Can Bare Cooper Busbar Surfaces Be Cleaned/Polished?

I'm still wondering what cooper bus bars are. Is that where all the Coopers get drunk before catching the bus? Or is it maybe barrel shaped bus bars? Or...? Wait - I just noticed those naughty Coopers are bare. I guess that bus is going to the nudist colony.

In some of the crowded areas of the larger cities traffic is a problem for commuters. In these areas enterprising people have devised ways to make commuting a little less painful. Shuttle busses will bring groups of people from a central point in the suburbs, to another central point in the city. These busses allowed a commuter to relax and read the paper, catch up on some work through a laptop.

In order to lure more riders their buses, operators started to offer more luxuries. At some point the "bus bar" was installed. In order to out do each other the bars became more elaborate. And thus was born the Brass Bus Bar.

In Miami last month they busted a bus that was equipped with small rooms and hookers. True story. Check out Miami Herald on web.

A taxi driver in Vegas went on and on about a start up called boob and lube.. It was supposed to be a place where you could get an oil change and.. more. He was going on and on about the investors and the other odd business's involved..

maybe I should google it.. I'm afraid it must have all been a taxi driver story... He was killing my brother and I with this story.

One-stop BOOB & LUBE: Pizza/Lube Adult Entertainment and Laundromat

I'd forgotten all about this until the story hit the local papers, and it's a fucking riot. About a year ago, this guy, this hillbilly redneck idiot, takes out a series of ads with our paper for his – I shit you not – One Stop Pizzeria, Express Lube and Laundromat. This is a shack out in the middle of nowhere on a two-lane highway between two of the sleepiest little backwoods towns in Tennessee, Baxter and Gainesboro. I wish to god I still had a graphic of his ad. It was simply indescribable: in addition to the pizzeria and oil and lube, there was a tanning salon (ONLY $29.95 per month!) and full service laundromat. But our entrepreneur was just getting started...

Shortly after his ads ran, we got word that he had opened a strip-club – first the "One Stop Gentleman's Club and Sports Bar" and later the "Costa Rican Beach Club" - on the premises. To put this into some sort of context, you have to realize that there are only about a thousand households in all of Baxter. People around there expect to see deer and wild turkey, not wayward titty-bars popping up in the woods like crack-ho's from some dank corner of Nashville.

The main act consists of his Brazilian wife, fresh from her stint as cashier at the Pizzeria and Oil Change place (for all I know, she changes the oil, too), now swinging her titty-tassels for the occasional traumatized soul who wanders in looking for an oil change or to do his laundry.

The story in today's news is a comic gold mine:

Because he opened the club at nearly the same time that the county adopted the Adult/Oriented Establishment Registration Act, Flatt said it was legal because no adult entertainment codes were actually in place when he opened, while the county said that the Adult Registration Act was in place before Flatt opened the Costa Rican Beach Club and it fell under the authority of the Act.

The county took Flatt to court for a decision on the matter.

"This is killing my business because the girls have to wear bikinis," he said. "There's more skin shown on HBO than in my place."

In March he told the Herald-Citizen that he was going to close the businesses and hold a public auction in April.

But today Flatt said that no one showed up at the auction and he decided to reopen the One Stop Market and the new Club 56. He closed the One-Stop Lube shop.

"There's no more boob and lube," he said. "I did hate that name but that's what everybody called it."

He says now that he has plans for expanding Club 56 to include a dance floor.

"People can come there to have music, food and fun. If they want to eat and dance they can, if they decide they'd like to watch the girls they can just walk to the show."

well there's at least one sad potential customer driving a taxi in Vegas..

ok, we've got bars in buses so I suppose getting a buzz at the bar was sure to follow.

I would rather get a buzz in a bus bar than a buzz from a buss bar.

Commuters getting buzzed while commutating on a bus bar.

An electronics professor of mine told a story of being stationed in France at a radio transmission facility while in the Navy. The CO, being ALL NAVY, wanted everything clean and shiny in the transmitter building, especially the bus bars. After all the oxidation was removed the transmitters were down on output power. Something to do with the conductive properties of the oxidation layer and high frequency. I don't recall the details. The CO was transferred.

Jaguar, If nothing exceeds like excess, does nothing succeed like success?

Does that make congress the opposite of progress?

"Too bad the previous 14 posts are so shitty. A simple, reasonable technical question begets trash replies. Grow up guys."

Regarding the last 14 posts, lets see: one guy suggested a dry ice blasting, another walnut shells. a couple of suggestions for chemical approaches. One for a good old wire brush. Any of these might work well.

And some humor thrown in as we once again prove that engineers can't spell. Appropriately labeled as "off topic."

You suggest blasting or sanding (no media specified) and then prattle a bunch of "specs" without reference. And your answer is superior because...it is verbose? It sounds pompous?

I suggest you get a sense of humor and a life. Then lean that your vulgarity isn't appriciated and is certainly not professional. But nice to see we have an expert amongst us.
