you do a pretty good job at searching and finding old, random, nationwide news stories, LOL.

Google, it's a really advanced new web site. It's really hard to use but you should try it sometime.

I googled that article because I thought maybe it was from The Onion. The story is over 2 years old but still funny strange.

For a guy who can't find a simple escort ad on a sparsely populated section like Wausau, backpage, with the heading of "Jewel. Wausau. Found on Backpage," right in your face,

Do you guys have a link to her ad? Thank you!

The Internet has spawned a virtual subculture of “johns” who share information electronically about prostitution, potentially making them harder to catch, according to a new study co-authored by a Michigan State University criminologist.

Here's how it should have read:

The reading of books has spawned a virtual subculture of scroll readers called 'scholars and studentrs' who share information via books and lectures. They have tools called tenure and "donations from parents" potentially making some of them harder to get rid of, according to a new study co-authored by a USA Sex Guide historian.

The research by USG's Hugest John and Crispie Pholds of USA Sex Guide challenges the common perception that nerds act alone and do not interact for fear of reprisal or scorn. The study appears on the usasexguide web site.

John, a john among johns, said today's book-savvy readers use colleges to solicit graduate students and to provide each other info on which girls like to get drunk and screw.

The study analyzed colleges listed in Playboy Magazine's Girls of the Big Ten and Girls of the Pac Ten, as well as 10 other cities across the US with the highest rates of under aged drinking tickets by females over 18.

In the college dorms, the nerds provide detailed information on the location of parties where they've actually talked to a girl before, as well as ways to identify both virgins and hoes, information on drink specials, and shared personal experiences with their room mates, some of which were true.

The open nature of some dorms room layouts led the nerds to carefully disguise their discussions with a unique language, or argot, based largely on code and acronyms, code words such as,"a sure thing","a nice personality","blue balls" and "she can suck the chrome off a trailer".

The study said the nerds place significant value on the notion that taking out huge student loans is very normal. 'These college communities help these individuals justify their behavior, ' John said.

In addition, the study found that an increasing amount of nerds, in their social interactions, generally perceive a college degree as a way to get a job rather than help people.

For Thomas Holt and Kristie Blevins of the University of North Carolina, approaching the subject of that article in such an analytical way, getting all scientific and searching and studying our habits, it's really nothing more than something to chuckle at. It's as though when you add compensation to the equation for fucking it perplexes the minds of what you would perceive to be "intelligent" people. Man fucked before marriage was invented, whether using a club over a woman's head or opening your wallet, it's all about getting the same thing, pussy!

[Kimosabe]

So now I am a member of a subculture and I speak "argot"?

All I can say to Thomas Holt and Kristie Blevins is "uck-fay ou-yay".

[Red Draggin]

Boy, who knew such things went on? This report really breaks some new ground!

The Internet has spawned a virtual subculture of “johns” who share information electronically about prostitution, potentially making them harder to catch, according to a new study co-authored by a Michigan State University criminologist.

The research by MSU’s Thomas Holt and Kristie Blevins of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte challenges the common perception that sex customers act alone and do not interact for fear of reprisal or scorn. The study appears in the Journal of Contemporary Ethnography.

Holt, assistant professor of criminal justice, said today’s Web-savvy johns use the Internet to solicit prostitutes and to provide each other with warnings of prostitution hot zones and stings, which can hamper the efforts of law enforcement officials.

But the more police become familiar the johns’ Web activities, the more it can help them zero in on the perpetrators, Holt added.

“The growth of these deviant subcultures has made it more difficult for law enforcement,” said Holt, who has helped police devise prostitution stings. “On the other hand, it gives us a new opportunity to use the way the offenders communicate to better target their activities.”

The study analyzed prostitution Web forums in 10 U.S. cities with the highest rates of prostitution arrests: Atlanta; Baltimore; Chicago; Dayton, Ohio; Elizabeth, N.J.; Forth Worth, Texas; Hartford, Conn.; Inglewood, Calif.; Las Vegas; and Memphis, Tenn.

In the Web forums, the johns provide detailed information on the location of sexual services on the streets and indoors, as well as ways to identify specific providers, information on costs and personal experiences with providers.

The open nature of the forums led the johns to carefully disguise their discussions with a unique language, or argot, based largely on code and acronyms. This argot may help johns and sex workers to avoid legal sanctions and any social stigma associated with participating in the sex trade, the researchers said.

The study also said the johns place significant value on the notion that paid sexual encounters are normal and non-deviant. “These Internet communities help these individuals justify their behavior,” Holt said.

In addition, the study found that the johns, in their Internet exchanges, generally perceive prostitutes as commodities rather than people.

Vice cops nab lieutenant colonel who wanted to 'fool around'

<Quote>
An Air Force lieutenant colonel ran afoul of Dayton police Tuesday evening when he allegedly picked up a prostitute on the city’s east side.

Undercover vice detectives were keeping an eye on a known street walker when the lieutenant colonel’s Jeep was spotted leaving a parking lot with the woman in the passenger’s seat. The detectives followed the Jeep into Oakwood, where it parked in front of an apartment building. One of the detectives believed he’d talked with the lieutenant colonel last year in a similar situation.

The two were inside the apartment building for 15 minutes. As they exited, they were met by detectives. The colonel agreed to talk with detectives, telling them he had paid the $40 to help the woman out and “fool around a little,” according to the police report.

The woman, who had seven previous prostitution convictions, separately told detectives she was just getting a ride to her house. When confronted with the fact that she and the lieutenant colonel traveled in the opposite direction from her house, she admitted the deal was oral sex for $40, about two to four times the normal street rate. She said the deal was consummated and produced the $40 she was paid.

When told of the woman’s statement, the lieutenant colonel reportedly admitted the deal. He told detectives he was in the active Air Force and was preparing to deploy to Afghanistan in August.

The detective who thought he might have questioned the colonel previously was able to locate a field interview from last January. In that interview, the lieutenant colonel told the detective he “likes to help the girls out.”

Detectives requested misdemeanor summonses for the lieutenant colonel and the woman.

Do they still have the day shift on Fridays? Used to be able to go in at 10:00 am and get a nice beer and lapper on every other Friday starting at 7 am. Haven't been there in a LONG time but would go if the Friday thing is still going.

Stinky Needs a Lapper

I called before I went. They opened at 4 PM.

[Mr Stinky]

Went there last Saturday. Very small crowd. There were actually more dancers than patrons. Most of the dancers were 7s. 8s, and 9s, all nude. About 60/40 split between black ladies and whites. I got some very sensual dollar dances from the ladies, two black, and two white. I had some lap dances which were also as hot as could be for a Jackson. But the best of them was a stunning redhead named Nikki, dancing under the stage name of Electra. Really hot.

Drinks, including soda pop are all $5 as is the cover charge. They have a VIP room for $100 / half-hour but it's not much different from the lap dances with perhaps other activity. I did not try that so I don't know for sure. I did learn that the cctv in the room doesn't work.

Yes, I had a good time and I will go back.

Has anyone tried TOR, The Onion Router?

https://www.torproject.org

I see they have a version just made for Firefox, but I don't want to try it if it doesn't work. Has anyone used it?

One of the things most hype about being an elevated player is having a name that mothafuckas respect. It's that one thing that punks who don't have your money always remember to yell while you're beating them down. "No <Insert Pimp Name>! Please don't beat me down <Insert Pimp Name>! I left my money in my other pants <Insert Pimp Name>!"

See what I mean?

That's it, that's what we all need is a kickass pimp name to show who's boss with these hoes!

Legislation aims to foil terrorists, other criminals
Wednesday, June 9, 2010 02:52 AM
By Beth Fouhy
Associated Press

NEW YORK - Alarmed by the use of hard-to-track prepaid cell phones by terror suspects, New York Sen. Chuck Schumer and Texas Sen. John Cornyn have introduced legislation requiring consumers to produce identification before buying such phones.

The bill has been praised by law enforcement and has bipartisan support, even as civil-liberties groups have raised privacy concerns and some terror experts say it won't deter bad behavior.

Schumer, a Democrat, and Cornyn, a Republican, are hoping to schedule hearings on the bill through the Judiciary Committee. Schumer has urged Attorney General Eric Holder to back the measure.

Prepaid phones can be a lifeline for people with limited income or poor credit, allowing them to purchase a device and a limited amount of calling time without committing to a costly contract. Phone companies sold $16 billion worth of prepaid cell phones last year, and the devices are hugely popular worldwide.

But because the phones can be purchased anonymously and are thrown away after use, they've long been a favored tool of drug dealers, gang members and even white-collar criminals looking to cover their tracks.

In recent years, such phones also have been linked to suspected terror activity, including that by Faisal Shahzad, the Pakistani-American accused of plotting to bomb Times Square. Law-enforcement officials said Shahzad had used a prepaid cell phone to purchase a car in which to hide a bomb and to communicate with co-conspirators in Pakistan.

A handful of states and several countries require registration to purchase a prepaid cell phone.

"If law enforcement has a legitimate need to surveil, let them surveil," Schumer said, adding, "You can make sure privacy is protected."

That view isn't necessarily shared by civil-liberties groups and other advocates of digital privacy, who say they have both legal and practical objections.

"The Supreme Court has always upheld the principle that you have the right to speak anonymously - that the decision to identify yourself as a speaker is an aspect of speech itself," said Lee Tien, a senior staff attorney with the Electronic Frontier Foundation.

Tien also noted that many people, especially younger ones, regularly swap phones and SIM cards and buy used cell phones, further blurring the identity of the phones' users and owners.

"For a variety of reasons, this doesn't sound like a 'get off the ground' kind of idea," he said.

Schumer disagreed, saying the identity of prepaid cell purchasers would be kept private by phone companies in the same way that identities of regular cell and land-line phone owners are protected.

So far, no major phone company has objected to the legislation, and some say they fully embrace it.
