Michael Precker gets a nod in today’s WSJ, in a story about the dangers of identifying yourself too strongly with your profession. Precker, as many around these parts know, was a reporter and editor at the DMN until 2006, when he took a buyout. Now he manages the Lodge, which as many around these parts also know, is a high-end strip joint. And I see that on Valentine’s Day weekend, the Lodge will host Tiny Tina. At 3-foot-5, she’s billed as the world’s tiniest dancer. Kudos to you, Mr. Precker. We shall have our singles folded lengthwise and at the ready.

Tim – Look at Wick’s post below.
If you come up with a business plan for a high-end strip joint, Cuban will fund it.
Hold me closer, Tiny Tina.
I also applaud Mr. Precker on his unique billing for Valentine’s Day. With discretionary funds in decline, he can’t stand accused of being short-sighted.
Are they gonna add a dog and pony to the show too?
What a Precker…
White Rock Eagle, I don’t want you to under sell this. Her appearance is no small potatoes.
Dancers of Tina’s stature are hard to find.
She love you short time.
Forget high-end clubs, gimme one with low ceilings so I feel like a giant.
Elton would be thrilled
@ Tiny Tina,
I don’t want to get all Malkovich on you, but you may want to look into working on the 7 1/2th floor of the Merton-Flemming Building. Good benefits for ye and your accursed kind.
Bridget the Midget is not amused…
This stunt could be a Precker Wrecker.
so does this mean lap dances will be only $10 instead of $20?
i bet she’ll be dancing a SHORT set. hey-oh!
Can I bring 50 cent pieces instead of ones?
I don’t think Tina is tall enough to give you a lap dance but I bet she can give your chins a shimmy!
Blew that one! I meant shins!
Is there a stature of limitations on this?
And does she use a little tiny pole?
Barber shop pole.
Yes, phony, so she should be perfect for you.
Troll Doll, I think little of that comment.
It only took me a short time to think of it.
LOL @ Puddin.
Using “Blow” in a midget stripper thread.
I’m seriously considering making a trip out to see Tiny Tina, despite being a homosexual.
I’ve also heard rumors of a local stripper that is missing an arm, anyone know where I can find her? Maybe I can make a night of it with some friends, an armless stripper and a miniature stripper, it could be fun.
Remember the experience of Patton Oswald: If you hit a midget on the head, they turn into a dozen gold coins. But if you lose a fight to a midget, you become a midget.
So basically, Trey, they’ve got to tap that midget?
Don’t sell this show short. She’s a pocket rocket!
Look, this is what is happening in journalism — a great reporter, spurned by the local paper, becomes a clever gentleman’s club manager and hooks up with a dancer who used to write briefs. One industry’s loss is another’s gain.
Now, “Anthem For Tina”
by R. Abbot “Bunny” Hauperton
It matters not whether
you stand tall
the dancin’ question is
can you shake it all?
You can look up
we can look down,
when the music starts
just shake it aroun’.
Go Tina, go, dance, girl, dance
jump until it pains ya,
we’ll shove in the cash
we won’t short change ya.
I smell a pilot treatment.
More like a mini-series.
New sport, dancer bowling.
@Puddin’Tane: “Chins” works for me.
A sign of our tough economic times, indeed… can’t afford a whole stripper. Damn cutbacks.
No small wonder how entertaining this post became. If Precker can manage the Lodge, seems Tiny Tina should be given a shot at editing “Briefing.” (Hello? Is this thing on?)
