Call It Like You See It

So we love that BAD! finally got real refs this season that know how to call a game (yeah we are talking about you hippy chick from last season that would have rather been picking daisies than calling Kelly out for high throws). They may look familiar because they played in previous seasons, but due to various injuiries still get their fix of the Tony Dapolito gym every Monday by reffing games. Between Craig, Benji, Sam, Nick the Fireman, and Dykey Mikey, we have to say quite the attractive bunch of people giving out red cards. So the question is which ref do YOU wish would blow your whistle for stepping over the line? xoxo

When Push Comes To Shove...

Or should we say shoved? Someone in the league likes to cause trouble because this dodgeball cupid pushed a couple of underwear sponsored rival newbies into the room just off the front of the gym as a joke and the two were making out in no time. Is this the first time dodgeballers have hooked up INSIDE the gym since BAD! has began? We would love to see a show of hands on this one.

The afterparty WOOF! at View Bar was pretty hairy, literally. Throwing back cheap beers and even cheaper wings, the flip cup was rampant and the strippers were, um, bulging. We sang Happy Birthday to Nick the Fireman, we spotted Carrie 2.0 in a sling (and for the first time it was around her arm), and we sadly didn't win any porn in the raffle. The ladies were notoriously absent, do we think they perhaps had their own afterparty plans? The dodgeballers were on their best behavior, but we can only assume everyone is saving their energy for The Masquerade party tomorrow. We have our costume, do you have yours? xoxo

Spotted: On FIAH

We knew we spotted someone on The Gothamist when we saw their pictures from Pride. While they missed their opportunity to put good ol' Nick the Fireman on their page, we got a healthy dose of Steve the Fireman in his place. xoxo

It was a beautiful day for a parade, and participants and spectators of the Gay Pride March made the most of it. Hundreds of thousands of people lined the streets to see the colorful procession of marchers, floats, musicians, and performers. One spectator told NY1, "I'm hoping that in my time, I get to see them legalize gay marriage." Click here for the rest of the story.

Karao-Gay

Last Monday, BAD! got their dodgeball on, and it was craziness on the courts. Every team was fighting mad, and as usual the games were fierce. Gym Bar still continues to dominate the season just ahead of Stonewall, and as usual swept all 6 games. According to the standings they are the ones to beat this season, and with only about a handful of weeks left in the season, someone needs to knock them off their pedestal.

The after party was a rocking good time, and for a change on the east side at Eastern Bloc. Not only was there karaoke to be sung, but there was a mini flip cup table, where not a whole lot of flip cup actually happened. We hear there was a dirty game Shoulders 1, 2, 3 where if you didn't follow the rules you had to take a drink and kiss the person to your left. Let's just say it got pretty frisky, pretty fast.

So everyone had a turn at unleashing their inner Beyonce and stepped up to sing some karaoke. We heard Eduardo do "La Isla Bonita" (how very latin of him), Big Vinny and Niki tackle "Love Shack", Cutrone belt it out on "Sweet Caroline", and we were introduced to Freddy (a non-dodgeballer) who single handedly slayed "Georgia On My Mind". All in all, we were quite impressed by music skills on everyone, but we think you shouldn't let your dreams go of ruling at the Tony Dapolito Center any time soon.

Naturally there was a pole, and of course the dodgeballers were dancing the hell out of it. We saw quite a few people take a turn on it, and we found it entertaining that when James the gym teacher and his crew mysteriously disappeared and reappeared all red eyed and cotton mouthed grinding on the pole. Guess for some it just takes a little liquid courage, and for others an herbal refreshment. We have to give kudos to Kelly who mastered the pole again, with the help of a certain lady friend. We believe a pole is where Kelly was born.

It was quite the surprise when Justin Bond, of Kiki and Herb, sauntered into Eastern Bloc and mixed and mingled with the league. By mix and mingle we actually mean sit in the back and stare at the drunken shenanigans going on around her. We do have to give her props where props are deserved. She belted out one hell of a Stevie Nicks tune, and she did it well. She, of course, looked flawless and was gorgeous as a virgin on prom night.

We saw our fair share of makeouts, and we will go on record, and say we have never seen so much tongue at an after party. We don't what was in the water, but we did see one newbie in particular makeout with 5, yes 5!, other guys in the course of the after party. He's ruthless on the court, and a lothario off of it apparently. The after-after party continued on to D-Tox where it only got drunker and sloppier. After a couple of drinks we had to call it a night. We were certain our tongues, and liver, needed a rest if we ever hoped to see the weekend. xoxo

Twins?

We think it's a case of mistaken identity, but on Monday we could swear we saw Nick the Fireman, or at least his twin Nick 2.0! While we know he's not nearly as hot as the real deal, we have to ask you guys, does Nick the Fireman have a twin parading around this city, or do we just wish there was more of Nick the Fireman to go around? xoxo

What A Hoot!

So after creeping on facebook, we stumbled upon some interesting pictures. From what we can gather a bunch of our favorite dodgeballers got together at Hooters (?!) to partake in some drinks and girls (?!). While this may seem like an ordinary thing guys who play dodgeball do, we know these boys are not like your typical frat guys. In fact we know for a fact some of these boys were more interested in the other boys in this picture than a Hooter's waitress (well almost all of them except for Kelly). So this raises many questions...

Did these dodgeballers just meet up at Hooter's on a random Monday night because they miss the days of dodgeball past? Well boys, dodgeball is coming back in a big way in less than two weeks so fear not! Granted we don't think Gym Bar will bring you what looks like 50 hot wings, but they do usually have pretty good pizza if you get there early (or if you are like us we always seem to just miss it). Perhaps they met up for a special occassion like...

Kelly's birthday?? How did we miss that reminder on facebook? We are practically beaten over the head with reminders of people you may know from a random night at Woof! or your second cousin's birthday that you can never seem to remember off the top of your head. How the hell did we miss an occassion like this? It seems like a lot of people from the league came out for it too. Which leads us to our next question...

Who the hell are these hot guys? If you look closely at the group picture you see some new adorable faces amongst your old favorites and past tricks. We don't who brought them or where they came from, but please bring them again!! We love that hot newbie Scott C. finally has someone else to sit next to who loves baseball caps as much as he does (don't worry gray shirt likes his backwards!) but we wonder if they can play as good as they look. So we couldn't help but wonder...

Are these new hot guys playing this season, hence pre-season flip cup game? Anybody knows in BAD! you must be as good in flip cup as you are on the court. The two practically go hand in hand. So from the looks of it, those vets may have some stiff competition. Although we must admit, this flip cup didn't look like your grandfather's game of flip cup. No it looks like the stakes were raised...

Have those dodgeballers found a way to merge their two favorite past times: flip cup and making out? From the looks of it backwards hat hottie has found a friend at the flip cup table. Also did Hooter's finally give in to their straight clientele and get a flip cup table? Or have those pesky dodgeballers taken over America's wings establishment with their wicked ways?

Whatever the reason, we are sure there must be more pictures out there. We know those dodgeballers never leave home without their flair and their cameras. If you got them send them in, and if you know what actually went down, please share. We totally are jealous we weren't invited, but from the looks of it, it may have been a little too crazy for even us. xoxo

Body Shots In The Dark

So it was Nick the Fireman's birthday at the View Bar on Monday, and he did what any good dodgeball playing boy would do for his birthday, he took a body shot off a hot guy. We happen to be resident experts in the art of drinking and body shots happen to be a specialty of ours. So let us help you amateurs out.

Tip#1 - Find a Strong Shot

We know this may sound easy, but trust me no lemondrop shots are gonna fly at an establishment like View Bar. You gotta dig deep and go to a place you haven't been to since high school. Remember that time you threw up because you had too many shots of So-Co? Well get ready to relive your adolscence. Jaegar, Goldschlager, and our favorite Tequila will do just fine.

Tip #2 - Find a Hot Guy

Any old twink just won't do. You need to find someone with a little meat on their bones. Bears in this situation would not be a good idea since the thought of getting those little black hairs out of your mouth is supposed be something you do later in the evening. Usually a hot boy will attract a big crowd, because let's face it, who doesn't like to see a hot boy take off his shirt? In this situation Gilbride a great job of scaring up a decent crowd of rowdy men just waiting to see him give us a peek of his happy trail.

Tip#3 - Make Sure You Finish with Gusto!

Sure you can be lame and take the shot and be done, but what's the point of wasting this opportunity? After you take the shot and the crowd goes wild, enjoy the mayhem and plant a kiss on the hot boy. It's the perfect way to get a no strings attached kiss and it makes the crowd go twice as wild. If you really get gutsy, since you are already at his navel proceed to venture south and who knows where you may get from there...

View Bar From A Top

The flip cup was fast, yet furious, and the peanuts were high flying as B.A.D! descended upon View Bar for their weekly Woof! Party. There was porn to be won and bears to be had after a night of intense play at the Tony Dapolito Center.

Nick the Fireman was celebrating his birthday and everyone knew it. The View Bar managed to scare up a cute little Halloween themed cake, and many mean shots. The birthday boy proceeded to take a much needed body shot off of a very willing vet, and it was there the night maybe got hazy.
By hazy, we mean we thought we saw a crazy skinny guy with just some fig leaves over his manhood. How very Adam and Steve of him.

While James the gym teacher was getting slap happy at the flip cup table, and Eric Leven wouldn't stop throwing peanuts at us and shouting "Shasha Fierce" every five seconds, we did have a moment to see some intimate conversations to be had. Perhaps some old flames rekindled? The girls were suspiciously absent, perhaps there was another Secret Girls Night Out? One thing for sure, Thom managed to keep his shirt on this year...well at least for most of the time!

Paul the Commissioner was getting a little less wild than he was last week at G, but he still managed to help spill Shane's drink all over himself. We swear he wasn't just a hot mess. Even the music was crazy, for a Chelsea bar we are surprised we heard some our old favorites, and actually sing a long to them!

All in all it was a great night that went well into the morning with apparently the after after party at Eastern Bloc (send us pics if you have them!). But honestly, any party you leave with bear porn and a cheap $2 Bud Light buzz, isn't that a good night?
