I'm working late tonight. Got too much on my plate and not enough hours in the day.

Anyway, about an hour ago, Since I haven't eaten since this morning, I got hungry.

There are several places to eat across the street but just about all of them are lunch only places. It's a business park. There is this bar though that has been there forever that used to be called the "crazy horse". About a two years ago, the owner tried to burn it down and has since then changed owners. I figured I'd go over there and order me a burger.

Now I haven't been there since the new ownership. I walked in and there were only a handfull of people there. In the corner was a middle aged man playing show tunes. (that should have been my first clue, but I figured hey! it's palm beach and that means a lot of old people) I pulled a chair up to the bar and gave my "to go" order. The bar tender gave me a warm smile and put his hand on my shoulder and gave me a big welcome speech.

First I was thinking, Wow! these guys are really nice. But after a few minutes of waiting on my food, a lot of men started pouring in the place and everyone of them were, well... Obviously GAY!

Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not homophobic, but I've never had 4-5 guys approach me asking my name and all. That just doesn't happen in my world. I guess I should be flattered, but at the time I was freekin' out!

Before I left, the owner comes out giving everyone hugs and kisses on the cheek. It was then, that I realized, this must be a "men's only" kinda place. He even aproached me, shaking my hand with a real "flair", putting his hand on my shoulder.

I'm really not bothered by it, but I just found it totally hillarious because I think most of them knew I was the only strait guy in there and they were just being overly nice to me.

I was given three cards by the owner, manager, and the bartender.

"I feel so special"


To top it off, I get back to my office and there are 5 messages from my wife, worried about me. (I left my cell phone on the charger) opps. When she asked my where I was, I just couldn't tell her what just happened. So I said I walked over to the 7-11 instead.

I'm afraid if I told her the truth, she'd be second guessing my late nights at work!



Anyway, back to work.

I bet if you show a little skin next time you'll get a free lunch.

This is a cute story!

You can probabbly get free food and drinks for a few weeks if you play your cards right there.

Does he need one, though?

But indeed, the "I am okay with it: and the "I am afraid" thing kinda clash.

But that is okay.
Even if Yomama is okay with it, his wife can still be someone who dislikes gays.

I think that's cool! You really opened yourself up (no pun intended) to a new thing there.

Oh common.

Seven years hard labour!

As long as they are nice and the food is good... go back. They aren't going to hold you down and fuck your asshole for you... just go with it.

Agreed...

You didn't notice the rainbow flag, all the guys drinking cosmos, Queer Duck playing on all ofthe tv's around the room, the piano player had a g-string on during 'happy' hour. While you waited, he also played 'I will survive' and 'Dancing Queen'. And you could have sworn that you saw Tom Cruise over by the little boys room, but thought he was still on location filming the Last Samurai.

Might not be your cup of tea, but didn't you have a fabulous time!!

yamomma, it's all good. Just don't go to that place again.

Yeah, if you walk into any bar and see a bunch of guys sitting around and hear Cher playing on the jukebox, you know you're in a gay bar.

I love Cher, the last of a dying half-breed
