This might actually be the worst bachelor party ever

I don’t want to go out on TOO huge of a limb, as I’m sure next time this comes up I’ll have to post as “No, really, THIS is the worst bachelor party ever,” but this is pretty rough.

Check out this post at HolyJuan, where he starts off the post describing the standard fare that guys use when recapping their lady friends on a bachelor party - those of you with no bachelor party experience might want to write this down.

“Not much happened. The girls weren’t that hot. We just drank a lot. It was fun, but not crazy.”

Most of the time this rule will be “unspoken,” but every so often you actually hear it uttered between two guys before one goes home. In any case, in this story, HolyJuan was actually telling the truth when he used that recap. You must read it - it’s not as ridiculously horrid as you might be thinking, but it definitely qualifies as bummer material, including his current status as not-a-best-man-since the one he lined up last.

More on party ideas

The Democrat & Chronicle’s Rochelle Hentges shares a couple more bachelor party ideas for those of you braining on what to do for yourself or for your pal, the groom. I’m still up on the “adventure” concept, whether it be whitewater rafting or something like that, and she’s got a good link for people looking for help coordinating such an event. I’m also thinking that a poker night makes a great combination with one thing or another, though I’m not sure if playing poker *after* getting your drink on is the best bet.

Pink = teh loss at your bachelor party

Wow, check out what horrors these groomsmen created by getting the groom to wear pink to the bachelor party - or at least the mini golfing part of the bachelor party.

Bad Move Of The Day

Over at A Sack of Seattle, you’ll find what is clearly the bad move of the day. One of the participants of a completely above-board bachelor party the blogger attended ordered a serious bottle of wine - $500 worth of serious - didn’t tell anyone, and then had it show up on the joint bill for all to pay.

Let it be here decreed, as said over there, that a serious “party foul” has been committed. Not cool.

Thoughts on a bachelor party

Part of this post is going to be super self-serving, the other part of it is going to totally jack the initial commentary in this post from Liz McLean Knight about “lame bachelor parties” that are most certainly “out in the suburbs.” First off, I’ve gotta say that I have no real idea on what kind of bachelor party I want to have. People are already throwing around the usual fare of strippers, cigars, and so on, and that’s all well and good. At the same time, I’m kind of thinking the party needs to get started, and size doesn’t matter.

Liz is talking about a throwdown for label owner Andrew Lochhead in Detroit that’s going to feature some amazing female DJ talent. Some guys want other types of “talent” when it comes to the party itself, I’ve gotta say that I’d be all up for a throwdown that completely steals this concept, but I’d aim directly at some of my favorite female DJs, DJ Rap, Baby Anne, and Jen Lasher. Of course, I’m probably going to have to save some serious coin to afford one of them, let alone three, but that’s alright, a guy can hope.

This gets me thinking, though. What else are people talking about doing these days? Are we heading out to Vegas and doing the club and strippers thing? Does anyone take a road trip and do a guys’ weekend full of golf, liquor, and other entertainment? What’s new and exciting?

Best or worst bachelor party ending?

Anonymous Coworker shared a tale of a bachelor party attended this past weekend, and I can’t help but ask one question. Does a night of seeming guy-awesomeness that ends with a rendition of “Tiny Dancer” mean that the guy-awesomeness has ruled itself out, or not? These, my friends, are important questions that need answering. Head on over there and chime on in.

Not my (first) bachelor party choice

Okay, this isn’t going to be my first bachelor party choice - or my last - but it’s one that needs to be pointed out either way. Tasty Booze shares some video of some officers of the law who have an interesting way of showing one of their own a good time.

The video’s just blurry enough to make it a little frustrating, but some of the audio more than makes up for that annoyance. Enjoy!
