Naked cross-promotion
When The Sun unveiled its newest sports blog -- The Toy Department -- I admit I was a little suspicious. Were the powers that be trying to put The Schmuck Stops Here out of business? Did they think The Schmuck had gotten too big for his britches and wanted to put him in his place? I wondered what they were saying behind my back.
The Boss: My God, the guy is starting to refer to himself in the third person. We need a blog people can really identify with, not some guy who is so arrogant he's actually considering paying retail for those Tommy Bahama abominations.
The Boss's evil middle-management minion: Agreed. Do we have anyone who will agree to play golf naked?
Well, if you go to The Toy Department right now, you'll get your answer. Fellow Sun columnist Rick Maese gives a first-person account of playing golf at one of only two courses in the country that is located in a nudist colony.
Rick, of course, was nervous about competing with veteran naked golfers, so I had to give him a little pep talk.
"Don't give them that much credit,'' I told him. "They take their pants off one leg at a time just like you do."

Pete, I am sure your words of encouragement, are spreading to all new prospective members of nudist camps throughout the world.
