dropoutdave 0 #1 February 12, 2004 Fantastic, buy that man a beer!!!! A serial streaker is appearing in court in the US after baring all at the Superbowl. Mark Roberts, 39, from Liverpool, streaked on to the pitch as the second half was about to begin. He managed to do an Irish jig and the Moonwalk before being clobbered by a player and carried off the field by police. Roberts is appearing at Harris County courthouse, in Houston, Texas, charged with trespassing. Roberts told last week how he ran on the pitch in Houston dressed as an American Football referee, moments before the second-half kick-off on February 1. He tugged away his "uniform", which was held together with velcro, leaving just a strategically-placed plastic American football and a baseball cap. "The guy was lining up to take the kick. He just looked totally confused," Roberts said. "I was there, naked, apart from a plastic American football over my nether regions held on with Sellotape, doing a Riverdance in the middle of the Super Bowl, and nobody was coming after me. "The two teams were looking at each other, trying to work out what was going on, so I started to Moonwalk. "Then I started doing crazy body poses - and that's when the whole of the Houston police department came chasing on the field. "I took off on the chase. One player tried to tackle me and I dodged him and a second ran into me and gave me a shoulder charge. He was huge. I spun like a top." Roberts was carried off the field by several police officers and later charged. Roberts has streaked at Wimbledon, the Grand National and on ITV's This Morning. ------------------------------------------------------ May Contain Nut traces......

dropoutdave 0 #3 February 12, 2004 I just love the fact he did the moonwalk and the players did nothing so he did a pose and they battered the hell out of him. Brilliant!!! Whilst on the subject of naked people: Ananova: A naked man who held a cardboard sign over his lower body, has been arrested after distracting motorists in Pittsburgh. The man and another individual were detained by Pennsylvania State police after a number of calls from motorists. It's not clear which of the two, who told officers they worked for the WKST-FM radio station, was carrying the sing which read: "Honk if you can see my testicles." Bobby Mason, of Philadelphia, and Clarence Day, of Detroit, were summonsed for disorderly conduct and traffic violations. They told police it was a prank, reports the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. A police spokesman said: "The men and the sign were visible to the public, including any small children that may have been in the area. The two were also causing a distraction to the motoring public." The radio station hasn't commented. ------------------------------------------------------ May Contain Nut traces......

lawrocket 3 #4 February 12, 2004 There was a dude in England who crashes those events. I remember watching the England-Aussie test match in 2001 (great match for England) (edited to add: that's cricket - yanks won't know what a test match is) and that dude walked up in full kit to take bat. I think he was also spotted in Man United uniform in their official team picture that year. There's also the American who crashes the sporting events. I think he actually helped carry Tom Landry off the field following a win at the Super Bowl. Who are those guys? My wife is hotter than your wife.
