Bearly There

Which of these bears is not like the other? It seems those with fur like to frequent View Bar after the after parties making it the spot for the after after parties. We think people go for the cheap beer and leather, but we secretly know it's the hunky strippers. Or the peanuts. xoxo

Spotted: Sandwiched

We spy with our eagle eyes an actual Eagle. Well a couple of hot C-IN2 boys (one even in dodgeball getup) and an Eagle dressed as a bee in the back of Next Magazine this week. Jeff may be the meat in the John and Kurt sandwich, and we hear his meat is something to savor. 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

Woofing It Down

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

Big Bad Woof!

Tonight the after party festivities will be taking place at View Bar (232 8th Ave at 22nd Street). The party is WOOF! and if history repeats itself (and we sure the hell hope it does) Thom will be shirtless by the night's end. With $2 Buds + $3 MGD cans and the promise of flip cup, how can you go wrong? xoxo

Spotted: Harness Edition

Are harnesses in for Spring '09? If you remember the last time we attended WOOF! at View Bar, we saw a certain someone modeling the harness collection for the bar patrons. Well it turns out somebody else took it a step further.

We hear a certain vet not only got to sample the goods, but they took them home! That's right, and damn did he fill out those suspenders. We secretly think he has watched every season of Top Model, because dude struck a fierce pose with just a couple of leather straps for inspiration. He's way better at posing than Marjorie.

Too bad we can't see it from the back, we are sure he totally filled that out as well. xoxo

Out in the Open

Technically the dodgeball season hasn't officially started, but BAD! had their first night of open play on Monday, and apparently LOTS of people showed up to the Tony Dapolito center. Over 120 people came to try out and play, which is more people than were in the whole league last season.

To say the gym was full would be an understatement. To say that there were a lot of hot newbies would also be an understatement. There were so many hot boys, even the locker room felt crowded (not that we were complaining).

The new executive board at BAD! (Paul the Commissioner, Weeks, Sanchez, V, and Jess) ran the show, and with 14 teams playing, there was definately a little down time. The open play in the front gym was fun, and a tad chaotic, but when some poor unsuspecting girl caught one of Monica's torpedo throws, well we haven't heard that much cheering since Madonna's concert last summer!

We loved seeing some of our old favorites vets (Norman, Niki, PTW, Molly, RJ and Thom) and some of old favorite newbies (Scott C., Scott E., Kelly). Techincally they aren't newbies any more, they have officially joined the ranks of the vets in our books.

The after party was held at Stonewall and the flip cup game was on. The crowd was not as hectic as it was at the gym, so that meant more time for flip cup! It was like we had never left. There was double fisting and dancing at the table, but we guess the real action was happening off the table!

There was a group of some veteran boys who decided to play the age old game of "who has the bigger balls" literally. One by one they whipped out their sacks and compared to see who was 'bigger'. We just hope no one was taking steroids because we all have heard the old wives tales about what happens to your balls when you are on it. The most shocking part of the whole experience was the people who had the biggest and smallest were ironically on the same team last season.

Also there was some arm wrestling going on in the corner, and of course we had to watch. Jen the Gladiator was taking girls down left and right. You would think girls would learn that if she is tough enough to compete on "American Gladiators", she could probably kick your ass in arm wrestling.

The after after party continued at Woof! but we had to call it a night. It is only the first open play of the year! All in all a good time, and we hear there are more open plays this month. Although at the next afterparty we totally plan on winning the "who has the bigger balls" competition. 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?
