As a condition of stripping at T's Lounge, Octomom won't be going bottomless. Because when a man peers into that dark, dank bottomless hole it shreds his soul into stank tainted confetti

Cerabino: T's strip joint gives 'Octomom' pole position Frank Cerabino
We here in the news business frequently develop areas of expertise in our reporting, becoming, over time, sponges for developing stories in a particular field.
For example, when a hurricane approaches, Eliot Kleinberg is your go-to reporter. And it's staff writer Kimberly Miller who has waded deeply into South Florida's foreclosure crisis.
As for me, well, I knew what to do on Monday.
"Somehow, I expected your call," Gary Odle said after picking up the phone.
Odle is the owner of T's Lounge, a West Palm Beach strip club that has pioneered everything from creamed-corn wrestling to strippers trained in the use of defibrillators in case they overstimulate the male clientele into embarrassingly timed heart failure.
These are just a couple of the reasons why I have the pole position for breaking news at T's.
So it made sense that when the news leaked (oozed?) this weekend that Nadya Suleman, the California woman better known as "Octomom," was coming to T's next month to launch her new career as a stripper, I had better get right on it. So to speak.
"I've been wanting to get her to come here for a long time," Odle said. "I first asked her to be a celebrity bartender, but she turned me down."
Suleman, a single mom on public assistance, became a D-list celebrity three years ago for giving birth to octuplets after having six previous children through in vitro fertilization.
She probably imagined her sudden celebrity status as a lifetime achievement.
But the recent public chronicle of her life suggests that Octomom's fleeting ticket to fame might already be cashed: She filed for personal bankruptcy this year. Her home is on the brink of foreclosure, and she has had no steady job prospects. Oh, and there are those 14 kids.
Considering all that, stripping at T's Lounge probably didn't sound so bad, especially since it followed a recent photo shoot that involved her being covered in SpaghettiOs, and her role in an upcoming solo-performance pornographic movie.
Odle was able to get access to Octomom through Amy Fisher, who is better known as "The Long Island Lolita," the 17-year-old girl who became notoriously famous 20 years ago when she tried to kill the wife of her 36-year-old boyfriend, Joey Buttafuoco.
Fisher's long journey with notorious fame landed her a stripper's gig at T's Lounge in December . And her connection to Suleman is that both women fought each other in New Jersey last year in a three-round Octomom vs. Long Island Lolita boxing match.
I guess you could call that asocial networking.
Odle said he's not quite sure what kind of stripper Octomom will turn out to be.
"Supposedly, she's working on a pole dancing act," he said. "Hopefully, she does more than just stand there."
So far, the only condition of her performance is that she won't go bottomless.
"That's OK," Odle said. "I'll take bottoms-on. She's more of a celebrity than a porn star."
Suleman's week of shows at the club will begin July 11, the day of her 37th birthday.
What's she going to do with all those kids?
"I don't know how many hotel rooms I'm going to need to book," Odle said. "Maybe I'll need 15."
