Who are the top dogs at 5/16ths at Derby Lane right now?

Who are the top dogs at 3/8ths?

Is the 1 post still killing them in 5/16th races?

Is the strip club Vegas Showgirls still up and running next door?

I can't answer the first two, but the third question has always been true, so I don't think that has changed. As for the last question, yes, still up and running.

The stench of Red Bull, cigarettes, and despair wafting across the parking lot from that place upon arrival is unmistakeable.

I was a big fan of OZ...it was right over next to my gym.

A few super hotties worked there. It was free admission until 7pm -- and they always had a lunch buffet out.

I'd stroll in to OZ, help myself to the free lunch buffet while I check out some boobiles on stage from my seat in the back. After my second trip to the bufffet .. I'd go up on the stage and tip a girl or two a buck, hoping she'd motorboat me.

After a few weeks of doing this ... they made a rule where addmission was still free and no one was still at the door -- but one of the dancers would come over and tell you that you had to buy one of their overpriced drinks when you come in.

Applebees out, OZ is in..................

I'm trying to figure out how hungry I'd have to be to eat a lunch buffet at a strip club. Aside from being close to death due to starvation, I don't think I could do.

I'm with you............especially if you happen to find a stray hair mixed in with the hot buffet.

This is a clean and upscale strip club ... not that it would matter in my case anyway.

What I don't get is why people would bypass the OZ buffet for overpriced joints like Hooters and The Wing House.

Hooters is like a tittybar where the chicks don't get naked and wave their gash over your food.

Brilliant.

They stay in business how, exactly? I just don't get the appeal of Hooters. Get fucl<ing naked, you stupid whore.

In Erie, "winning the Triple Crown" means having the high score in video poker at Partners, Candy's, and Teazerz.

Clean and strip club don't really go together.

But I agree with your take on Hooters.

It's a lot closer to Derby Lane than Tampa Bay Downs.

Probably about 30 minutes from TBD and 12 from DL.

I ate there probably 50+ times a winter.

Not that I have anything against the place, I've never been there because it is completely out of my daily route. I'd have to make it a destination,aaannd that ain't happening.

I prefer the skankified clubs in Pasco where 20-something baby mommas trot out their c-section scarred wares, no conversation required - their heads are filled with nothing but crystal meth residue and daddy issues.

And I shall take my meals elsewhere.

So wrong...yet so right. I laughed a lot.

I used to work right around the corner from there on US19. I will admit eating lunch there one time, before it was Oz and they painted it purple.

When I was much younger and dumber (still dumb but just older), I used to play softball for an adult establishment. Obviously, we used to go back there after games and indulge in beverages, food from the buffet and most importantly lap dances. Like I said, I was young and stupid, but from what I remember the food wasn't that bad. It was all simple stuff like baked ziti, macaroni cheese and some sort of chicken. I remember being a bit apprehensive the first time, but after that I didn't give it much thought.

Honestly the more I think about it, I really don't believe that some of the strip bars I've frequented are any worse than the majority of racetracks that I have been to and have eaten at .

I look forward to meeting you. I'm with you....When I eat I'm usually watching TV, or races on the computer, or a magazine. Replace that with nipples. I don't see the problem.

I think combining food and naked women is commonplace in Florida.

good ol' Cafe Risque.. part diner, part sex store, part fully nude strip club.

Its as well lit as walking into an office building.. and the dancers get naked and dance right on the bar of the diner!

I'm going to have to try to be in Tampa that week as much as possible.

Are you playing golf with us Friday morning?
