Let me say this about that. Well, dear LMSTAT readers, this marks the end of the week-long miniseries on The World’s Sleaziest Bars. The four that have been featured so far are truly world class…you have the word of a recognized sleazy bar aficionado. Unfortunately, unless I start another blog on this subject alone, I must […]
Let me say this about that. Part of what makes a great sleazy bar is the cross-cultural, mixed bag, mongrel ethnicity of it’s patrons. It is, at the same time, the best and worst examples of the human species. If it is true that the patrons of “Genevieve’s Bar” in Singapore were made in God’s own […]
Let me say this about that. Someone once said that: “Old bars never die, they just smell that way.” But, lets be honest. Which would you prefer …….. the dank, musty smell of an old sleazy bar, or of say, a dentist office? That’s what I thought. There is one sleazy bar, however, that may never […]
Let me say this about that. With apologies to Humphrey Bogart “Of all the bars in all the world …… ” give me the sleazy ones (that last part was mine). Sleazy bars are home to a rare breed of animal that is comfortable with who they are, have no desire to change their station in life, […]
Stewart at The End of the World [AUTHOR’S NOTE: This post is the first of five in this week’s miniseries on the ‘World’s Sleaziest Bars’.] Let me say this about that. I love sleazy bars.

Shambo is working on another planet today, so please enjoy a “Classic LMSTAT”! Let me say this about that. OK. I have a question. Why do you need a license to have a dog, but you don’t need a license to have a kid? Hmmmmmm. Why are we even required to have a license […]
Let me say this about that. When I first decided to do this blog, my friends advised me to ‘write about things you know’. Sounded like good advise to me, so I pondered a few days on numerous subjects upon which I fancied myself an expert. Engineering, mathematics and logistics were certainly a possibility as I […]
Let me say this about that. I hate to complain, but isn’t life complicated enough without all the worthless crap we’re exposed to every day? How many of us have experienced the annoying sound of a car alarm blasting away with no one lifting a finger to investigate? Has there EVER been a car alarm […]
Let me say this about that. You may not believe this, but there are actually stores in the United States that sell totally worthless crap. I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP! If you are a guy, it’s inconceivable that there can be a business that makes a profit by selling objects which have no purpose. […]
Let me say this about that. Last week, LMSTAT produced a list of the 10 most beautiful places on Earth, based on the personal experiences of the author. These magnificent places are the work of the Creator, and did not make the list because of anything done by man. In fact, they made the list […]
