On The Border - Franklin, Wisconsin - Dadio academic strip club critique
This entry was posted on 6/2/2010 2:04 AM and is filed under Strip club academic critique.
Oh my fuck'n God! This past Memorial Day Weekend I had to make up my own tribute to America's many "Fallen" - I was in the Army just as "The 'Nam," came to a bitter end; and by the way, I spent the whole enlistment in then West Germany, except of course for my training in Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. So, please give me some kind of pass here...or not. Anyway, this past weekend, Wife was in Cleveland; Mother-in-law was in Lake Geneva; and of course, Dadio was up to his usual debauchery and shenanigans.
I have been meaning to get over to On The Border in Franklin, Wisconsin for a while. Every time I started heading that way, some bull shit alters my plans - you should know how it can go - married to first and still original wife for 31 years, and I work nights at a hell-job where I lift several tons of product a night - at 60 years old mind you - so some crisis is always looming on my horizon. I was actually stunned for a moment when I finally rolled into the driveway of the club on Saturday night about Eight p.m.
If you tamp down your testosterone for a moment as you park your vehicle, you might notice the building is huge. Once in the door, the cover charge will be 10 Bucks. But if you get there before 7 p.m. it will only be five Bucks. You should notice immediately that the bar is gigantic. And, the most deer-in-the-headlights element of the place - throngs of chicks are spilling out of the bar and dance floor area. My quick count had 45 girls and about 15 dudes.
The night I was there, the bartenders were dudes. Probably just as well; the bartender dudes marginally off-set the estrogen over-load. The girls will do the "tip stroll" after their stage performance so go in with a wad of One Dollar bills, or you might be tagged a schmuck. A bottle of Miller Lite will cost you the consummate strip club $5.25.
The girls will be sitting around the huge bar. There is a couple dance floors and they connect on one side of the central area of the bar. The night I was there I was so overwhelmed by the mingling dancers I did not get up to sit by the dance floor. And I have to admit I did not peak into the lap-dance room. One of the dancers told me they charge 35 Bucks a dance. However, I did noticed the dancers on the pole-dance floor where baring their portfolios rather nicely. The girls were not dancing nude when I was there; only topples. One of the girls told me a jaunt in the V.I.P room would set a guy back 305 Bucks or 355 Bucks. I can only imagine what that money will get you. Drinks are suppose to be provided with those packages. I'll never know.
This place actually has a bathroom attendant in the men's restroom. The D.J. is tucked back in the V.I.P. end of the place. You can just barely see his head peeking out. There is a pool table off to the side of the dance floor. There are two dance floors back-to-back with two poles each. The bar is a large half circle with the dance floors strategically placed on the far side.
One of the girls told me they have a noon-time buffet every day. Supposedly they have a different food special each for the noon presentation. According to the dancer, the little buffet is compliments of the five Buck cover charge. Sounds like a good scheme to get some working guys in the place during the day.
With all the pretty ladies I was able to peruse with on my visit there, I could only imagine that for a woman, a comparable experience might be something like going to a mall that has 10 women's shoe stores in a row.
I am thinking that me having been in the military, that very few of my former colleagues, either passed on or still around, will find too much fault in my version of paying respect on Memorial Day Weekend. I've been to enough somber ceremonies over the years. And, to all the thousands of women veterans (when I was in the military there weren't so many women personnel in the fray - at least in the Combat Engineers) I hope you will overlook one old fool's indiscretions and his juvenile deferral to what was cool when he was in the military almost 40 years ago.
"Ooh...Rah!" Yah, I know it is a Marine yell, but what the hell? Give an old Army guy a pass here today.
