One month in an airliner? Why not?

Ever have one of those trips where you feel you’ve been living on a plane for a month?

Mark Malkoff really has been.

Malkoff, 33, a comedian and filmmaker, boarded his first flight June 1 from LaGuardia in New York, where he lives, heading to Atlanta. When last heard from, he was still planning to stay on AirTran flights until Tuesday — a full month.

He claims he’s doing it to conquer his fear of flying. But the comedian and filmmaker has a history of similar stunts — he lived in an IKEA store for a week and once visited 171 Starbucks stores in 24 hours — suggesting his greatest fear might be of not being noticed.

The airline offers wireless Internet service, so Malkoff is posting updates about his trip on Twitter, Facebook, MySpace and on his blog, www.MarkOnAirTran.com. There you will find videos that show him playing a cramped game of Twister with other passengers in the aisle; his crazy dances when the plane is parked for the night, and a wacky experiment to see if the airplane bathroom will suck an entire roll of toilet paper down in one flush.

If you’ve ever thought about skinny-dipping

Nudist resorts across the country are flinging open their gates July 11 and welcoming everyone to be part of a world record for the largest simultaneous skinny-dip.

The American Association for Nude Recreation is coordinating the event at legally sanctioned nude beaches and resorts, including two in Massachusetts and three in Connecticut. (None are listed in Rhode Island.)

The Guinness World Records Association is adding a category for the largest simultaneous skinny-dip so any number of participants will set the record.

You can get the full skinny at the Association’s Web site, aanr.com.

This week’s bad trip

“Whenever the literary German dives into a sentence, that is the last you are going to see of him till he emerges on the other side of the Atlantic with his verb in his mouth.”
