Much better, although having been to neither it is based purely on speculation. My visits to any "establishments" ended a long time ago after two spooky visits as part of bachelor parties (being dragged there of course):

1. End up chatting with client who happened to be there.
2. End up having father and uncle, who happened to be there, buy drinks for the groom to be.

Takes a lot of co-pays to shake those memories.

Client was obviously not comfortable from the start. Then, one of the women recognized me - turns out I had represented her on a soliciting charge a few years earlier, when I was doing much different kinds of work. After she was done, she came out and sat next to me and we talked for about 45 minutes about stuff. She showed me pics of her kids, who I had met back when, and we talked about her plans, etc.

Turns out nothing turns guys off to watching strippers faster than finding out they're real people. Thankfully, GP didn't try that again.

Yeah, but you got to develop a client relationship, right?

Heh. I've used that line too. Were you able to keep a straight face?

Don't forget meeting your current SO.

I suppose that would depend on whether your SO is a patron or a performer.

So that's where I'd seen her before. I thought she looked awfully limber - uh, familiar.

Under fear of retaliation, I will remain silent on this one. [edited to remove inciteful yet witty comment]

Be sure to cross your legs when sitting on the chaise. If you don't, we can see right up your skirt.

Final word on the casting of Endora is . . . no, not board favorites Liza Minelli, Joan Collins, Lauren Bacall, Meg Ryan, Diana Rigg, or Christine Baranski. Apparently, American film has an embarrassment of riches when it comes to battle-axes. It's the more obvious choice of Shirley Maclaine. I win. Michael Caine has a role, too, but that's just Hollywood's way of saying, "Hey, dumbass, this is a movie."

I reiterate that Jim Carrey should have been Darrin, although I see the merit of Hank's preference for Crispin Glover, who needs the work. Carrey's Lemony Snicket movie is in postproduction and also has a walk-on by Cedric the Entertainer (WTF!?!).

I propose that someone be responsible for generating annotated versions of Atticus's posts for those of us who are too caffeine-deprived to keep up.

I thought that was your job, Ty.

If so, I'm in way over my head. Time to outsource.

I only post 5.95 posts per day. It just seems like more.

vs. Ty, with his 192.52 posts per day. busy beaver. however it all makes sense when you consider that he has to singlehandedly reply to every single word uttered by the troll inhabiting the politics board.

[this split infinitives thing is really quite fun!]
