Oddly Enough Blog
News, but not the serious kind
The club doesn’t have a dress code, huh?

Welcome to another edition of our popular feature, “Stuff Maybe We Should Have Mentioned in the Photo Caption, but didn’t.”
For newcomers to the blog, the concept is simple. We just show photos that seem to raise a lot of unanswered questions.
Take these pictures of “Toni,” for instance. The caption says she’s standing on the street in Toronto, “half naked to promote her private club.”
Really? Maybe I just need to get up to Toronto more often, but what the hell kind of club does Toni have? Are these stamp collectors? Origami enthusiasts?
I mean, Toni’s club may be private, but she doesn’t have anything else that is. If you want privacy, don’t stand outside with your dress down around your knees, which tends to attract the riff-raff pretty fast.
But I’ve said enough. I don’t want to jeopardize my online application to the club.

She doesn’t hide anything from her customers, that should be a good sign?
I think it’s a club for people who have occasional memory lapses – for example not remembering to stay fully clothed when out in a public place.
it’s a TSA fantasy camp…no metal detectors required. I’m betting the pat down cost extra though.
Hmm… I wonder BG, why the discriminatory treatment? The Nude Blacks wore no salmon bars on your blog, yet this Toni gets two bars. Is there a Reuters policy we’re not aware of?
Maybe,… you like rugby BG?
I know–it’s a gloves optional club.
Something is missing. Maybe some animation to make the bars shake? A little va-va-va-voom music? Some text that says, ‘click here’?
And, NO, my sister’s name is NOT Toni!
HALF(!)Naked?
(Me thinks Toni belongs in a previous OE Blog. The second pic reminds me of the punchline to an old bad joke: “Oh, BUT HER face….”)
Oh, now I know what Toni’s club is called – The Salmon Bar.
That must be her attorney standing next to her.
@Moonshine: I was thinking the same thing. Which half of Toni is not naked? Wrists and the bottoms of one’s feet do not half a body make…
@Spin – maybe Toni has REALLY big feet and hands
In answer to your question, Blog Guy, I don’t think this is a club for origami enthusiasts, for it would have to fold.
@Malt – the rugby players had advertising that had to be visable. I’m sure that’s why nothing was blocked on those photos.
Hey what gives? I had to see dude bummy bum bum but Lamar gets all MS Paint happy on some “Toni” bummy bum bum? Me thinks I shall have to have a word with good ‘ol Lamar.
I almost balked when I opened up the Blog.. cant open this kinda stuff at work, BG!
Though, I am sure the guys would want to have conferences in Toronto next..
“We just show photos that seem to raise a lot of unanswered questions.”
I was sure that the rest of that sentence was not going to be “unanswered questions” but, perhaps, “eyebrows” or something less printable.
I just figured out what Toni is saying in the second photo. She’s saying, “Happy birthday, Elvis!” http://blogs.reuters.com/oddly-enough/20 11/08/18/abe-hows-life-at-your-gettysbur g-address/
