The most disturbing part of this story was doctors having to "Deglove his penis".........And that's my cue to nope the fuck out of that one. I don't even want to know what degloving a penis means.

The tit shows weren't as risque as I expected. I found the food lacking but the one thing that disturbed me the most throughout the city is that chefs routinely smoked in the kitchens while they cooked. I've been to Paris dozens of times (as it was my hub to Africa) however, I've only vacationed there 3 times. In my stays I alternated several hotels between the Opera and Montmartre areas. I appreciate historical relevance but after having walked the Louvre a couple of times I don't care to see a museum ever again and if you've never been to Africa you can save a trip by visiting the British museum in London the only thing they didn't raid and steal are the great Pyramids themselves. lol I digress sorry.
The romanticized idealistic vision of them is much better than it is in person unfortunately. Bad food, loud tourists crammed in like sardines, cheap champagne, and sub par talent dwarfed by that of the burlesque shows in New York or Vegas.
That said, because of their fame and history they are still worth seeing. I do have fond memories of sunset at the Sacre Coeur Basilica watching the lights come on across Paris with the Eiffel Tower in the distance, wandering the hilly winding streets of the Montmartre district to the doors of the famous Moulin Rouge with its neon windmill.
On other occasions, sans female in tow, I've had some fun adventures in the seedier areas of the Montmartre, though in recent years they've really cleaned it up quite a bitOriginally Posted by SpiceItUp
