While you were home praying for a cure for the fifth of Jameson you housed on New Year's Eve, 800 bikini-clad plungers were out freezin' their tattooed rumps off during the annual 2010 Coney Island Polar Bear Plunge. Grandpappys and youngsters alike busted out their speedos and dinosaur floatees for a dip into the frosty waters of Coney Island in an effort to raise money for Camp Sunshine. We couldn't help but send our photographer into the icy waves to join them. Check out the photos below.
