Park Chalet to Host What Will Be a Depressing Cougar Singles Bash
Park Chalet -- which, it seems, provides the average hungry eater or thirsty drunk an "unmatched indoor/outdoor atmosphere" -- is hosting a singles event. For cougars. You know, women of-a-certain age? Ladies 35 or older who get damp over boyish jailbait? They're having some sort of mass gathering later this month. Sort of like a cast party for Dateline: to Catch a Predator, only socially acceptable. Check it:
FIRST-EVER SINGLE COUGARS PARTY Thursday, June 12, 7-9pm -- all ages [What?!?-- SFist]As seen on KRON4 TV News.
We're excited about the Bay Area's first-ever Single Cougars Party! Based on Cougar, by Valerie Gibson. Cougars are older women dating younger men. Guys, here's your chance to break the taboo of meeting and dating older women!$10 at the door includes a Mixer Game, that makes it EASY to meet people; accompanied by complimentary appetizers for those who arrive on time, plus live music. Thursday, June 12, 2008, 7pm. Adults of all ages welcome. Dress to impress!
LOCATION: Park Chalet Garden Restaurant, "Where the Park Meets the Pacific," 1000 Great Highway (nearest cross-street is Fulton), San Francisco CA 94121. Downstairs from the Beach Chalet Restaurant, near the giant Windmill at the end of Golden Gate Park, one quarter mile south of the famous Cliff House. Enter through Golden Gate Park Visitors Center. Free parking.
KRON 4? Cougars? Easy? Huh. Will Pam Moore be there? Because: growl.
And in the words of Eater, "this is unacceptable." Our good friends over there are aghast that San Francisco's Great Highway gem is hosting a desperate-sounding singles event. And rightfully so. It is/was kind of too classy for such geriatric frivolity. Eater instead suggests seizure-inducing sports club Jillian's at the Metreon, which sounds about right. (But that damned venue is an entirely different post altogether.)
Anyway, have fun ladies. And don't forget to offer your prey some cookies and sweet tea before you pounce. See you there.

DAMN! I'm gonna get so mustily laid!
You better bring some game. These ladies have had much better than you so you might not 'measure up'.
I am so there, but I'll only consider you if you are younger than my favorite bra.
thank god you changed that picture. the first one was so frightening...
SFJoe, all lady's love a screwdriver, if you catch my drift.
Especially when you can't spell because you are an idiotic screw driver.
pam moore is saucy enough but what of darya folsom???!! easily the milfiest of the kron crew
I think it sounds delightful. There are things that you get better at with age. Plus its nice to meet women who know what they want.
the only downside is of course that a certain kind of cougar won't necessarily need to graze in these meadows (if I may butcher a couple of metaphors).
These kinds of events make me wish I were straight (not really, but kind of.)
I think jillian's may be a better location....

btw, the "tags" you picked for this entry are hilarious.
shouldn't the "prey" get in for free?
They actually use the word "COUGARS" in the announcement. How humilating. I always thought the term wasn't brought into play until there was some Joan Crawfordistic aspect present. Oh well, maybe it's not me, just the dating scene has gotten small.
Prey should absolutely get in free.
cougar pride.
Bears, pigs, otters, beaver, and now... cougars.
Anthropomorphise much?
Park Chalet: time to hire a new event and PR team. Katy G: you totally made my afternoon.
Brock: just how young are you that you think 35 is "geriatric"? Please tell me you're joking!
Commenters: what's a "cougar" corollary for guys who date younger girls (something besides "immature" or "lucky" or "coot")?
pumas > cougars
Oh, but I do love this skit, well, I just love Wiig

why, i just turned 21, SFNYgirl. who knew zimas were so tasty?
re 35, we asked readers recently at what ages does a woman, for lack of a better word, turn. here's what was said:
http://sfist.com/2007/12/07/ask_sfist_couga.php
LOVE Wiig. love, love, love. stalk-her-at-night-and-go-through-her-trash-bins love.
Older guy with younger guy = chicken hawk.

I think the word you're looking for is "guy"...

wasn't this a bad movie?

hahaha
you only have 6 years to live...better enjoy it!
Is Sophia Loren still available?
Wow, the whippersnappers around these parts seem to forget that 40 is like the new 30! Seriously, Cougarbeing commences at the age of 40, 35 is too young. Any woman worthy of the title "cougar" is way too busy building her own personal empire at the age of 35 to be chasing after scrawny hipster males fleeing on their track bikes. By the time she hits 40, however, she's prolly acquired enough power and American dollars to step off a bit. This, combined with the winding down of her biological clock and the wall of mortality that, from what I hear, people hit around the age of 39, results in a cougar, desperate for the kill!
Seriously, Anne Bancroft may have been a hagard looking 36 when she played the original cougar, Mrs. Robinson, but the character had to be at least 40. Elaine Robinson, her daughter, was a 21 -22 year old senior at Cal. Were Mrs. Robinson only 36, she'd have been like 15 when she pooped Elaine out - unlikely.
I hate to sound so biased, being a 36 male and all but when I was 25 I couldn't keep an erection for 2+ hours. I wonder how many of these "cougars" have had their heads filled with dreams of being "Sex & The City" stand ins.
Tight abs and premature ejaculation are such a poor combination.
Enjoy embarrassing some poor, hapless boy and looking like an idiot in the process.
Mom: SEYMOUR! Are you looking at older ladies???
Seymour: No, Mother...
Mom: Sissy!

Being 35 and single makes you a cougar?? Shit, no one told me. According to that logic, I have only 5 years to find a husband and pop out a bunch of brats or I run the risk of chasing younger men the rest of my life because a woman is totally used up and should be thrown away after 35, right?
Give me a fucking break. Shit like this makes my ovaries hurt.
What katerose said. Besides, as someone else pointed out, women at 35 are far too involved with their careers to worry about being a mommy to some wet behind the ears man child.
here's that bad movie:

"LOVE Wiig. love, love, love."
Yeah! I think she's brilliant and beautiful. I just rented semi-pro and I didn't laugh at all except during her brief moment on screen. It's time for her to get more face time outside SNL (which won't be a problem). Time to go on a balloon ride now.
In the spirit of sexual equality, the Park Chalet needs to follow up with a party where older men get to prey on younger women. Otherwise, the whole thing might be construed as sexist.
