What is Bohemian Grove/Club?
A West Coast exclusive country club where, it has been said, the rich and famous of the region would gather and, among other things, run naked through the woods.
Supposedly, it’s a men-only club (or originally was), but what’s the point of running around naked if there aren’t any women doing it with you (yes, some are no doubt gay or bi, but what about the rest of us)???
Old, rich, white guys seem to like to be naked around each other for some reason.
Sounds like a place were a guy could really get ahead.
This must be true. The richest person I ever knew (white) told me how him, his dad, his grandfather, his friends, their friends would all go skinny dip on Marthas Vineyard one night every year.
Go into the men’s locker room in any country club in the US and there will always be at least one old, white dude at his locker completely nude for way longer than needed. Get close enough and he’ll even engage in an extended conversation with you without even a thought of putting on his clothes or wrapping a towel around himself. Pray to god he doesn’t decide it’s time to powder up.
Funny quotes from wikipedia:
“The Bohemian club! Did you say Bohemian club? That’s where all those rich Republicans go up and stand naked against redwood trees, right? I’ve never been to the Bohemian club but you oughta go. It’d be good for you. You’d get some fresh air.”—President Bill Clinton to a heckler
“The Bohemian Grove, that I attend from time to time—the Easterners and the others come there—but it is the most faggy goddamn thing you could ever imagine, that San Francisco crowd that goes in there; it’s just terrible! I mean I won’t shake hands with anybody from San Francisco.”—President Richard M. Nixon on the Watergate tapes
I disagree with most of his politics, but it’s hard to dislike Slick Willie.
