Get your priorities straight.

Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life
I usually don't read reviews of clubs I don't intend on visiting in the near future, but I was bored so I looked at the reviews for the Spearmint Rhino, the #1 rated Vegas club.
The reviewer wrote, "sat in Bottle Service area which offers a bit more privacy amongst the general seating area. Bottle service was $400"
Whoa....stop right there. Now mind you, I ain't cheap. If I had a nickel for every dollar I've spent in strip clubs I'd be a rich man. But I don't waste it on booze. I spend it on dances...er, at least that's what she calls it. Now I guessing, when topless clubs began back it the 60's, it was a way for bar owners to attract customers to come into the club and buy drinks. Now, I think things have changed. Going to see strippers is the objective and drinking is secondary. Now I don't care if you want to drink a few beers when you're there, but spending this kind of dough on liquor is crazy talk to me. I guess we all have different priorities.

but yeah motorhead, i agree with every word you said.
/nerd
I was just kidding about being paid; fuck, I'll lecture you for free just because I like to talk about it, haha.
Throw in existentialism and you've got a deal.
"For $400, I'll give you a lesson on Marxism and the rise of fascism"
^^
we're already getting that for free from our government.
And troop, BAM! is all I have to say to your post.
FD, I completely agree with you that conversation is a lost art a lot of strippers don't seem to have any inclination in perfecting. Now I'm not a complete idiot and realize most if not all is stripper shit, but it is so much more enjoyable to have some conversation and flirting and feel some kind of connection (even if it is totally fake) than dealing with 'robots.'
@bear2k: The FairTax is interesting but a little vague, kind of like Paul Ryan's economic plan. :D
FD -- I'll talk history with you any day.
Mjx - the FairTax is more of an idea that removes all deductions by charging everyone a tax on spending, not income. Also, it has a "prebate" that eliminates the estimated tax on necessities based only on household size. Tjis allows poorer people to not be charged the tax on basic living. Plus, it removes all payroll taxes (social security, etc.) so everyone would take home alloftheir check (minus state taxes, if your state has an income tax).
As for vegas, it is so commonplace to be coming home and saying that they lost X Dollars at the tables, so there is a built in excuse as to where the money went. I bet a great deal of the money 'lost at the tables' was actually spent on sexual recreation of one form or another.

F_D - With the advent of Marxist Leninism, you can argue that Marxism and Fascism are two sides of the same coin. That's because both are variants of a broader philosophy affected by political and economic events and butressed by certain technological advances. I'd love to talk to you about that.
