Slog - Comments on Um... How Did This Happen? http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/01/um_how_did_this_happ I came home last night, emptied my pockets, and found this. I swear I wasn't drunk. I swear I didn't pick this flyer up on my own, fold it three times, and then stash it away for future reference. Should I be flattered? Did someone slip this into the back pocket of my pants when I wasn't looking? Is reverse-pick-pocketing the new help wanted ad? UPDATE: Turns out someone at The Stranger knows someone behind the flyer, and that person writes: The idea is a big gay extravagents with emo go go boys and really buff sailor types who when...

Interesting...

Apparently, sticking a flyer in a Stranger writer's pocket is a pretty good way to get it publicized.

By the time it's done, no one's drinking, the go-go boy's shift is over, and he goes home broke.

How fragile of an ego you must have to let something like that -- finding a crumpled gogo boy flyer in your pocket -- flatter you so much that you feel compelled to post about it on the Stranger's blog -- not even your personal blog! Incredible...

Back in MY day (the 30's) if you were an employee of an establishment where liquor was served, you couldn't show your nipples.

There was that place that went into the Brass Connection space there for a while (What was its name? I always called it Uncle Jackmeoffs) It had strippers, but there was no booze.
