Huckleberries: Grappling gals make scene at the Shore Lounge

You haven’t heard about that recent fight at the Shore Lounge at the Coeur d’Alene Resort. The resort keeps a tight lip on that sort of thing, particularly when it involves a coupla women. And the loser exits sans hunks of hair and a fingertip. OrangeTV of the Making Flippy Floppy blog witnessed the Thrilla in the Shore Lounge on Sept. 17. He was nursing an enormous mug of Kokanee when a full cocktail flew across the room and smashed near the stage. Take it away, OrangeTV: “We looked over to see a not-so-petite brunette girl with her claws firmly entrenched in the blond hairdo of another girl. They fell, knocking over several tables full of drinks in the process, and began speaking to each other in tongues that young ladies aren’t supposed to know.” (Huckleberries has OrangeTV’s photo.) Someone yelled, “Catfight,” and drunk guys began piling on the struggling women. As the house lights came on, the brunette stood and spit out the blonde’s fingertip. The brunette then patted down her hair, grabbed her purse, and “got the hell out of Dodge, pronto,” OrangeTV said. No one stopped her. A security guard eventually appeared to escort the crying bleeder into the lobby. And the cops were called. The tussle had an effect on some sedate suits near OrangeTV, full-grown men who later, OrangeTV said, “began prancing around like she-cats in heat” to George Michael’s “I Want Your Sex.” They then hit on OrangeTV’s friends who politely accepted their drinks before telling them to bug off. A good time was had by almost all.
