Question of the Day [Dan Collins]

Should Memphis keep its strip clubs?

I haven’t been to a club in about 20 years, I guess, but there’s something not Memphissy about this.  Maybe the guys over at Six Meat Buffet would like to weigh in.

    There’s a weird law in Michigan that a strip club can have totally naked dancers or alcohol, but not both. Is that common?

    I doubt it, John.

    I think you can have both in Washington D.C but that’s just something I’ve heard.

    I believe you have to bring your own chianti to get a really good sniff in Ohio. Otherwise, if they’re serving booze, it’s cooter-floss.

    That’s what I’ve heard.

    alpuccino – A cursory review of the laws in IN and IL shows that in IN, no cooter shots regardless of whether or not there is booze. In IL, if booze, no cooter shots, and if BYO, it is alright. I have heard that the laws are similar in OH, KY, and TN. At least that is what I heard.

    Did you notice on the sidebard of Liz’s site that there is an article about a deer hunter getting a 27-point buck?! Lucky bastage …

    Back in the early ’90s, someone opened a place in Sacramento that featured totally nude dancers onstage, and no booze.

    If they served booze, the dancers had to keep something on — and the competition among “nude” bars was already kinda steep, apparently.

    So, it may not be common, but they were doing it that way in California.

    In California.

    Yes. In CA. And, apparently, in parts of the Greater Las Vegas, NV area as well.

    When I want to an L.A. strip club in the company of a trusted (and burly) male companion, I was treated very, very well. Naturally, we went out for a few drinks first, so I could already have my buzz on when I got there (and, what with the security, I had to leave my “personal security device” in my car).

    But a decent-looking woman always gets extra-special attention in a situation like that. Even at the bar.

    And, yeah: I did get a lap dance. Holy moly, that was nice. I kept glancing up at the muscular guy whose job was to make sure I didn’t actually touch the woman with my hands (never mind that her nipples were grazing against my lips, and my tongue did snake out a time or two). In retrospect, it occurs to me that if I had bent the rules a bit with my hands he wouldn’t have done a thing. (Except, you know: go home and have pleasant dreams.)

    I can’t speak for Memphis proper but Nashville completed a crackdown on strip clubs several years ago thanks to a Democrat legislature that decided that you aren’t allowed to be within 3 feet of naked girls. Plus they were always BYOB. None were allowed to sell alcohol.

    Regarding violence at the clubs, Pacman Jones really threw the curve off for the rest of us.
