Update: The Huffington Post also picked up on my column.

From my Feb. 8 column in Scene:
If you’ve ever partied on Sixth and Main during Fat Tuesday, you know that Mardi Gras is alive and well in Downtown Boise.
No, Main Street ain’t Bourbon Street. But the bars do attract revelers who crave beer, blaring music and the traditional exchange of shiny trinkets for flesh flashing.
Yet Fat Tuesday in Boise has always been missing something.
Fortunately, Ted Challenger — who owns Main Street Bistro, China Blue and Dirty Little Roddy’s — knows just what that is.
Fake boobs.
Consequently, a lucky lady will win a perky new set of surgically enhanced breasts as a door prize at his bars Feb. 12.
Boise desperately needs more silicone and saline, right?
“We’re just trying to put some fun back into Mardi Gras,” Challenger explains. “It’s basically a gift certificate to any surgeon of your choice for $3,000 for a breast augmentation.”
Three grand? Is that all it costs? I envision a woman in Tijuana getting old gym socks stuffed up her chest.
Here’s the flier from China Blue’s Facebook page:
Is the prize available to men also, or is this one of those sexist things?
This prize IS for men …
And yes, it is sexist.
And the model for that poster is how old?
At least it isn’t that preteen from the Blind Faith cover…
PS Will any boobs here be improved? ;-ppp
I’d be happy if the rest attached to a pair followed me home and bossed me around, spent my money the rest of my life but WHAT EVER.
Your song just came on The Eagle, Words and Deeds Done Dirt Cheap.
