I'm a bad one to ask, because it doesn't take long for me to fall in love with a stripper. Then I would give my life for her, but not disturb the universe for her.

A label for my boyfriend's garage band so I don't have to keep supporting all of them.

I haven't been to Dream Girls for quite a while...It's a nice club with pretty women, but nothing spectacular. Just a variant of the Deja Vu juice bar. It shares one attribute with La Boheme in Denver....one of the few clubs where a streetcar stops at the door.

Actually, they are all sweet and innocent, with hearts of gold beneath their scanty garb.

At least she spoke English.

There is very little stage tipping in Canadian strip clubs. Joe Canuck and Pierre Bonhomme are not going to put a $5 bill in a garter, and there is thus much more pressure for table dances and lap dances. However, when I go, I take plenty of Yankee dollars, even though they are only worth about 90c Canadian. And I do see people leaving $5 bills on stage after the dancer finishes her set.

The 21st amendment trumps the first. Clubs which have liquor sales are subject to pure state jurisdiction. The case, LaRue v. California, stated that you may have a right to doff your duds in public, but no right to sell booze while you are doing it.

I guess you are referring to Ladies en Confidante and another which name escapes me further in the North Side. These "encounter studios" operate more or less like massage parlors, but the gimmick is that they are simply offering a private dance. They are pretty aware of what the cops seek and my guess is that they avoid attention. From my time in CO I know the prostitution laws are pretty standard, the quid pro quo, when sexual favors are specified along with a price. It is legal to give it away but not to sell it.

Some never fail lines: Do you come here often? What's your sign? What's a nice girl like you doing in a place like this? I have a great and good friend who is a producer.

Can't believe this happened in Connecticut, the Land of Steady Habits.

The problem is that trade dress is only supposed to be functional elements. (McDonald's Golden Arches aren't functional unless they actually hold up the roof). In other cases, Hooters has stressed the importance of the girls' costumes to the Hooters Experience, which makes them functional. They lost a case like this to Ker's Wing House, a couple of years back in the 11th Circuit. You can't have it both ways.

First the $1 was replaced by the loonie, and then the $2 by the toonie. And that was the end of stage tipping in Canada. Joe Canuck is not inclined to reach out and proffer a fiver. (That's $5.50 in Yankee money.)

I have the blahs because for the first time in decades I am living in a town with no strip clubs. Furthermore, even if there were one next door, I don't have the cash, having spent most of my sustenance on cat food. Beware retirement, Art!!!

Your experience is yours, and the individual stripper's, alone. This isn't a competitive sport like a ball game. I usually go alone and so do most people. The exception would be with a Designated Driver if you are drinking.

VCG has come a long way since they were snowballing other clubs throughout Denver. When I hear Mr. Ocello say this stuff with a straight face, I realize that the revolution has surely come and gone.

I'm interested and pleased that they actually pay the girls to strip in Toronto. In the USA, they pay to play.

I return to a stripper I can talk to, and usually fall in love with her.

I dunno. That seems to be Rich Man's Worries.

You can hit both Dakotas on the same trip. After seeing Mt. Rushmore, cross into North Dakota and see Teddy Roosevelt's ranch, now a National Park, and keep driving north through the International Peace Garden. Then you're in Canada, drive east to Winnipeg where there are enough strip clubs to keep you more than interested. Sorry about Alaska... I'm 70 years old and haven't been there yet.

Hit the wrong towns. Next time, patronize the Northern Gentleman's Club in Fargo. I hope you will like it.

Next to my favorite strip club in Fargo is a 711. Before the club opens you can see the girls in civilian clothes getting groceries and they are real people, not just fantasy girls in show business. Beauty is its own excuse for being.

No moose is good news

Don't you mean your "creditors" trusted you, not "debtors?"

Darned if I know. They must not like old Irish RR men.
