1. If things go as planned, Rick’s Cabaret International will open the largest topless-and-bottomless joint in the state, right here in our fair town. The 25,000-square-foot XTC Cabaret will open on Stemmons, in the old Penthouse Key Club spot. On the record, City Manager Mary Suhm said, “It is not a distinction we have been pursuing.” Off the record, she said, “If it would bring in tax revenue, hell, I’d welcome a 25,000-square-foot Ikea-style Ron Jeremy super center.”
2. Three things I find highly suspect about the Playmaker’s tale that someone drew down on him: 1) that when Michael Irvin sees another car pull up to his at a stoplight at 9:30 in the p.m., Irvin will roll down his window if he thinks the guy in the other car wants to talk to him; 2) that Irvin can tell the difference, on sight, between a fully automatic weapon and a semi-automatic one; and 3) that when the alleged gun-toter recognized Irvin, he actually said, “Oh, that’s Michael Irvin, with the Dallas Cowboys.” (Like, you know: “Oh, that’s Barack Obama, with the United States government.”)
3. Bushgate.

Bret Michaels once said, Dallas has the best strip clubs in the U.S. Maybe this could be incorporated into the “Find your ‘D’ Spot” campaign.
“Irving”? Tsk. Tsk.
Michael Irvin checked me out at a traffic light once. Gave me the head nod and everything.
I thought Bushgate was another link concerning item #1.
@ Blake: 4 out of 5 “Irvin”s ain’t bad. But fixed now. Thanks.
Maybe I am naive in the ways of carjacking and robbery but if the person with the gun was in another car, how would that robbery or carjacking work? Like wouldn’t people normally just sort of speed away when they see a gun? Were the robbers going to request that the driver throw his wallet to them?
Heck, even I could tell a semiautomatic from a revolver at that distance…not unusual at all.
Upon further reading, Tim, it seems you might not be up on the different types of pistols…when you’re talking semiautomatic, that’s the kind with the clip of bullets in the handgrip. Revolvers have the cylinder of bullets under the barrel. Very easy to tell the difference.
Automatic really doesn’t come into play when you’re talking about a pistol.
Now if we’re talking rifles, I can see where it’s harder to tell semi from full auto.
JS,
Haven’t been to a strip club since the Carter years, eh?
Wonder what Rick’s Cabaret will do for Dallas property values? It sure is going to make local plastic surgeon’s happy.
I believe Mike on this one. He probably though the person wanted to say what’s up and he was being accomodating to the “fan.” Mike doesn’t gain anything from telling this story.
It’s a shame that you can’t have a nice car and myob and not get a gun put in your face.
Irvin didn’t get Marcus Allened
Waiting for today’s “DMN is going down the tubes” post in 4…3…2…1…
I believe Mike too. Almost every handgun that’s not a revolver is a semiautomatic.
Michael loses +$50,000 worth of jewelry at a restaurant over the weekend, including a Breitling Bentley watch and a gold/diamond chain (reported on his radio show)…but it was found and kindly returned to him for free.
Michael gets a gun pointed at his vehicle at a stoplight…but it turns out the assailant was a cowboys fan, wants to talk football and ends up letting him go.
Wow, this guy must be having the worst/luckiest week ever!
Question about the gate: Any chance that thing will keep him IN?
Topless and Bottomless, going down and Bush all in one post — trifecta complete.
The Lodge is semi-automatic.
Rick’s will be full auto.
I hope that helps.
