Samurais Are Not Good For Salutations

Last week we wondered if machetes were prevalent because if they were, then we missed the boat. Now, it seems that big knives are in, as a man threatened the bouncers outside the Hustler Club with a samurai sword. The NY Post says Eric Yudelove, a sex book author, used the sword after he tried to get the dancer fired because she "rebuffed his advances" and "it became clear she wasn't interested in anything other than his money." Dude, you're at a strip club, paying for dances and attention - you're a walking bag o' money to these ladies. Yudelove was arrested; he had also threatened to blow up the Hustler Club and had an Uzi in his car. No word on whether the sword was a Hattori Honzo, but this is almost as goofy as the guy who is upset at the escort he hired for inviting other escorts over and charging $40,000 to his credit card. In the case of escorts, we imagine caveat emptor rules.

Were there any zombies in the vicinity? Then his weapon-toting would have been justified...

$40,000 for an Escort???

That escort better be a freakin porn star to cost that much... Suckerrr

This teaches you guys to always use CASH when using the services of an Escort or a VIP room Stripper.

caveat emptor...i'm impressed J-chung. by the way, I'm writing and playing the drums drunk with my day off.

Gothamist has been saying "dude" a lot recently.

Indeed.
I think the excessive use of the word 'Dude' is chipping away the integrity of blogging journalism.

When it reaches the point where she starts using the terms 'Hella', or 'Sweet', then we should panic.

There's integrity in blogging journalism?

BTW, Kojak, I dare you to carry your samurai sword to the nearest bar tonight. Let's see if the police are still as permissive as you said last time.

Enough integrity for MSNBC, CNN, and BBC to take some of their sources from blogs and even run some blogs of their own.

Well Brightliner, I would never raise any weapon to a police officer, or carry one around with me. Besides, these swords are for show.

Also I already have three strikes against me if I did what you asked and was confronted by the police:
1) Samurai Sword in Public without a Permit.
2) Our beloved Trigger happy NYPD
3) I'm Black

Just one of these should be enough to land me in jail or in a hospital.

I really like it when girls (or "chicks", I guess) use "dude". Anyway, I guess the stripper wasn't too impressed with the fact that this guy wrote Taoist Yoga and Sexual Energy

Heh, you even screw up Asian crap. It's Hattori Hanzo.

Did someone say my name?

It's the same media that NEVER mentioned Muslims' hatred of Israel as a possible motive for 9/11.
