Thai generals ban go-go dancers | |||
2006-09-27 | |||
You didn't think I'd pass up this story, did you? Thailand's coup leaders have banned go-go dancers from performing for troops on the streets of Bangkok, fearing soldiers may be distracted.
But the coup's leaders said Monday's go-go dancers - who appeared in skimpy camouflaged tops and pants - were the final straw. "I don't know what the organiser's intention was but this should be the first and last of this type of dance performance. It's totally inappropriate," said coup spokesman Lt Gen Palangoon Klaharn.

#19 I'ma bettin' many of us got your pun, RC. In fact, even before I got to your post, I was tryin' to think of the words to that song (dad-gum 80's music). Now, where's my Go-Go's album? |

#10 The coup leader's muslim values are trickling down to the heathen infidel. I don't think they're against go-go dancers, Mike. He just doesn't want them dancing on the tanks during operations. |

#6 mojo - I give the ping-pong ball show a '7' but the egg-banana-egg show was a '10'. Also, I'da bet money you couldn't pluck a twenty out of the neck of a beer bottle and fold it without using you hands. But I was wrong. |

#5 "I don't know what the organiser's intention was but this should be the first and last of this type of dance performance. It's totally inappropriate," said coup spokesman Lt Gen Palangoon Klaharn. He followed this with, "You're talking to a coupist whose every move's among the purest. I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine. I don't see you guys rating the kind of mate I'm contemplating. I'd let you watch, I would invite you, but the queens we use would not excite you." |

#3 That didn't take long did it? The coup leader's muslim values are trickling down to the heathen infidel. By force of arms if necessary. |
