Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for March 13, 2015

Can’t help but wonder if the local house band is a group of rebellious musicians who call themselves “Nudist Priest”… – I know some retreats have places set aside where one must wear clothing (including some restaurants), but I’m sure there aren’t overwhelming numbers of signs that say: “No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service!”…. – Since it is a “dual-purpose” venue, I would hope none of the “naked natives” would ever photobomb any of the wedding photos!

TOO natural! Walk by to the car, Brad and Toni… really slow.

“The Naked Truth”“Deep Sea Godiva”“Beauty Ain’t Skin Deep!”“Stark Raving Mad”“Nekk-It Figures!”“Au Naturalle Corral”“Oh, Natur-ahhhl, Pal!”“No Shirt, No Shoes, No Problem!”“Another Garb-led Message”“The Streaks Come Out At Night, The Streaks Come Out At Ni-ght…” (♫)“An Exposed Expedition”or“Can’t Deal With Clothes Minded People”

My goodness. B & T have a knack for picking the weird ones. This would never happen in real life, though. Ah, the escape.

The ‘Greeter’ can see that Toni and Brad are wearing clothes, so his question is kind of silly. Would they be dressed if they were there for the ‘naturalist’ retreat? -We always thought of ‘naturalists’ as people who specialized in saving forests and swamps, or injured critters who live in them, or what. Those guys who like to run around the way ‘nature’ made ‘em, we called them ’naturists’. (That’s when we weren’t calling ‘em ’nudists’, or crazy. Too cold up north for that kind of mishigus..)-Funny thing; Toni and Brad seem to be looking at exactly the same thing. Hope that helps them give up on brochures and just pick a local site that they both like…

You know what they say: The pen-is mightier than the sword.

Payback for Brad giving poor Toni an all-expense-paid trip to an uninhibited (not uninhabited!) island in the Caribbean!

That should put some wows in the vows.

While it would save money on suits & dresses, no. Just no.

I am thinking that the kids will decide the best place to hold the wedding is at Brads parents home….or possible the Fire Station…though there they will have to keep their fingers crossed that the fires hold off till after the wedding….

Nobody wants to see Toni and Luann, not to mention Brad’s mother nude? I am a nudist by the way.

Did Troi marry Riker? I stopped watching Star Trek, but always had the hots for Marina Sirtis. Think I saw her on Grey’s Anatomy last year. Still looks good.

If Troi and Riker couldn’t find any wedding places on Betazed, at least they’d have had one in Pitts to consider….

No wise cracks yet?!?

..Seriously, B&T. Church. Preacher. Tux. White dress. Go for it.

Yeah, I can’t see two weeks of “bad venues” going on. I could see tomorrow being one more “bad” one (or possibly the one “good one”), and maybe another week where after they find the right one, they subsequently get into a conversation about the place (either with the proprietor, or amongst each other) to give us a bit of “background” to think about, until the actual wedding. Whenever that will be…

The fire station of course. There’s no other place.

“RETREAT!”

All this to make TJ’s Formerly Abandoned Warehouse and Wedding Chapel ( Chuck E, Chez franchise pending)ook like a good alternative????

Sometimes I dream that I’m completely naked in a public place and I feel so embarrassed, but I just pretend that everything is normal.

This might be weird, but I bet it’s a lot cheaper than the other options!

So, if something good is accomplished, a conservationist did it? And if something undesirable resulted, it was an environmentalist’s fault?

NEXT!

Hahaha This one made me REALLY Laugh out loud!!! Could it get any worse? LOL LOL

Well since they are a couple… with clothes on…

Okay, STOP Right THERE, Mr. Evans.You’ve Gone FAR Enough…..,

I am certain that neither Brad nor Toni would be interested in a naturalist wedding ceremony. This visit can be ended even before anything more is said. Brad looks bemused, Toni startled at the sight before them!

Nudity is a way to get to know people better. But, really, I don’t want to know this guy that well.

Betazed wedding?

On the other hand tho,I’d like to get to know Brad’s future bride a bit better.(Can’t recall her name atm).

That should be “naturist”…Duh?!?

Was the crack really necessary?

Love the “strip” but, he is a naturist, not naturalist. A Naturalist is One versed in natural history, especially in zoology or botany. Still think it is a great ’toon. Hope this is the venue they pick.

Greg, do some research! “Naturist” and “Naturalist” are two entirely different things! Naturists are what most people call nudists, and naturalists are people who study nature. Not that a person can’t be both.

“Unlikely we stay with Brad/Toni another week given there’s the 30th anniversary….” ^That’s why I said it htis way: “and maybe another week (as in not a consecutive week, but a future one) where after they find the right one”

similar to “maybe another time”….

Again, the retreat could be a “naturalist” retreat run by “naturists”!

I think the word for nude camps should be “naturist.”

HA! Oh, pick this place – I dare you!

Amazing the difference an L makes. The authors might want to review the difference between naturists and naturalists. Not saying which one I am . . .

Upon further reflection, i think we need to give Greg a break in re: “Naturalist” vs. “Naturist.” If he had said “Naturist” up front, I’m thinking it would have too deadly a giveaway as to spoil the joke.

Although, maybe the greeter could have said “naturist” without loss of any effect.

Yikes!

Is that a pitchfork or are you happy to see me?

Ok, Greg, this settles it… I STILL want to find out that Toni saved that Costa Rica gift certificate, and she’ll pull it back out for their honeymoon!!!!

Looks like Greg got a little “cheeky” with this “strip”.

Look, kids. Just have a nice church wedding or check into using the local city park.

No, IRL Riker married Laura from General Hospital. Sorry, Luke….

actually IN REAL LIFE Riker married General Hospital’s Laura

“Censored”

(“I Nude This Was A Bad Idea!”:) Good one! – (“Is This Strip Necessary?”:) Do you really want to leave that keg of gunpowder out, so close to the fireworks shack?

“It’s possible that Romance Ranch is next door to the nudist colony and that they are not one and the same, because the strip does not describe them as such.

Remember, the guy asked, “Y’all here for the wedding tour, or the naturalist retreat?” (The boldfaced italics are mine.)”

^Sounds very reasonable! And logical! – But then again, there’s still evidence that points to the other thing. look closely at the letters over the building pretty close to where “Buck O’Skin” is standing. “R.R.” (for “Romance Ranch”) is on it, so it could be reasoned that his being so close in proximity to it would tie it in as being also “pretty good” evidence of this being a dual place…

-Wasn’t it a combination of drought, arsonists, and houses built in Fire Zones that caused the high intensity fires, not environmentalists.-Of course, but that wouldn’t fit with his theory very well…

I agree with you about ‘theme’ weddings, but there are apparently a lot of people who like that stuff, given the huge number of wedding planners who do only that type of wedding…-It reminds me of parents who have to have ‘theme’ birthday parties for their kids, instead of just letting the kids play game, eat cake and ice cream and just be kids…

The word is NATURIST. A naturalist is someone like Darwin or John Muir.

Brad is thinking this is a great place for the wedding ,we can all wear our birthday suits.

Drewder most not have seen Family Guy and The Simpsons.

Or, several of the prime time shows of the “Steven Bochco” era…. Hill St., NYPD Blue, ER, among others… Lots of “unblured posterior” action. ;-) It was only some time after those that the FCC started to “crack down” on “crack.” . ;-PPP Actually, just shortly before Janet Jackson’s infamous “wardrobe malfunction.”

They’re naturalist naturists

Um, Duck, roller-skating, bowling, riding horses, going to the zoo or circus are all ‘activities’.-‘Theme’ parties are designed around people wearing costumes and pretending to be someone they aren’t. At least the ones around here are. -So we have ‘pirate themed birthday parties’, where the kids dress up as if they were Captain Hook or what, and ‘Harry Potter’ parties where kids come dressed as their fav wizard, or ‘Star Trek’ parties, etcetera.-The idea of these parties doesn’t have much to do with doing something, as much as spending a lot of money on costumes, decorations and such, and pretending to be something. Like perpetual Halloween.

Here we used to have naturist restaurants and/or stores, where you could eat vegetarian food or buy ingredients like soy meal, gluten, soy beans and sprouts or yogurth ice cream. Usually the staff and customers weared clothes.

As I understand the, most nudist societies try to dampen any ardor so that that wouldn’t upset the other people. Can’t imagine one would have “Romance” in its name!*Nonetheless— thank you for this week’s silliness! They’re trying to close our business, I’ve had to send several residents to the emergency room,…. This silliness is exactly what I needed!

“You here for the wedding tour or the naturalist retreat? Cause you’re getting both at the same time.”

I actually enjoy Murder Mystery dinners, but the ones here don’t require anyone to dress as a character. We eat the meal while watching the actors (who start the play by acting as if they are just other diners). Then there’s a break where those who want to participate in solving the crime can submit their guesses, and afterwards, we all get dessert.-Oh, and usually the winner who solves the murder mystery wins a free future dinner. Since I am a reader of mysteries and I don’t have to go out and buy a costume, I do like this kind of theme party. But if I had to wear a costume and pretend to kill someone, I’d pass.

Look for the Bare Necessities, Lady Godiva, like the candy. Remember the words of Lord Godiva to his wife who said. “Alright, the horse has been home for an hour. What’s your excuse”?

what you talking about? pat would wear a big maple leaf between the legs, as pat believes in modesty

lot of guys have melons(and I am not talking Senna), thus they need three leaves and lot of adult girls are smaller tits than Yuki, Zii and Kiley, even to the point of being flat chested thus they need only one leaf

Raunchy Ranch.

“They’re getting married Tuesday, Luann’s 30th Anniversary; so obvious now that I think about it.”*RF – Brilliant! And being St Pat’s day, it’ll have to be an Irish=themed wedding, with attendants dressed as lepruchans and the priest chasing snakes out of the church first. All the guests drop a golden coin in the kettle at the door, at the end of the rainbow painted on the vestibule.

I think is likely that Tuesday will be “we have a wedding date!!!!!” day and the marriage could be end of March if Greg wants the wedding that fast, but if tomorrow they decide to do it “TJs way”, I think next week might be Quill and Luann week

Anyone notice that Toni & Brad have jackets, suggesting it’s quite cool? Wonder if the host is gonna quote George’s comment from Seinfeld…

Gotta give some ink to Toni and Brad because Gunther and Rosa got a lot of attention. It was a very good storyline, and I liked it, but its time to re-introduce a few of the other regulars. I really miss that goofy Knute and Crystal. Puddles needs some attention and “happy time”, maybe a playmate.

The term is “naturist”, not naturalist.

SPOILER ALERT…-Ok. One more silly venue, and the kids go home, to find yet another smiling snake oil salesman who asks questions.-Both T and B have the same answer, which means the dangerous snake oil guy will jump in to save (ruin) the day.-Entirely predictable. Too bad. A firehouse wedding would have been unique and lots of fun…

I think you’re jumping to conclusions…

I agree with IamJayBluE; I don’t get the message you got from that ‘toon at all. I saw two people burned out by wasting time looking at venues, and possibly vulnerable to a fast-talking friend who might offer his own alternative. But I didn’t see people ready to give up on the idea of marriage just because they didn’t find a great place for the ceremony.

None = a service in the Roman Catholic Church formerly read or chanted at 3 PM (the ninth hour counting from sunrise) but now somewhat earlier ……….so they could be saying they will do it at 3 PM in a catholic church ;)

Oh. Ok. Never mind….

and that guy if they had stayed would have said “and the music will be jump for my love”

Uh, Greg…I think you’re slipping a bit…just a bit… Somehow I think neither Brad nor Toni want to be full of mosquito bites on their wedding day. No, I foresee a wedding on top of a hill looking out over the Pacific Ocean as the sun slowly sinks in the western sky while the beach gathers the reflective sunrays and slowly repeats the calm surf in the bay. Oh, I can imagine Toni wearing a sari which reflects her coloring and personality. Brad is wearing clothing that reflects Toni’s choice. This is getting to be fun… ;)

I like “No Shirt, No Shoes, No Problem!” Don’t have to fuss over having a wrinkled shirt, don’t have to panic over having one each of a pair of shoes which don’t match…problemos disappear! Yes? No? LOL ;)

Naturist….the word for naked outdoorsperson is naturist…

Per Lewis Grizzard:“Nude means you don’t have any clothes on; nekkid means you don’t have any clothes on and you’re up to something.”

maybe, But I think they were surprised by the flagpole! however, Tahiti is still a more proper locale for an exotic, naked wedding.

God made us all naked. Some feel more comfortable with out clothes than with. Just like you feel more comfortable with your clothes on than naked..before eve ate the Apple there was no need for clothes. So just step back and think how would you feel if all the world was nude and only certain parts that allowed clothes..you would want to go with a community that shared your interest.
