Lap of Luxury
New York Times ^ | October 25, 2005 | ELISABETH EAVES

IT'S happened again. Another innocent man who just wanted a few lap dances claims to have been victimized by an exclusive New York strip club, Scores.

This time it's an executive from Missouri named Robert McCormick, who, treating himself and friends, ran up a $241,000 bill at Scores on his corporate American Express card two years ago. American Express is now suing him for refusing to pay up. Several other unhappy customers have also sued Scores over large bills.

When I worked in a Seattle peep show, I had a customer who told me his name was Excalibur and quietly slipped me his poetry.

This could be the greatest line ever.  The mind picture of some guy in a full suit of armor, sitting in a booth in a peep show, silently slipping his poems to a stripper while simultaneously feeding quarters in the slot to keep the divider down is just too good not to share.

A reasonably priced lap dance is not a right.

Ooooo... the emanations and penumbras crowd isn't gonna like this!

Short stanzas, no doubt

"the plaintiff's justification is simply that he was drunk when he signed his bills."


Do we excuse people (who aren't named Kennedy) that drive while drunk or kill while drunk? Why should we excuse people who spend money while drunk?

The charge for a face dance must be horrendous.

Scores is run by the mob. You would be a fool to go there.

The minute you walked in the joint,
I could see you were a man of
distinction,
A real big spender,
good looking, so refined,
so wouldn't you like to know
what's going on in my mind,


Billy Joel says:

Well you went uptown riding in your limousine
In your fine Park Avenue clothes
You had the Dom Perignon in your hand
And the spoon up your nose
And when you wake up in the morning
With your head on fire
And your eyes too bloody to see
Go on and cry in your coffee
But don't come bitchin' to me

So, gentlemen, pay the bill. A reasonably priced lap dance is not a right.

Sir, here are you $241,000 singles. Is there anything else I can help you with?

I went to Scores a little over ten years ago and it was an overpriced dive.They charged over ten dollars for a bottle of Budweiser that wasn't even ice cold.This guy must have splurged on the private jacuzzi lap dances that can cost thousands of dollars.I'm not a big fan of strip clubs but this place was by far the worst I ever experienced.You feel like you are being sized up for a shakedown the whole time you are there.

Mrs. McCormick: "Um... Robert? What's this charge for $241,000 at a ... 'Scores'"?

Right?  I pray to God Mrs. Eagle doesn't figure out what a "relaxation center" is.

I was at a strip club in Orlando about 10 years ago that had a $20 fee on the ATM machine! Those guys missed no opportunity to separate one from their money.

From their Web Site - A statement from the CFO re: Stock Price:

"To my mind, SAVVIS has been undervalued compared to its peers, but the company is not widely known, and its capital structure is more complex than some of its peers’."

Got news for this dweeb - It is much better known this week than last. Complex capital structure? LMAO

Mr. Eagle: 'Relaxation center... you know... kaballah - it was just a phase - what time is confession?'
