Can Pure Gold Save Buddy's Crab House and Oyster Bar?

Sundays have been...lascivious at Buddy's lately. A. J. from Pure Gold, the local strip club, has been bringing in some of the ladies in the afternoon after they spend a half of a day at the beach working on their tans. Nicey. But can this influx of tuna and fresh clams bring back the seafood-induced, heady days of the former Raw Bar and the Buddy's that used to actually serve food? The jury is still out, but there have been some noticeable changes to the once local favorite that have not gone over too well with even the most jaded local yokel supporter.

Is it still a beach bar? The answer appears to be no. Men now have to wear shirts in Buddy's, which is like having to wear jeans to bed. What The Hell? Women can still wear bikinis there, but men coming off the beach have to bring a shirt or they are offered a used...yeah, you read that right...a used shirt to wear while they offer money to sit and relax and have a drink. Try relaxing in a shirt that some drunken Marine wore while puking the night before. They say it's the ALE rules that's making them do it. We're calling Bullshit!

There is also a new policy of not having ANY drink specials. Yeah, you read that right, too. There are NO drink specials. That make Buddy's the only beach bar that's too good to drop the price on some beers that don't sell, or are so cheap to buy that they can't lose by offering them as a special. We're talking about you, Miller High Life! Buddy's doesn't think you suck enough to sell for $2!

So can Pure Gold at least help Buddys?

Well, the recent recession has meant there are some very pretty young ladies who have turned to the art of burlesque to augment their incomes, after augmenting their bust line. According to A.J., Pure Gold now has a highly-prized crop of talent, some of which was on display. Unfortunately, all bikinis remained on. And the patrons, male and female, who appreciated the young ladies' verve for fun all had a great time.

Equally unfortunate, the all-time best WB practical joke was in full-effect: Old people were coming up to the door and asking if food was available, while there was bikini frolicking and rap music bursting the seams of the fragile establishment. We already had a problem with them making kids cry, but now it's old people falling for that sign on the building that says they serve food that are sent back to the car grumbling? Who's next, the mentally handicapped!? "Sorry, Timmy. We don't sell water." Jesus! Somebody has to say something.

PSSSSST!! Come here, Buddy. It doesn't have to keep going this way. Someone has to tell you that you're fucking up this once-great brand name by maintaining a classy place on Topsail for your hip, boating friends while letting the most visited, and famous, representation of your brand go to shit. Fix it, already. The least you should do is ask for some Pure Gold shirts to give free to shirtless guys who want to give you their money.
