So me and some friends were drunk an hour ago(I'm still drunk), and since it's midsummer, the traditions need be held up... drinking, dancing around the midsummerpole, streaking... the whole deal.

So we ran naked through my friends neighborhood for half an hour or so up to a hill and hit some bull-statues with our... ...well anyways we ran into some girls, some rather hot girls at that looking like they were in about the right age to start university or already attend it...
But the thing is this isn't as common for people to do anymore... it's actually become a rather rare tradition to uphold...(just like recent years of youngsters don't drink as much as we do)

So the question is; if you saw a guy run around streaking during a pagan holiday, would this be a deal-breaker for you if you met the same man well dressed in school or when you were out?

(I might add I'm just curious, I don't expect actually ever see these women again)

Well, I believe the summer solstice is 6/21 this year, so I'm thinking they just think your nuts.

Had to look that up.

Says the date is variable, so I'm thinking, they are thinking, that you are nuts.

Or saw your nuts....?

Either way, they may be traumatized.

If it's done as a prank or joke, I would not see it as a deal-breaker. But then again, I'm rather immature myself at times and like to pull dangerous or funny pranks like that. If it's not something that's done regurlaly (specially the drinking part)...no big deal.

Midsummer was originally connected to the summersolstice, but as christianity came they tried to change it to the day of some "john the baptist" or whatever, and the date was moved a few days to fit the christian date. But the people thought "**** it, midsummer all the same, and so we've been going on with havng midsummer a few days later for the last millennium.

So it's sort of become a hybrid, as the date has been moved and we feast instead of sacrificing blood/animals/slaves/PoWs to norse gods.

Now that we're finally rid of christianity it remains the same though... hope these new Muslims wont bring new stuff to trash old traditions...

hahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Wow, can't imagine why my ancestors ever left the land of "let's go crazy when the sun never sets"

and I am trying to not picture this scene, ol' Benny Hill couldn't have played it better...

And while you are running around drunk and in the nude debauching a pagan statue and meanwhile able to determine with some degree of precision that some females who happened by appeared to be
" about the right age to start university or already attend it..."

I should think you'd be more concerned about whether any of them had a cell phone camera, perhaps you should check YouTube

ahahahahhahahahahaha
