according to the article, it did not seem to be a huge draw anyways, who gives a damn.

What's their "BOTTOMLESS DRINK"? All the ginger ale you can chug?

@6: The glass has no panties on.

Can someone explain the "Pervin A Dish" thing? I don't get - oh wait, is supposed to be like "Serving A Dish?" Is that it? I don't think I get it...

Next time you're in Portland, stop by the Acropolis strip club for "Steak n' Titties"... I swear it's the best damn steak around, and it's only 5 bucks!

(Apparently, the owner also owns a meat processing plant)

Benny: What took you guys so long?

Yeah-Yeah: Eh, Squints was pervin' a dish.

Squints: Shut up! I was not!

eah-Yeah: Yeah yeah you were! Your tongue was hangin' outta your head, and you was swoonin', 'Oh Wendy Preffercorn, my darling lover-girl, ho!'

Squints: I said "shut up!" Got a lot of things on my mind.

Are you writing a novel, lar? I want to read it.

Oh come on... do it!! Let's have the guts to change the up-tight, prudish, blue nose additude around here.

Yeah, the "Pervin a Dish" line is a reference from the classic movie, Sandlot... as timeless as the deleayed "FOR-EV-ER" or the "Yer killin' me, Smalls".

Seattle ruined this for everybody... if you go to cities like L.A. or Vegas, they have the Free Lunch Buffet at those clubs... you can see glimpses of proof in a lot of Hollywood films... they know what's up.

Now I'm going to have to go back to sneaking Animal Crackers into the Lusty Lady... DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO EAT COOKIES WHEN YOUR HANDS TASTE OF QUARTERS... OR WORSE???

One more thing-

Lindy, I feel like you hit the nail on the head with your description of the mood when walk into a strip club (full disclosure: gay man here) of the exploitative atmosphere... When I arrived at the Acropolis (on the recommendation of a friend) my instinct was to eat my steak, and get the hell out.

I assumed that because I wasn't hardwired like a straight man, these pathetic attempts at sexual interest would not sway me to hand over dollars. That is, until a truly gifted stripper came on stage; she had this uncanny ability to seem down to earth, to the point that I found myself completely under her spell.

I have a feeling broccoli girl has that same skill.

The Butthole Buffet wasn't for the type of person that scoffs at flapping booties while eating Magic Dragon take out... it was for everyone else.

Couple this with Seattle Weekly's recent smear campaign against the Frank's and I can't help but that that THE BIAS LIBERAL MEDIA has it out for the city's local strip scene.

Whether it's a tug n' rub or a grub n' hug, this is America - this Butthole Prohibition MUST END!

@16

maybe it's not bias, but the simple fact that strip clubs are putrid, thus people are more inclined to dislike them.

Well, you know how I am. I don't like my man anywhere near breasts, especially mine. Strip clubs are putrid, like my vagina.

One man's putrid is another man's penchant. The only reason prostitution is illegal is to cut down on the competition. If I dislike something... I leave it alone. Spoiling somebody else's fun based on your own discontent is SIMPLE HATRED. Hatred has started many a war in our time. Hatred has killed many good men. Hatred took away my Butthole Buffet.

Dude, are you seriously defending the Colacurcios? Whatever on earth for? They don't need a "smear campaign"; they're filthy enough on their own merits.

@18

please don't suggest that because i don't enjoy strip clubs, i don't enjoy sex.

i think the human body is a beautiful thing and the sex i have with my boyfriend is mind blowing. impying that because i don't support the exploitation of women i must be a repulive, sexless hag with a stinky crotch, is not a very good argument.

i find it to be a zesty enterprise

I don't get the cause-and-effect here.

Were there people who previously attended the buffet that stopped because of the article? Did the article actually discourage people who were otherwise truly planning on going?

I mean, there's a difference between Consumer Reports panning a vacuum, versus a guy writing a newspaper article saying, "The place was empty. Awwwkwaaaard." The cause-and-effect to the end of the lunch buffet seems off.

@1,

Say something once, why say it again?

I don't see what's so hard to see here... The Stranger publishes an article calling the Deja Vu's Free Lunch a "Butthole Buffet". Deja Vu then cuts the Buffet as that term was coined negative. Now, I can't eat my damn Lunch at the Strip Club. Pretty cut and dry. They screwed us.

This should not be under 'sex.' Deja Vu has so little to do with sex as for the label to be deliberately misleading.
