the 8th wonder

It just dawned on me that Charlie Kirk has almost certainly done coke off the toilet seat in the bathroom at Pete's Place. He lived in Scottsdale. He absolutely would have gone to the Star Valley strip club at least once. Or maybe he tried to get in with a five gallon bucket of loose spaghetti (from the original By The Bucket) in hand and got turned away for being belligerent. Pete's Place runs a tight ship.
If I had any connections in the region still I would follow up on this. I think the rabbit hole goes deeper...
I’m really struggling with this one here, it’s like looking into a very very deep hole. I can feel time slowing.
I had to check. Pete's Place is still in business and hasn't rebranded. While you're in the area get a popcorn bucket full of spaghetti at the original By the Bucket. Where they sell spaghetti by the bucket. Magical place, Payson is.
tagline material tbh
i had to look this up, i was not disappointed
By The Bucket started as a spaghetti place in Payson targeting flatlanders going up to the high country looking for something cheap, easy, and inoffensive to bring up to the cabin. They expanded into the AZ high country as well as Phoenix, Tucson, and SLC, and have apparently since fragmented like a Nepalese Maoist tendency. I want to know the Mormon machinations that happened. Why is there a Tucson-Show Low splinter spaghetti-in-a-popcorn-bucket operation going by a different name? Did the SLC By The Bucket close, or has it gone underground like some kind of Mormon pasta-slinging Tupamaros? I need to know.
This is so weirdly fascinating
The amount of info you have given me on this place has made my day immeasurably better
There's two Gila County fairs. Payson is still salty about not being the county seat 100 years later so they have their own fair you can't enter anything in if you've already entered it in the Globe county fair. Globe got the county seat. Globe doesn't give a shit if you entered your stuff in the Payson fair. They know they won their little fuckass nowhere pissing match. They'll be riding that high until the mines close and it gets quietly returned to the San Carlos Apache.
If you've ever been through Globe, you'll let them have that little victory. Nothing good ever came from Globe.
Luring young men in like Charlie did.
Do you think they have a Charlie Kirk Memorial Strip Steak at the Charlie Kirk Memorial Strip Club
Nah I think they are vegan
If you try to sell vegan food in Star Valley they are running your woke Antifa flatlander ass all the way back to Tucson. Where all the vegans live. You could sell normal beef as vegan beef and there would be a pitchfork wielding mob outside your door so fast.
I think there's a breakfast place in Payson that has vegan options. By The Bucket is vegan as long as you don't get meatballs (they're good but they're small and they cost $1.50/each, that's how they get you).
Implying you can't have a vegan steak
Can I get rid of vampires with a vegan stake
depends on if the vampire is considered an animal whose bodily autonomy requires consent to breach
depends how much cellulose is in it
well they definitely have strip and they it's likely that they have steaks so ....
8th-10th wonder of the world. This is big.
Based on a true story
Silent Hill 2 building in the daylight
Yeah that seems like a totally classy establishment that isn't just a front for a biker gang.
Pete's Place has a 4.9 star rating on Google Maps and is by all accounts one of the better strip clubs in Arizona.
It used to be a steakhouse and Pete never took the cow off the sign out front. It's been a community institution for like 20 years now.
Oh wow it's real boys
What's extra great is across the street from a church and there's a feed store behind it. I guess we're gonna have to do an official HexBear road trip.
I mean, that's just a typical highway in a small-medium rural town.
If you go to the women's restroom at the Circle K there on the 260, say hi to my phantom side piece. Bring her a couple gallons of loose unsauced spaghetti as an offering and she'll whisper my name.
That's genuinely so fucking funny, I expected it to be an entirely fake image. The lore is appreciated
If anywhere was going to be the Charlie Kirk memorial strip club, it'd be in Gila County. Whoever made this knew what they were doing.
Go up the Rim east on 260 to Show Low and you can visit the Trump Store. Maybe you run into George Takei. Steal some shit from the summer houses there, the cops don't even bother responding to calls. If you make the drive in the winter there will be flatlanders playing in plow wash like they've never seen snow before (good chance they haven't).
Keep going and you hit Springerville, where there's a combination gun store and pharmacy with a really nice liquor aisle. Settler-occupied northeastern Arizona is one of the strangest places on earth. o7
They have a really good pizza buffet there, iirc. Surprised to see Star Valley on the bear site.

im not a strip club guy, but i would try to find a couple of guys i trust to go with me to check that place out.
definitely the sort of place where you back into the parking place in case you need a quick getaway.
even if the outside is the craziest thing about it, just walking in the door is a story.
My partner and I will go with you just for the story. We'll bring the dogs. I'm sure they'll allow dogs into the club without a cover.
Please do this. They've been frothing at the mouth about busloads of Antifa showing up for like 10 years now, they'll never suspect a Corgi with a laptop. And I'm pretty sure dogs don't pay cover. A lap dance for the dog is extra, though.
If the pup jumps on peoples laps, does the dog get paid?
I think then you owe Pete a portion of whatever tips you get for the dog sitting in people's laps, or else there's some kind of predatory employment contract involved.
i've only seen movies but i think the protocol is to slide a dollar under the dog's collar
Are those ladies using crutches?
I am pretty sure those are the little canes cabaret performers use.
ah didn't recognize them without the cute little bowler hats
I used to live in a place, long time ago, where there was a very small gentlemen's club, where the owners girlfriend was a dancer there. She had an artificial leg and this was well before C-legs, and all the high tech shit we have now.
I was too young to go in the place but it was common knowledge Butch's girlfriend Heather worked there weekends and she was missing her left leg above the knee.
I'm still not sure how to feel about it, to be honest.
I wonder if she was able to actually pole dance with an above the knee amputation cuz if so that's fucking impressive.
Being disabled doesn't make you not a sexual being. If she wasn't coerced or exploited (Conditions that apply to any other worker, although of course sex workers are more likely to be exploited and coerced) then there really isn't a problem with an amputee being a stripper.
I didn't say someone couldn't be a sexual person, but thanks for the woke scolding at any rate.
That is not what it was intended as
Yeah as long as she wasn't being exploited like you say then it's fine. Matter of fact there's some out there that fetishize disabled people, now that is a problem, obviously.
I mean, if she's not exploited, and can take the fetishizers' money to the bank, good on her!
only emotional ones. lol
Ah yes, when I want to go see some exotic dancers what I really want to see out front is a big plexiglass cow
Google is failing me, no surprise, but someone on here once posted a sign for exotic dancers with exotic animals, so maybe some clubs have livestock on stage?
Nothing like the smell of cow shit when I'm ogling some naked ladies
Or chicken running around and pecking at your feet. Shit, we got a strip show at the farm fair!
Unbelievable
His entrepreneur genius has been surpassed
I love the plexiglass cows. When I was a kid I lived in a town that had 2 supermarkets with these cows on top of the sings as in the op, it was very cool. I haven been there in decades, but last I heard the chain got sold, and the cows got removed.
In the stripped club straight up KIRKING it, and by "it", well, ha ha, I mean my CHARLIE
She charlie on my kirk until I gang violence
I hear the chocolate fountain is flowin
