After almost a decade of keeping this on the down-low (with the exception of the local Black college community knowing this), I am going to tell you about my funniest freshman experience.
I was a contestant in a "Wet Drawers Male Revue", yes I was a stripper for one night. Well, that was a funny experience in more ways than one, because I was topless, but didn't take my pants off (i just wore some tight black jeans). Also, I gyrated my hips nervously as if a cobra was going to bite my "goodies" if I got to into it too good. I danced like Tom and George did on the Jeffersons when they were accidently featured as dancers in a strip club.
Oh, and flyers were posted all over campus, with my name getting top billing. It had the names of all the other contestants, and then it read: "Special Feature, Rain "Erkel" Man, The Campus Mack." Y'know, if I had at least one good stiff drink before the show, I probably would have took off everything. Boy, I was the talk of campus for WEEKS!!
Another funny undergrad experience:
Well, two years, and two universities later, I was on the receiving end at a female revue at a nearby club not far from the university. Two women in skimpy bikinis were dancing around. The host was trying to get dudes to buy lap dances, at $25, $50, and $100 you get a private room, and dudes were tight on the cash. Don't ask why, but I figured "nothing from nothing leaves nothing" and paid $25 for an on-stage lap dance. Boy, was I NERVOUS--and lemme tell you something, at age 21 that was the first time I saw a nude woman--I didn't know what to think, but I was glad when it was over. A lot of dudes was upset with me, because I didn't get into it. Hey, maybe I'm just a little too old-fashioned but willing to be a little adventurous now and then.
But those were my moments.
