"A cougar, a guido and a nerd walk up to a bar..."

"And none got in. At least not at the uber-hip Boom Boom Room."

Trooper York said...: Wait a minute. Teresa Giudice walked in there all by herself?; 6/13/10, 5:06 PM
Unknown said...: We're right back where we were with Studio 54 in the 70s.

Who says The Zero isn't the political reincarnation of Jimmy Carter?

PS Notice all the epithets - Guido, nerd, etc. Where, O, where are the PC types?; 6/13/10, 5:56 PM
Big Mike said...: Of course if the nerd turned out to be Bill Gates he could buy the Boom Boom Room and personally fire the bouncers.; 6/13/10, 6:33 PM

(I love the NYP! No other paper does this kind of light-hearted article.); 6/13/10, 9:42 PM

MadisonMan said...: drinking PBR.

Ugh.

Still, it wasn't Iron City Lite. (shudder); 6/14/10, 7:42 AM

Personally, I've got better things to do than drink bad beer and pretend I like it.; 6/14/10, 8:41 AM
Freeman Hunt said...: Shorter version of article: These clubs will let you in if you're either stylish and good-looking or appear to be an established person who will spend a lot of money.

Someone explain to me the concept of having to pay to get into a bar. I don't get that. You go someplace to spend money, and they want you to pay them to go inside? Should the mall start charging people to walk in the door? Should Macy's? How about a car dealership or a pizza restaurant? Odd.; 6/14/10, 10:27 AM

Tibore said...: Oh, BTW, what does it say about me that I found the guidette sorta hot?; 6/14/10, 4:53 PM
Sokmnkee said...: Okay, I'm a Amstel Light woman myself. However, the PBR comments are a hoot! Have you all seen the Keystone Light ads recently where the redneck (I can use that term because I am one), Keith Stone, always comes to the pretty woman's rescue? Creatively funny.; 6/15/10, 10:04 AM
