Small penis and no business sense. That is how I would describe the bouncers here.

No country can be perfect so I have to address a HUGE beef I have with Australia. The bouncers/doormen that control entry into the bars in Australia are, in a word, fukwits!! Large, knuckle dragging, steroid users on a huge ego trip. They seem to make up rules as they go along and do what they please (kind of like the crooked Liberal politicians back home).

On a recent foray into the pubs, in Surfer's Paradise, Queensland, a group of us encountered the massive ego trip and inherent lack of business sense.
We tried to enter an Irish pub, not a swanky lounge, not a fancy dance club. An Irish pub. Beer, a bit of music and good times. One guy in the group had on a sleeveless shirt. Just a zip up, hooded top. Not a wife beater (or singlet as they are known here) but a trendy athletic top. No go with the door ape. " Sorry you can't come in with out sleeves". He was told. Now keep in mind that the place looked half empty, and we were there to spend money. No one in the group was loud and drunk. Just one guy in a sleeveless shirt. Girls can come in without sleeves. They can come in with sandals and open toed shoes but guys ... no way. It is about the club's image and dress code the ape told us.

Luckily the guy was not a big lad and a girl in the group had a top that would fit him. Her top. They ducked out and swapped tops. Now all was cool. The guy, Johnny, now had a button up top with sleeves. No big deal that it was a GIRL'S top and screamed out that fact (see the pic). The bouncers let him in even though the top made him look like a huge flaming cross dresser.

Is that the image the Irish pub wants? We don't want you here if you have no sleeves but dress like a transvestite ... .and c'mon in!! Just to rub it in Johnny pranced about like a huge poofter just to piss off the bouncers.

Another night we were looking for one last beverage in the night club area of Darling Harbour of Sydney. Another door ape with ego stopped us. " $20.00 each to get in " he grunted. He had just let 3 young hotties go in with no cover charge but was out to extort some cash from us, which I am sure went straight into his pockets. 20 bucks?!! Was he on glue? There was only an hour left in until they shut down the bar and that place was not at capacity. Why do Aussies put up with this crap and even go to these shit bars? At least get a group of guys and beat up the ape and toss him into the harbour!

It amazes me that this sort of crap goes on almost everywhere and Aussies accept it. A door ape like that back home would have the place in
receivership in a month. Maybe Canucks are less likely to frequent a place with rules that change on a whim. Am I afraid of one of these big guys (with little man syndrome) reading this? Hardly, I have used words in complete sentences and not enough pictures, to look at, for them to even understand what I am saying. To all you door monkeys, don't blame the public because you can't get laid and the steroids have given you a little dick. Knock off the juice and come back to the human race you fukwits.

Now if you will excuse me, I have to go and change my shirt so I can go out!
