Trends... Does anyone recall the Streaking craze from early 70's?

Question

I can remember it, and that was an odd time to say the least! If I remember it right, it started out in some college's thoughout the country, and then it escalated to people out in the neighborhood, running through a store, or a bingo hall full of older women playing bingo! I know that my mother was at one bingo hall one older woman tried to GRAB the young guy(you know where!) and the guy escaped without any harm! Come on people who are in there 40's surely remember it! Let me hear your particular story :P

Answer 1

Oh yeah! I can still remember the song by Ray Stevens, "The Streak" that really popularized that! "Don't look Ethel!" And I am ashamed to admit this, but YOURS TRULY actually did my OWN "streak"...around the block in the EARLY morning in my neighborhood, wearing only my "sneaks" and a "ski mask" type hat so as NOT to be recognized! I was pretty scared, but I managed to actually DO IT without getting caught! I shudder to think how THAT would have gone down! I'm sure my mom would have LOVED that...NOT!!! What can I say? I WAS crazy!!!
