The Return Of Thong Man?

Along the Waterfront today, Side Kick Greg, Guest Walker Tom & I spotted a middle-age man in a black thong lying face up on the beach between Independence Point and the Hagadone Corp HQ. He had a towel over his face to block out the overcast sun. I thought the towel would have been better put to use elsewhere. Greg made some crack about clean the rear thread of the thong suit. Dunno if the man was the famous Thong Man of days gone by, who won the right to show too much skin on the north shore by a 4-2 vote of the Coeur d'Alene City Council. We're talking early 1990s here. I suspect this was a different Thong Man. Mebbe a younger version. It'll be interesting to see if this one becomes a regular.
