US Embassy on the proper way to spike drinks

Looks like me and the girls are going to need to start a new line of "business" if this warning sticks.

Yeah! That's a tough line of business in an even tougher neighborhood. I tried it for a while, but couldn't make any money. Kept ending up with pickled Nigerians carrying Ethiopian credit cards.

[SIZE="5"]" yes, sah! please come my club! Big titties!!!!! Gahls. Many bootifool gahls!!!! I promise you BEST hand job! Guaranteed! Otherwise I will do it myself!!! Oh, we have complimentary drink for you, sah!"[/SIZE]

my first inclination is to go to these bars with a friend, order some drinks, and then not drink mine until my friend has finished thiers and is clearly not drugged, or vice versa. however it's a lot of work just to try to catch them at their game and probably best to just not go there.

Not that it generally needs to be explained, but it probably is not going to happen when you go two or more to a joint. However, it is your Joe Cool just off the plane and out by his lonesome, seeking to demonstrate superior FG cocksmanship to the local lasses, that usually ends up snoozing in the trash can out back of the bar with seriously empty pockets.

This thread made me think of who are the people doing this?

The bar staff?
Friends of the bar staff?
Non-connected to the club patrons?

The reason I thought of it was the fact that the credit cards were used - wouldn't you have to have an inside person in the club to charge one?

Sorry to be clueless here!! It is one of those days.

Ahhh, the cry of innocense. How is it that I always find Iraira pissed out, lying on the asphalt outside your place wearing nothing, but one sock and a muffler and holding a single bus token?

Ah yes - very interesting - but sadly not helpful to the question posed.

Have you ever held a government job?

Obviously, if the card is used, it will have to be an inside job i.e. outrageous bar bill. If it is stolen and used elsewhere it could be eitherway, but the chance of not having someone on the inside involved has to be pretty slim. Most places will notice when a dude has one drink and is pickled stiff, only to be carted outside by unknowns. They may not say anything about it, but most joints don't like that sort of thing going down every night as it leads to undue attention. The only exception is the chimpira run joints, who will be changing management as a cover every 89 days anyway and so they could care less.

I think this thread covers the general idea of the scam in question.

That was a bus token? I thought it was the pasty I ripped off of a bull elephant's left nipple. Over the years, I've built up quite a nice tolerance to Roofies, but with all the new disorientators out there who has the time? Plus, I'm sure that I'll pick the one that is dasai in Roppongi. Now, if you can get a couple Bufo alvarius...let's toad.

"Muffler"?

Yikes Greji, you really have been here too long!

(Hint: "Mufflers" silence engines. "Scarves" warm necks.)
(Addendum: I personally have been corrected on this one countless times )

You're wrong.

[Yokohammer]

You're wrong.

Yes. Frequently.

But I is? How so? (At the risk of taking the thread waaaay off topic ...).
Or is the secret in the winky smiley?

No, completely wrong. But, the mistake is understandable. You don't know Iraira! Anything that can keep him quiet for any length of time (two seconds on) is a muffler. Here is an example of a new one I designed for his use on cigar night.....

My choice of sleeping arrangements still beats you running around in your goat mask asking cigar night denizens, "Whip me, beat me, call me Edna!"

I find your slanderous lies, both annoying and libelous.

Besides, it was "Elsa"

I think somebody doesn't want to toot his own horn, but there's a very nice little summary of the story from one of the weeklies where they actually got some more detail on this trend and the latest practices in Roppongi.

Personally, since the moniker High Touch Town has been retired, I've started to refer to Roppongi as the Coma Gekijo.

I find your quote there to be from a highly questionable source. I have yet to see the Cap'tn go to a place where he hasn't been slipped a mickey. They usually drop it in his 25th or 26th beer and he goes right to sleep, so I would question how he was ever able to stay awake long enough to verify this article.

...Besides new complaints filtering into the police station, the U.S. Embassy's security warning has generated a considerable amount of online mockery among English speakers in Tokyo. Americans can't hold their liquor, wags say. Blogging on the Web site of the Times of London, correspondent Leo Lewis suggested that the American warning came about because a "mid-level pen-pusher" at the U.S. Embassy got drunk in a Roppongi strip club, ran up an embarrassing tab for lap dances and, when his wife got mad about the credit-card charges, pressured embassy officials to draft the security notice. Unamused officials at the embassy stand by their warning. If Americans cannot resist the charms of Roppongi, the embassy said in the notice: "We urge you to remain extra vigilant of your surroundings and maintain a high level of situational awareness."
