You are probably ruling at the flip-cup table. Such a big contingent of the after-parties are the fact that the flip-cup tables are where all of the action is. That's right, every dog has it's day at the table. If you aren't very good at flip-cup well we suggest you start practicing during your lunch hour because amazingness at the flip-cup table will score you cool points (and sometimes a new trick). That's right, who likes to be on a losing team during flip-cup? We may have witnessed a new trend last season at the flip-cup table called "Spin the Bottle" flip-cup which heated up many a chilly Fall night last season, we just wonder if the trend will make a comeback in the Spring. Well 9 times out of 10 if you have just played a round at the flip-cup table you may notice...
People tend to spill drinks. Yeah we know it sucks, we hate when it happens to us. It's part of the lovely nature of any bar experience. So do us a favor, don't wear your new Prada shirt and Louis Vuitton boots when you know you will be flipping a plastic cup of Bud Light in the basement of Gym Bar. Plan accordingly. Also watch your cell phones and bags, do yourself a favor and splurge on the extra two bucks for coatcheck instead of shoving it under a table. It will save you so much headache in the longrun. We know you might not be keeping an eye on your jacket because...
You will be macking on some cute guy/girl. It's enivitable if you combine alcohol, the testerone of playing a night of dodgeball, the guys from Grindr not chatting you back, skipping dinner, and the looks from across the flip-cup table when you are kicking ass and taking names. Hooking up is human nature, it just so happens that BAD! has some of the finest ladies and hottest guys this west side of Manhattan. We don't blame you dodgeballers, hell we would hook up with them too if we looked like half of you! Our friendly suggestion would be don't cockblock your friends if you know there is some newbie they want to try to mack on. Just like cheaters, no one likes a cockblock, it's bad hook-up karma and it makes you look like a douchebag.
You will take off your clothes at some after-party this season. We know, we know, this is the one thing you say, "Nope not me, ain't gonna happen". When it's 2 AM and that pole at Henrietta Hudson's has been used more than pass around bottom at the Eagle, we won't hold it against you. That's because it happens to everyone. If it ain't at the flip-cup table, it's going to be on a bar somewhere, or perhaps on the stage at Pieces, or on the catwalk at XES, the dancefloor at Cubbyhole. Point being, you can't escape it. Everyone has their moment in time to show off their Fire Island frames, and hell some of you even make money off it. If your pretty and you know it, you will end up shirtless before the end of the night. Mark our words, and trust us no one is complaining. What's the point of putting so much time at the gym if you can't show off the goods every now and again?
We hope you dodgeballers don't disappoint us and make this the craziest season yet. Newbies, if you don't know what the hell you got yourself into, don't worry we know you will fit in just fine ;) Vets, don't take advantage of the newbies...too much. Be nice, it's their first week in a big new league and we are sure they will need a helping hand to guide the way in the beginning. Just remember, you were a newbie once before too. Ahhh, the more things change, the more they always seem to stay the same. xoxo 
So last night's end of the season dodgeball party was as crazy as expected. There were awards, there were shots, and there was lots of love from everyone. We made it out to Cubbyhole for the after after party, but from there it gets a little hazy. We just hope no one's night ended like this. xoxo
So we asked which guy was the hottest newbie this season, and well, it was a fight to the finish. While Gary from D-Tox fought the good fight, somehow Seth from C-IN2 came and stole his tap dancing thunder. Seth managed to squeak by Gary this week to come in second place, but even his squeaks couldn't stop Mezzano from cinching the title. Mike from Cubbyhole has been a fan favorite on gg this season, and if this poll is any indication, he is runaway train with no signs of stopping. A HOT runaway train at that.
With every poll closing, comes another poll opening. We are looking at all of the male vets and wondering which ones make YOUR blood boil? If you have any nominations, please throw them into the ring and we can start the poll with your suggestions so we don't leave anyone off *this time*. Please comment away and let us know who has been your flip-cup obsession, which guy you would totally bootycall at the end of a late night, and which one gets you so hot and bothered you turn into a blubbering mess on the courts. On second thought, maybe we just need to know which one you think deserves the title of Sexiest Vet. Keep the messes your little secret. xoxo
So we had a poll of which team was the hottest this fall in the league, and what do you know the American Apparrel team won that shit hands down. We have never seen such a commanding lead taken in a poll on gossipgays, ever! We have to give the Cubbyhole team some credit for attempting to de-throne the Angels of their title, but alas, they could only muster half of the votes. So do you think AA has the hottest team this season, or was Cubbyhole robbed? We think America may have finally gotten a vote right for once. xoxo
There is a debate that rages on every season, and believe this if you can, it isn't for "who is the biggest bottom". With every season comes a smattering of new and often delicious boys and girls, and for some reason you dodgeballers devour them like they are a buffet in the Plano, Texas. So the question is which newbie has captured the hearts and attention of BAD! this season? We think we have finally found our answer.
At the Eastern Bloc karaoke afterparty on Monday we practically fell off of our stool when Michael M from Cubbyhole got up to sing his pretty little heart out. Granted we had always had our eye on him on the court, but he rocked out to Alanis on the mike and somehow managed to get even hotter. So now the debate begins, is there a newbie hotter than Michael or has he signed, sealed, and delivered a love letter to your heart as well. xoxo
Save a shotglass, and drink out of a dodgeballer! At Cubbyhole, the new BAD! shotglasses came in handy as you would just put it on the bar and they would magically be filled. Although just like on the court, some people got a little too impatient. They started to just lay on the bar and wait for the bartender to come around. So environmentally friendly, this bunch. xoxo
Not that you need to give them another reason to drink, but it looks like Thursday may be the new Tuesday this week for those dodgeballers. It looks like their sponsors have opened their doors to dodgeball debauchery on a (gasp!) non-Monday night! Here is how it's going to go down:
We hear there is more info on drink specials and new stops to come! So if you feel like you would love to get to know some of BAD! crew a little better, with alcohol being the social lubricant it is, then head out to any of the various stops. As long as Poppi isn't pouring the drinks, we'll promise your boss you'll wake up for work the next day. xoxo
We totally called it from the start! After creeping on Facebook we stumbled upon some pictures of the ladies and their alternative after party at Cubbyhole. It looks like they were having fun, except we are confused at why it looks like a Lifetime movie is playing on the TV behind them (is that you Eva LA Rue?). The usual cast of characters were in attendance: Niki, Jess, Tarah, Bex, Dykey Mikey, Robin, etc. We just don't understand what they have against WOOF! Oh perhaps it's the bear daddies in leather harnesses?
So as we head into week 5, it looks like Gym Bar continues to dominate the league, see here. We could assume the large amount of veterans on the team might be an advantage in this newbie filled league, but we are sure the power arm combo of Kelly and Sanchez certainly doesn't hurt either. Speaking of hurt, why was everyone getting injured on Monday? First we saw James the Gym Teacher hurt his ankle in open play, and then we saw Dennis's finger get broken playing for Pets at Play. It's a league of hurt we tell you.
After the games the dodgeballers headed over to WOOF! for some much needed flip cup and $2 drafts. The flip cup was flying, as well as the peanuts (courtesy of Leven). We swear we haven't seen so many soggy nuts since the Black Party. Speaking of Leven he was getting quite cozy with a group of bears that were rather grabby, and we saw the biggest smile on his face that wouldn't stop. Eventually his smile faded when there was a heated exchange between Hank 2.0 ensued. We don't know what was said, but it didn't look pretty.
What did look pretty was when newbie Brian decided to start his flip cup game by swapping shirts with a fellow who's name we never caught. Who knew that boy was stacking under that Eagle jersey? We think it's a fantastic way to start our next game as well. We have never laughed harder than when we saw Vinny, who was sitting in a fragile chair, crash to the floor because Dom sat on his lap. Who knew those two could bend metal with their asses?
After WOOF! the after after party headed to Barracuda where some smooching started and some pouting happened. The pout was courtesy of a very somber Monica who apparently lost both of her games earlier. Honey we all like to win, but don't be Pouty McPouterson when you lose. There is always next week!
We didn't see any of our usual lovely ladies at WOOF! which makes us think there was an alternative after party. We hear the Cubbyhole is to blame, but then again who can blame the ladies for trying to get their dance on? The boys may like their flip cup, but we know those ladies sure love to dance. xoxo
We don't know what was in the drinks at Cubbyhole on Monday, but our spies report some frisky behavior went down and some very interesting pairings happened. Do we sense a new trend for this season? xoxo
Balls (literally and figuratively) were flying in the air on Monday at the final night of regular play for Big Apple Dodgeball. Flying so high that at least 5 people (that we saw) were hit in the face with a ball, and that wasn't even the tip of the iceberg (Kelly can't you just play nice??). We aren't sure if its just the intensity of final night play, some hidden animosity between players, or roid rage but whatever it was, it wasn't pretty.
When we asked Benji what he thought of reffing this season, he made this face and then proceeded to run to G Lounge for the after party. And what a way to end the season, we saw more couples pairing off than an singles cruise in Mexico. Perhaps Paul the Commissioner was just speaking to Spencer about the season, but we saw them get awfully close. Perhaps this wasn't the first time they hung out this week?Also what was the deal with the side meeting of the minds? We saw a heavy discussion happening with V leading, Sanchez nodding, Sergio dancing, Weeks looking pretty, Dom getting icy, and Monica itching for a drink. We hope they were discussing something VERY important for that long, you know how we like to be involved in everything! We were jealous we weren't invited.
It was off to Cubbyhole for the after after party and boy did it deliver. The boys and girls got together for the impromptu danceparty and hookups indeed. We love that Dykey Mikey found a new boy lesbian in Craig who was totally willing to join him in all things lesbian. And could it be two certain teammates have found love on and off the dodgeball court. We know one of them may be in a relationship but it didn't stop them from making out in the corner! Like we said before, the after after party is always where it's at, two turntables and a microphone. xoxo
Sometimes one party is just never enough for those dodgeballers. Last night after a fierce 9th week of dodging and weaving balls, some headed over to Stonewall (we hope no one ended up at G Lounge!) for some beverages and flip cup. Boy were they surprised by the brazeningly funny and frank drag queen who was calling out numbers for Bingo downstairs. We wish we could remember her name but we were so transfixed we forgot to ask! 
She got a lot of the dodgeball boys to do some dirty things, for just a shot. We loved it when she coaxed Thom to give a peek of his derrier for some liquor, but our favorite part of the night belongs to Gilbride. He not only got shirtless, but he got a straight boy, gulp, who was in from out of town on a class trip, double gulp, and was about to head to military college, we just died, to give him a kiss on the cheek. We were wondering if he was gonna slip him some tongue, but Gilbride's way too classy for that naturally.
Oh and there was a fierce game of flip cup upstairs but we got so hazy from all of the shots, we hardly got the chance to play. Then we headed over to Cubby Hole for Niki's "Un-birthday" party. We are still a little unclear about what we were celebrating, but we don't need a reason to take down some $4 Mojitos. The ladies were in full effect, but we think the guys outnumbered the girls for the first time ever at Cubby Hole!
We loved the music, but we didn't like the cold. So many people had jackets and bags that were shoved in the corner, we are suprised we found our jackets at the end of the night. Luckily nothing was stolen and we got the chance to dance our asses off at the music selection, Dykey Mikey was that you had us rocking out to Gun and Roses?
We are actually starting to think the after after parties are becoming all the rage. While calling out to work on Tuesday shouldn't be a weekly thing, it may be worth it from time to time. xoxo
So last night we were fascinated by the debates as much as anyone else, and Obama totally rocked it out. The only problem we found was he was looking well a little less black than usual.
In fact he looked downright orange. We wonder if he totally stole Lindsay Lohan's phone, called a tanning salon, and made a last minute appointment to come off as hip and trendy. Maybe it was because we were watching it in High Def or maybe we weren't as fascinated by McCain's combover as usual. Whatever the case may be, we completely think we figured out who this "Joe the Plumber" character is....
We saw her at the Cubby Hole once at the jukebox, and when she said her name was Joe it made us think of "Facts of Life" and the crush we had on Nancy McKeon growing up. Little did we realize how much the candidates were gonna talk about Joe and her issues, and have her be such a central part of the final debate for president of the US. God did Nancy McKeon make us wanna buy a motorcycle so bad.
Two veterans showing you how it's done.
This is when we think Niki really realized she LOVES sangria.
Poppi laying down the law the way it was meant to be laid: by her!
Nobody ever took that stage solo, there were back up dancers, back up singers, hell there were even girl groupies, just like the rock stars have.
Some of our favorite renditions of the night included V showing Whitney crack IS wack with her take on "How Will I Know", Niki killing it on "Faith", and Anne (who maybe needs her own show in Vegas) showing up Cher with "If I Could Turn Back Time".
Like with any super secret party, you always have the party crashers, not that anyone minded. It was when the boys showed up did everything really start to get blurry. We are still convinced there were several staredown's when the ladies started to couple up and wonder off. We tried to find Poppi and realized she started a peace circle outside!
We did learn that Russell could rap to Lil' Kim, and he was totally gangsta. Who would have known such a sweet looking guy could get down with the queen bee?! Eventually the ladies needed a break from performing and headed to the Cubbyhole for the after-party. We knew something was up when the ladies pulled up in a car with 9 of them squeezed in! You heard us right, they piled 9 of them in one car! Girls it's only 3 blocks away, the rain really wasn't too bad.
At Cubbyhole, $2 dollar margaritas were inbibed and the jukebox was taken over. We saw some of the ladies defend their male counterparts against cocky patrons in the corner (You Go V!) while others jammed out to Guns and Roses.
Moral of the story, if the ladies go out, you better hope you are invited or find a way to crash the party.
