An FD Christmas


I love life, I love living it, I love talking about it and I love being part of it, I love throwing singles in the air but more than anything I love feeling loved.

If you remember by review of the movie The Hangover from a few weeks ago, you will remember that one of the complaints I had was that I didn't think the crew of friends was very realistic. The one guy’s too cool, the other guy was too dorky and the fat guy too weird.

A regular TOR reader made the observation that this hangover crew is not that different than my own bunch of high-school guys. The whole crew has a bit of a 'Revenge of the Nerds' feel to it, which I mean in the most endearing possible way as they all fight to compete for the crews biggest jock or the biggest dork. The funny thing about this is that although we all claim to not be dorks we all realize we are loveable losers.

The theme going through this collection of freaks and geeks is this sort of charming level of dorkiness but get them into the seedy underground of a good NYC strip-club and the real personalities come out. It doesn’t matter if they are the let-it-all-hang-out type, the star-trek type, the pizza in the pool type or whatever they all enjoy the same fun and enjoyment.

I’ve been to a couple of strip-clubs and honestly there are two types of guys in this world: The type who love seeing naked chicks dance for money and the kind who are secretly gay (not that there is anything wrong with that). But within each category there are levels and it basically comes down to what kind of control they want to have.


The ones who love-love strip-clubs are generally also the ones who love to be in control; now I’m not talking S&M stuff but just daily needs and wants, they want to be the driver in the car, the guy making decisions but sometimes their controlling personalities are a bit more hidden.  Now this might not something you can figure out just by looking at somebody and only comes out when they are sitting bellied-up at the FlashDancers stage with a handful of singles.

The ones who only love strip-clubs like the male camaraderie and don’t’ mind seeing a couple of naked women but don’t foam at the mouth for them.

The ones who just like strip-clubs are just lying to you

The ones who don’t like strip-clubs are the same kinds who like walking around bottomless at NYSC.
