Anatomy Of A Gay Pool Party

14.07.11

As mid-summer promptly approaches and gays from Fire Island to the O.C. quickly scrounge for invites to the last of  the pool parties, it is powerful to remember the structure of this timeless tradition. After the jump check out the criteria and link.

Earlier today we stumbled on a marvellous blog and a particular story piqued our interest. It's the perfect internal monologue of any gay who thinks he is fabulous and how he sees pool parties (uncommonly in Los Angeles).  Here are some of the highlights and be sure to visit HommeMaker for the full article entitled "The Anatomy of a Gay Pool Social gathering":

"2. The second thing to know about Gay Pool Parties is that the boy bartenders are always beautiful. And straight. So single ladies, find yourself a Gay and make him take you to a reception. The bartenders will be so relieved to see you that they will fall in love with you even though they are most likely out of your league. This is Los Angeles after all, where every waiter is an actormodel."

What are the basic rules of Straight Pool?

Jun 09, 2008 by Thomas | Posted in Snooker & Pool

After recently seeing the 1961 cloud “The Hustler” I have become overwhelmed by this type of pool and I very interested in learning the basic rules on how to gamble this kind of pool.

Basically, it's a call vaccination game (call ball and pocket). You get one point for pocketing the called ball correctly, plus an additional single out if you happen to pocket any additional balls, except the cue ball of course. Games are typically races
