Shhh. Don't tell the rest of the forum. I'm getting great enjoyment out of using a reference that very few people understand.

Quite high? The Box is as of this post exactly 70% of my posting.

I got up late, and I have a lunch at which I might get to play with a rifle. Yay.

Well, I did interrupt your run in the Box. :cool:

Me neither.


Congrats on 6K!

Good morning Box.

Saturday night and the :rolleyes:'s are right.

I have a serious question for everyone in The Box (I hope I haven't asked this before). How do strip-clubs work in Europe (or any location with dollar coins and not bills)? Do the girls wear change-belts like at the arcade?

This is like a paradox to me. Every time I think about it (often) I give myself an ice cream headache.

I realize I'm missing some, but I am getting tired.

That is so funny and accurate too!

Assuming it happens, I will. My Rotary is going out to the Boy Scout camp we have here in the depths of the woods. Last year they broke out the .22 rifles for the Rotarians.

I haven't forgotten about the idea of a Box Rifle/Machine Gun Do in LAS...it needs to be affordable and scheduled well and I'm in.

In your favorite country in Europe, the girls neither strip nor dance. They just walk around and demand. "I show you zee bubbies, you give me Euros, ja??"

I'll already be in LAS for the 4th of July - wasn't getting buy-in for my proposed event in BNA (guns, beer, whiskey, fireworks, country music).

Sounds like an evening at home. :rolleyes:

I actually had to explain the reference to some of my fellow podcasters. Sadly, it was harder to explain then one may think.

For a second, I actually thought a real serious question was coming. But I should know better. You do raise a good question.

I had a friend once tell me of a stripper he knew who could pick up an entire stack of quarters, and not with her hands. So, perhaps the strippers there have a bit more natural talent to handle coins?

I didn't hear about it. :(

I am in awe and intimidated. Astounded and amused. Wow.

:eek:

I decided to replace it with a trip to LAS with best friend (who's traveling for the first time since the birth of his kid). The agenda is essentially the same, except blackjack, craps, fine dining, and golf were added.

Some of your co-hosts were asking and then their gears came to a halt when you tried to explain it? Did you try to work hot nuts into the analogy so Ben could process it easier?

In the book that blew the lid off of the Tailhook parties of the early 90's, the author recounts a story of a stripper that could do essentially the same party trick, but one by one with casino chips. :eek:
