I’m In Love With A Pole Dancing Teddy Bear

What started it

Like several of my most memorable moments, this one also started out as a joke.

I donated a stick vacuum to Post 327 and placed a hugging teddy bear on it. I joked about putting a matching pole-dancing teddy bear on the support pole at the end of the Clubroom bar, until it wasn't a joke.

Someone tucked a fake $100 bill in the bear's tutu.

That led to creating an AI version.

Which led to me writing a song and using AI to create it.
