This reminds me the part of Perdido Street Station I´m reading atm, where they stalk a moth in a decrepit building and fool the monster by diverting the smell of their minds and thus being able to cut up a football sized ball of dreamshit, which is worth a fortune.

Somehow, this scenario surely can inspire us Barbeloids to find even more exotic brothel names?

names for an aussie brothel - help needed.

Help needed indeed. Of all the websites in all the world you had to come here to ask. Have you googled brothel names? Have you read the wiki? Did you think before posting? You didn't, did you.

Oh, and just a thought to potential contributors, imagine for a moment if your suggestion actually made it to the heady heights of neon supremacy above Sheila's Place and how you might feel about that. Chuffed, or a little bit of sick in the mouth? You decide...

There are a lot of issues involving the ethical function of the sex industry and its various elements. These have been discussed at some length on Barbelith, but could certainly do with another go-round. By relating this collection of word-plays to the shuddersome idea of acts of coition involving your good self, DM, you have done us a favour in a sense by reminding us of the demoralising human cost of the industry, and providing a means by which we can possibly turn to look more closely at the ethics of the sex industry, its regulation and how it plays out in this particular case.


Yeah, that's what I was going for...

On the other hand, "In the name of God, shut up" would be a very ironic name for a brothel too.

Aren't people taking all this a little too, erm, seriously?

I was sorta enjoying the pun fun for a while then...

Good question. As somebody who has shot from both sides, as it were, I think maybe enjoyment is a valid but not the only valid response.

Well, I'm not saying that I approve of brothels, or the profession that they purvey. I've never been to one, nor spoken about prostitution to a practitioner, so I have nothing to base my opinions on other than the uneasy feeling that surely prostitutes (in general) aren't doing it because they love it.

But I was enjoying setting my mind to the challenge set forth by the o.p.

Sort of a word game, you know.

"Shot from both sides" works too

Haus, you're inspired today

Help needed indeed. Of all the websites in all the world you had to come here to ask. Have you googled brothel names? Have you read the wiki? Did you think before posting? You didn't, did you.

well, for starters, i don't read other message boards, and wouldn't ask this question there, cause every response would be braindead mouthbreathers saying "do i get free memebership if i win?" (not that i'm picking on you DM, i just can't see the point of a whole 10 pages of it). I posted it here because you people are funny, witty, intelligent. if i was serious about naming a brothel, sure, i'd google some names. but they'd mostly be crap like the 'velvet cigar' and 'scores' - i was after something funny.

i have read the wiki, and i can't see where i've gone wrong - but i'm still a n00b and would appreciate you pointing out exactly what i've done wrong. i don't like trolling or offending people so if you can point me to the page that applies to this situation, please do so. i did think twice about posting this, but i thought it might be a bit of fun to have a word game - sure, it's about an as-yet non-existent brothel, but this is the forum with the "i have a great penis, you know" thread.

Stabbystabby - I think it's perfectly reasonable to identify Dead Megatron's post as the fulcrum - it made it much harder to separate the word game from the conceptual reality of the sex industry. I can see from here how the thread goes from here - the less thoughtful members of the board will come up with increasingly unpleasant ideas (take a bow, kids), the more vocal will criticise or seek to discuss the issues, and most will feel sufficiently uncomfortable to leave it alone but not passionate enough to get involved.

it wasn't meant to be a discussion of prositution in general.
 
 
ONLY NICE THINGS
00:17 / 05.07.06
Indeed not. But I think as soon as we are reintroduced to the simple mechanics, it's quite hard to get off them again. Would "pussy galore" or "diggler's den" have been quite so icky to me before DM reminded me that this is what people were conceptualising - penis, vagina, chequebook, over and over? I don't know.

Actualy, afer reading your comment, I have to admit I felt a bit "braindead", so let me pick on myself on this one. Bad, dad Megatron...

As for Haus...

ok, then

I feel that this whole thread suffers from a lack of taste. This may be because I have a few friends who have worked in the sex industry in Qld and know something about the history of said operations. Like, despite years and years of 'royal commissions' into police corruption, I'd wager that most brothels in Qld (like most in Melbourne) are run by people with connections to the police force, or by owners who pay the cops for protection money. Somce the Qld cops are notorious for for causing/enabling many
Aboriginal deaths in custody, as well as just random violence, and lots of drug dealing, I don't think it's asking too much to inject politics into this thread. Not that someone who's friends with a Barbeloid might not end up running a 'decent' house. But Queensland is the last place I'd expect that to happen.

Or maybe I'm just having an irony bypass. More to the point, kangaroo jokes? So old.

brothels in QLD have been recently legalised, hence the decision to open one. certainly, the brothels pre-legalisation were horrible places, connected to organised crime and the police. i believe that's changed now. certainly my friends who work in the peep shows find it a nice place to work.

kangaroo jokes - yeah, old, but still good.

the less thoughtful members of the board will come up with increasingly unpleasant ideas

See, now I can't think of any names at all on the grounds that people might think them unpleasant.

Maybe from here on we should go the detournement route...

Sometimes you can wait long years for somebody to prove your point. Other times, less so.

i think carnal alley (or maybe carnal valley?) rings truest for me.

the gland down under... less so.

Sorry in advance, but the Potter universe always struck me as a place, where sex creeps up in names, because it´s denied it´s place in the storyline.

Muggle Mansion
Shagwarts
Chamber of Secrets
Slither Inn
Platform 69 3/4
Sirius Shag
The Lovegood Lair

Some names of the Potter universe are really too much, though (Argus Filch, Poppy Pomfrey, Horace Slughorn, Peter Pettigrew, Madam Hooch, Nearly Headless Nick, Moaning Myrtle (duh!), Dedalus Diggle, Nymphadora Tonks, Edgar Bones, Amos Diggory, Arnold Peasegood).

How about "Alan"? Alan's a good name. Or "Jim", maybe.

17:15 / 05.07.06
do people start out as 'Jim's tho? I thought all 'Jim's were 'James's?

James is just a plural of Jim. Strue.
 
 
Ticker
17:41 / 05.07.06
a group of Jim's is a James?

suddenly so much becomes CLEAR....

Something in me likes the idea of Mister Disco's completely unintentional suggestion of The Royal Commission.

I have no idea which of Haus' categories this puts me in.

Although Haus of Tiny Terry Waites would attract an interesting clientele....
