Soooo, I shouldn't linger absolutely nude in the doorway to the backyard while I let the dogs out for their pre-bedtime squirt. I'll be goddamned if I tell my wife about this. She'll just start up with that "I told you so" crap again.

I look forward to turning the tables and being the one to call the cops when I am peeping through my neighbors' windows tonight.

That is excellent. And beats the hell out of my "Tour Bus Parked Outside of My Law School with Every Single Above-Seat TeeVee Playing Porno" story.

You can't get arrested for gawking but your face might get stuck that way.

I do have a lifting fetish, but that might be trumped by kids and/or cargo pants.

I was walking to a party in Washington Heights one evening (so, not that late) and saw a couple totally goin' at it in front of their kitchen window. Which was DIRECTLY across the street from the subway entrance! I just figured it would make for a great anecdote.

I once saw in Montreal, when I was out early one Sunday to meet my friends for a climbing trip down to the 'dacks, this guy standing stark naked in front of an open window and pissing in a huge arc, down 3 storeys onto Parc Avenue. Luckily I was on the other side of the street. It never actually occurred to me that this might be obscene or illegal, just a little weird.

Well, the sign on the path saying free twinkies with an arrow pointing to his kitchen window is damning.

This woman should be arrested for trespassing, attempted burglary, gawking, reverse-tom-peeping and being a gigantic asshole.

At first I thought he was kinda hot, but then the two phrases "his roommates" and "father of a five-year-old" made me pass.

What were they doing trespassing at 5:30 am in the first place?

So wait. This crazy lady is cutting through his lawn, and peeping in his window? And he's the one that gets arrested?? He'd probably have to register as a sex offender if he were convicted, too, wouldn't he? Suuuuuuuuucks.

This actually happens quite often. Early morning wood and open blinds are a dangerous combination. I even had a friend (no really, not me, a friend) got charged with indecent exposure to a minor after he woke up in the buff on a couch and stood up in front of a bay window on a school day at bus time. So my point is that I just added todger to my lexicon. Thanks Balk.
