Try to read the first sentence below and not turn "wanded" into a euphemism, we dare ya.

Kates said that although she flies about once a month, the only other time her bra has set off alarms in an airport was while she was being "wanded" in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. When she explained to the security agent that the wand was picking up the metal in her bra, she said, that was the end of the matter and she was allowed to go on her way.

The TSA says they have to check for bombs:

TSA spokesman Nico Melendez said Monday that he wasn't familiar with the incident. But he said in all circumstances, "we have to resolve an alarm."

That's the case for bras, artificial hips or anything with metal that sets off an alarm, he said. "Unfortunately, we can't take a passenger's word for it."

If you're a large-breasted woman, when you reach the TSA checkpoint you might want to yank your bra off and toss it in a tray. Not because TSA is demanding it, but because we'd just love to see that start happening a lot.

Sam says he received the following letter from the property manager:

Dear Resident(s),
As some of you have recently seen or heard from media outlets the property will be converting to a condominium community which includes a clothing optional pool. Contrary to some media reports the community will not be a fully clothing optional community but rather will be limited to one pool area only . . . .
This change does not affect your lease in any way . . . .
We have prepared the following questions in order to have a clear understanding of how our residents feel about the planned change. We appreciate your understanding and help in this matter.
1. Would you be opposed to a clothing optional pool?
2. Would you move if the property proceeded with the clothing optional pool immediately?
3. Would you be interested in purchasing your condo with the addition of a clothing optional pool?
. . .
We will have a drawing from all surveys received by June 30, 2008 (Monday) and one recipient shall receive $100 off of July rent.

The clothing-optional pool only story is contrary to some media reports, mainly because we reported on the original version of Eden's website, which has since changed. For example, this was the text we pasted directly from the site last week:

You're going to be very comfortable with our dress code. Our residents are welcome to shed more than their inhibitions as they enter the gates of Eden. Because when our residents come home after a busy day in the working world, they want to completely unburden themselves, shed the trappings of the outside world... and be totally free.

Since then, someone has clumsily inserted "poolside" as a qualifier before the good stuff:

You're going to be very comfortable with our poolside dress code. Our residents are welcome to shed more than their inhibitions as they enter the gates of Eden. Because when our residents come home after a busy day in the working world, they want to completely unburden themselves, shed the trappings of the outside world... and be totally free to be themselves in their poolside sanctuary.

Just to be totally clear, though, Eden has added the skeeziest FAQ ever, with questions like "Will people be allowed to get naked as soon as they enter the gate?" and "Will public sex be allowed?" Missing from the FAQ: "Will current residents who signed leases to live in a community without a sexy naked pool be allowed to break their leases now that you're adding a sexy naked pool?"

According to Sam and an article in the Tampa Bay Times, current (clothed) residents of the apartment complex were unaware of the plans, and the apartment manager didn't know what was going on either. Sam says, "I don't mind nudist colonies, I just don't want to live in one! What really bothers me the most is the company that owns the property released the information to the public (news, etc.) before they even discussed it with the residents/apt. complex management." From Eden's "Lifestyles" page:

You're going to be very comfortable with our dress code. Our residents are welcome to shed more than their inhibitions as they enter the gates of Eden. Because when our residents come home after a busy day in the working world, they want to completely unburden themselves, shed the trappings of the outside world... and be totally free.

Sam says he's spoken with the office manager, who's promised that tenants who don't want to publicly explore their sensual sides will be able to break their leases without penalty, but he's worried, as there are lots of children and teens in the community. We browsed around on Eden's website (and we strongly encourage our readers to do the same, because it's hilarious), and we were shocked to find out that even the animals are naked.

So I was at the Pittsburgh Airport, and decided to get some food at Au Bon Pain. I ordered a Milk Chug, and a Mediterranean Veggie Wrap. When I saw the receipt, I knew you guys would want to see this..somehow I
also managed to snag an order of boobs?

As a guy... I am not sure what this means... is Au Bon Pain serving more than just food these days?

Consumer Affairs has pointed out that there are many sad tales of once horny men who — after inadvertently being enrolled in an ongoing Girls Gone Wild subscription program — have all too sadly lost any predilection for watching hot school girls bouncing up and down while flashing their boobs.

In 2004, the FTC fined Mantra Films for $1.1 million for selling "negative-option" subscriptions to Girls Gone Wild videos based on one initial purchase. But since that fine, nothing seems to have changed, and lonely men — as they so often do — are finding themselves tugged into sticky ongoing financial relationships by the ends of their cocks.
