Save A Horse, Ride A Dodgeballer

It seems good in theory, but we think this smells like disaster, or better yet manure. xoxo

Before Ru Paul had a Drag Race, the gayest way to take in a race was from beneath the brim of an oversized floral hat in the grandstands of a stately, well-manicured racing grounds. On Sunday, May 2nd - the day after the Derby! - we throw back to that tradition and then unceremoniously throw it out the window. On this day, we go to Belmont Park, and Long Island may never be the same again...

Here's how it goes down:

- Meet starting at 11 am at Penn Station's premier upscale lounge, TGI Fridays, near the LIRR tracks
- Purchase round trip tickets to Queens Village ($11.50 off-peak, more expensive if purchased on train)
- Drink
- Board 11:40 train to Queens Village (ONLY the 11:40 gets us there in time to connect with the Belmont Park shuttle; if you do not make this train you are SOL)
- Drink (it's permitted on board the train!)
- Connect to the free Belmont Park shuttle bus at 12:30 (again, this is the ONLY time the shuttle picks up, so you must be on the 11:40 train to connect)
- Arrive at the park in time for 1 pm post time
- Purchase $3 general admission tickets
- Drink (concessions are in the facility and reasonably priced - Yankee Stadium this is not)
- Look at the pretty horsies
- Lose money on the pretty horsies (optional)
- Partake in general fun and merriment (mandatory)
- Drink (hiccup. burp)
- Board one of the three returning shuttles (4:15, 5:15, 6:15)
- Board next train to Penn
- Drink (your mouth is pretty)
- Arrive at Penn
- Go somewhere else and Drink (has anyone seen my pants?)

General Notes:

Outside food and beverage: while coolers are allowed in some areas of the park, they are NOT permitted in the grandstands, so you would have to abandon them in the picnic areas in order to head trackside. That said, the track concessions shouldn't set you back too much. Also, please note that glass bottles are not permitted anywhere in the park - cans and plastic bottles only, please.

Attire: I STRONGLY encourage you to wear the aforementioned floral hats, but for the grandstands the only requirements are to wear shoes and shirt (presumably some sort of bottom covering is required as well, but the website doesn't mention this).

Weather: Granted, we're more than a week out, but at this point Sam Champion is calling for 70s and mostly sunny (after first calling for a rent boy) - perfect for an adventure in an open-air venue like Belmont!

I Ain't One To Gossip: Foreign Exchange

Let's see they're both cute and play dodgeball pretty well. They both share a passion for music and foreign lands. They both were very friendly at the gym and left together after Cubbyhole. We should have figured out that it was inevitable these two would find love after the attention they have received from all of the other boys in the league. We just wonder with their thick accents if they can understand what the other is saying. xoxo

Catch Me If You Can

Our next poll is going to be "Who Is the Best Catch" in the league, and you can take that literally or figuratively. So sound off and let us know who we should include. xoxo

Super-Freak

The results are in for who you thought was a freak in the sheets, and in a surprising victory...

It looks like Chance took it down!

He narrowly beat out Knyko and B Chen for the win. We think that Chance may have some explaining to do. xoxo

One Mike Is Never Enough

Wow we never thought you could fit this many Mikes into one picture, but all of the hotness is burning a hole in our loins. So our question is which Mike is your favorite? Mogavero, Figliulo, Giuggio, Mezzano, Castellano, or Arlotto? They all have an O at the end of their name, and we know for a fact these boys have given their fair share of boys in the league a big *O* as well. xoxo

The Start of an Epidemic

The question is should we start worrying now or later? xoxo

I Ain't One To Gossip: Cubbyhole Shenanigans

Grab Scooby and the Mystery Machine, we got a trio of blind items from last night for you. We swear none of these are harder to figure out than The Ghost at Old Creek Mountain. xoxo

1) Which vet last night was hitting on his on every young guy in sight? His mustache may have been a little more Mario than Luigi, but it's still creepy nonetheless.

2) These two fairly hairless vets were all touchy feely in the front of the bar, even though one of them was, ahem, injured. We are sure they may have set up a date to play doctor in the future.

3) These on-again/off-again hookup buddies seemed to be very on again. It looks like the two may have left together again last night, but not without a fight. It seems one of them isn't feeling it, but ends up leaving when they can't find anyone better.

Who Whore It Better: Drag Edition

RuPaul's Drag Race has entertained us almost as much as the after-parties have this spring. Although we aren't sure which gaysian is more fierce: Brian or Jujubee? We have been totally Team Tyra all the way this season, but Jujubee can work it out with the best of them. The same could be said about Brian on and off the court as well. Which of these two do YOU think could lip synch for their lives better and not fuck it up? xoxo

Hole In One

Finally an afterparty we can look foward to! Cubbyhole is hosting the post play fun tonight, and if the past afterparites are any indication, expect shots, cheap beers, and jukebox full of the best tunes to dance to. The ladies love this place for a reason. xoxo

Giving Us A Woody

Woody's has finally figured out what it takes to have a successful season: a little team love. xoxo

The Real Mean Girls

Alright, so we know that everyone has a little mean girl in them. Hell we think even Mother Theresa stole bread from her sister and told her to "Suck It" back in the day. Though you guys totally put the mean girls to shame in the comments section of this site. For reals. All the anonymous haters out there are really tearing into people like Regina tore into those high calorie weight gain bars from Africa. You are ruthless, biting, sarcastic, and at times hilarious, and we love that you have such strong opinions. The comments have been one of the most exciting parts of the site this season. The various Anonymous commenters have become the real mean girls. Listen, we agree the gossip this season has been lacking because well there's nothing entirely scandalous to report. No one is working the pole at the afterparties (except Jeff and Will of course), no one is having orgies in the basement of the Tony Dapolito Center, and no one is getting naked and dancing the night away to Britney like you have in the past. Or at least no one is telling us about it. Dare we say this league has become...DOMESTICATED? Ugh, we will have no part of that.

This league is living in the age of Post-GG. It's almost as if the site has become it's worst enemy. While not officially affiliated with the league, this site has over time become synonymous with the dodgeball league it's as if they go together like bread and butter. Everyone is so scared of ending up on here no one does anything crazy any more. We blame there not being enough newbies this season to give the league the spark it once had. How many times can we talk about Symmes being hotter than molten lava and Endre throwing a tantrum on the court? BORING! So guess what if you want this to be fun then give us the dish. Let's speak dodgeball terms: it's a team effort and if you don't put in your fair share then the team suffers. So newbies do something exciting and actually venture out to the afterparties. If you are having a super sexy team date, then tell us the dirty details. We can't do this without you. xoxo

I Ain't One To Gossip: Greek Myths

We always thought that this boy kept all his suitors at bay, like some other auricomous greek legends of yore, but it seems that the second he was single he went on the offensive. Not only was this boy sending naughty pictures to his unavailable crush, it seemed he also hoped those photos would act as a trojan horse to sneak his way into a threesome with this boy and his melodious man. Don't get us wrong, we are sure Hades would have been proud of this boy's motives. It's always the ones you least expect. xoxo

Pre-Party In The USA

So last night apparently everyone decided to drink BEFORE the games. God, how did we not think of that? Tequila shots and beers were consumed before entering the Tony Dapolito Center and apparently their strategy worked. The teams that drank won most of their games. Perhaps it was all due to a little liquid courage? What do you think, should Tony Dapolito take out those pesky drink vending machines and install a bar? If they do, we just hope they stock it with a lot of tequila. xoxo

Freak Me Baby

On the court, people are ruthless, aggressive, and completely competitive. Off the court, it seems like a totally different person because they will chat you up, play flip-cup, eat pizza, and gossip about the night's play. Two completely different personalities. So for our next poll, we wanted to see who YOU thought probably seems nice when you meet them, but is probably a freak in the sheets. Tell us who we should include in our poll, then YOU can vote on who you think is a real super freak. C'mon, don't we all love someone who can be a real lady on the streets, but a freak in the sheets? xoxo

30 and Dirty

In case you didn't hear....

Yup Weeks is turning 30! We would usually say he's going to be 30 and dirty, but this guy was dirty long before 30. Yet, somehow he still looks young enough to get carded at a liquor store (we hate you for looking so damn hot). Wait, you didn't hear it was his birthday? You didn't get a facebook message reminding you about his Pool Party, that isn't exactly a Pool Party??

Our facebook has been peppered with incessant messages/wall posts from him harassing  reminding us about his big day. We also have been getting texts, phone calls, and we think we even spotted a plane flying over NYC skywriting about the big day today.

So remember to tell us all the scandalous stories, because if the past repeats itself there will be plenty of dirty things going on. Just don't be too hungover for open play tomorrow, no one likes a messy queen. xoxo
