Tales From the Lounge: Cheapskate Edition

[PepperElf]

Meh. A $3 cover charge doesn't bother me. Especially if it keeps out the assholes.


My favorite bar in Japan had a 300¥ cover charge and then 1000¥ per hour for Happy Hour - all you could drink from the menu. (about $3 and $10).

I think the cover charge was mainly there to discourage the foreigners (or rather unruly American sailors who can't behave). I remember going back with my BF and they recognized him and they "forgot" to charge us cover charge.

Of course perverts wear glasses!

Helps us see the good stuff!

I first read this as Tales from the Lounge: Chesapeake Edition and I thought ooh, a local!

Then I wondered if the op was a fan of The League of Gentlemen.

Then I questioned my sanity.

Thanks op. I needed that.

You're Welcome.

BTW, I am only a couple of hours from the Delaware Water Gap.

So wait.

Glasses make you a pervert?

Glad I'm too poor for Lasic, and have such an odd prescription that contacts don't really work for me, now I have an excuse.

[EricKei]

Heehee. Same here. It doesn't really matter anyway, it's my understanding that, with my prescription, Lasik/other eye surgeries would just result in my having to wear weaker glasses. If I gotta wear them anyway (contacts HURT), I see no point in spending thousands of buckazoids just to have slightly thinner specs ^_^

psst - not all perv's wear glasses....

never worn glasses

100% Perv!

the not wearing glasses allows us to avoid detection (for a time)

[Andara Bledin]

Just keep the Pervish food away from me.

That may require extra assistance, and perhaps a chair.... >_>

psst - not all perv's wear glasses....

Indeedy... House full of pervs and not a pair of glasses in sight.

Shades don't count.

But do they wear them at night, so they can see you weave...?

I've worn glasses for nearsightedness since 5th grade. My parents got tired of me squinting at everything. I didn't wear them full time till I was in about 8th grade. Senior year of high school I switched to contacts and I thought they were absolutely amazing. I mostly wore contacts for the next 20 years or so, but then they started bothering my eyes...then even when I didn't have contacts in my eyes were burning a lot (and the burning is getting worse). I guess I'll be wearing glasses for the foreseeable future, though I'd LOVE to get Lasik done.

And yes, I have reached the age where I can't read close up with my glasses on...but I can usually read without them, so I'm putting off bifocals as loooooooooooong as possible (I do have the cheap convenience store style reading glasses if needed, but I don't really use them since I haven't been wearing contacts.)

Like some of you. I changed schools from Primary to Secondary (so 12/13 or so) and they used white boards. Suddenly I couldn't even tell there was anything written on the board in red let alone read it!

I'm sure I didn't turn into a perv until at least my 20s though...
