You left out: 1987: Withdrew from 1988 President race due to revelations of his falsification of law school record and scholarship, falsification of participation in Civil Rights Movement marches, and speech plagiarism

With discussion title's wording, not sure if question relates to any vaccine for the Chinese Coronarivus (as in, what Trump calls it) or a Chinese-developed/produced vaccine for Covid-19. If it's a vaccine developed in China or Russia, not sure what I'd do. I'm cynical of Covid-related information filtered through those governments and thus cynical of any Covid vaccine developed there regardless of quality of scientists and procedures. If vaccine were developed in countries where I trust process more (USA, Canada, Germany etc.), I'd try to be first in line if it facilitates immediate international travel - had 2 trips canceled on me this year and want to reschedule. Too bad FKK not on itinerary

->@Cashman: "I’m still undecided if - wang dang sweet poon tang - is too wordy?" Ted Nugent and fans would say no

C Word = Bad, low class Remember that tv show Inside the Actor's Studio where the host would at end of interview ask the actor what are the actor's favorite word and least favorite word and why. Jude Law said his fave word is the C Word. What a dbag. Robin Williams on the other hand said it was his least fave word.

Not an all time great, but for ridiculosity and amusement: Lance Link, Secret Chimp. A spoof on Get Smart with talking chimpanzees.

They’re just pissed you changed your handle. Weren’t you MisterWonderful?

A few mentioned Breaking Bad - outstanding show. Better Call Saul is a worthy follow up. I expect tuscler Jimmy McNulty would second The Wire. Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is well done and funny, though at 3 seasons maybe doesn’t qualify for this poll. Game of Thrones!!!

That's annoyingly weird, all of it. Never had anything like that happen to me, prob cuz I'm not a sexy female like you Eve. Plenty times I've had female PLs interact with me at rail when we're all tipping and having fun, typically alcohol induced on their end, and that's great fun especially if they're hot. When dudes interact at bar, rail, or table it's annoying more often than not (like being a bartender hosting a lonely drunk customer) but sometimes it's alright if the dude is chill.

Bummer. I was too young to see him in his prime while with Mets, but he was a stud and a legit first ballot Hall of Famer (his 98.8% yes vote was highest ever percentage at that time). 3X Cy Young winner.

+1 to Longball on brunette with EE accent (despite the frigid personas of some of them). Kryptonite. @Warrior - gagging, and @ Cashman - Yes. LOL

Will there be FRMOS? I'll pay Mamisan's initiation fee for her (him) to be issued membership card #2

->@scrubster: "bring it on.. i am so horny i could fuck a tree at this point!!" Begs the question - if you were to fuck a tree, scrubster, what species would be the object of your affection?

Haven't been denied service inside club or been kicked out, but have been denied entry. I was in one club til 2AM closing, was drunk but not shitfaced, and strolled a block to another club open til 4AM (I don't club a ton but when I do I can't get enough). The 4AM club was an ID scan place, and I hate that, so tried to buy my way through with a cash tip for no scan. I remember swaying in my inebriated state while offering a tip for no scan and flashing cash with intent to spend, he said nope we scan because this club has "integrity" - I shit you not, he said club "integrity," which was the funniest thing I'd heard all night, and I said hey I just came from your sister club down the block and they waived the scan, but still nope from door guy. So I strolled unevenly back to my hotel and crashed. Missed out on some fun, but saved some money. He woulda let me in though if I'd consented to scan but I interpreted my level of inebriation as influencing non-waiver of ID scan.

^+1 for Huntsman on Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. Definitely in my top 5 vacas. For those who haven't been, consider going in Sept for fewer/no mosquitoes and low/no crowd.

The American Bush in Salt Lake City, UT. Passed through SLC earlier this year pre-Covid. SLC clubs get justifiably slammed here, primarily for no touching and lesser for no alcohol. But for kicks I like trying out clubs in cities where have never clubbed before. Before trip, read some reviews. Tuscler jstark posted review shortly before my trip saying dancer Dani was good in private room, and Tuscler mcmeister chimed in saying Dani is best girl there. So I dropped in to check it out. Overall the club is a low energy pasties snoozefest, the hotter girls aloof with some perceived GPS, and many staring at phones or spending more time in dressing room than on floor (dressing room door is next to stage so easy to see who's going in and out). While waiting for Dani to break free, got some VIP chair dances from Scarlet, boooring, hands at side, but she was playing by house rules so understandable. Subsequently did half hour room with Dani and she was good as advertised and departed happy despite general lameness of SLC clubs. So, as FishHawk says above, only takes dancer to make a good visit. Without Dani recommendation it would've been a terrible visit and would've been spending $ on learning curve seeking out a Dani type. So thank you tuscl and reviewers. Didn't post a review before Covid hit and with the dismay of post-Covid reviews of pre-Covid trips, this is it. One odd thing about club was half the girls walking around with hoodie sweatshirts despite not being that cold inside club. And there was post-stage set tip stroll by girl which I'd never experienced before.

In NorCal, SoCal, Reno, and Portland OR, have never had girl called to stage from VIP dances or room, don't know why but assume floor guy keeps track and communicates to DJ. I don't get floor dances but guessing girl could get called to stage from that. If sitting with non-CF and intend to hit VIP but not ready yet and don't want interruption, a few times I've strolled to DJ and handed $10 or $20 to skip but only after asking her if wants to skip and knowing she'll return after stage and not get sidetracked. If sitting with CF, I don't buy off stage so she can get stage tipped and I know she's coming straight back anyway for impending VIP. But if it's uncrowded and likely low stage tippage I'll occasionally ask if she wants to be bought off and if so then I do.

Door Guy at ID scan place: $5 for waiving scan. On subsequent visits there's face recognition and they wave me through and I slip $5 again. Surprisingly door guys are most grateful tip recipients, makes me think they don't get tipped much. VIP Room Control Guy at my regular clubs: -Tip to get room time extended (with CF, not typically with girl new to me) and almost always works. -With guy I already know, tip around 20% of room cost, extension is economically beneficial (typically 10-15 min added to a 30 min room) and CFs either don't watch clock or if do watch clock have never said anything (perhaps because I tip CFs well enough, not sure). -If guy I don't know, I take him aside. Most times I just hand solid tip and state expectation is extended time, and if turns out not extended he never gets tipped again. Other times there's advance conversation about tip for extended time. -Another upside to knowing these guys is on nights CF not there, get legit intel on girls that give best dances and not BS intel pointing me to girls that in turn tip the guy. Floor Manager/Lead Bouncer: At club I intend to be regular, I watch for who that is and be friendly and tip. After a few visits has always resulted in guy saying hey don't pay cover anymore just tell the front desk girl I said to wave you through. I haven't paid cover at my regular clubs in years, though tip each visit approximates cover anyway. And sometimes the guy sends over round of drinks. Bartender/Cocktail Waitress: Always, can't think of reason not to. With bartender I've gotten to know, tipping well occasionally results in free drinks. Bathroom Troll: This is the only one mildly annoying. But hell the guy is residing in the shitter all night handing out towels, that's gotta suck.

->@Muddy: "San Francisco I thought was a cool city." San Francisco is a great city. Most important thing is to get away from the Market Street corridor (between 2nd and 6th Streets) and avoid the tourist traps of Chinatown and Pier 39. Good way to see it is on a bicycle if you don't mind some hill climbs

Worst vacations? --2 weeks in a rented motor home. Wouldn't have mattered if I'd gone someplace different than I did. That trip resulted in lifetime aversion to RV ownership. Might consider a sprinter van or something small like that later in life but that rented RV was too long and a pain in the ass to park. --Not a vacation per se, but had to stop in Dallas, TX in August for a wedding on return trip from a vacation. That was miserable. 95*+ after 9PM. Jumped in the pool thinking to cool off and the pool was high 80s (median ambient temperature). Even if Texas had negative state income tax (instead of zero) and gave me a rebate for simply residing in Dallas I never would even if had lifetime free admission to Baby Dolls. Plus I hate the Cowboys.

^Nice to have you back in the game jokeslash

->@mark94: "The only way to fix this is to replace them with business men, ideally wealthy ones who won’t take bribes from the industry they regulate." In what utopia does this exist? Nowhere on planet earth. Even the wealthy want to be wealthier. So many examples - savings and loan crisis, junk bond crisis, subprime mortgage crisis.

^But alcohol is so fun. Especially when clubbing. California bites, no alchohol in FN clubs thus a TL club guy. Thumbs up for Oregon - alcohol in FN clubs.
