The Busby Affair
re: #5: WOW! AW, what ARE you smoking? You could definitely ace those beauty pageant quizzes :)— August 30, 2009 6:14 p.m.

C'mon, AG, I know it was lameass, but it was a pun all the same (re: "undercover") ;) Nope, not thinking of anyone in particular; just interested in fundamentalist Mormonism and polygamy--there are some fascinating books and accounts out there of the belief system and how women survive (or don't survive) it. Mr.PsychoGreaser: Your take (finances aside) seems legit, with details such as the physical pain the women go through from dancing. I respect your explanation of why they might end up doing drugs, too. It must be a very tough life indeed. "I think you meant "the rapist."" Again, I try not to prejudge adult decisions that don't harm others or the enviro, but seriously, why would you dub all psychologists with that old chestnut of an anagram? Don't you think one should get a little help after being mauled by drunken louts shift after shift? What would you propose they do for mental health? Are you suggesting that the protective shell these women build up in order to deal with the lifestyle would be threatened by the therapy? I'm asking these questions not in sarcasm nor from some feminist agenda (I don't qualify as a feminist per se) but in earnest, because I am interested in your answers, and in how much you have actually considered how these ladies survive emotionally...— August 30, 2009 6:09 p.m.

Hopelessly concerned about foundations? Nah, don't worry about it. And AG, don't worry about me going "undercover" in a strip bar. I'd rather infiltrate a Mormon compound, then do a bestselling expose :)— August 30, 2009 12:41 p.m.

re: #4: "A loser makes six fiqures a year ? Thats more than most doctors make. Thats what the adverage girl/stripper makes." investor1, this doesn't sound true, especially in this economy. Where are you getting your stat? MrPsychoGreaser, you're right. People would rather talk about the sex-related angle. Surprised? The theft angle is boring. I try not to form prejudgement about the world's oldest profession, but it is often said that women who strip have psychological issues they are trying to work out. It is also well-known that drug addiction fuels this kind of career. It would be interesting to hear stories and opinions from women in this industry, including about how much they really do make.— August 30, 2009 12:24 p.m.

I was going to say she had the right to tattoo it across her forehead, but Joe has the better fashion sense.— August 30, 2009 12:14 p.m.

That guy Zimmern is irritating--especially when he's clucking self-importantly over a plate of bug larvae. I always hope he's going to end up in a cannibal's stew pot, or get that bad fugu. Yes, I think we'd rather see Gringo's Guide to A Taste of Mexico. He could team up with Chef Rick Bayless on that mole recipe we are all waiting for...:)— August 30, 2009 12:10 p.m.

I think it was Williams, in a rare exact rhyme. You've now proven that you can indeed work with any material :)— August 30, 2009 1:18 a.m.
