I never even stepped foot into this Elkhorn watering hole until I was at least 23. I guess I judged the book by the cover -- basing my judgment on the fact that the place was a haven for bikers -- not typically my crowd.

But on recent visits, I have found a relatively friendly crowd, great games of pool and the "townie atmosphere" that makes hanging at these sorts of places with your friends tolerable and interesting.

One night, I did a bunch of shots of McGillicuddy's for a dollar and than ran outside to puke all over the front sidewalk. Sometimes they have bands that play and once, I heard via cell speaker phone, that a topless contest had ensued. All I could do from three thousand miles away was wonder what the heck that was like, and what girl would get up on the counter and start peeling off all her clothing to the delight of the many leathery patrons below her.

After scratching my head I figured it out. A cougar.
