Spotted: Some dodgeballers getting their dance on (shocker, we know) and last night was no exception. The night may not have been as great as after-parties before, but for goodness sake, when will the bars finally book enough bartenders to handle all of the thirsty homos! It seems like after sweating their way through the games last night (how HOT was that damned gym) they were ready to get hot and sweaty with each other. The favorite of this season's newbies, Nick, is on a roll this season, and we think he may have dropped his last boytoy Sykes for Mr. Wind. They were a little too close for comfort last night, and speaking of too close we saw Mikey Guggs getting *awfully* close with the man many debate could be the best catch this season...Brian B. We saw some homos outside attempting to play cards (who play cards at bars?) and there was an awfully sweet message recorded for B. Chen (he went to the ER, what details please). We were loving the outdoor deck until we urgently got kicked off, but we caught one of our refs under some asian persuasion. Wait two bottoms doesn't exactly add up to a top to us. The old Eastern Bloc forced us to listen to their awful cheer (again shocker we know). Flip-cup was PG, and not to our liking. Eduardo was getting his flirt on but no more than Sergio. The man kicking ass in the Best Catch poll is still showing his underwear to barely legal boys. We guess some things never change. xoxo

Not Too eXESsive

Bottom's Up!
Tuesday, April 6, 2010
Rock Bottom?
The temperature continues to rise outside and things are really heating up in our little league as well. After a kumbaya-tastic weekend of outdoor play in the beautiful weather and a picnic that looked like it was more fun than any of the after parties this year (where was our invite???), tempers seemed to flare-up this past Monday. Perhaps it’s the lack of newbies or that the vets have all hooked up with each other already, but the after parties this season have been… lacking.
On the courts there was some great drama though. Eagle and Duplex went head to head for the first place slot and it was a great game. Endre and his sweaty sexy arms really dragged Duplex along, but Eagle wanted it too much and pulled through for the win. Sorry Duplex… no undefeated season for you. Although in a bizarre twist of fate Project Sandwich, or as they have dubbed themselves "sand-bitches" (how fitting), took down the once mighty Eagle for a surprise win. They were almost as surprised they won as we were. Also, we will never complain about having to hang around to shag late again.
We got to hear Jason K. of Woody’s and James the Ref go at it. Jason K. was not happy with James’s performance as a ref last night and lit into him. To which James replied to his rants by saying he was going to throw him out of the game. Jason K., sounding like a privileged Upper East Side celebutante, threw down his board status and told James there was no way he was leaving. Dearest Jason, buying a few pizzas doesn’t mean you get to behave like that. Even though James was probably high as a kite when reffing, he is still the ref and deserves some respect. And James, we agree with you: if someone is being a bitch on the court, toss their asses out (it makes for a better post)! Plus, we like it when you act so butch.
Then when we finally got to Rock Bar, we learned there was drama there too. By the way, we aren’t too thrilled with that space for after parties, are you? It was small, dark and it smelled worse than Leven’s arm pit in back, but hey, we have to pay our dues to the people on the back of our shirts right? Apparently, there was live music at the bar when the dodgeballers started to roll in and one of the performers was upset that they weren’t paying attention to him and his ukulele (no joke). He started singing a song where he screamed at the bar to “shut the fuck up”. Now, I know they banned smoking in bars, and now you can’t dance without a license, but talking? Luckily the guy realized that no one was listening to him and that no one wanted to listen to him and stormed off the stage. That’s show business!
With that tragedy off stage, they reverted back to real music and it was about time that Rock Bar earned its title. The tunes were pumping and not your standard dodgeball fare of Whitney, Britney Gaga, and Madonna. We’re talking some fierce 60’s, 70’s and 80’s tunes. We saw Stacey and her attached at the hip partner Jeremiah rocking it out to Tina Turner’s “Proud Mary” so hard that they made all us Mary’s proud. Although Stacey why the long face after what seemed like a bitchfest with Erika outside? We couldn't hear, but judging from your face, we are guessing you girls weren't discussing puppies and rainbows. Over at the pool table the ladies were knocking balls with some of the boys. Sergio was up against some fierce girls like Cyn, Tamika and Nicole. He got beat harder than Ike beat Tina on that pool table. Sergio, you’ve been voted the flip cup champion. Maybe you should stick to that. We also saw Jerry hanging around too and, we must say, we are happy to see him with those piercing blue eyes and a smile that would melt even Ricky Martin’s newly gay heart. The flip cup table played a very quiet second fiddle to what had our attention: the NCAA championship game. We are a sport league, right? So we put on our best butch face and pretended we knew what was going on. Everyone seemed to be going for Butler except Southern newbie Adam. What’s his story by the way? He catches like a pro on the court and he catches our eye at the after parties. He has that sexy deep voice, those gorgeous eyes, he's friendly to everyone (shocker we know) and that adorable smile. Adam, your North Carolina team won the championship and you’ve won us over with your charm, so keep it coming!
The party disbanded a bit and we saw a few vets leaving together, but we think it was just to share cabs. The recession has totally messed up our ability to discern whether people are going home together or just sharing cost of transport. Damn economy!! We watched all the cute boyfriends act, well, cute. Dom and his boyfriend, who has been hanging around a lot lately, were caught smooching innocently throughout the night. We even caught Steve with his arm around BBahr. It really pangs us to say it but that was actually pretty endearing to see. Maybe we were wrong when we said it wasn’t going to last… When we realized we didn’t have anyone to put our arm around except another $2.50 Alabama Slammah, we knew it was time to make a hasty exit. xoxo

You Say Goodbye, We Say Hello
The season is officially a third of the way over, and we have noticed a lot of changes this season from the last. Some of these changes are for the better, some for the worse and some for the more dramatic, our favorite being the latter of course. We obviously won’t cover all aspects of change in this post, and we encourage our vets to comment on what they see as the change from last year’s epic season to this year’s rather hum-drum season.
We have to say, American Apparel had to be the cutest team last season. They had Lukus, Vanessa, both Matts, and Castellano. Even Rob, who was obnoxious and self involved, was a looker. We couldn't help but giggle to ourselves watching Wind parade around the gym every week with that pink dodgeball. Not content being just pretty faces, they were fun, excitable and even their uniform flair boosted how cute they were. Off the court everyone wanted to be their friends and on this blog everyone seemed to want to be in their beds. But we seemed to have lost that sponsor and the Angels/Princesses (which was it by the way?) have been split-up more than Vinny and James. Then stepped in Penelope. Perhaps the cutest place on Earth to have brunch has somehow been blessed with the cutest players as well. The common dominator being Lukus (yes, yes, we are totally in the LFC: Lukus Fan Club, who isn’t?), but he has now been joined by cuties Dom, Giuggugiolioguoili (that's how you spell it right?) , Dykey Mikey and completely dreamy newbies Nick and Tamika. Even their team name, Inglorious Brunchers, is cuter than if kittens and puppies could mate under a rainbow. They may not be the best players, but we’d catch or throw for anyone on that team.
A whole diatribe could be written about how thrilled we are to see Eastern Bloc disbanded, but that would just encourage them to do that annoying cheer more at the after parties, so we’ll just focus on the fact that their annoying behavior stemmed from their loudmouthed captain, Mikey. All hatred aside, we are slightly jealous at how well Mikey was able make a team that tight, but we won’t miss having to hear him and his disciples on the court every week or watch their displays of public affections at the after parties. The good news is Mikey has been demoted to merely a player this year (obviously with much chagrin) and thusly cannot rally a new class of annoying teammates. The even better news is that now that Monica isn’t Mikey’s second banana, he has risen back to power and is the captain of Gaydar.net (make sure you check out their awesome shirts). We felt that Monica got a little soft playing with Eastern Bloc last season because of all the team love, but now, if the Facebook pictures are any indication, the fully agro, double throwing, Carrie Underwood loving heartbreaker is back and ready to rock the Tony D center. We’re also glad to see him rocking the after parties too. Steve, we love when you’re like this… Keep it up. Now if you were only single again…
Now we always love the ladies, and you never forget your first love. The first lady we fell in love with was none other than Niki. A woman who can pull off pigtails and still take out most of the best guys in the league with her mad throws and amazing catches is hard not to love. What we’ve noticed lately though is Niki has been getting quiet with age. We remember our first after party many moons ago where the flip cup table was dominated by Niki and she was unstoppable on the dancefloor. Now at the after parties she opts for a quiet moment with board members or sharing a drink with the other ladies in the corner. Well, thankfully our super fun lesbian spot has been filled by Stacey. This relatively new member has stepped it up this season. She’s made every after party a little more intense, stepped up her skills on the court, could out-wrestle Hulk Hogan and sings a fierce karaoke. Just as it was with Niki before, it’s hard to find a person in the league that doesn’t adore this lady. Maybe Niki has settled down because she’s found her soul mate Jacob, but that just gives Stacey more traction to keep up the great job she’s done in representing the ladies this season.
Mezz may have won the hottest newbie last season, but people, he has a boyfriend and he’s 100% faithful (read: boring). So we are moving the title over to Trevor, who caused quite a few waves last season and some even this season. We’ll miss Trevor’s vacant glances around the flip cup table (“Is he checking me out or still trying to figure out how this game works?”) but we’ll happily welcome the come hither bedroom eyes of Andreau. Andreau has already been busy this season and seduced a few boys with his oddly huge arms, mischievous smile, and seamlessly unending supply of tight, slogan-laden shirts. The worst part of it all is that Andreau also is incredibly NICE. We remember meeting him at an after party and *he* started the conversation with *us*. We were so flattered, that is until we realized he was that nice to everyone, sssiiiigghhhh. So gone are the days of forced conversations with Trevor (he's REALLY pretty, but too quiet and shy for his own good) and now are the days of endless flirting with Andreau and the endless fantasizing of him playing dodgeball shirtless.
After what we saw as a lukewarm attempt at being Commissioner last season, we have to say Vanessa has stepped it up this season. We weren’t sure she was even the right person for the job last season because she was following some incredible people before her. Paul the *old* Commissioner could command a presence like nobody’s business and ran the league with an iron fist and a devil's laugh. Vanessa came in a little weak, but this season she’s hitting her stride. We don’t know what happened down in Brazil, but she’s stronger, more decisive and shaping the league in a more fun, welcoming way. She’s even thwarted some of our best attempts at turning this league into a big gossipy mess (like with number 5). She’s also given a lot of respect to the sport we play. The refs are better, the rules are tighter and most of us have a pair of shorty shorts that would make Norman blush all because of her. Keep up the good work V.
Sticks and Stones
Well Stonewall started out innocently enough. A nice game of flip-cup in the corner, some harmless dancing on the other side, the old Eastern Bloc team making a scene with their weekly and highly annoying chant, and several dodgeballers carrying around pitchers of $10 beer. Yup, sounds like your typical Stonewall after-party for the season. There was love in the air as we watched our fair share of couples finally making good on all of that sexual chemistry that had been building since the beginning of the season. Rachel and Nicole getting down and quite dirty by the flip-cup table, Weeks and newbie Andreau making an impromptu trip to the bathroom together, and then there was the spectacle that was our favorite pocket gay and the guy with the Bo Sox hat.
Yup PG Tim is back this week, and he was ALL OVER Bo-Sox Boy on the couches. One minute they were making out, the next they were dry humping each other, we kinda felt like we were watching a Bel Ami video, right before it gets to the good stuff. Good for PG Tim though, last season we hardly could pick him out of a crowd, and now he's putting on a show that had all the boys jealous they weren't getting the same kind of attention he was receiving. We know there were phone numbers exchanged but we don't think they ended up sharing a cab. There's always the weekend...

Duplexal Tension
After a weekend of sunny weather and outdoor dodgeball action (did anyone else get as tan as us?), the merry men and women of BAD! came together on a dark stormy night. Not much happened on the court last evening, but off the court was a different story -which we will get to later. Open play was well attended and super fun. We must give kudos to the board for extending the open play time: well done! Then the only other mentionables is that Team Eduardo *we mean Eagle* finally had a game taken from them by Gym Bar (Gym and the Holograms = totally the cutest team name ever) and Project Sandwich ate their way to a well deserved victory. If you ask us, other than Eagle, there are no clear break away teams this season. Hmmmm, do you think maybe the board feted the teams? It also seems that they feted it so that no fun people ended up on any of the same teams. The overall attitude in the gym is pretty low energy if you ask us… What’s up with that?
Anyways, on to the good stuff: the after party at Duplex. It was quite funny to watch the dodgeballers roll in to Duplex all wet and when they got to the top of the stairs, looking around thinking, “Did I go to the right bar?” Don’t worry kids, you did. We know that Poppi wasn't there to ply us with drinks and Lady Gaga, but the post-game fun was just in the cabaret in the back. And fun it was. Perhaps you can blame it on Spring Fever, but the ‘ballers were all a bit frisky last night. Flip-Cup ruled the small theatre’s stage for the beginning of the night and everyone started to get cozy with a drink. Eduardo, Jacob and Trevor were arm wrestling in back. Apparently Eduardo and Trevor are all quiet on the hook up front, so there has to be a different way to release the sexual tension. We know Jacob would have been happy to help them with their "release".
Then Steve had the idea to change the game up a bit and do “Lip Sync For Your Life” a la RuPaul’s Drag Race. The idea had promise, and some of us were very excited to see which members would give it a go. But then it dawned on us: this was just another opportunity for attention whores (*cough* BBahr & Mikey *cough*) to beg for the spotlight some more. Luckily, we were treated to some guest stars that made us smile like Vanessa and Castellano, but our attention waned quickly and couldn’t wait for the awkwardfest to end. Steve: valiant effort, but let’s not do that again. We are still cringing a bit today at work.
With the lip service over, boys started to pair up and the new hot couple of the moment (Nick and John) was seen leaving together for a second week in a row. We wonder if they had to flip a coin for our favorite game, "Who's gonna bottom tonight?"… Then thankfully the flip cup table came back. We flipped for a bit and checked out the trade at the table, but what surprised us the most were the amount of girls that came to party. And they didn’t just sit in the corner and chat among themselves this time around. They are going to give the boys a run for their money this season. The flip cup was mostly straight forward other than a tepid attempt to get Truth or Dare going. Rumor has it that upper management is trying to put the kibosh on that game, but we’ll see how well they pull that off. Endre was throwing himself at Andreau the whole game, (can they be required to play with their shirts off this season?), Nicole and Jason traded shirts (how fierce is that girl?), we saw Bex bench pressing the boys (pocket gays at that) and guys were making out with girls (ew).
But then the royal rumpus started. Out of nowhere, Stacey, who spent most of her night in deep conversation with that blond bombshell Rachel just outside the party (Oh my! ladies Eastern Bloc was soooo last season) decided that winning last season’s “Loveliest Lady” contest wasn’t the only title she wanted: she wanted to win the WWE Championship belt as well. Like out of a scene of Wrestlemania VI, her and super cute Laura started getting down and dirty. Not that we were complaining, give the girls some jello and bikinis and we could make some serious cash at the next after-party. It was almost as if they were at a Home Depot super sale and there was only one power drill left. Stacey definitely had the upper hand but Laura held her own and thankfully when Stacey finally pinned Laura they were still all smiles. The lesbionic sexual tension was delicious. Keep it up ladies; we love when you party hard.
The night started to wind down, the music got shut off and the girls were reprimanded for wrestling, but WAIT! Jason K came to the rescue armed with pizza and munchies, and the remaining dodgeballers chowed down like they were fat kids at an all you can eat buffet. For the future, avoid all things garlic past midnight. It was at that point and we watched BBahr go home without Steve for the second time, mostly so Steve could stay and satiate his wandering eye on the flip cup table (even Stevie Wonder saw this one coming kids) and the remaining ladies and gentlemen made desperate attempts to find someone to walk home with in the rain. That was our cue to exit before we took advantage of one those lonely boys or girls. We guess when it rains, it pours. xoxo

Back In Action - Bigger and BAD!der
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?Friday, December 18, 2009
And The Winner Is (Thrice As Nice)...
Best HHB (Hidden Hot Body): Seth - looks like you figured out the secret behind this tall, dark, and handsome stranger. Now how do we get his shirt off more?
Spunkiest: Thai - C'mon is there anyone who bounces around the court better? Or for that matter makes playing look like so much fun? We think not. 
Lady you would most like to make your lady: Niki and Gladiator Jen - we love a good tie and who doesn't love these two?

Most agro on the court: Symmes - If you have seen this man play you will know why everyone thought he can be a tad aggressive when you are on the other side of the court.

Person You'd Most Like To Be On Your Flip-Cup Team: Monica - listen they don't call her the one flip wonder for nothing. If this bitch is on your team, you ain't got nothing to worry about.

Makeout Bandit: Gary - listen we have heard he's a good kisser, so why should someone hog all of his affection? He's cute, young, and well if the bottle at the flipcup table is any indication, he's got lots of fans.

Cutest Couple: Carolina and Lori - these two are so cute it makes us feel all tingly inside. Who doesn't love a happy ending?

Favorite team: Eastern Bloc - if you remember anything about this season it's how much team spirit this group had. From the chants, the playdates, and all of the group love, we hope an orgy video surfaces one day.
Dodgeballer You Like To Get Drunk With - Monica: Between this and the flip cup we wonder if she comes to play dodgeball or moreso to go out afterwards. There is no one more fun to have an end of the night drunken coversation with than her, that is if we can remember any of those conversations.
Most Likely to Sleep With After Seeing Them Play - Symmes: Listen he may be agro on the court, but apparently it's exactly what turns you all on. Ok so maybe being beautiful helps, but honestly, have you seen this guy play?? He would make a celibate nun wet her seat if she saw him at the Tony Dapolito Center.
Most Memorable Moment Of The Season: The Masked Ball - granted from what you all can remember of it, it was the shit.
That ladies and gentlemen concludes our winners. So did the public get it right? Did your favorites win, or do you demand a recount? Sound off and let us know what YOU think. xoxo.Thursday, December 17, 2009
End of the Season Treason
Hey Lukus here, and you may remember from the American Apparel team aka Princess Power (miss you guys!!), and I am going to be taking a look back at the shitshow that was the End of the Season Dodgeball party. Memories may be hazy, but I have the lovely Cinderella to help me and you piece together the night. And what a crazy night it was, well let's see where to begin??
Well there were girls! Cinderella had a crush on the one in middle, but don't tell anyone.
And of course there were boys. The middle finger was not appreciated! You ruined a photo of some of the hottest guys in the league! Shame on you, Cinderella will tell her stepmother on you!
And of course who can forget Ms. Effie, aka Kiki, doing her rousing rendition of "And I'm Telling You" from Dreamgirls. This was a season in the making moment, because duh her name is Ms. Effie. Keep on rocking it out!
The board talked and gave out awards. Cinderella and I can't believe these people run our league, cater to our drunken antics, and come back to do it again next season. They must have a glutton for pain! Or have a constant thirst for beer.
Eastern Bloc came and cheered, chanted, and then they sang a song about dodgeball that sounded familiar. They even gave gossipgays a shout-out! Cinderella was mad she was left out of the song.
Aw Carrie 2.0, don't cry over your mirror. You are still pretty. Wait, doesn't a broken mirror mean 7 years of bad sex or something? You may wanna find a way to break that curse, and fast!
So Cinderella and I don't exactly know how all of the dirty dancing started happening, but man people were getting DOWN! Niki is showing Koray who is boss and taking control of that hot turkish ass.
Cinderella was surprised that Michael C knew how to get that low?? Just enough stomach to make all the boys go crazy, your mother taught you well!
Wow this is a Cubbyhole sandwich I want to be in! Between Mezzano, Niki, and Jay I wonder if there's any room for a pickle? Mine of course.
Cinderella likes to call this hot picture of Trevor and I "Having a blonde moment". If this were the 50's we would be dreamboats or something.
So when people weren't dancing their asses off, they were showing a lot of love in the form of kisses. Boys kissing boys, girls kissing girls, boys kissing girls, I mean nothing was off limits. Especially for Koray!
Jacob - we see you too! We totally blame the shots Ciniderella kept doing with these two for this kiss.
This picture is so hot, when it hit the internet it caused a small forest fire in Central Park. Cinderella offered you lucky boys a coin to flip to see who could bottom first.
We told you! Boys kissing girls! What you didn't see was Niki's hand up Cinderella's ball gown. Sneaky devil.
Ok, listen Vanessa, Cinderella and I like Mandy a lot. So it weirds us out to see you kissing someone else, especially someone we don't even know! Who you be mystery man?? Cinderella is steamed and she is ready to take off her one glass slipper and throw it at that mystery man so run for cover.
Wow a 4 way kiss, is this a picture from the next episode of Jersey Shore? Well at least Craig the ref looks like he is having fun! Cinderella approves.
It was a crazy night indeed at Therapy, but it looked like all of you dodgeballers had mucho fun. All of this kissing and dirty dancing really got Cinderella all fired up. You can see how my night ended for myself. Cinderella took full advantage of me, and then her princess friends joined in, and well, I did things that would make even Mickey Mouse blush. xoxo
