It's been an interesting weekend. I am not quite sure how (or WHY) but I had heard as much as you all surely had, about the wonderful rare full moon that was on deck last night.
And, yet, I still spent 22 out of 24 hours yesterday thinking it was still Friday!
Yes, you can shake your head in dismay! I don't get it, either!
But that's what happens to bookworms or rammy pigs* like me.
We get all stuck in our headspace from time to time, calendars be damned.
Well, anyways, I did actually venture out from my home last night, still in "Friday" mode...and it was well after dark.
I haunted three different lady dens (i.e.: strip clubs) with two strapping gentlemen in tow, to see what I've been missing out on!
I like to go to strip clubs randomly every now and again not so much for the boobage, although, sure, boobs can be delightful for what they are....but kind of for technical, observatory reasons.....
Which, if I'm asked a banal, boorishly pedantic question or hear some general comment by friends in tow like,
"Oooh, it looks busy! The girls must be making BANK!"
I either hold my tongue or throw their head for a tailspin when I reply,
" Umm...have you seen ANY of those girls get tipped more than three bucks, aside from __________, who looks like she has her regular visiting her in the club right now? And, uh, why is the lap dance room empty?"
Yes, she's HOT as all hell.
That doesn't mean she made more than whoever is the requisite 'ugmo' in the club tonight.
You're doing what a LOT of the guys here tonight are doing to this slamming, gorgeous gal....
....LOOKING....
But did you comment on her lusciousness while pulling out at a stack of dollars or are you just 'tipping me off' to a fellow hottie, as if that actually DOES something for ME OR HER?
Whew! Where are my manners?
I am not often prone to ranting in this way, but this is, truthfully, what I either think or, per chance, SAY when an 'outsider' thinks he can make an educated insider guess as to how a particular club, girl, or TYPE of club is doing.
It's hard to keep quiet.
But usually after giving them that above speech 'just once'...well, they try and compose more meaningful thoughts before speaking on the industry in my presence.
This was surely not meant to come out all mean, so I apologize in advance if any offense is taken whatsoever.
However, I might as well put it out there, no? I promise you I'm tooooootally reeeeeally nice, like 92% of the time.
Promise!
But when something IS on my mind...it tends to come out if I have a direct, personal connection with what is being discussed or, sometimes, even mentioned!
That being said,
I enjoyed all three clubs for what they were and turned my spidey senses off for a bit so that I wouldn't spoil the evening with any off-the-cuff remarks.
A smirk, smile, and light shake of the head (no, no, my dear) is sometimes much more effective than anything else ever could be!
But, yes, I am glad I went.
I'm glad WE went.
I'm glad WE went.
And I'm glad that the three clubs were already catalogued in my mind as three of the best clubs in Los Angeles County.
AAAAAnyways!!!
I hope you love them.
I hereby present seven more of my ATF quotations:
1) "Gradually, everything that happens in the world is coming to be of interest everywhere in the world. And, gradually, thoughtful men and women everywhere are sitting in judgment upon the conduct of all nations."-Eliha Root
2) "I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod; my shadow does that much better."-Plutarch
3) "The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing."-A German Proverb
4) "The pendulum of the mind alternates between sense and nonsense, not between right and wrong."-Carl Jung
5) "Love is much like a wild rose---beautiful and calm, but willing to draw blood in its defense."-Mark Overby
6) "A small group of thoughtful people could change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."-Margaret Mead
7) "Great thoughts speak only to the thoughtful mind, but great actions speak to all mankind."-Theodore Roosevelt
Time's Up!!!!
