One Theater. Two Stages. Two Plays. Multiple Personalities!
Back in the 1950s, double features were commonplace at drive-in theaters. (Pretty sure our sister was conceived during the final act of Plan 9 from Outer Space).

He might hang back just a little, those dark soulful eyes watching you carefully, those pointed ears tuned in, that beautiful light tan coat with its crisp white accents making Darwin look like the most handsome, most thoughtful dog in the room. And that is exactly what he is. Meet […]

Travel Tuesday: Sex & The Sea Tea
Some people rave about the Mile High Club. We prefer the Mile Deep Club. Unlike sex on an airplane, which always sounds cramped to us because it most likely has to happen in a lavatory, gentlemanly encounters on a cruise ship can be way more fun. Canoodling in the casino? BJs on your balcony? Masturbation in the muster station? As […]
