Fantastic word game

Illusions Dance Club in Wolcott, CT was the place where the barmaid gave MarcB a dirty look for leaving at a respectable hour, instead of hanging out and blowing money.

 

[quadraphonic]

Blowing money and expecting to get something in return is undoubtedly all part of the illusion.

 

[dmargalotti]

The illusion that you are getting something in return for your money will soon vanish into thin air when you realize you spent your last few bucks on beer instead of burgers.

 

[MarcB]

You spent your last few bucks on beer instead of burgers is something that won't happen to me because I only get one beer when I go to the club.

Thanks for the shout-out guys.

 

[dmargalotti]

The club is a place I only frequented once in a while even back when I was a wild young man in search of an outlet for my youthful exuberance.

 

[quadraphonic]

Youthful exuberance, and likely many other things, are grossly misplaced and misused at a place named after Illusion.

I guess that's better than "Rodent's" though. At least it leaves an air of mystery and hope.

 

[dmargalotti]

Illusion, the nightclub apparently has nothing to do with The Grand Illusion which was a studio album recorded by the group Styx and released in 1977.

 

[Silkie]

In 1977 we were pumping our neurons, exercising our minds, studying 40% of the time and partying 60% of the time in college.

 

[quadraphonic]

The time in college I spent was also punctuated by the Guns 'n Roses album "Use Your Illusion" which I think came in a I and II, and which I keep thinking of when I come across the name of this hipster nightclub.

 

[Silkie]

This hipster nightclub is no different than any other nightclub, anywhere else in the country unless, of course, you consider our band camp lounge and book nook.

 

[Anyacat]

Our band camp lounge and book nook is the perfect spot for bookish bank campers who like to tipple while they read.

(I am struck by midwinter ennui.)

 

[WMC2006]

Read and study because when Anyacat is struck by midwinter ennui, you know she is going to be using 250 dollar words.

 

[MarcB]

250 dollar words are too expensive for this unemployed dude.

 

[quadraphonic]

This unemployed dude feels your pain, MarcB, but not enough to go Illusions Club-hopping yet.

Yet.

 

[dmargalotti]

Go Illusions Club-hopping yet be sure you've got a designated driver to get you home safely.

 

[WMC2006]

Safely park your vehicle in the unguarded lot at Illusions Dance Club and find another way to get home.

 

[quadraphonic]

Find another way to get home, but make sure on the way there, they will let you play your Olivia Newton-John CDs.

 

[dmargalotti]

Your Olivia Newton-John CDs replaced your ONJ cassettes which replaced your ONJ vinyl records and someday you hope to download the entire ONJ song catalog to your mp3 player so you can take her music with you where ever you go.

 

[raptusregaliter]

Where ever you go, someone will be in front of you holding you up.

 

[dmargalotti]

Up at the front of the supermarket checkout line is always the one person who waits for the cashier to ring up all her groceries and bag them completely BEFORE she begins writing out her check!
