OK, I'll stop.

Not to take away from the seriousness of this post and some of the follow-up comments made (especially the intelligent, informed ones by ggrlgonebad), but at 3:52 in the video, Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd says "she might have been 5 foot tall; she wasn't as big as a popcorn fart..." Had to check the transcript to see if I got that right, and yep, that's exactly what he said. Maybe it's because I don't speak FloridaMan-ese, but that's an expression I've never heard before. Here on TUSCL, maybe this phrase is what we should use to describe spinners.

Yes (as mentioned above), the Treasure Club in Greensboro NC offers limo rides, and I've done several over the years. I've also done a number of limo rides at another Greensboro club, Southside Johnny's, but they're closed now. Both offered unlimited mileage...

OP asked "Will we ever outgrow this hobby?" Obviously, you'll get a lot of different answers on this (and you already have.) Will *I* ever outgrow this hobby? I don't think I ever will. To paraphrase the OP, my obsession with getting laid is still about the same as it was when I was a teenager. And that was many, many, *many* decades ago.

RonJax2 said, "I'm pretty sure RFK Jr isn't on the ballot in any states." According to USA Today on Sept 16 (which may not be current today), Kennedy will appear on 33 different state ballots including: Alabama Alaska Arkansas California Colorado Connecticut Delaware Hawaii Idaho Illinois Indiana Iowa Kansas Kentucky Louisiana Maryland Michigan Minnesota Mississippi Montana New Jersey New Mexico Oklahoma Oregon Rhode Island South Dakota Tennessee Utah Vermont Washington Washington, D.C. West Virginia Wisconsin Obviously, the list could have changed by now, but I'm pretty sure he's still on the ballot somewhere. He tried to get his name removed from every state and failed in at least a handful of them. FWIW, I have no prediction what effect this will have on the election. My official position is "Who the fuck knows how any of this will shake out?"

I agree with all the comments posted so far. As for this from the OP: "I don't drink. (Just don't like it.) But clubs tend to have drink minimums right? What are my options there? I feel like I will look like a clown or the club won't like that I'm not buying their expensive drinks." I gave up drinking in 1992 -- not that I had a problem with it, I just didn't like it either. FYI, all I ever buy in SCs is bottled water, and nobody bats an eye. If you think about it, I *am* buying expensive drinks, since they often buy cases of cheap bottled water at about 10 cents a bottle and sell them to customers for as much as $10 (and sometimes more) -- a helluva mark-up for the club. Even though I can usually nurse one long enough not to have to buy a second if there's a two-drink minimum, it's still not much of a bargain for me. To me, it's just part of the drill of visiting a strip club, like the cost of parking, cover, VIP wrist-band, etc. But yeah, nobody thinks I'm a clown for drinking water in the club. They might think that for other reasons, but that's a discussion for a different time. 😁

I agree with shadowcat -- Chrome is your friend. That's what I use for all TUSCL functions on my laptop.

Must not be a review from a recent visit. They raised the dance prices from $25 to $30 a while ago (and from $45 to $50 behind the beads). That said, welcome to TUSCL, and thanks for taking the time to post this. Not a bad first review, but in the future, please break your report into paragraphs and put spaces between them. It would greatly improve readability.

Nice compendium of info, ggovf. For anyone unfamiliar with Atlanta (one of the South's largest metropolitan areas), separating these by location as you did is helpful. Makes sense to me. You didn't see a VIP at Strokers because they don't have any, which I see as the one drawback for that club. I've had many good (and inexpensive) dances there, but you can only go so far out on the floor here. It's all pretty open.

Nice review, shadowcat, and thanks for coming out on a Friday. It was nice hanging with TUSCL buddies whom I only get to see a few times a year. After you left, I got some floor dances and did a VIP in one of the upstairs center rooms, which was quite spacious (and lots of fun ). As it turned out, I went back on Saturday afternoon, wanting to make the most of my brief visit to Atlanta. Arrived about 2:30 (same time I had arrived on Friday), and was surprised how few cars there were in the lot and how few customers and girls were there compared to Friday. That said, there were still beautiful and enticing dancers to choose from. In short order I got a few floor dances, hit the same VIP room with a different girl, and it was fantastic. By the time I left at 3:30, the club was hopping and the upstairs was open. Yeah, I'll be back, too.

Boaz, if this review was from Thursday afternoon this week, I was there, too, and had a great time in the old VIP room and in the new one as well. (I am currently working on a review and will submit later today.) I did not run into any dancer named Sophia Thursday, but she sounds very much like the Sophia I ran into at Lucky Corner a while back. Same body description, bland dancing, and little exposure. Charges more just for dances than other girls. She is horrible about upselling for every this, that, and other thing, wants the money upfront, and barely delivers. I agree with you on the ROB alert and that Sophia is *not* characteristic of G Spot. I won't hesitate to go back, but Sophia is a no-go, ever.

There's no way to edit an existing review (even if it's yours), but you can certainly add comments later to your original review. You could also wait until after your second of two visits before posting your review of the club. Lots of TUSCLers do that.

@Maxfish, thanks for the warning. Just curious -- How many dances did *you* think you had done with her? (BTW, if dances were 3 minutes long, 36 would have been more than an hour and a half.)

I agree with everything said above. I, too, get peeved when submissions show little effort. In my ten years on TUSCL, I’ve had 300 reviews published. In writing them, I try really hard to provide helpful details – which is what I come here for. However, I’m sure my first one – submitted before I could see any reviews – was less than stellar because I had no idea what was standard. That said, I try to cut folks a little slack sometimes. When I see a brief or content-deficient submission, this is what I include with my rejection: **** Sorry, but this is TUSCL, not Yelp. Your "review" is likely to be seen as too generic to be helpful – especially to someone who has not been to this club before. Details help others decide if it’s worth a visit. When adding a review, it says “Your review will be read by other community members for approval, so please read our review guidelines.” Do that, then rewrite and resubmit with more details, especially about costs. TUSCL readers will be interested in knowing how you spent $500-$1,000. **** What really triggers my inner curmudgeon, though, is when someone submits only a few words as a review. I mean, really? When I see that, this is what I include with my rejection: **** Do the math: 3 + 4 = 5. If you think this 3-word "review" is worth posting, let alone worth 4 weeks of VIP credit on TUSCL, you are sorely mistaken. In response, here are 5 words that come to mind: You are a fucking moron. ****

I totally agree with TheeOSU about the Mom's Apple Pie cover. I remember seeing that in the record store bin when it came out, and I was just amazed that it actually made it past the record company execs. I always thought that Little Feat's "Sailin' Shoes" album cover was a bit of a play on that Mom's Apple Pie cover. Not as explicit, of course, but still... https://www.reddit.com/r/littlefeat/comments/135xj0j/hires_album_cover_art_for_little_feat_sailin/ Herb Alpert's "Whipped Cream" cover is one of the most parodied covers ever. Here are just a few examples: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghmA7u5AQwNRRAOWbzvTgJrCrbOQSw1EEQHd5y47G57yR6tMQ6KVf2vEU6evuP6i99Z2TzCgiE_eJae9X4p4xaeY0420fX5l1cyXnIr2POVfPOjTkJd3piUqQrIWs3VeKFImpXbN0r-Ns/s1600/whipped-cream-parodies.jpg

Great review, bubba267 -- well-written and informative. Thanks for taking the time to post this.

There are clubs in Fayetteville, NC, that are predominantly black / lower tier. Sparky's, for one, is open during the day. I am not sure whether any of the clubs there scan IDs. Check reviews.

^^ "Why would a blind man go to a strip club when he can't see the dancers anyway?" Well, I can think of a few reasons -- things that one might describe using abbreviations like HJ, FIV, DATY, BBBJ and CFS. You know, the usual. Just no ogling.

^^ I agree about the Supertramp song and anything by the J. Geils Band. Long Train Runnin' by the Doobie Brothers has a great harmonica solo in it. It's played by guitarist Tom Johnston, who wrote the song and sings lead.

You missed it, dude. Southside Johnny's in Greensboro was what you seem to be looking for. They finally closed for good a couple of years ago after a few sketchy events, the last of which was when six people got shot inside the club, one fatally. It was a very small club, so it would have been like shooting fish in a barrel. RIP, SSJ's, which was the one and only nude club in North Carolina. Nothing else like what you're looking for in the cities you asked about. Try Fayetteville.

Great review -- well-written and informative. Thanks for posting this. Please continue to take one for the team!

^ meant to say "might not always be to your liking..."

Great review, snowtime -- well-written and informative. Thanks for posting. I'm an infrequent visitor, but Sinsations is a favorite mid-road-trip afternoon stop for me if I'm driving down I-95. I suspect that the difference in mileage between the $30 and $50 dances is more a night-time thing, especially because it's more crowded at night. As your dancer numbers bear out, there are half as many afternoon dancers than at night. If the LD room is not crowded, I think the dancers feel freer to do more in the $30 area of the booths, espcially if you're doing more than one song. I've done both the $30 and $50 dances during the afternoon and found no appreciable difference. Of course, YMMV. To anyone unfamiliar with the JAX clubs, the other nude club in town is Doll House. It's usually very slow during the afternoon, so the selection might always be to your liking, but VHM to UHM $30 dances are readily available there as well. Just sayin'.

Decent first review on TUSCL, ChikaMika. Thanks for your contribution. Can you clarify one thing for me, though? You said dances were 3 for $60 plus $10 for the room. Then you said you did "one private dance for $80." Did you mean you did 15 min in a private room for $80 plus $40 for the house? That would make sense to me, but that's not exactly what you wrote.

Great review, shadowcat -- well-written and informative. Thanks for your continued recon missions and reports. Much appreciated.
