Florida man walking 'buck naked' in 36-degree weather claims he was doing a TikTok challenge




LAKELAND, Fla. - A Florida man claiming to be taking part in a TikTok challenge was arrested after he was caught on camera walking ‘buck-naked’ down a Polk County street, according to the sheriff’s office.

The man was captured on the driver’s Tesla cameras.

"You know what buck-naked means. He’s not even wearing any socks," Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd explained. "You can be naked and wearing socks, but buck-naked means you don’t have anything on."

The driver called the sheriff’s office.

"We asked him, ‘Are you cold?’ Not bit. What are you doing? Well, it’s a TikTok challenge. You don’t even have your cell phone. You’re really naked when you don’t have your cell phone," Judd said. ...................(more)

If he tried that here in New England this morning with snow-covered ground, 12-degree temps and a windchill of -2 F

5. When I was in college, streaking was a fad for awhile. I recall one cold February day in St. Paul

when a student streaked across the snowy campus wearing nothing but a stocking cap, a scarf and boots. I suppose he wasn't technically buck naked because he was wearing those things, but he was naked enough for the snow and the subzero cold - I don't think he could have been arrested for indecent exposure on account of the shrinkage. It's a small campus and he ran very fast, but still.

Freshmen football practice -- it was supposed to be over at 6:00 but it was raining so practice was watching the film of Saturday's game and it was over at 4:00.

So, what'r-we gonna do? "Hey, I got an idea. The girls are in the gym practicing cheerleading. Joe, you take your clothes off and take your shirt and put it over your head so's nobody knows who you are.

We'll open the gym door, you run out and scare the girls 'Eek, Willy the one-eyed worm.' We'll open the door and you run back inside the locker room."


Well, the plan started off great. Shirt over head. Check. Door open. Check. Joe runs into the gym with shirt over his hea --- FUCK!

Joe can't see where the door is because he's got a shirt over his head AND his eyes,

Joe runs around the gym, trying to find the door to the locker room, when he does a header into the bleachers and knocks himself out. Ambulance carts him away.


Principal: " I don't have the heart to even give him a detention."

Panty raids were another thing that happened in the olden days. In anticipation of one of these events, a friend of mine at another school cut up a couple of old bras and sewed a bra with three cups. When the boys arrived at the dorm yelling for underwear, she tossed the mutant bra out the window. Silence ensued...

I had a young college age girl, and boy, run butt naked in front of us. They ran inside a campus bar, and you could hear the screams and laughter across the street. Those were the days, 😂.
