SFØ Naked by Charlie Fish
October 7th, 2007 10:49 AMOf course, I wasn't going to let a little thing like that stop me. I did it naked so I could submit it here instead.
Don't stop reading though - there's more.
I was intending to do this for ages, but I live in a big city so it's hard to find nice big outdoor spaces where I wouldn't get arrested for running around in my birthday suit.
Eventually, I gathered up the courage and just did it in a quiet corner of a local park. There was nobody around, so I made a couple of good attempts and got a bit bolder with it. Nobody had seen me, so I thought, "Hey, wouldn't it be cool to do an Escape from the Video Camera too?"
Idiot.
I started the video rolling and ran across to the other side of the park (about three football fields). Just as I reached the other side, I saw a couple coming down the hill in front of me. Ack!
I ran back at full pelt (bloody miles). Checking over my shoulder, I could see that the couple hadn't come down into the park so they were now out of sight. Phew!
But then I looked ahead of me to see a bloody cyclist ride into the park, right next to my abandoned clothes and camera. I kept running, figuring that he'd seen the worst of it now and I had better just get dressed as soon as possible.
The cyclist did a prompt about-turn and exited the park just as I got back to my clothes.
But, worse, he was just telling his wife and two kids to hold on a moment while the crazy man got dressed again! Oh gawd!
Unfortunately, you can't see it on the video, but you can just about hear it. The exchange went something like this:
Dad: "Wait for Mum and Ben, little Billy." (Names changed to protect the innocent!)
Kid: "What?"
Dad: "Just wait."
Kid: "I'm waiting for them." (You can clearly hear this on the second video.)
(pause)
Mum: "What's up?"
Dad: "Just a sec. I'll tell you in a minute."
I was half mortified and half laughing my socks on.

The Return. You can hear how out of breath I am as I frantically pull my clothes back on - I sound like a bleedin' paedophile. At about 30 seconds in (while I was putting on my shoes) you can see Dad cycle past.

What the hell, why are you so awesome?
My God man, that first video was hilarious.
And you should come to SF. We've got nekkid people all over.
So goddamn funny... oh, it hurts. heh. heh. tears, tears. Naked is so funny.
Naked women are a work of art.
Naked men are funny.
Did someone say naked women?
Word, Villian. A funny, funny work of art...
Thanks for the belly laugh Charlie (no disparagement to your appearance intended)...
Mad props!!! Glad someone else has done this task!
How much would I love to complete this task.
If it wasnt for salt and vinegar crisps I would be proud to show my body off.
Do we actually have to be "naked" in a conventional sense. I feel naked without my camera, iPod, wallet and asthma inhaler on me.
That would be a cruddy completion.
Red-X it up baby!
One more vote and I could have been the naked senator!
It's quite an honour to get kudos from such respected players. Thanks guys!
Your ass is a senator. (Not you. . . but it's a start.)
And it is well deserved. A toast, to senator Fishass!
you did this in BRIXTON?!!?!! Dear lord you don't deserve votes you deserve a bravery award!

I don't think these San Franciscans appreciate how scary some of these tasks are to do in Brixton, you know. If we hired a parking space or spent a night on the streets we would be killed. And then beat up, raped and pissed on.
But hey, it's all part of the rich panoply of life.
Sounds like you haven't been to San Francisco...
True! That's something I must rectify one day soon.
Sounds like you haven't heard THE CLASH, ms. vixen. san francisco police are pussi.... i mean they're really nice. now oakland or l.a. cops, there's your problems.
whenever i think of that song i think of crushing and bruising. also that scene from v for vendetta when those fools from brixton come out and beat the shit out of that one guy for shooting the girl in the guy fawkes mask.
and yes, I say fuck that version by the nouvelle vagues.
i agree it is possible, even probable, that one would be pissed on during a night-tasking in the city.
Finally you get my vote. I held off because I was so upset that you beat me to doing this first! Nice ass.
"That's something I must rectify one day soon."
Unintentional?
Anyway, I forgot to vote earlier. Have a vote on me, nakedman.
congrats on having the BALLS to do this task.
no? i'll get me coat.
you are my hero... and i am so sad this task is retired.
you realize you can see a bit of fish in the second video... 0:01 to be exact...
sunshine dust?
I can't tell you how much respect I have for your total lack of self respect.
Now that is a task completion and a half
