First Episode Tonight - My Time in Las Vegas

By Lawrence on June 3, 2008

Hello there - Lawrence here. The folks at Travel Channel have given me this forum to share more truth about my series. And you know me, I'll never knock back a chance to share truth. Unless it's strapped to a lie detector in front of a live audience - that's just silly.

Anyway - I'm told you want to know what really happened during our trip to Las Vegas. Well … I can tell you some things … but I must confess there are bits that remain a blur. Apparently there was real alcohol in all those drinks I'm seen consuming. I suppose I should've known that. But at least I'm fairly certain I didn't do anything too embarrassing with those very nice bachelorette party girls.

Alright - the facts. First, the strippers. The young women were extremely accommodating. And I mean that in the politest way. Not the other way. Some of that extra footage you see across the web features the women with … well … with their tops off. I will tell you that took a little persuading. We assured them we'd be tasteful, and I think we were in the end. Respect is an important weapon in any trutherist's arsenal. So's a good pair of nail clippers. They are very handy. But not as handy as respect. Check out a sneak peak:

The Boys from Thunder from Down Under were incredibly friendly. Warm, gracious, and in case you're wondering - not gay. They told me to tell you that. I must confess dropping my trousers in front of screaming American women was a genuine thrill. It was like bathing in a warm, friendly chocolate sauce.

Same goes for our 'Elvis' at the Wedding Chapel. That gentleman, named Brendan, could not have been nicer. Tall buggar - and chock full of charisma. I will admit, he is a better Elvis than me. That was difficult to type. I can also reveal I actually married a couple dressed as Elvis - the spirit moved me. Not sure if they're still together. Or sober yet.

Finally - a secret. We filmed a lot of extra material for this episode, as it was our first. As a result, several people did not make the "final cut". So I would like to take this opportunity to thank ventriloquist Michelle La Fong, lounge singer Mark Verabian magician Nathan Burton and Gregory Popovich and his very talented pets. You all gave me experiences I will never forget. Unlike the bachelorettes - I've forgotten most of that already. Alcohol must be stronger in the desert.

The episode is on tonight at 11pm EST. You don't want to miss this one!
