watching does not equal doing

no, but makes for a great read:

and then one of the strippers’ routines was over and she came down off the stage and got tips from the middle-eastern men and then came over to me and held her bra open expectantly and i took my $1 out of my wallet and put it on the bar, i think the idea was to put it right in her bra but i thought “i don’t even know this woman” and she picked it up and walked away

okay now I'm lolling

strip clubs are pretty fucking weird t bh

wow.

i know this whole thing sort of feels like that scene with the prostitute in Catcher in the Rye but our conversation was much more amiable than that one

that whole entry is awesome

I like the part where he forgets the strippers name - but, NOT because she's "dehumanized" to him, he's just bad with names

i think we can all agree that the point of minimal techno is to dehumanize strippers.

also, i'm pretty sure they already opened his indie rock strip club in portland.

Portland has more strip clubs per capita than any other city in the country so I wouldn't be surprised

Cannot believe you guys don't read PRR when there are brilliant insights like these ALMOST EVERY SINGLE FUCKING DAY:

now i am thinking about when ezra sings, “you can turn your back on the bitter world!!!” and also when kurt cobain sings, “i found it hard / it’s hard to find / oh well, whatever, nevermind” but maybe it’s a double-entendre because it sounds like he’s singing, “it’s hard to find the will, whatever, nevermind…”

werent u the dude going to bat for this stuff as writing of a generation a few days ago

my first time at a strip club was with ethan and curtis

lol Clermont Lounge

i've only been to a strip club once, and only because i got stuck in seattle late at night before i turned 21. seemed like a waste of money.

I was going regularly for a while with my husband and our boyfriend, mostly because my husband was acquainted with the owner and some of the dancers. I love lapdances and like exotic dance, but I don't like the way that dancer bars are designed to suction money continually out of your pocket.

is your husband connected?

is your husband connected?

I'm assuming that you meant "Does your husband have any ties to criminal organizations?" No, the owner was the one dancer bar owner in the city who wasn't associated with organized crime. He also owned a regular bar, which he kept after getting out of the business a few years later. He died in a freak accident about ten years ago. (It really was an accident, not a hit, and he got rid of his bars after pressure from the city.) My husband met these people after a dancer had him do some refinishing work on some of her furniture, and kept going because he was lonely and needed someone to talk to. (This was before he met me and after his second wife died of cancer.)

Yup -- partly tongue in cheek, but still.

my favorite part of the strip club blog post:

i am telling you, seriously, that the strip club called Rouge Gentleman’s Club on 58th avenue in queens has an $8 dollar ATM fee. right now you are in front of your computer doing that thing where you make your hands into fists and put them in front of your eyes and wiggle them up and down like you’re cartoonishly/exaggeratedly rubbing your eyes because you’re receiving shocking information, you know what i’m talking about?

ppl kvetching abt atm fees is 1 of the things i h8 most in this world

eight bucks tho

protip: don't use an atm in a strip joint

atm fees are a huge pain in the ass? not sure why its rong to bitch abt

everybody here knows atm fees are fucking awesome, get with the program herb

atm fees are more omnipresent than the Beatles

greetings

ksh, did you faint?

we don't even know if it's him or a sock

why would "he" post on this thread?

street cred

That's him. I sent him an email a while ago about this thread and he just messaged me saying he finally posted

goosebamps

1000 word long meandering stream of consciousness post or it didnt happen

ah come on dudes, we should welcome him imo

Hey, with any luck he might hop over to ILE and start posting about his sex life or something. Think about the entertainment we might miss out on!

I mean, I'm still a bit wary and not sure it's actually him, but if it is, I for one want to encourage him to post on ILX

Welcome PRR

^^

Hoping he gets less time to write the blog, eh?

nah, I just think it'd be dope to have him around

Man I'm gonna have to start putting "n/t" at the end of my posts.

would cut into your market share, ksh

PRR, what do you think about the response you've gotten so far to your blog? Did it totally surprise you or did you have a feeling that you had a winning idea?

dangit

maybe he'll be back?

. . . if that was him

DUDE

that was him. I emailed him several weeks ago to let him/her know about the thread and invite them to the thread, and they got back to me today to let me know they posted a picture.
