We are proud to announce an intrepid venture into video journalism by this here staff and our very own Charles Geilich.
Next week Charles will be participating in a private session of Pole’lates at The Girls Room where he will delve into such questions as: What does the inside of The Girls Room look like? Can a grown man hang upside down from a pole? Would anyone want to watch it?
The result will then be edited and packaged into a video appearing on our website Peoplenewspapers.com.
If all goes well Charles should be able to do the pictured maneuver, but it looks like that guy may have had some help from a bottle of liquid courage.
Feel free to suggest your own ideas for Charles’ dance routine. And as always your comments are welcome.
UPDATE: Jump to see an advanced move Charles should definitely try.
Given that this IS a newspaper - his routine will be to “Dirty Laundry,” right?
I think the man in the picture is stuck. I am experiencing some trepidation.
You should have seen the other picture. The guy was literally flying around the pole.
It’s on my sched. Wild horses couldn’t keep me away.
Charles,
If you flip the pic 90 degrees it looks like the guys on a BBQ spit. IJS
Now, what was that addess again for us to send in our charity donations to Mad for Pole?
You know, I don’t think we ever came up with anything, Leigh, but my complete loss of dignity should count for something. Any ideas?
We decided to nix the charity idea for ethical and objectivity reasons.
Phew. Good idea, Josh. If remuneration were involved, Charles might have to go through a criminal background check and all that other bothersome stuff Mitchell Rasansky is proposing in his SOB-related budget amendment.
ChuckyG, learn your moves well and you can work at the next Pete Sessions burlesque fundraiser. (”No one was nekkid!”)
The only reason I’m writing a comment here is that my Captcha words were too good to pass up: “marry Hooker.”
By way of update, I would like to report that I strained my right shoulder recently. Yet, I vow that the show will go on, as I play through the pain.
Charles, a psychic might say your injury represents the “strain” you feel from “shouldering” so many responsibilities — work, home, managing sprinklers, opening banks, removing raccoons, and now pole dancing. I say, too many golf courses, too little time.
Captcha doesn’t like me. I don’t get the meaningful phrases. Often just words I don’t know.
Captcha gets what Captcha wants, mine are “Broadway Requiring.”
Here goes: “There’s no business like show business
If you tell me it’s so
Traveling through the country is so thrilling
Standing out in front on opening nights
Smiling as you watch the benches filling
And see your billing up there in lights.”
I think I can here some dogs barking in the alleyway near Al’s.
Anon, I do intend to hit my serious training tomorrow, by playing golf in the 130 degree weather.
And as I saw the bank going up on the site of the former “The Fare,” I grew a bit wistful. For the old sign, I mean, not The Fare itself. Ahem.
