Scary Stuff

posted Friday, 28 March 2008

If you travel to northen Wisconsin you may see a Gentleman's Club named Northern Exposure.  Cute name, much more clever than the "El Dorado's", which I always think is a Mexican Restaraunt, yet is actually an adult store.  Why do they call them a gentleman's club anyway, do only men in suits go there?  Anyway, on the parking lot you will find:

world's largest

That's right, the World's Largest Badger and Squirrel!  Funny I thought I there would be a beaver there but anyway, we were brave enough to go behind the fence (for Joy, as I know she loves huge things).

world's largest

I don't want to meet those claws in a dark alley.  Yes, we still have snow, I am beginning to think the ground will forever be white, but I think that I think that every year.  Maybe I think too much, you think?

world's largest

I guess the log the squirrel is on isn't the biggest?  So where is the biggest log?  Anyone?  Bueller?

well, I guess most "gentlemen" who frequent this place don't think it's about the size of their log that matter!

"Gentlemen's club" -- the ultimate misnomer.

I'm not even sure what to say about the badger, the squirrel, the log...and whatever they all have to do with a "gentleman's club"...uh...yep, no idea what to say.

Woke up to snow here this morning again...sigh...

I too would have thought a beaver more appropriate...so why the scary badger and cutsey squirrel?

As for gentlemen - they like to think that don't they?

(and Joy likes big things? - I didn't know..)

Great post. I've noticed when we visit N.E. Wisconsin, a lot of bars and Gentleman's Clubs. Many more per capita than here in So. Cal. I can never figure it out. Maybe, it's the cold and snow. I have no idea. I love your captures.

I love all the unique things you find to photograph, Lisa. Who knew Wisconsin could provide so much fodder!

Gentleman's club - my foot. It seems to me that those clubs are rather squirrely. I would badger my husband senseless if he started frequenting them.

This entry just cracked me up! WTF? I just don't get it, LOL! Love the tripod bags in the previous entry too, what a cool idea! Just catcing up here, I'm officially on spring break now, I'll be around to bother you lots over this next week. Still crunching?

I'm glad to see the use of "gentlemen's club" in reference to this sort of place bothers others as well. I guess they are not using the definition I think of most often when I hear the word, "a civilized, educated, sensitive, or well-mannered man: He behaved like a true gentleman."

Maybe the obvious absence of that other animal is meant to make people ask, "Where's the beaver?" And the obvious answer is...

Anyway, very interesting creatures and slimeball's amusement park you've photographed. I've been thinking I need to take a picture of the world's largest lizard. Get your mind out of the gutter! It's on top of Exotic Pets in a nearby town. I said exotic, not erotic! And that brings to mind another question. Why are they exotic dancers instead of erotic dancers? Hmmm, I wonder what kind of hits you'll get off of Google now.

Wow! That's the biggest log I've ever seen! ;)

Oh, the next time I'm in Sudbury (which is 2 hrs from the island I live on), I'll pick up the training chopsticks for you ;)

Have a great weekend!

Squirrels and nuts. thats an easy one. Badgers belong to the same families as weasels. I see the connection.

Beavers are busy little creatures -- industrious and dependable.

Great photos of big furry animals. I will have to bring up Joy's propensity to large things at our next bloggers breakfast. I have no idea where the largest log is, but I have seen the biggest kielbasa; lucky it isn't in that backyard too.

So do they have the world's biggest adult toys in that Gentlmen's Club? LOL I agree that a Beaver would have been better advertising than a badger LOL

Why yes, yes I do like huge things LOL This is so funny. I would have thought a different rodent for sure but who knows what men are thinking when it comes to those kind of things. Probably meant to put a beaver up there but in their horniness ordered the wrong creature by mistake. If it was a women we would have insisted the rodent be changed and the right one put up, but the men probably said "Meh. Good enough." Or who knows, maybe it's a secret weird club thing. I stopped trying to figure out men long ago.

I have pictures of these from when my kids were little, we were on our way home from a stay up by Minocqua and stopped because the kids were fascinated by these giant crazy critters. I have you in my reader now :) I love meeting fellow WI bloggers also.

The Badger and Squirrel preceeded the gentleman’s club (Though I think the name is an oxymoron, as there are no gentleman’s in those clubs) can’t recall what it was before it was Northern Exposure. Wisconsin is the main producer of these large animals. Wish I could remember the manufacturer
