Well the first fishing outing of the year ended much like the last one of ‘07. Lots of beers drank, a few lures donated to the god of the pond, and zero fish caught. Oh well. The weather sucked, and the expectations were low, the important thing is getting out and trying. Staring at the wind rippled surface of a murky pond, who’s water level was near max. due to recent rains, I felt kinda like the Royals must feel every spring. Pretty well fucked. The good news is, the beer stayed cold, and delicious.

I saw my first episode of Saturday Night Live in about two years. Overall, it was as I thought it would be, shitty. However. There was one skit that may be an all-time top 10. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLbJuq1EPUE Ashton Kutcher as a strip club MC helping a paralized stripper do her routine. Since she was paralized from the waist down, he did all the work. the best part was the look on the guys in the crowds faces. Complete dismay, except for the one dude who was in to that. This was an “everyman” episode. Anybody who’s ever been to a strip club with less than stellar talent, can relate to this. That ‘not quite sure if you want to laugh or cry at the dancer on stage’ look. You kind of wonder if you’re supposed to have fun, or just walk away. Anyone who’s ever been to a strip club along route 30 knows this dillema. The ‘Wild Cherry’ in Indianapollis stands out to me. This shithole is located between the Indy motor speedway, and a trailer park. Most of the employees sell hot dogs during time trials, and then dance for nickles at night. I’m pretty certain I saw a pregnant chick stripping there. Is there anything more awkward than telling a 52 year old pregnant stripper with emphasyma to leave you alone? Of course not, that’s hillarious. Anybody who has never been to one of these joints needs to go right away. Don’t worry about the other patrons, they’re usually passed out truckers, or a dancers kids. Look for one with a gravel parking lot, or a pager store next door. Instead of the Pink or Purple neon, they’ll have a Miller High Life light up sign, that does not fully operate. You may fear your life, but you’ll laugh your ass off for weeks on end. Plus there is usually a cheap cover, and the beer is still gonna be delicious. This Buds for you shady strip clubs. I’m sure i’ve left out some other fine establishments, so let me know if there is some others I need to check out, to cheer me up on a rainy day.
