiona are my favorite couple. He married up!!
I asked Syd's teacher (who is a personal friend as well) if we should do Syd's biography book report on Laura Wilder or Shrek. She totally though I was serious!
katharella- a thong with a Kotex... and just when I thought I'd heard everything! OMG Rofl!! POPPIT!!
Realho- LOL!
It probably IS a good thing we don't live near each other... oh, the fun we could have...the trouble we could get our kids into!! :O)
Uh huh, I know! Hub people might bail us out.....
Hahaha, I have bookmarked the site into my shopping file. I did write another hub, but it's about Y'ALL!
Run Sue! Run! Go see it! POPPIT! Pop!
Austinstar - I also love Monkeys, I want one - and a real one too! Lol! Your so bright!
I knew it was for you the minute I saw it! Screaming Monkey Sling Shot, hell, that should be your nickname.
Ok guys. I'm sitting on my portable potty while I write this because I'm all out of clean pants.
Side-splitting funny, Austin. Seriously, my side is split. Thank God I have duct tape!
I promise you, this is the truth... I have a screaming monkey sling shot. I actually bought two and gave one to Chelsea's doctor! Am I a cool mom or what!
Oh, and bringing my kid into the act.... brilliance. (I'm waiting for the knock on the door from the social worker, however..."what's this I hear about your child's obsession with manboobs?"...hahaha ~gulp!~)
And I always wanted a sling shot when I was little. I actually begged for one when they wouldn't go for a bow and arrow. Hm. Never got it either. But I did get a nice pacifier - a typewriter! Manual but it was great! So I got to shoot the neighbors dog that bit me in my diary:)
Sue - you are a cool mom. No doubt - can't even joke about it. I mean you even let your kid sit on the living room toilet and play video games I bet!
I'm telling you guys darnit!!!! The "chair toilet" is IN THE FUTURE.. please by all means rent or better yet BUY Idiocracy, and see Frito's chair! LOL.. you'll want to head right out to Costco and ask where they are! Only to find they are somewhere behind all the red sofa's. (And maybe law school) :)
It's going in my next comedy hub, maybe I should get started on it now! lol!
Wait.. I did forget we won't be around in 500 years, although we could give time a nudge with the idea... just a THOUGHT...heh ...
Realho-I'm so sorry to hear that the neighbor's dog bit you in the diary. That must have left a mark!
Actually, Chelsea and I each have our own living-room-potty... that way she doesn't have to stop whom-ping my butt when I have to tinkle!
Katharella- Idiocracy is on my list of priorities!
Fiddleman Level 5 Commenter 12 months ago
Wow! Who would have thought this up. I don't go to the gym but the thoughts of naked butts sitting on the equipment sweating all over it is so disgusting. Many seem to have come to the pointwhere nothing is embarrassing anymore.
