Aerial Views

Random Memorandum™ to the "Pole Aerialists” at Atlanta nightclub “Saints & Spinners": I received an errant Twitternet™ notice that a member of your acrobatic troupe is “Someone I May Know.” Please alert your online information steward that the likelihood of any association between the S&S airborne elite and Yours Truly Dooley® is unlikely. While I am a fan of aviation — indeed, my late father Aldridge “AJ” Johns was an officer in the Royal Air Force — I've had no occasion to visit “Hotlanta” and confess to having no knowledge of this place you call “Chocolate City.” A perusal of your web offering sheds no light on the matter, either, as I've yet to make the acquaintance of anyone named Lameka Sparkles, Fiya Starta or Diva Peaches. I do own a vinyl recording of the group “Peaches ‘n’ Herb,” but don’t imagine they’re still on the touring circuit. Your fan page dialogue also gives one pause, as references to "nip slippage" and “cock blockage” are hardly befitting a uniformed official of my standing. However, I'm not a prude and don’t doubt that you're a top flight organization whose pole pilots have earned their stripes for individuality, musicality and transitory sexuality. Your honorable mention in the Georgia Pole Competition is surely an indication of that! As to your question of whether I prefer “a round ass or a lean athletic core,” I would answer doubly in the affirmative. Haha. Alas, I must insist you remove my name from your news feed, but encourage you to aim high, sweet chariots of fire! To infinity and beyond!
