Nude Beach Etiquette as you visit the Best Nude Beaches in the World

Nude Beach Corona Beer
Nude Beach Corona Beer

The only piece of nude beach etiquette Web Watch has known was from a joke we remember some comedian said.

In essence, it had to do with the very good advice regarding being sure to apply sunscreen liberally to places that may need a little extra protection.  The punchline was when the guy at the beach had a hand full of sunscreen lotion, looked down at his junk… and realized that maybe he hadn’t quite thought through the sunscreen application process enough.

The lesson is not to ignore the importance of sunscreen, but that perhaps the sunscreen in a spray may have been a better choice.

If you decide to visit a nude beach for the first time, you will want to consider your lotion options, as well as these other TIPS FOR VISTING A NUDE BEACH:

  • Remember that Seinfeld episode about there being “no such thing as good-looking naked crouching”.  Yeah, don’t do that.
  • No staring… but if you are going to, get a good pair of sunglasses and pretend to read a book or magazine.
  • No photos. 
  • The George Costanze “shrinkage” episode.  You know the one.

Budgie Smugglers

On any of your last vacations or business trips, have you ever smuggled anything into a movie theater, concert venue, or past the TSA security onto an airplane?

We’re not talking about anything illegal, of course. Something like a sealed bottle of water or a bag of candy purchased elsewhere. Nothing inherently dangerous, but just against the general rules of what’s allowed and what’s not.

And the usual method you employ to smuggle those items is usually what?  Put them into a bag and hope nobody’s looking? Generally this will work…. but check out these WEIRDEST ITEMS SMUGGLED ONTO AN AIRPLANE to see if you would have the same guts to smuggle things in your pants:

How to Create a Haunted House, and Make Money Doing It

Haunted House Halloween Handbook Haunted House Halloween Handbook

Web Watch loves Halloween – more for the experience of visiting what could be used as a local movie set at elaborate haunted house attractions rather than the handing out of candy to neighborhood brats. Because those creative individuals who spend all year working on an immersive Halloween experience really deserve kudos for the effort they put into spending a month scaring the hell out of all their guests. One question that Web Watch wanted to figure out the answer to was HOW MUCH MONEY DO HAUNTED HOUSE ATTRACTIONS MAKE EACH YEAR? Is it a profitable business?  Using some rough math, Web Watch can guess that the following is a reasonable estimate on haunted house earnings:

NOT SO PURE MICHIGAN is a collection of those parody spots, highlighting… or low-lighting, if you will… some of the not-so-pleasant sides of visiting Michigan’s tourist destinations.
