"The Trophy"

Since the individual who asked me to write this story is still alive... possibly owns a rather intimidating large caliber handgun... and almost certainly knows where to find my sorry ass his name will not be mentioned to protect his innocence. However I must add that innocence was never a distinguishing trait of the individual in question!!!

San Dog, California a place called "Tango Lima" or more infamously known as the Trophy Lounge! Its this place on National City Blvd that's been around for a very long time. This establishment is a legendary staple around the 32nd Street Naval Base in San Dog where the clientele & the decor surely haven't changed since 1987. After walking in and paying the $5 cover charge to the ol' Auntie dressed like a gaudamn keystone copper... it's easy to see the place looked like it hadn't changed a wink in the last twenty years.

Walking in there's the musty smell of inferior booze... dim lighting and sleazy women with cheap perfume. Across the way is the disco ball hanging above a black and white checkered dance floor. Watch out when going to use the facilities in back... just above the ol' six foot long pisser stall is a collage of hustler and penthouse cutouts from magazines dating way back to the 1970s'! When head'n to the dance floor the dance moves have stayed the course as well, as you may get pulled into the "Electric Slide" by some gaudamn Filipina cougar!! Noth'n but horny Crackerjack Sailors grinding up on the nastiest look'n ex hookers off Magsaysay Avenue in Olongapo of the Phillipines. All the pretty ones....well they don't ship from the islands anymore so they're all ol' cougar Westpac Widows now!

You see, back in the day many of these Filipina brides were young prostitutes working at a place out of Subic Bay in the Phillipines called Olongapo and Magsaysay was the main drag running through town. It was a Debauchery of beer and hookers which sounds like one of the largest depositories of vice ever assembled by man, perhaps it was but we loved every gaudamn minute of it, like an "Adult Disney Land!"

Inevitably, it seems that many twenty year old wives who spent their entire teens sitting around lurid bars enticing sailors into buying drinks and leasing a bit o' pleasure into their panties marketing true love, undying affection and intimate personal pleasure for the low price of 250 pesos or about $20 American dineros... a little slice of true love with the meter running the boys use to say. Now they do the same thing during the many months that their husbands are away at sea just for the price of drinks and a bit o' dinner at Lourdes after the Lounge closes!

The proximity to the Navy base ensures sufficient lonely men to keep these "WestPac Widows" comfortable for six months while the boss man is away! Other names the Trophy Lounge has been known for, "Home of the Fleet Widows", "Divorce Clinic", and "Adultery Hour".

But don't get me wrong, it's a run down hole in the wall and don't let the name fool ya! There's anything but a Trophy Wife in that place. It's a sultry little racket an them gals will nickle & dime you all the way to the bedroom if you let'm!! It's a gaudamn meat market, no bones about it and a great place if your look'n for a one night stand. Since there've been no more replacements after the Phillipine base closures back in 1991 it's become a top cougar bar in the San Dog area where the women prey on lonely young sailors look'n for a "Honey-Ko!" But being a Sailor from the good ol' days you might reminisce about hang'n out in Olongapo drink'n San Migoo in a gaudamn humid shit hole bar like Top Gun or the Sierra Club, "Hey there Sailor I be your Honey-Ko, you buy me drink! I love you long time no shit!!!"

So if any of you fleet idiots read this and recognize yourself, notice how I tactfully handled the subject with no reference to name, rate, or serial numbers!! Neither was the mention of the itchy dandruff in your crotch them gals gave ya to hitchhike back to the boat with.

Oh, and if you hook up at the end of the night don't go to Lourdes afterwards. She'll bring the whole gaudamn clan and you'll have to pay the tab!!!
