We often see campaigns by a church to shut down strip clubs, but how often do you see the reverse?

We love strippers. Everyone in the group is constantly saying “Hey, lets go to a strip club.” Stripping women, stripping men, donkey shows, rotary club cake auctions. We don’t really care. If there’s a stage and some love, we’re there.

This article is awesome. Strippers of an Ohio strip club called The Fox Hole (The Vagina Boobie club is right down the road) protesting a church that protested them. But beyond that the article features some great narrative passages:

…The strippers, fueled by Cheetos and nicotine, are protesting a fundamentalist Christian church whose Bible-brandishing congregants have picketed the club where they work. …

…Club owner Tommy George met with the preacher and offered to call off his not-quite-nude crew from their three-month-long protest if the church responds in kind….

…There’s one gas station and a sit-down restaurant that serves country staples like mashed potatoes with gravy and Salisbury steak….

…Laura Meske — known as Lola, stage age 36 but really 42…

…Out back, letters on a bulletin board have faded away so that “No touching” now reads “ouch.” …

…”I’m not the most beautiful woman in the world,” she said. “I go out there and I try to make my money.” …

Man. That article should be voted for an Emmy. Or whatever award you give to people who write about strippers.

Okay, I’m officially upset. All of my gay friends on the west coast refuse to return my calls. Apparently they can’t be “bothered” to return a goddamn phone call or email or twittereetamabob. Because they’re dicks. Which is not a reference to them being gay, just a reference to them being assholes. Also, not a reference to them being gay, it’s just really lame that they can’t be bothered with manners.

You know what, they don’t deserve all this vitriol. They probably all met nice fellas or something. Someone not named Sky.

I’m happy for them. I’m happy for them all.

I just wish they’d call, so I’d know they were safe. I’m totally not even looking for fashion advice, either. I’m plenty fashionable. Craig on the other hand is practically the least fashionable person I’ve ever met (I’m not even qualifying it with gay). He still wears pants. Pants went out of season like last season. Everyone knows that this season is all chinos and running sarongs.

Look, I’ve got to go run and pick up some stuff. I’m having some of my socks tailored and they will totally screw me over if I’m not there on time.

Anyways, if you’re not doing anything on Saturday, you should come out to CAST Theatre on Central and catch our new show. It’s the Back to School show. It’s all themed to encourage children to want to stay in school so they don’t have to end up a bunch of comedians with degenerate characteristics. Also, if your kids don’t stay in school they’ll each legally be assigned one gay friend. You don’t want that, do you?

I was going to come on here, promote our Back to School show this Saturday at CAST Theatre with all it’s new and wonderful content and just delight you with random marketing/shilling and I decided “Hey, why not put up some content instead?”

So here.

Hey, as mentioned in previous This Weeks in Thrifies, these are from my foray into an antiques shop in Belmont. Enjoy:

Any Bitch Can Write A Book With A Title Designed to Inspire Feminist Purchasing of a Book Which - While Never Read – Will Be Used As A Personal Statement Left On A Bookshelf As Part Of Their Anti-Male Hegemony Design Scheme Which Is Not A Design Scheme (Because That’s Just A Concept Forced On Us By Men), But Thanks For Noticing Anyways

Smiling cow with lipstick flashing its udders in front of an Elton John bobblehead that actually just looks like David Letterman in drag? Check.

I worship only Arakrnesh: homely, big-tittied goddess of the cabbage patch dance.

That ends my Week in Thrift. I hope you’re happy now.

As promised, more making lemonade from lemons on THIS WEEK IN THRIFTY!

Normally, we don’t really quote scripture on this blog on account of us trying to get a hot date with Satan’s sister, but we’ll make an exception: Galatians 4:16 : “Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?”

Many people misattribute that claim to The Book of Barbershop 2:12, but that is incorrect.

Also, you should take note that this solemn picture of hope was apparently hoping to be sold with it’s companion product…

Yes, you could have the 4 off-brand car floor mats for half-price with the purchase of this patriotic, inspirational african-american hair care portrait.

 
Wow, a very old mahogany buffet for less than $800? This place is classy. How classy? Check out the label they wrote it on.

I can only assume this was a halloween costume someone wore the year they dressed up as “The Full-body Featherduster Rapist”

OH FUCK THERE’S A FIRE! THROUGH THE WICKER BARRIER TO SAFETY!

I know it’s the obvious joke, but somewhere out there is the not-improved foot warmer that destroys your feet

Hell, and there’s even more of these things coming. Check back Monday for more. That’s right. This week in Thrifty is taking a whole goddamn week to get through!
