Trend Spotting: Dating Teams


We have discovered why there is a lack of hookups this season at the after-parties! It's because whole teams are going on dates with each other. It all started with a simple karaoke date between Penelope (or as we call them Penny's) and Henrietta Hudson's, it spiraled into a super secret hush hush brunch date between Penny's and Eagle, and now we see Eagle and Eastern Bloc are laughing over margaritas at Blockheads!

Guess the after-parties aren't where you are finding the action these days, it's when teams fall in love with each other and only hang out on the sly. Well, if you haven't started dating a team you better hurry up. It looks like Eagle and Penny's are trying to corner the market and date the whole league. xoxo

I got a better game. Whose's gg?
My vote goes to Chance. Oddly we don't hear from him so much this year. Who do ya think it is?

Chance said...

it's not me.

Anonymous said...

its a board member, has to be. Probably a couple people are GG, probably Vanessa and Steven M.

Anonymous said...

Ugh, it's the same debate every season who is it? Who isn't it is the question!

Anonymous said...

Those two are old news. It's someone new with bad grammar. My guess is Mikey.

Mikey said...

My’s grammar is always good. Whom are you to thinking its bad?

That being said: it's not me. I'd rather just post fun comments in the style of popular gay cult film characters mocking GG. But it's an honor just to be nominated.

The New GG said...

You know the funniest part of all you people in dodgeball, is you all fall for the same tricks every time. You think it's Chance because he comments all the time? You think it's Mikey because he's always running his mouth? You think it's V and Steve because they have been there and blogged that? Next thing you know you will all guess it's Linton because he's always that guy at the end of the night looking to start a conversation anyone or any object that will give him the time of day.

Well, all of you should put down your dodgeballs for once and pick up your clue phones because it's been ringing off the hook since the start of the season. There are a couple of us newish people to dodgeball that thought this site was how do we put this? DRAGGING. So we decided to spice some things up without totally straying from the original intention - the gossip.

So keep those guesses coming, because the more outlandish they are, the more we just laugh to ourselves. It's almost as funny as when we see y'all falling over yourselves at the afterparties to play Spin the Bottle Flip Cup with Mezzano.

The beauty of this site is it keeps everyone guessing, and if you were to play the game of "Name that GG", let's just say you may be here all night.

Good try, but maybe y'all should just stick to what you guys do best...drinking.

Yessss Queen! I love it! Keep it up GG, I love it when you get sassy!!

always yours

Anonymous said...

zzzzz.

anyway, back to topic, more team dates are planned this weekend!

Mikey G said...

GG, I don't care who you are, just keep the posts coming and I'll keep reading.

P.S. Team dates are the best thing ever and if your team is not doing them, then you're missing out!

We all "hang out" at the bars during after-play, but not everyone talks to everyone else. Also, not everyone comes to after play. Team dates are a great way to get to know people you either normally wouldn't talk to on a Monday night or those who you don't even get the chance to see.

There are a bunch of really cool people in the league. That's why they play dodgeball :)

Elephant said...

Well, New GG, the new direction you have taken the website is ........boring. Painfully so. For example, who cares about team brunches and more importantly who didn't know that they were happening. Here's a better example of the craziness: the post about t-shirt sizes! T-shirt. Sizes. Is that gossip? No gossip would be like "so and so, at one of the brunches, got so drunk that he confessed to being straight." THAT would be gossip cause everyone didn't know that already. Do you see the distinction?

Frankly I check this site at the off-chance that something you say might be a little bit funny. It rarely is. (Exception: the comment about Eric's B.O. True, that shit is foul.) The posts have turned into recaps devoid of any gossip. Maybe you guys aren't privy to the real dirt since you are "relative newbies" or whatever...I don't know. But whatever the reason, it saddens me that the site has lost its edge.

ohhhh...and its probably not a good idea to mock your audience. ("Good try, but maybe y'all should just stick to what you guys do best...drinking.") As you might have noticed the post about this week's post play party at Rock Party got like half a dozen comments. That's pretty weak. Any guesses why? Cause it was boring. And everything mentioned was clear to anyone that was there. Dig deeper. Talk to the old people who wrote GG and ask them what's really going on if you're not "in the in crowd."

Having said (rant?) that...here's my official guess as to who GG is. Considering Lukus guest wrote for GG last year and the same feel-good-not-so-gossipy writing style was used, my educated guess is that him and his friends (See: Brazilian crowd) have taken the reins of this dying horse.


....just sayin'

Daniel said...

Ummm, if I had anything to do with the running of this website, you'd see an improvement in grammar, spelling and humor.

XX

Daniel

PS - Lukus didn't actually right that post. Not to be, you know, obvious or anything, but... duh.

Daniel said...

... and don't you love how in the same post where I extol my spelling and grammar skills, I say "right" instead of "write".

Woo!

Anonymous said...

it's someone who's clearly not getting enough... so go down the list of the sexually inactive people in the league... and who really cares... it will continue with poor grammar or not... shitty stories or witty remarks...it will last because we're all hoping for something worth reading... something entertaining...because this whole thing is so hyped up... and we all talk...

Chance said...

@8:57

Cause clearly someone who's having sex can't have fun posting silly gossip about other people? Yeah, no one who's having sex HAS EVER GOSSIPED IN THEIR LIFE. Oh wait, no, that's right, cause as whorish as this league is, we all know gossip comes from those that are getting laid just as much as it comes from those who aren't.


And seriously, is it that hard to just NOT READ gossipgays if you hate it so god damned much? Let those of us that find it entertaining enjoy and you go back to trying your damnedest to look cool by sticking your nose up at it.

f'real y'all

Anon 8:57, I feel as if you should go get some yourself. "it's someone who's clearly not getting enough... so go down the list of the sexually inactive people in the league...and who really cares... it will continue with poor grammar or not... shitty stories or witty remarks.." Excuse me, where is your website then? Are you always grammatically correct? If so, then props to you for getting Merriam Webster to be a bottom.

Tim said...

agreed... if people don't like it... don't read it... people take things too seriously... it's meant to be ridiculous/stupid fun...

Anonymous said...

I'm starting to feel like GG thinks it's God's gift to gays lately. Take note GG: You are not the poo, even though we all may still take a big whiff. Reporting on events that everyone saw at after parties is not "gossip." Dig a little deeper and pick and choose better stories to report on. We don't need to know the stupid shit.

It's also painfully obvious that Andrew Wind is the new GG. I mean really.

Oh - and the new team "outings" are very reminiscent of the Eastern Bloc/AA love last season. Just another excuse for teams to feel like elitists in a giant herd of sheep.

Chance said...

Precisely how the fuck is two teams getting together to have fun "elitist"? Seriously, explain that to me.

Anonymous said...

Hello anonymous commenter 12:16,

Let's get two things clear.

First, I'm not GG. If I was, this blog WOULD be God's gift to gays. In fact we wouldn't even be having this conversation. I'd dig up dirt on you and every other sniveling crybaby so deep and dirty and put it online so fast, you'd take a razor to your wrists in a cold shower at the Tony D.

Second, it seems you have some damage about not being involved in the Eastern Bloc and American Apparel love festivities last season. If these resentments are lingering because you thought we intentionally excluded you, let me clarify so you can exhale: chances are we did.

Now I invite you to grow a pair and attach a name to all this triviality so I can comment twice tonight and tell you about yourself.

Sincerely perturbed,
Andrew Wind

Chance said...

<3 Andrew

also <3 Eric who I'm pretty sure is one of the comments higher up.

Just in general <3 the Holograms.

Cinderella, not GG. said...

Awe, Elephant...

You chose an animal that represents you well; clumsy and predictable. Could it be your jealousy over more graceful animals that causes you to wish the 'GG horse' would die?

I was fairly certain it was second-grade obvious that the "guest post" made by me last season was made by anyone BUT me. I appreciate... wait no, not appreciate... what's the word for when you don't appreciate someone making the anonymous insinuation that you and your friends would be boring or bad at doing something? Oh yeah, you're an ass. Anyway, glad you put your two cents in over who you think GG is. You were wrong.

Don't hate on other people for having a little fun. It's not a good idea to take a dodgeball league (or the gossip website attached to it) so seriously. (Unless they're pro... in that case, it's dead-serious and I'll thank you to remember that.) Getting all worked up because you don't seem to enjoy the thing you continue to read time and time again is crazy. It reveals a certain sadness or longing within the 'rant'er; something that drives them to look for greater meaning and importance in any possible place they may find it.

I echo another another commenter's thought... start your own gossip website, elephant. There's no reason why the free market can't decide whether people are enjoying GG or not. I'm sure you'll be great (Wait, again... what's the word when you DON'T think someone will be great at what they do? Oh yeah, you're still an ass.) and, considering how many people chose to actually put THEIR names next to what they had to say in disagreement to your feelings, I'm sure you've already picked out some people to gossip about.

Silly elephant.

All the best,
Lukus (Cinderella for Always)

BBahr said...

Can we make Andrew and Lukus the new GG's. Y'all better work.

Oh and this debate is ridiculous. That is all.

Elephant said...

OOOOO, that's something fierce Lukus baby.

First off honey, elephants are highly intelligent. Not "clumsy and predictable." It is not good to start off an argument (rant?) with a blatant mistake. Kinda discredits the rest, you know.

Ok, that being said. Don't get your church outfit all wrinkled. I wasn't insulting you and your crew. It was asked who was writing GG so I guessed. If your feelings are hurt because I said that GG was boring now...you'll just have to get over that.

And eh yo, who is trying to make this site serious? I want funny...but I'll even take even slightly amusing.

And one last thing... economics. Tough topic, agreed. But free market/ invisible hand type arguments are not really appropriate when talking about a "product" that is free...like say a website associated with a recreational gay dodgeball league.

hahahaha said...

amazing SATC reference.

Ms. Jerrica said...

Ms. Wind you betta WERQ!!! You did me proud girl! <3 you too Chance.

@ Lukus, ... really? I've never seen this side of you. It kind gets me all hot and bothered, just a little. "Wait, again... what's the word when you DON'T think someone will be great at what they do? Oh yeah, you're still an ass." That is levels of sass that even I can't reach, well done huni, well... DONE!

PS- I'm so over you tired queens who complain about gossip gays when you're in it, and complain about it when it's "lame", are you ever happy? I agree with the people before me, don't read it if you don't like it, and leave us be! And BBahr's right, this is ridiculous.

Just Saying... said...

Hmmmm, coincidence or fate that both Lukus and Wind's writing styles have been described as funny, witty, and sassy, on a blog that has occasionally been funny, witty, and sassy? Oh and really Daniel bad grammar is never becoming, even if you are using it on a site that is rampant with it. Again coincidence or fate? What's the saying? When your back is up against the wall, the only thing you can do is point the blame in some other direction, even if it's painfully obvious you are guilty? Maybe I watch too much Law and Order?

Anonymous said...

No, you shut up.

Tawny Pennybottom said...

BBahr, this is ridiculous. Let's amp that up a notch.

Anonymous, I both agree with you and disagree.

Elephant, you're standing on my cape.

Cinderella, you're standing on my elephant.

GG, high-five.

Dear "Just Saying... said..."

Without delving into the current GG's merits as a blogger, let me point out something most people already know about Miss Wind. I'm a writer. It's my job, one at which I happen to be quite good. And more importantly one that keeps me quite busy. I have no time to be a gossip monger. let alone the desire.

Now that you know a little bit about me, let's talk a little bit about you. I can't assail your finger pointing fart logic enough. "He who denied supllied it?" Really? That's your best shot? "The lady doth protest too much, methinks" is a cliché for a reason. (Note to the Googling sub-literati: that's from Hamlet). But really the crux and crap of your argument is in the operative adverb "occasionally." Andrew Wind's responses are "occasionally" clever, I think you said? Darling, I do my blogging the way I do my men, properly or not at all.

Kiss Kiss,
Miss Wind

I'm not 100% sure what we're talking about, but I think I have an opinion:

Everything is fine.

Matt Bavaro said...

Stop Fighting. You're all pretty. Lukus - a little bit more than everyone else.

Strange Bird said...

When do we get to hear who is banging who again? I know plenty of good hookups. I refrain from spreading them, but I know GG must be in on the know of some of them. If not, some of you more tragic queens should inform them.

When do we get to see more flesh. Best hidden hot body or best newbie lay anyone? It's time to spice things up a bit. Some of you who don't have enough time to be GG should at least add some info. I'm tired of only seeing pics Ester, Ken or Wind posted on their facebooks.

I'm just saying...

Anonymous said...

Hmm, yeah. Let's talk about the best hidden hot body.

It's obvi Andreau B. He looks so scrawny and underfed in those shirts and stuff... but have any of you seen what he looks like withOUT the shirt??? It's like a surprise Christmas morning every time you log onto facebook. Ha.

Seriously though, who is it?
