Such a clear violation of constitutional rights...(writes on picket placard)...

Whut?

[Meanie the Blue]

Will the court appoint a pubic defender?

[BillyJoeJimBob]

Why call it Cherry Pit? I'm sure that all the patrons lost their cherries a long time ago.

Also, does someone actually live in that house? If so, ewwww.

[fivver]

I suggest the neighbors and or cops work with the newspaper to post license numbers of the cars parked out front and even pictures of the uh comings and goings.

[Hammond Rye]

What is wrong here? If a group of people want to get together to dance an old, out-of-style dance, then let them.

Hmmm, what?

Oh, that's different.

What is wrong here? If a group of people want to get together to dance an old, out-of-style danceboink their brains out, then let them.

[ellie]

Yeah, the whole situation has made for some interesting news here lately.

I suggest they send in an undercover officer to poke around and see what they can come up with.

[Meanie the Blue]

That's real undercover work, ellie.

[PhilinTexas]

uh...no dear, I haven't been to Duncanville lately

[daisymae]

ellie...are you volunteering for duty?

[wickedwitch]

i hate to have to agree with the group, but they really cause less public problems that when church is out on Sunday. If they want to get together and screw each others brains out, let them. unless they are committing parking violations or causing traffic jams, who cares? of course, i have to agree with ellie, let an undercover cop go poke around first. i'll bet they have tons of volunteers for that assignment.

[Meanie the Blue]

They shall overcome.

[tsak]

I would not jump at the chance to go undercover. Did you see the video of the man and woman running this place?

[Nurse Tammy]

*snork @ "undercover" cops*
Just what violations are they going to cite them for, pray tell?

I happen to be a frequent offender for that Nevada one, BTW.

[wickedwitch]

okay tsak, you have a real point there. but different strokes for different folks. not my thing, but they really aren't hurting anyone, especially if they wear masks.

[Not My Usual Alias]

It could be worse. It could be a pub(l)ic school.

Probably more embarassing than having the Weinermobile come to school

[SW]

"I suggest they send in an undercover officer to poke around and see what they can come up with."

And send the poker to the pokey?

[SW]

But if you take them away in handcuffs, they only like it more.

[blurk]

Somebody please 'splain to me what's wrong with a bunch of people gettin' together and sittin' around in swings?

[ellie]

daisymae, I'm with tsak here. Having seen the people involved...ewww...there is not enough alcohol and penicillin in the WORLD to make that place appealing!

[SW]

"Having seen the people involved...ewww"

Oh come on, ellie. Don't judge a schnook by its lover.

VD's only skin deep, you know.

[Siouxie]

Hmm...hokey pokey??

There's a lot of putting in and out and shaking all around going on...iykwim

[Meanie the Blue]

Ahhhh, so that's what it's all about.....

[gjd]

WW, my church gets out a 11:30. We don't cause any problems. :-) The church traffic is only a problem if you don't beat them to the Golden Corral for lunch.

[Hammond Rye]

*I put my left one in and take my left one out and wave @ Siouxie before I shake it all about!!!*

[gjd]

I also have to say, as icky, yucky, gross, and generally unpleasant as this is to consider... are these folks actually breaking any laws? And, if the new law is what is causing the problem, aren't they kind of "grandfathered" in? You can't charge someone with a crime if the act was committed before it was a crime. *shrug*

[pogo]

I think the issue here is that it seems to be a business operating in a residential neighborhood, which is a "nuisance" because the neighbors find it objectionable. They purport not to be a business by only accepting donations, but they pretty much meet the bonafides of a business.

We can argue "they aren't hurting anyone", but on the other hand I wouldn't buy a house near it, especially if I had children. Thereby they reduce property values.

The "Cherry Pit" needs to move to a location where this is not an issue.

[Nurse Tammy]

*shudder*
"grandfathered" in this context brings to mind unholy uses for walkers... *bleaches brain*

[gjd]

blurk, I guess it is the KIND of swings they are using... You know, the scary ones that need extra reinforcements in the ceiling and directions on how not to hurt yourself using it and can be conveniently put away in the closet when not in use. NTTAWWT.

[ellie *dodging around Hammie's wavy bits*]

Siouxie, I never thought of the insidious nature of the Hokey Pokey. It all seemed so innocent whilst at the skating rink...

[Siouxie]

*WAVES back @ Hammie!!!*

*hoping it's his hand he's waving*

[gjd]

It also needs to be said that The Duncanville Swingers WBAGNFA ...well, swing band.

[Mahatma Kane Jeeves]

That ain't very sanitary . . .

[Siouxie]

gjd, they're only scary if you don't use 'em correctly. um...Annie told me.

[gjd]

Sorry, Nurse T. That crossed my mind while I was saying it... blech. I'm thinking the brain bleach should be left out on the blog bar. (I'm sure there's a good tongue twister in there somehwere...)

[Mahatma Kane Jeeves]

. . . but to each his own

[orcel]

While I find it rather disgusting and defiantly would not want it in my neighborhood. I honestly cannot imagine how anyone can claim any government right to authority over the consensual goings-on inside private property.

I do however find it annoying and somewhat insulting that the swingers would claim that church attendance is a greater public nuisance, as if the swingers have some moral high ground.

[Mahatma Kane Jeeves]

. . . or someone else's

[Mahatma Kane Jeeves]

. . . or someone else's

[ellie]

Chandeliers are safer, gjd. According to Siouxie and Annie.

[Hammond Rye]

It's heartwarming to see a group of people coming together for a purpose, groping for solidarity and sticking together for a cause.

[Mahatma Kane Jeeves]

Gaah! the dreaded double-post!

[fivver]

what pogo said. rent a hotel room and make like the monkey house in the zoo, but not in a private neighborhood.

tongue twister???!

*lines up for brain bleach*

[ScottMGS]

Of course, if lowering property values was a crime then pretty much everyone in su.so.ca would be up on charges. Somebody ran them up too high and now they're going to drop like... like... dropping things.

[SW]

And booty is in the eye of the beholder, not that I'd be holdin' any of that booty.

So is that why they call it Dunkinville?

[JEC666]

I was going to ask why there was no web-site connection until I saw the video.

[Siouxie]

Hammie...*snorkewww*

*pours brain bleach & passes it around*

[blurk]

Whatever you do, don't try a double back flip, twisting, half-gainer from one of them swings over to your zebra striped bed.

I've heard.

[Siouxie]

blurk, you need extra wall padding for that.

I've heard.

[blurk]

Um...that was a 5-way post with Siouxie somewhere in the middle.
Izzat swingin'?

[Siouxie]

and a trampoline

[fivver]

CANNONBALL!

[blurk]

I keep havin' a John Anderson earwig.
Can't imagine why.

[Siouxie]

WOOHOO! havent had one of those in a while.

*wonders where that muscle groper guy is*

[ellie]

This reminds me of that group The Austin Lounge Lizards. They have a song called Swinging From Your Crystal Chandeliers. Give it a listen- very funny stuff

[Hammond Rye]

"Next in this year's Rose Bowl™ parade, we have an entry from the Duncanville Swingers, a local dance group from Texas. It seems to be an homage to Georgia O'Keefe and shows two giant pink orchids opening their petals towards each other. What do you think, Katie? Katie, why are you laughing?"

[wickedwitch]

in my area of the world, the swingers clubs get together for drinks at certain know bars on a Saturday night. Then they decided who they are going to go home with and when. however, once a month, they rent an entire wing of one of the local motels and party down. that way they don't scare the cattle or annoy their neighbors. of course, none of the maids want to clean those rooms the next day.

[blurk]

Ok...how many people have to be involved for it to be considered swingin'?

Siouxie told me to ask.

[wickedwitch]

the average group size is between 30 and 50 at the monthly get togethers. does that give you a good idea blurk?

[blurk]

Got it, ww.
Keep it under 30 and you're ok.

[ScottMGS]

Problem is, blurk, they don't usually allow single men unattended men men without a woman as a date/participant to join in all the fun. Women who come alone (NTTIAWWT) are welcome.

[ScottMGS]

Uh, Annie told me.

[blurk]

Boy, I'm learnin' a lot today.
The bloglits seem to be a wealth of information on this subject. NTTAWWT

[blurk]

And Annie better not have told you anything about this stuff or Annie's in a boatload of trouble.

[wickedwitch]

ScottMGS, you are absolutely correct. Now, since you are all to polite to ask how I know... while working my way through college, I worked as a bartender at the chose club in this area. I was always getting asked to come to one of their 'parties'. If a single guy wanted to go, he had to have a partner. If a guy could bring two women, he was stud-about-town. I still work at the same bar on an on-call basis and believe it or not, 20 years later, some of the same folks are involved.

[Nurse Tammy]

Annie, you'd better blame this on Hammie. that always seems to work.

[Mahatma Kane Jeeves]

I dunno, call me old-fashioned . . .

Hey! Who you callin' old fashioned?

[ScottMGS]

Oh, wait, maybe it was Siouxie. Or Eleanor. Uh, no wait, ww told me. Yeah. Yeah, that's the ticket.

[wickedwitch]

unless there was a slip in the space-time continuum, you are so busted ScottMGS!

[fivver]

If a guy could bring two women, he was stud-about-town.

Huh? Don't know about the rest of the blog guys, but if I could bring two women, the last thing I'd want to do is share!

[ScottMGS]

Happens all the time, ww! You'd be surprised.

[ScottMGS]

Not the space time thingy.

[ScottMGS]

Fivver, I guess you're supposed to bring the women you're tired of and find a couple more to trade in on. Either that, or both your wife and your girlfriend are sick and tired of you and need some one with bigger better, um.... qualities.

[DeskDiva]

Y'all are in rare form this mornin'!

I have that John Anderson earwig too. Guess it's a hazard of being a teen in the 80s.

May I just weigh in on this topic with...UGH. It does remind me of a friend who loved telling people that she lived behind the Pink Garter Strip-O-Rama (now defunct). But they had a bona fide parking lot.

*Waves @ Hammie!!!!*

[Wes S.]

Problem is, blurk, they don't usually allow single men unattended men men without a woman as a date/participant to join in all the fun. Women who come alone (NTTIAWWT) are welcome.

Well, damn.

(*logs onto Expedia.com to cancel flight reservations*)

[Siouxie]

Scott, I'm never telling you anything ELSE!!! sheesh!

[wickedwitch]

don't bother to book a flight, Wes S. I have been told that wherever there are interstates and 7-11's, there are swingers clubs. who knows, your neighbors could belong. ugh, now that is truly a disgusting thought.

[DeskDiva]

Now, Scott - who'd wanna trade YOU in?! :-)

[JEC666]

No single men but single women are allowed? That's discrimination. Can't I just watch? Oh, just remembered the video, forget it.

[Siouxie]

oh and blurkiepoopiehead??

Annie's swinging days are over. She's apparently found love on the blog ;-P

Blogmatch.com (we don't take no schwingers)

[fivver]

DD, reading about your friend reminded me that on Peachtree St. there's a Shakespeare dinner theater right next to an adult book store. The theater has special performances for school groups during the day and the buses park in front of the store. I've often thought that would be a great picture to show up with to a school board meeting...

[DeskDiva]

Oh, fivver. That's priceless! But it might GET pricey if they did take a photo.... ;-)

Siouxie - you won't let the guys, "Schwiiingggg!"?

[daisymae]

You guys were having a wild time at 10:17.

Snork @ fivver. Or better yet, show up with a bus of school board members.

[Siouxie]

OT-

casey has officially crossed the state line and is IN FLORIDA!! yeeeeeeeeehawwwwwwwwww!

Just 6 more hours to go and she'll be in MYJAMMIE!!!

/OT

Back to your regularly schedule swinging.

[Siouxie]

*adds a d up dere*

[fivver]

casey's gonna be in Siouxie's jammies?!
Oh! MIAMI
nevermind

[ScottMGS]

Hey, Siouxie, I hope you and casey have a grand old time.

[Annie Where-but-here]

My ears have been burning all morning. Guess that's better than other body parts, right, fivver?

blurk, you need extra wall padding for that.
I've heard.
Posted by: Siouxie | 10:19 AM on November 9, 2007
Sioux, if you've heard, then we need more wall padding.

[fivver]

Annie, I've heard penicillin can clear up that burning sensation in the 'other' body parts.

Blurk told me.

[DeskDiva]

Y'all have a ball, Siouxie. Enjoy yourselves!!!

[Hammond Rye]

*Waves @ DD!!!!*

I just went through a painfully boring conference call. Thanks to everyone for giving me something to do while I was "listening."

[DeskDiva]

Heh. Hammie, you know we're always here for your conferencing and blogging pleasure. Always happy to be serviced of service!

[Annie Where-but-here]

Fivver - that's right. I forgot he had to get that medicine for you because of the restraining order against you.

[DeskDiva]

Fivver - you like being in restraints? You never mentioned that during...*clamps mouth shut* Ooh, shiny!!

[mm]

okay, I'm taking a poll. Who here has broken at least one of Tammy's laws? I'll start by putting my hand up...

and you can't pretend you're bashful now.

[blurk]

*raises both hands a foot and...um...never mind*

[DeskDiva]

Question, mm - do we have to have broken it in the state in which it applies? ;-)

[Patrick O]

Sure got quiet in here.

[ArcticAl]

I need a place to hide out from the law too as I've broken one of NT's laws. Anyone want to go on a cross country crime spree with me?

[ellie]

mm, I'll admit it, I've broken all but one.

[Patrick O]

In Cleveland, Ohio women are not allowed to wear patent-leather shoes. Phil Proctor says that this is known as the "Peewee Herman Law".
