Return to the Palace with me…

The Panther Palace, that is. West Costa Mesa’s sexiest sex club for sex, home of swingers from all of central coastal Orange County, where the affable Gordy runs the show. I think I’ve mentioned the place before. It’s locally notorious, because this is generally a very unsexy part of the world. No worries, there’s no titillation to be found chez Gordy.

Please note the least sexy sex swing ever, the overstuffed video room, and the art-filled front room.

Some sample quotes from the horrified Internet Residents to whom I introduced this place tonight:

TorgoTen: “This is my drawing of where the aliens/CIA took us for the ‘poontang rendition’.”

eyeteeth: I can’t stop looking at it. It is seriously the least arousing thing I have ever seen.

fimmtiu: If you’re running a sex club and you can’t afford leather accoutrements, you’re in the wrong business.

WilliamLadislaw: I rigged up sexier digs for my old Pentium II web server.

eclipsetuliphead: are those dirty tube socks??

DRUGS part 2

I forgot to mention the really funny part about this drug. It’s called Adderall, and the package with the magic card on it noted that I was joining the ADDERALL ACHIEVERS!! Which of course reminded me of the Coffee Achievers ads from the 80s.

But the best part was that the box contained not only an infotational booklet about being an Adderall Achiever and how this drug was going to fix my life, but an Adderall Achievers FRIDGE MAGNET! The doctor didn’t believe me at first about this. “They put a what in there?”

So, even if this stuff doesn’t do jack for me I still get a fridge magnet. If things go well, it’ll go next to the Zeppelin Bread one. If poorly, it goes in the section of the fridge full of failed dot com fridge magnets.

DRUG CRAZED CRAZY GUY ON CRAZY DRUGS FOR HIS CRAZINESS

I got my first ever prescription for a controlled substance today. It was kind of neat looking at all the crazy security features on the prescription pad. It was a sample but they can’t have samples of controlled substances, so the doctor gave me a magic card. On the card is a phone number which I called. After punching in various numbers I was told the card was “activated” and I went to the pharmacy and gave it to them with my super secure prescription, and then I got my drugs for free.

It’s a stimulant that’s supposed to help with my ADD issues. Apparently the main drug abuse problem with this stuff isn’t tweakers, but college kids studying.

Patio maniac #32352: the 30something counselor guy with the old laptop and the staring eyes.

Tonight on the patio we were BSing with Angel and she pointed out this guy whose name I don’t know, but who has been at D’s constantly for years. All I know about him is that he’s some kind of government psychiatric worker. She said he had been constantly staring at her for three years. (Angel is 19.)

Admittedly Angel is not only pretty, but the kind of pretty that guys stare at. She’s aware of this and a pleasant tolerant sort of person so she doesn’t sweat it usually.

But, the whole three years of staring thing was bad. He only had spoken to her once, not there but at a random gas station encounter, and he asked her out and she said no.

My only observation about the guy is that he rarely spoke and is pretty tightly wrapped, and occasionally does peculiar things, like recently when he sprinted after some pyramid scheme dorks who were selling tooth whitener in order to make sure to get their sales pitch before they left. Anyway.

After about 20 minutes of intense staring, he came over and made small talk with her tonight, not acknowledging any of the other friends of hers sitting at the table. I was just about to over-effusively introduce myself when he finally left.

Counselor/stalker guy had a girlfriend for about a week recently and they were all cuddly, but I haven’t seen her for a couple weeks. Hope she’s not in the crawl space.
