Naked woman climbs downtown Portland flagpole |
2014-08-22 |
[KOMONEWS] Police say they've sent a 34-year-old woman to the hospital for a mental evaluation after she made a naked flagpole climb on the roof of a downtown Portland office building. Police said she stripped about midnight Wednesday, hauled down the flag and then wrapped herself in it, brandishing a lighter and fire extinguisher. Then, officers said, she began throwing construction glue from the building, listed as having 12 floors. Several vehicles were damaged. |

#3 One thing overlooked in all this, who will be the poor slob directed to wash the flagpole after her naked stunt? |

#1 In an era without television and radio, people often looked for means of entertainment outside of the home. The Roaring Twenties saw an odd but not new spectacle of “flagpole sitting”. Pole sitting is the act of sitting on a pole, typically a flagpole, for as long as possible. Sometimes a small platform is placed at the top of the pole but often the pole sitter rests upon the pole unassisted. Pole-sitting is related to the ancient discipline of Stylitism, or column-sitting. Famous column-sitters include St Simeon Stylites the Elder (c. 388-459) of Antioch (now Turkey) who sat on a column for 30 years. Stylitism was often a religious or meditative experience for the sitters. Link She sez she's meditating and refuses to watch teevee. She must be crazy. Take her away Sidney. |
