Lap dance definition snarls Vikings love boat hearing

Well, the Love Boat story goes on and one and on...

I'll bet the first half hour of court was quite interesting, listening to high-paid lawyers discuss exactly what constitutes a lap dance.

I thought I'd post this story because of the potentially titillating headline. It seems sure to get some responses from the FR crowd.

Opinions or comments - anyone?

what " IS " is

Picture would help.

I never really understood why what they did was considered criminal. Are the alleged to have hired prostitutes (and if so, why would professional athletes ever have to PAY women to sleep with them?)

If it's just lap dancing and sexual touching, doesn't that happen in strip clubs around the country (not in Virginia, mind you, we don't allow that sort of thing, but other places).

I swear, these footballer guys must have the IQs of mud puddles.

Hah! The judge asked for a definition of a lap dance because he didn't know of any applying case law on the question. Now that is rich. Very rich indeed.

[Mike Bates]

FINALLY! A situation in which your expertise is necessary. :)

[Mike Bates]

My sincerest apologies, MplsSteve. The comment was intended for the Lady of Millee.

There's no basis for this suit. That the woman gyrated in front of the guy doesn't mean she can sue him.

[Lee'sGhost]

Oh, I'm sorry. You mistook me for Heath Ledger.

[Millee]

I'm flattered you think I have expertise in this area, but the only dancing I'm familiar with is square dancing. I'm quite fetching in my checkered skirt & petticoat too!

Call Gopher and Doc in as expert witnesses?

They don't have to, oddly it may be safer. Some tramp can claim they were raped or get pregnant on purpose. I suppose a prostitute could do the same however.

[confederacy of dunces]

Sheesh. I saw Vikings and thought it was about kitties.

I need a vacation.

[Old Professer]

Does it pass the Kleenex test?

“lap dances”: when a dancer straddles a seated customer and may be rubbing her body against a customer’s genitals for sexual arousal.

Culpepper: "But I was not seated"

"In da ol' days ve vould yust rape and pillage but nobdy ever sued us."

It was just like we were in a really crowded elevator, except we weren't.

Vince Young took the Wonderlic twice, with a HIGH score of 15/50.

Marcus Vick received an 11/50.
