Oh, somewhere on I-75 a bouncer uses crowd control
Cheap sex toys are on sale and a girl wraps around a pole
And somewhere men are drinking, and gaping at girls exposed
But there is no joy in Byron - Cafe Erotica has closed.

Mighty Casey is mighty unhappy and depressed about the poem…that it ever had to be writ!

Some of the locals saw a very agitated David Corr last night banging on the front doors of Erotica & screaming:
“Open up damn it! Open the freaking doors! Dolly owes me one more lap dance!! Tell my waitress I want onion rings with my burger!! In the name of God, freedom, and the pursuit of happiness, open these doors!!

Good riddance, says I.

Do you think the liquidation sale will be handled locally or through eBay?
Hmm, Onion rings as sex toys! I don’t think I’ll bid on those; I can make them cheaper at home.

That’s ImaThinkin for you…….very perceptive and always the efficient and practical homemaker.

Real estate investors have purchased the land under Cafe Erotica, plus adjoining parcels for future retail development.
This would be a great spot for a Panera Bread restaurant or a similar bakery concept, along with perhaps a Starbucks.
Remember what the Pillsbury Doughboy used to say back in the 50’s:
“Nothing Says Lovin’………Like Something from the Oven”.

And by the way, I don’t think we’ll see a massage parlor in the new development. Many of these Asian masseuses are strict prohibitionists, and would be against locating in an area where the booze flowed freely.
As a matter of fact, back in their native countries of Laos, Cambodia and Thailand, they have a saying:
“Lips that Touch Liquor Shall Not Touch Ours”.

Cotton, you seem to know a lot about massage parlors. Hmmmm….

Ha, can you imagine:
Tired and weary, the west coast trucker pushes his rig and himself past Atlanta and down I-75S, knowing that he will soon be able to rest his tired head in the arms of Cafe Erotica’s southern hospitality. It’s been 9 months since his last load to Florida, and enticing memories of his previous visit dance before his eyes, giving him the courage to drive the last few miles. Though he doesn’t see the billboard, he does recognize the exit, and purposefully he begins down shifting, slowing his rig, moving into the exit lane; his heart beating a bit faster in anticipation…only to find a Panera Bread Co. and another Starbucks.
Cruel, Cold World….

You got me, Augustus…………..I’m speechless and laughing out loud. Can’t believe I threw you such a big, fat softball.

Guys, wake up, think corporate and get real!! Starbucks is closing 600 stores in the very near future (they got back their CEO founder that had a lick of sense). Of course there will be no Starbucks down there—Just Panera and Chik-Fil-A. And maybe a Jamba Juice.

Ima, have you been taking screenwritin’ from Anchor again? Guess I missed that workshop. I am casting Cotton in the part of the trucker if his agent goes for it. Better than Brad Pitt.

What would Mr. DUNCE have said about Cafe Erotica this morning on 940 AM if he had still been behind the mike?

A little bird tells me that Cafe Erotica was a big contributor of toys to Kids Yule Love… Wonder what kind of toys they were… Must have been a bunch of smiling kids…
16 Ima Thinkin // Jul 2, 2008 at 10:51 pm
…but, Alvin, I thought Cafe Erotica was a chick fillet.
17 Ima Thinkin // Jul 2, 2008 at 11:25 pm
per Anchor’s workshop, editing segment:
…back up, rewind …rewrite Ima’s last comment to read:
…but Alvin, I thought the only item on Cafe Erotica’s menu was chick fillet!
Now, isn’t that better? Yes, I think so.

Ima, I don’t know who you are callin’,
Alvin moved out years ago. He was convicted of excessive idiotic commentary, and luckily I bought his medallion so I could take this spot. It was packaged with a great taxi cab.

Photographer… and was your “little bird” a Roadside Hawk?
Your last comment borders on the line of questionable, to say the least. Maybe, if you think on it, the point of your pun could be expressed using a much different image? The idea of giving a child an adult sex toy to play with just isn’t funny to me.
Thanks for considering the suggestion.

Ima:
Without you on patrol, I would have to go get Alvin out of stir and set him loose on the less thoughty of our constituency. Thanks for keeping guard.
21 The Photographer // Jul 3, 2008 at 8:33 pm
How ya know they weren’t smiling?
22 The Photographer // Jul 3, 2008 at 9:34 pm
I take offense to your demeaning of a reputable establishment, Chick-fil-A Inc., whose owner has contributed enormously to the economy of Georgia and has made a massive difference in the lives of young people through his scholarship programs for his employees.
23 Ima Thinkin // Jul 4, 2008 at 12:12 am
Photographer, maybe you should consider why you would offer a predacious joke, expect us to laugh, and then take offense when we don’t? Yes, I could chalk it up to your age, but making lewd and lascivious references involving children is crossing the line… no matter how old you are. Leave them out, then we’ll laugh.
Now, let’s move on.
24 gladiator // Jul 4, 2008 at 4:31 pm
Ima, your check is in the mail. The feds signed it.

Thank God Club Strippers is still open in Byron. Long live Club Strippers and Macon’s Bikini Bar Club Sinsations on Riverside Dr.
26 The Photographer // Jul 5, 2008 at 9:02 pm
You’re a riot David!
