Fluff: Establishments you wouldn't want to visit
04-28-2009, 03:07 AM
In the "Klein Bottle?" thread, Bob wrote: Quote:You could put a standup comedy club in Kandor and have it owned by Robert Klein, and call that "The Klein Bottle"...
Considering the difficulty of getting out of a Kelin Bottle, one has to wonder who'd pay one a visit.
But that can't be the only establishment with a poorly-considered name. For example, take the Warsie bar, "The Wretched Hive". (Please!) Looks like the Star Wars Cantina, and after a few weeks got the reputation to match.
And who'd risk visiting "Rei's LCL Bar"?
These can't be the only examples. If you've got more, add them below...

For the literary minded, there's Cowboy Feng's Space Bar and Grille.
Good food (best matzo ball soup in the Fenspace), great live music, but there's this worry that every time you're there, a nuclear war will happen.
Along similar lines, I'm sure that there's a Callahan's somewhere in Fenspace. Might even be run by a Mick.

IIRC Callahan's is in Port Phobos.

If anybody finds a bar in the asteroid belt called "The Floating Vagabond", do *not* go in there...

At the other end of the spectrum there is the Alley Cat Sushi and Karaoke Bar. The Alley Cat wanders about Fenspace unless there is a Con in session (in which
case it arrives early, and leaves late.). They only serve "Catgirls" however, so Dress and behave appropriately....

What about "Catboys"?

Well, nobody is going to lift your kilt to do a pantsu check.
As long as you look like one, you'll be treated like one.
But if the Management clues in to your true status (Or you look like you need it) you may dragged into a back room for "grooming" by the Service
Staff, and "asked" to perform on the Public Stage in stead of paying the bill.
Wear your Fake Cat Ears. Tip Well.

Trouble is those two are well-known enough that it'd be like the Big Bad Wolf drapping a fleece over himself to blend in with the flock - he might look
white and fluffy, but you'd have to have tapioca for brains to not notice.

Not a particularly "Fen" sort of place, but I'm sure there's a Krystal's somewhere in Fenspace. I don't know about you guys, but my
gut wouldn't want me visiting there.

True, but as long as B. B. Wolf is willing to play by the rules he won't have to find out about the Sheep dog standing behind him.

Krystal's in Crystal Seattle, maybe?
