Nervous NIMBY types will wax eloquent about "the children" and the effect of strip bars on "vibrant neighborhoods" (the word "vibrant" should be retired immediately, by the way) but it's not like every bar would become a strip bar, if we were to allow strippers. After all, we allow bay bars and sports bars (and gay sports bars!) but not every bar is a gay bar or a sports bar.

Plus, if a strip club has their liquor license to worry about, they are going to be more scrupulous about their customer's behavior and the way the dancers are treated.

And while were at it, let's have a few quiet words about porn arcades: Perhaps if were weren't so uptight about zoning, let alone such tacky things as glory holes, booth doors, and obsessing about the number of people allowed in booths, we would have less problems in our parks.

Face it: Some people are always going to need to be sneaky and furtive about sex. Other people are always going to have to pay if they want to see boobies. Let's all relax, let these folks have a good time, and let somebody make a profit on it.

Domenic is now legal critic as well as building maven.

This is not high school debate, even if the public thinks it is.

No case, no win.

I'm sure the citizens of Lake City really appreciate someone representing the state pigeonholing them like that.

Lt. Kojak, sir: I propose we call it Otters and have lean/sorta-buff dudes with a bit of scruff in bright orange jockstraps. The "t"s can be, well, fill in that thought.

Given the large numbers of inebriated dudes, orange shorty shorts and tight tee-shirts would be more than enough to get the blood flowing for 60 year old greybeards driving duellie trucks from Silverdale.

Second, I like Hooters. I like it a lot. Strip clubs are morbid places where catatonic "dancers" are on stage thinking about their MSW exams up at the U. while 60 year old greybeards gazed whistfully and imagine that they're "coming on to them". Hooters has great burgers.

Third. This is Seattle. Every Thursday should be "Go Gay Day" and be called BUNs (the U could be a butt like the OO's are...hooters) where rollerskating dudes in suspenders serve mixed drinks. And really good burgers.

Pre-emptively banning booze seems so wrong.

I like the idea of a picnic.

It's not the nachos little Billy gets that drive the concessions business there, it's his dad's beer.
