Clubable

The expression, " Clubable ", might seem like a mugger's estimation of potential victim, but in the present case we look back to Samuel Johnson's application of the term as a measure of an individual's fitness to belong within a select membership. With this in mind we pulled confidently up to the Poinsett Club in Greenville, SC, expecting an appropriate welcome.

We roused not even the parking valet. We wondered if the domination of the parking lot by Mercedes, Saab and BMW had displaced us. We suspected that it had something to do with regional discrimination. We guessed that Windveil Blue was not their favorite color.

We never imagined that the Poinsett did NOT have a reciprocal with JACO'S SPIT AND ARGUE Club ? Go figure !

You're hilarious, Mr. Bellows. I'm Aida Rogers, editor of Sandlapper Magazine(in which we have proudly featured Jaco's in Olympia). One of our readers sent us a photocopy of the story "The long and winding blog" from the P&C and I was inspired to check out your travels. You are having too much fun.

I'm getting you on our list of ideas. We've got about 400, but we never know what our publisher will approve.

Thanks for providing some laughs on this Tuesday.
