News, Eatery's 'Naked Lunch' May Be Banned. (Skowhegan, Old Town: house, refrigerators)

[John1960]

GREENVILLE, Maine - The Black Frog Restaurant's version of the "Naked Lunch" may soon be banned, sharing the fate of William Burroughs' novel of that name.

A sandwich called the Skinny Dip, featuring sliced prime rib in a baguette roll, has been offered free of charge to anyone willing to plunge naked from the restaurant's dock into Moosehead Lake.

Since the free sandwich offer was introduced three years ago, owner Leigh Turner has found plenty of takers. "We've had two or three a week," he said.

a perfect case of one prude having control against a group of people just trying to have fun.....grrrr....but, unfortunately, in rural Maine an establishment can't exist without a liquor license!! and I'm sure that prude knows that.....

well El, guess we won't be going THERE....have to stick to Forest's woods


Thanks John for the thread!!

[Elcarim]

I'd have to go just to break the rules!!

[Elcarim]

PS. She was probably pissed because her husband was looking!!

[mollysmiles]

isn't that usually the way?? there's always Naked Bowling in Old Town....but we may be too young for that group.... lol

[mainebrokerman]

always someone to spoil a good thing,,
i like the concept tho,,,maybe i can parlay something like that to my meat market,,id want to tailor it just to the woman tho..

[starwalker]

Too bad I don't "do" water... sounds like fun otherwise. No problem with the nudity here, just the jumping into the WATER. Unless I have someone along to fish me out.. quick, before I can drown and miss that lunch.
