Weird Story of the Day

1) There's a brothel preserved as a museum in (wait for it) Butte, Montana.

Heh-heh. Heh heh heh. Heh heh heh. Butte.

2) Just as the New York Times was about to do a story on it, they open the doors for the reporter and find the cathouse museum to be the victim of illegal entry. It is suspected the thieves entered "through the back door."

Heh-heh. Heh heh heh. Butte. Back door. Heh heh heh.

3) The thieves made away with "antique sex toys." Not really sure what that means, pre-latex, before the great leap forward in sex-toy technology. I'm figuring it's stuff like wooden hammers with which to smash yourself in the genitals. Meat tenderizers, so to speeak.

Heh heh. Meat.

Hey-- people were made of tougher stuff back then.

4) But the thieves cheesed it before making it to the upper levels, where more valuable prehistoric sex toys were kept. Why?

"I think they got scared out as they were in the process," Giecek said.
More specifically, he's pointing to supernatural interference.

"I do think a ghost scared them off," he said.

In 1992, thieves who broke into the brothel and were caught said they were scared off the second floor by a ghost. Maybe the same thing happened here, he said.

Look, when you're in a whorehouse, the clanking of chains and rhythmic moaning does not necessarily indicate an ectoplasmic intruder.

Ectoplasm. Heh heh. Ghost choad. Heh heh heh. A heh heh heh heh huh huh heh.

Definitely funny, but I think "Butte" is pronounced "byoot," which makes it not quite as funny.

Heh. Some days I just thank God you were born, Ace.

Did you forget to take your meds today?

Kind of gives "Deadwood" a whole new meaning, huh?

Heh heh. Wood. Whole. Heh heh.

Ace, that's what we call an instant classic. I wonder if Vegas can give us an over/under on how many times you'll regurgitate that in the next year.

Thieves break into a haunted brothel...antique sex toys...

...anyone want to set the over/under on how long before there's a movie project with Paris Hilton attached?

Wooden mallets? Ace, that's disgusting. I'm pretty sure that by the nineteenth century they had moved on to the steam-powered vibrator. The later, more compact models were no bigger than a Franklin stove.

Heh heh heh heh. Indeed. Heh heh.

Damn those Butte Burglars.

What is so funny about this post is how utterly juvenile Ace is.

Settle down Beevis.

Ace,

Forget those antique sex toys. I want to hear about the prehistoric sex toys. Which T Rex Bone is required to really get the old "Dino gal" rocking? Bet the Earth really shook when Tyrannosaurus Rex and Raquel would find the mood (or the meteor) hit 'em.

I've been to the town and the museum. It's a pretty area and definitely worth a visit (just maybe not a long one.)

Yeah. I figure I'll need about five minutes. Maybe seven, if it's cold that day.
