Thunder from down under

Well, this will be my first entry. "Thunder from down under" is a group of male dancers that perform in casinos around the world. We had the displeasure of their presence at Caesars Windsor this past weekend.

The Colosseum was packed with over 4500 women (and 12 men), and to their utter pleasure, were treated to the near naked aussies that encouraged screaming and moaning throughout. The cheese factor of the show was off the charts. There were times (as camera op) that I really did think I was going to vomit a little in my mouth. Some of the best highlights of the evening included:

**The 'spartan' sketch, where the dancers come onto the stage in their finest warrior getups to the themes from 'Rocky IV' and 'The Matrix'. Hilarious sword wielding and martial arts did not disuade the women from clawing at their own eyes with utter pleasure.

**The 'audience participation', where 4 lucky women were brought on stage and asked to fake orgasms. One actually did well, where the other 3 left me feeling incredibly embarassed for them. Nonetheless, it was very horrifying to witness.

**My favorite part of the evening (other than the end) was when one unlucky woman was brought on stage and given a dirty dance. The entire time she fussed and pushed at him to 'NOT DO IT'. The finale was when he dry humped her on stage and she nearly had a nervous breakdown. I think her Mom was watching or something. Priceless.

So, even though I'm sure it was a successful evening for the casino, it was a traumatizing experience for me. I can't really complain, because 90 percent of the shows we host are excellent. This however, can only be tolerated if it happens once a year, if that.
