Just Your Average American Dad, Pole Dancing

thumbnail icon: Just Your Average American Dad, Pole Dancing

The best thing about this guy is that he TOTALLY OWNS the fact that he videotapes himself practicing pole dancing in his makeshift basement covered area on his homemade pole. He even puts up subtitles when his wife calls him in for dinner, just so we don't miss it. Either he's living a totally honest life of abundance and joy and simple, if unusual pleasures, or he's found an ingenious way to explain his weekly strip club jaunts to Lori, or this is a viral video for Gatorade or something. Either way, BRAVO:

His description of this video says dinner consisted of biscuits and honey. Yum. Also, he says this in the comments:

THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID.

wherever he is looks like one of those torture/rape chambers from every other episode of Law and Order SVU.

My favorite part is how one of the "Pole Resources for Newbies and Pole Addicts" (?) is his wife's excellent beef stew.
This has to be selling something.
Does anyone see any ray bans in the video or something?

His comments are incredible:

"Ohh...I know. The pole was actually HOT to the touch and had gotten nice and grippy. With another hour, I might've gotten my butt up higher and straighter. I printed up some stills from the exact moment I got both my feet up and my butt is sticking out kind of goofy looking. Don't think I'll print those up--might get some funny looks at the drugstore, LOL! So I'll try it again in a few days and straighten the move out if I can..."

The song is "dance pretty MAMA" not papa.

Kudos for trying but it ain't as easy as it looks now is it? :)

given: jogging is queer
and: gymnastics is fucking impressive as all hell
and: strippers are the world's sexiest beasts

fact: this particular middle-aged dude chose to get in shape most spectacularly. WIN.

Joel is a total sweetheart. No this isn't a viral video, but who knows, maybe some company will call him one day for an ad!

He is a very sweet and supportive member of the pole dance community, he always has nice things to say.

KUDOS JOEL!
