The term “regular” is like Justice Potter Stewart said about “hard core pornography” I can’t define it, but I know it when I see it.

^ The first Firehouse album is quite good though…

Well she’s in way better shape than me and would probably wear me out, but I’m willing to make the sacrifice.

SirLap - I think you meant fIREHOSE not Firehouse. BIG difference there.

Most of my friends are either married or otherwise in long term relationships and out of this lifestyle at this point. If anyone knows the Allman Brothers song “No One To Run With” it’s like this is my life. There is no one left to run with anymore. When I hit the club, I go solo. Frankly, it’s something I prefer to do alone anyways. Show up when I want, leave when I want. And as Rick indicated, no loose lips to potentially blab about things I would prefer not to be common knowledge.

^^ that right there is where I could see it becoming a problem. When they make the transition from competition to the PL’s for the dancers’ attention to competition to the dancers for the customers’ attention I think both the dancers and the club have an issue with that.

^ Hysteria is not heavy metal. It's barely hard rock. Pyromania is much closer to metal, and a better album to boot IMO.

You've Got Another Thing Comin' - Judas Priest also, for basically the same reason as The Trooper. It just epitomizes heavy metal.

The Trooper - Iron Maiden. To me, no song personifies what is a heavy metal song quite as well. It's no accident that when the multi-part documentary on metal "Metal:Evolution" was done a few years ago that The Trooper was the song used in the opening credits.

It's almost inexplicable how he managed to live to 81. Keith Richards still marches on against the odds...

Anytime I'm down South, a trip to Waffle House in on the itinerary. I look forward to it. Hash browns and a pecan waffle...if only I didn't live over 500 miles away from the nearest one.

I’ve actually never been to a White Castle in my life. They have no presence in the Boston area.

There's a Wendy's right off 95 on my way back from Providence that's open until 1 a.m. That's good enough for me.

^ The mere mention of White Castle always makes me think of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbMfPGn5SWk

I'm not up for a second round nowadays. Usually I don't stick around for long afterwards. Once business is done, I'm usually on the road shortly thereafter, and looking for somewhere to eat.

I don't care enough to lie about basic stuff like my name or what I do. If I don't want to disclose or talk about something, then I just decline to talk about it rather than make something up. And I totally agree with others that have stated that they will not talk about what they've done with other dancers. That I am definitely not talking about either.

The volume at Scarlett’s alone was/is reason to never return. I’ve attended concerts that were quieter.

With the way opinions differ, I reject the premise of an objective 10 in the first place. Subjectively, no, not a ten for me.

^ he did say that it was two different trips. Still...

^ I was in 2 different fantasy super bowls, where I had a substantial lead in both. My opponent conceded in one. I don't know what's going to happen in the other, where I was over a 90% favorite when the game was suspended. We'll see, this is unprecedented territory.

^ years ago a player got hit in chest with the puck in a high school hockey game and died due to this in the Boston area. I remember it well.

I remember years ago at one of the clubs in South Florida, a Cuban dancer in the private room kept putting to her hands around my throat. I'd gently pry her hands off and then a minute later she'd have them around my throat again while telling me to "relax". I did not find it relaxing. I felt like Inigo Montoya in The Princess Bride when he said "that word you keep using, I do not think it means what you think it means." In a huge shocker, I did not do additional dances with her...

Most likely I’ll be playing poker.

As long as the driver is competent I don’t give a shit not driving. Doesn’t bother me at all.

Scrub - It will never take as long for the Lakers to rebuild as it would for just about any other team. As soon as they can free up money for a max contract, top FA stars will beat down their door because they just want to play and live in LA. They don't even really need to do anything, they just happen to have the advantage of geography.
