  1. What benefit do you expect to derive from being a member there, DIBS?

    1. You can smoke cigars
    2. You get a “full pour” when you order wine by the glass
    3. The restaurant is 5 star and he club was just rated one of the Top 5 Clubs in America”…bragging rights. LOL
    4. it’s a spectacular place

    But most importantly….

    The building in Philly is mostly brownstone!!!!!!!!!!!

  2. “I hope to hell when I do die somebody has sense enough to just dump me in the river or something. Anything except sticking me in a goddamn cemetery. People coming and putting a bunch of flowers on your stomach on Sunday, and all that crap. Who wants flowers when you’re dead? Nobody” – Holden Caufield.

    RIP JD.

  3. I get a pin. But more importantly I get to stand up in front of a room of my peers, mostly Republicans, and introduce my partner when I get up for my little speech. LOL

    This should be fun. It was only about 10 years ago that they let women become members!!! The whole process of joining was rather funny when there was no box to check other than Married, Divorce, Single.

    It’s funny now because he uses the gym and everything more than I ever will and has made a lot of friends, straight ones.

    But the real reason they wanted us to join is because, through another member at the time (my sponsor) my partner had two really big dinners there for his company. One of them had a flower bill alone of $10,000.

    So, in the ned, it’s just about money. LOL

    Although the UL is republican ( they have portraits of ALL the Presidents there but ONLY the republican ones) it was started as a worthy cause backing Lincoln during the Civil War…read the Wikipedia history, especially of the NY Club

  4. I don’t have the energy to read any of the ‘real’ (or this one) threads. Can someone peas give me a summary.
