Commissioners heard from them all, even a soldier who just returned from his third tour of duty in Iraq. "Just so the women in Iraq didn't have to wear burkas. Now you want to cover up the women of the Cheetah, and take my rights away from me to visit the Cheetah."
Somehow, I've never thought of the military that way.
*Stands up and salutes y'all.

The ordinance commissioners are considering would ban all alcohol from the club and it would require dancers to stay at least six feet away from the customers.
NO BOOZE???That just won't do. What about lap dances??
Posted by: Siouxie | November 27, 2007 at 10:46 AM
"If you pass this ordinance where you pass the 6 foot rule and no alcohol, we're not going to have a club. You'll put 140 girls out on the streets."
So they're talking about a change of location for the girls, not occupation? At least they'd be out in the fresh air instead of a smoke filled club.

DPC, we fight for all kinds of freedoms. I certainly can't think of a better one.

"I think it's a family oriented town. With sex as a commodity, it's not family oriented."
But, isn't that how you get a family?

"I want you to think about...all the shattered dreams of other ladies working at the Cheetah."
Yeah, then they would have to "freelance"

Oops! hee hee. I'm not Kim Jong-il, really. *ahem*

Whatever you say, Ms. Kim.

it would require dancers to stay at least six feet away from the customers.
Bye-bye lap dances!
Posted by: daisymae | November 27, 2007 at 11:39 AM
What's a lap dance?
*blink blink*
Posted by: blurk | November 27, 2007 at 11:42 AM
Even here in SA cheetahs are considered endangered.

*smacks blurkie*
It's like that, but lower.

no sex in the champagne room
Posted by: chaz | November 27, 2007 at 11:59 AM
Apparently no champagne in the champagne room either...
Posted by: ellie | November 27, 2007 at 12:12 PM
No lap dance for you!
Posted by: Lap dance Nazi | November 27, 2007 at 12:29 PM
NO stoop for you!
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | November 27, 2007 at 12:33 PM
Why don't they just tax the bejeebers out of it? To pay for making the rest of the town look 'normal.'
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | November 27, 2007 at 01:13 PM
I notice they don't mention what part of town the Cheetah is in. If it's in a commercial area and not creating any problems other than ruffling the feathers of The Excessively Righteous, leave it alone!
Posted by: pogo | November 27, 2007 at 01:44 PM
Somehow, I do not think they were talking about these Cheetah Girls
But, as we all know, Cheetahs never prosper....
Posted by: PirateBoy | November 27, 2007 at 02:19 PM
Can't they just make the club BYOB.... That's the way it used to be in my hometown and all the boys would go there to play pool because it only cost $5 to get in and you could bring an ice chest with your own beer....
I might have got a job there but I could never master the stripper pole... Kept landing on my head!
Posted by: Adult Delinquent | November 27, 2007 at 02:39 PM
They wanna take away any semblance of an excuse I might have to EVER visit Florida ... Dang! I hate it when that happens ...
I wuz lookin' forward to havin' Dave or judi or Siouxie guidin' my tour of the ... um ... whut wuz the question?
Posted by: O the U(manity) | November 27, 2007 at 02:46 PM
Paper pulls story! Read all about it!

JEC666 - maybe they're adding pictures. ;)
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | November 27, 2007 at 03:04 PM
I'm sure seeing photos of the strippers won't impact your insightful opinions on whether the Cheetah gets to remain open. Youse guys are way too klassy for that.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | November 27, 2007 at 03:20 PM
Now that page has a banner ad for "Ugly Betty." Hmmmm....hope that's not foreshadowing.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | November 27, 2007 at 03:31 PM
Maybe the Cheetah will be re-opening as Deja VU (100's of beautiful girls, and three ugly ones).
Posted by: Kristie | November 27, 2007 at 03:34 PM
'100 beautiful girls'? They're lion.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | November 27, 2007 at 03:35 PM
Mot: what's SA? South America? South Africa? Sturm Abteilung? Southern Antactica (although probably not that many cheetahs there)? San Antonio? South Abilene?
Posted by: Laurie | November 27, 2007 at 03:40 PM
Good to know they have this well 'in hand' IYKWIM.
I'm ready for a new topic.
Any updates on the writer's strike or 24?
Posted by: daisymae | November 27, 2007 at 03:45 PM
doesn't the "six feet away" rule, discriminate against the near-sighted? could there be an ADA violation here?
also, do i have to crumple up my dollar bills and throw them to the strippers?
Posted by: insomniac | November 27, 2007 at 03:47 PM
Laurie - on behalf of Mott, he's in South Africa.
Posted by: pogo | November 27, 2007 at 03:54 PM
insom - just fling quarters.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | November 27, 2007 at 03:57 PM
Perhaps the writers' strike has reached this blog.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | November 27, 2007 at 04:13 PM
The 6-foot rule doesn't impact my enjoyment of lap dances. ;-]
Posted by: CJrun | November 27, 2007 at 04:19 PM
I tried to give a guy a lap dance once and he wouldn't stop screaming in agony!
Maybe I should have taken my stilettos off first.....
Posted by: Adult Delinquent | November 27, 2007 at 04:24 PM
CJrun, prolific writer of fantasy.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | November 27, 2007 at 04:29 PM
CJ.....did the kids in physEd make fun of you for being so small?
Posted by: Jazzzz | November 27, 2007 at 04:33 PM
*snicker*
Ladies, no more need for batteries, especially during all of the Holiday traveling! If you follow the Marilyn Manson-related portion, consider yourself as having been WARNED.
Posted by: CJrun | November 27, 2007 at 04:49 PM
CJ....I don't EVEN want to know..
Posted by: Jazzzz | November 27, 2007 at 04:52 PM
Wasn't there a strip club patron who ended up suing because he got slapped in the face with a dancer's boobs and "allegedly" injured?
Maybe the six-foot rule is a good idea.... (Not that my boobs would be a threat).
Posted by: Adult Delinquent | November 27, 2007 at 05:05 PM
Dave, put down the ripple and post something new! :-)
Posted by: HowIMetYourMother (& banged her) | November 27, 2007 at 05:09 PM
AD, you're just a font of lap dance injury stories. Anything you care to share with the rest of the class?
Posted by: CJrun | November 27, 2007 at 05:17 PM
While I, with my usual enthusiasm,
Was exploring in Ermintrude's busiasm,
She explained, "They're quite flat,
But think nothing of that --
You will find that my sweet sister Susiasm."
- an old one
Posted by: pogo | November 27, 2007 at 05:20 PM
You mean like bubble gum, CJ? I'm not sure if I have enough for everybody....
Posted by: Adult Delinquent | November 27, 2007 at 05:22 PM
And I'm not sure if I can chew and comment at the same time.....
Posted by: Adult Delinquent | November 27, 2007 at 05:23 PM
Thanks, CJ! Now I know what my stocking stuffer will be ;-)))
For all those road trips...
Posted by: Siouxie | November 27, 2007 at 05:52 PM
I have an idea of what their office furnishings are like . . .
Posted by: Mahatma Kane Jeeves | November 27, 2007 at 05:56 PM
Siouxie - there are better 'bunny travellers' out there. We can whipser privately in email. I'd hate to hijack the blog talking about such personal matters. ;)
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | November 27, 2007 at 05:57 PM
oopsie 'whisper', not 'whipser.' What was I thinking?
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | November 27, 2007 at 05:58 PM
*whips out her whip*
I dunno.
Posted by: Siouxie | November 27, 2007 at 06:01 PM
I love it when ya'll talk dirty....
Posted by: Adult Delinquent | November 27, 2007 at 06:06 PM
"The purple 4ins gadget is designed to fit in glove compartments."
So that's the new euphemism.
Posted by: Igloo | November 27, 2007 at 06:13 PM
Speaking of talkin' dirty, the Disney site sez that ...

Good News! Our tests show that you already have the appropriate browser and plug-ins ...
This has been your disneywithwhipsers update for today.

Posted by: CJrun | November 27, 2007 at 06:19 PM
CJ - it's better on cobblestones.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | November 27, 2007 at 07:57 PM
Cobblestones = ribbed seating
