Not a good night with some friends from Florida.

[bodyhard]

A really close couple friend of ours came to NY from Florida this week (They arrived on Tuesday). They did their thing with family members who live here in NY and wanted to go out with Patty and I on Saturday night. I told them we should hit a lounge where it would be nice and we could have a good time as couples and they started making old jokes saying Patty and I are getting old (they are in their mid-forties)


They insisted on hitting a club as they wanted to go dancing in the city so Patty and I did reluctantly. No sooner did we paid to get into the club (after a long wait in line outside) my friend is in an argument with some dudes. According to my friend it started because the guys were making fun of their size difference and he overheard them. My friend is a tall dude, roughly 6'7" maybe 260lbs. His wife is a little thing 5'2" if that much and maybe 125lbs. So they are in each other face and arguing I get there and try to defuse the situation but so did two bouncers.

Well turns out these guys were regulars there because the bouncers were against us and told us to leave (and to be quite honest I didn't care as I didn't want to really go anyway) but when they were escorting us out, one of the bouncers grabbed my friend almost in a full Nelson, I was walking ahead so I don't know why he grabbed him like that (my boy later told me he was trying to go back in as he left his glasses on the table) but when I heard the scuffle I turned around. When I try to go over to them to calm my boy down, the other bouncer attempted to grab me through my neck but I was already watching him and once his arm extended to grab me I rocked him twice knocking him off his feet. He fell back against the railing which led to the stairs going out of the club. He was stunned for a few seconds and when I looked my boy had the other bouncer up against the wall.

Armed security guards showed up within seconds and broke everything up, the bouncer I hit was leaking from his nose and told me he wont forget my face, I told him, don't forget I know where you work. The security guards told us to leave or get arrested. We walked towards 63rd street and called an uber.

It's stories like this that makes me appreciate the no hustle peaceful environment I choose to live it. A bunch of us listening to good music, sitting around a fire, drinking beer, eating our faces off with lots of laughs, maybe a beer may get spilled or some food fall in the fire, but that's about as wild as our Saturday nights get.

You have to know where to go, when DBX and OS came to the Bronx I took them to a lounge and although we had a little altercation (this guy was ****ing with DBX) it didn't escalate to anything. But sometimes no matter where you go, sh!t just happens

I cut down some raspberries yesterday with my weed eater. They had been harvested from my wife’s grandmothers garden.

I’d rather been in the club facing some dumb ass sht talking bouncers.

How much was the cover charge for the 4 of you? I am just curious what clubs in NYC charge to get in.

LOL wow, I want some quiet time in my life, but hell man if I were to be doing that just kill me now

It was 20 dollars a person, some clubs are more some are cheaper it really depends where you go.

Bummer. Stories like that take me back to my days working in the clubs. Flashing lights; pounding music; hot chicks; alcohol; and lots of testosterone. The few times I went back to those places, I couldn't relax. I'd be watching the crowd for trouble. You get to where you can usually see it just before the spark. I have no use for any of that, ever, at all anymore.

[tacoeater]

Typical BH story. Out with friends, fight, and u get the best of them.

Internet lol. I’m going back to bed with my playboy model, then gonna wake up and drink mimosas on my Yaught. Night

Went out last night, 10 of us, to celebrate a birthday. Really nifty place that specialises in craft beers and whiskeys - it looks like a prohibition era speakeasy. We had a blast! The charcuterie boards were amazing - with boar sausage, rosemary crostini, and quince jam. Lights went down around 9:30 and the DJ started up. The bouncer was a 62YO powerlifter and her powerlifter husband. Had a terrific gab with her. She thought Mr Flexy was great (he did stop short of showing her his lifting vids, lol).

I planted grass yesterday and installed a new rack for the garden hose. Sh!t was f'cking epic!

What kind of hose do you have? I bought a new one from the Depot last year. It's main selling point was that it won't kink. I say the same thing every time I use it..."won't kink my ass!"

[Aristotelian]

Do you believe your friend?

I used to go out a lot, never really had a problem until our friend circle started to include a few guys who were itching for it. The first few times I believed the "they are starting chit" thing but some people...

I got tired of that way back then pretty quickly and now have no time for that at all.

Nowadays I like my gastropub like Lisa said above.

This is what you need

Yeah your right, I could never relax in an environment like that. It is like a wild human mating ritual (just like when animals get together on certain seasons)

Still overall, the night could have ended much much worse. Kinda lucky.

Your friend is not used to having humor jokes about him and his wife by now? He could have easily brushed it off.

Hanging out in clubs during my youth did more than any evolutionary studies ever could have to convince me of our recent ancestry with apes.

Civilized behavior, discernment, rational response, and empathetic restraint constitute a thin veneer over a brain that is in most respects nothing more than a smarter ape. And that veneer is easily dissolved in small quantities of alcohol.

How long ago was that brah? Ur 62?

Yes have you seen the hip hop clubs?

Yes of course I believe him, why would I not? He didn't come all the way to NY just to have his night ruin with a lie.

What does it matter? Do you think people have changed? Do you think young people today are a new species impervious to alcohol?

One thing that hasn't changed -- young people thinking that they're somehow different and better than whoever came before them. It's ok -- I used to think the same thing.
