Fave App... Steakhouse or Gay Bar?


Yeppers, I luuuv my iPhone. And not especially because of the phone part, which is fine, I just don't use it that much as a phone.

I use it to text, take notes, shoot pics of the dogs, play games, surf the web, google stuff, read the Huffington Post, scan facebook, etch-a-sketch, read blogs, find my lost car, pop imaginary bubble wrap, and a whole bunch of other vitally important crap. Ok, I occasionally waste time a little time on the iPhone.

My favourite new time-waster app on my iPhone is Steakhouse or Gay Bar. Sounds deep, huh? Well, surprise, it's not! The beginning to the end of this game: the app gives you a name, and you have to guess whether that place is a steakhouse or gay bar. Yep, that is it. Waste that time away!

Wanna play? Here you go, try these:
- Nik's West: steakhouse or gay bar?
- Switch: steakhouse or gay bar?
- Village Supper Club: steakhouse or gay bar?
- Hole in the Wall: steakhouse or gay bar?
- The Abbey: steakhouse or gay bar?
- Cut: steakhouse or gay bar?
- Hind Quarter: steakhouse or gay bar?
- Over-Lubricated Rib Eye Manhole: steakhouse or gay bar?

Here are your answers:
- Niki's West: steakhouse
- Switch: steakhouse
- Village Supper Club: gar bar
- Hole in the Wall: Steakhouse
- The Abbey: gay bar (hmm, fetish much ?)
- Cut: steakhouse (ooh, but the possibilities...)
- Hind Quarter: steakhouse (no comment, too easy)
- Over-Lubricated Rib Eye Manhole: okay, I totally made this one up. And I think it's brilliant. It could work for either, or both!

When I was university age in Montreal and coming out and going out, the bar was The Garage, and later in Toronto there was Colby's and Woodys and Crews... looks like names have come a long way since then...

First as a joke. I thought a Steak House was a gay bar. I mean when I used to go out to the bars I would find allot of tube steaks. Wha tis the difference.
Fun game here.

Moi? Too much time on my hands? Nah....

Home today for like five hours waiting for jerk furniture delivery guys. So yep wasting time big time!

Maybe I should open a gay bar. Or a steakhouse...

That is just too funny. Sounds like the perfect app to waste away (ahem, I mean while away) a few hours.

You know what is funny? Well lots of stuff is funny, but back in Montreal I had a friend, (you knew him as well) we were downtown and he said, "lets stop in here' so we go in, we are in there about half an hour happily drinking beer when he says to me, (and yes I am slow and nieve)"Hey, notice there are no girls in here?" nope I didn't notice. Really didn't even care and was seriously not thinking about it. Years later I passed that bar again and said to another friend, "I was in there years ago, it was a pretty cool place" "Uhm Bri, you do realize thats a gay bar" And in that moment I realized my/our friend was trying to tell me he was gay. I stupidly never picked up on it. Later I found out he was 'bi' but I'm thinking he was gay. I feel bad because I really feel like he was reaching out to me and I was just to young and stupid to put it together. I have not spoken to him in since I moved out of Montreal.

Hey Brian - interesing, and of course now am curious as to who that is!

Coming out is always hard, and something you do over and over again, until at some older age you stop giving a crap what people think. Though even then you still have to come out to people.

As for the "bi" thing, I used to know lots of guys who claimed to be bi. I think maybe was easier to come out for them? I dunno.

There was a comedian - maybe Joan Rivers? - who used to say there is no such thing as bi, it is just a stopover on the train to gayville.

"Pop imaginary bubble wrap?" There's an activity that sounds like it would be fun to do while stoned.

If you can order a steak in a gay bar, what does that make it?

I'm grabbin' your button, boyfriend!

Lauren said...

Ummm... Hole in the Wall is a steakhouse? Really? Huh. Well, for fear of what comes out of the hole, I shall stay away. Thank God I don't enjoy red meat. You can take that last statement anyway you like. (hehe)

Do people still use iPhone as a phone any more?! There used to be a bar in Chicago called Manhole, renowned to be one of the best...

Bubble wraps... hmmm...

Linda Medrano said...

"The Stud" in SF is fantastic! (Uh, it's not a steakhouse!) LOL!

Brahm (alfred lives here) said...

Like "The Stud" as a name.

Toronto used to have a "Manhole" also. Montreal had one called K-O-X (prononunced kay oh ex). Subtle, huh? Classy...
