A lap dance at 'the Moon' got too hot?! Rather, probably another pastie mishap.

Arson at a Paper Moon club? CT - do you have an alibi?

In Houston, there were several SC fires (about 9-10 years ago). Being questioned about it, an arson investigator pointed out that it was found that the SC's had missing safes-it must've been an inside job. Very suddenly, the SC's fires stopped-even though no one was caught.

Lol, Sam!

Steve, I'd have to bypass Detroit to make it back to The Moon again ... such a scenario would be unlikely due to a failure to achieve 'escape velocity' once near, well, you know. So, while I am no fan of The Paper Moon, it is likely safe from me. Besides, seeing as how the DC market/tide has turned, I suspect what Dudester pitched (torching their own club to collect on insurance) a much more likely occurrence.

Finally, how could you rule out a pastie mishap???
