   God bless (what’s left of) the free market.

   And what’s the over/under on how many days before the puritans come out of the woodwork to demand government force is used to close this down?

   Aargh! So many Benny Hill-esque “would you like cream with that” jokes running through my head! ;<em-)

   Thanks to Radley for the opportunity to read double-entendres all freakin’ day.

   Thanks for picking the low-hanging fruit, freedomfan. :( I guess we need some video of this joint set to Yakkity Sax.

   That would be the bottomless coffee shop

   Doesn’t Maine, in February seem like the wrong loaction to be opening a topless coffee shop?

   What no pictures? What a tease!

   Low hanging fruit. Heh. So you’ve been there, have you?

    Don’t get me wrong, I love tits and I love coffee, so the two together is enough to make me want to drape myself in the American flag and weep while cradling a bald eagle. But every time I hear of a business like this, I always wonder the same thing:

    Doesn’t anyone else think that combining half-naked women and scalding hot liquids is, you know… tempting fate?

    To borrow a Fark cliche: this thread is useless without pics.

    Just another case where the government is powerless to protect it’s citizens from being assaulted by people who insist on exercising their liberties. It’s exactly people like this who abuse their rights by doing things that aren’t socially acceptable. Isn’t it enough to know you have these rights without actually testing them?

    The Founding Fathers would NEVER have included all those things in the Constitution if they thought people would be actually doing them in their own backyard.

    And don’t give me this crap about it all happening behind closed doors where no one can see. It’s not whether anyone can see that matters. The very fact that it’s happening degrades the entire neighborhood. Privacy doesn’t mean you can do shameful things, you know. With privacy comes responsibility.

    Damn, Dave, I thought you were serious. Then I clicked your name.
    Some nice galleries you have there.

    “Doesn’t Maine, in February seem like the wrong loaction to be opening a topless coffee shop?”

    Umm … NOOO!

    LOL, Rick. I posted a double-unintendre. Nice catch.

15. #15 |  Cynical in CA |  February 25th, 2009 at 1:05 pm

    Dave is perfecting the art of dry satire.

    BTW, my work computer wouldn’t let me access your site.

    Just kidding. You’re a regular Mapplethorpe, you! Outstanding.

    @M (#3): Really? I’ve lived here for 25 years and don’t remember that. Is it still open for business?

    Seriously, I love how the guy in Maine has wait staff of both genders. You think Hooters will start hiring buff boys to gender balance the bosomy babes?

    God. That was hard to even type with a straight face.

    nice stuff, Dave!

    our annual motorcycle trip is to Nova Scotia this year, I’ll try to route us through Vassalboro for a couple of cups!

    Topless 43yo Mainer? This Moo Hampshirite will pass.

    @16

    I think any men Hooters hired couldn’t be fit if they were going to meet the C-cup job requirement.

    For those seeking picture… there is one safe-for-work photo with the story here: http://morningsentinel.mainetoday.com/news/local/5989595.html

    I don’t think I would want to work there during the winter… frostbite anyone??? Also – if they warmed up over the steamer, would that be unsanitary????? Just curious and God Bless America.

    “I think any men Hooters hired couldn’t be fit if they were going to meet the C-cup job requirement.”

    Then, good for Phil Mickelson — there’s a job waiting for him after the PGA Tour.

    Thanks, guys. I do tend to repeat arguments that I’ve heard that really were meant to be taken seriously despite their irrationality. When I do it, it’s just cheap sarcasm. :)

25. #25 |  Z |  February 26th, 2009 at 1:00 am

    That picture has made me a coffee lover and a die harder New Englander.

    Ha HA! I just corrupted any children reading this post!

27. #27 |  nic |  February 27th, 2009 at 12:00 am

    Chris, I’m just counting the number of days ’till we hear about a lawsuit from a woman whose breasts were burned serving coffee.

28. #28 |  markm |  February 27th, 2009 at 7:48 am

    BenS: “safe-for-work photo”? Another tease.

    Chris: “Doesn’t anyone else think that combining half-naked women and scalding hot liquids is, you know… tempting fate?”

    If you mean it might make you more likely to spill coffee in your lap, possibly. If you’re concerned about the waitresses’, err, assets, how often does cloth protect against scaldings versus how often it holds the liquid so the burn is deeper?
