The Finch Formerly Known As Gold

Building for the future

We will entertain no jokes about graduation gowns:

The [American Association for Nude Recreation - Southwest Region] awards up to 2 (two) $1,500 scholarships each year. The awards are based on merit alone. No consideration is given to race, creed, sex, religion, or financial need.

Criteria:

  • Applicant and/or parent/guardian must have been an AANR-SW member for the last two years.
  • Applicant must be between the ages of 17 and 25.
  • Applicant must be a high school senior, or already enrolled in a college, technical or vocational institution.

I looked at the application form, and there's an essay question at the very end: "Write a 250 word essay listing your goals in life, future plans, chosen profession, and explain how social nudism has affected your life."

I suppose the only thing truly remarkable about this is that I was surprised to find it.

The Southwest Region includes the four states with ZIP codes beginning with 7, although there are no AANR member clubs in Arkansas, due to legal constraints.

What, no Viagra-blogging today? No Maureen Dowd wherefore art thou (you Pulitzer-sucking bitch)? No I'm so lonesome I could cry? Yer slippin'.

I come here for ANGST, man. Don't make me examine my own soul, the maid hasn't been in for ages.

I assure you, I have no compelling urge to see Maureen Dowd in her birthday suit.

Exactly how much of a fib this is, I leave as an exercise for the student.
