You'd leave your husband for springing for 5 bottles of champagne and a couple of lap dances? Is the issue that he should have poured the champagne into a glass of orange juice instead of the tall glass of water next to the pole?

I bet you're just as anti-stripper as Hank is.

Hmmm... right about now I'm surfing NWA.com for direct flights to Texas.

Bullshit. If he were your husband, the only thing you would be pissed about is not being invited.

I think PJ meant that the guy's wife would divorce him over the charges, not the strip club stuff. Clearly, nobody's getting divorced over that, or half the men I know would be divorced.

You are as bad as she is with the "one size fits all" attitude. Good lord.

How do we know that he didn't get reimbursed by his employer?

It's not. I think it's a pretty normal attitude - at least among the women I know.

I was guessing about the married. And if I were her, I'd be blowing through the remaining marital assets on an appealing pool boy.

on another subject, that damn Collapse game was advertised on the page with the strip club story. Just when I was clean for a year from that addiction. I am now busy for the remainder of the afternoon. Hold my calls.

This is bad news for me as well. I am having problems concentrating and now I am reminding that I totally ROCK at Diamond Mine.

Wow. Good to know.

I think this is the kind of discussion everyone should have before getting married.

Are pool boys available year-round in the frozen north? Or are they seasonal? Is it warm enough up there yet for pools to be usable?

You think you know me sooooooo well.

I would have been on stage, silly.

Why? Why would you be pissed? Assuming that he didn't just cause the family to put another mortgage on the house, what's wrong with the situation?

a) he went to a strip club.
b) he blew too much cash at a strip club.
c) he's brought it to the public's attention that he went to a strip club.
or
d) he's brought it to the public's attention that he went to a strip club and blew too much cash at the strip club.

If that is the case, why the hell is he suing and bringing attention to all of this? It makes no sense.

Wrong. And given that virtually every guy I've ever met would be bullshit over equivalent leering by their wives (if there were any serious venues for it outside ridiculously oily chippendale's knockoffs), I can't imagine how they could whine about being held to the same standard.

When the Lutheran minister sat us down a couple of days before the wedding, our views on strippers was number six or seven on her agenda.

Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on the shaking I have at any given moment, they blocked all the games too when they put in the porn blocking software.

In related news, the fuckers who designed Zuma put in three secret levels after level 9. I did a little victory dance after finally getting past level 9 to find that I had to go through all that crap again. Fuckers.

All of 'em. Why the hell should I put up with that shit?

Each to em's own--that's just where I am on it.
