No, I Don't Want A Penis Cookie
I *loathe* bachelorette parties. Loathe. If I owned a bar, the minute I saw a tiara, veil, or penis-shaped anything I would tell them to get the hell out. It's always the most annoying group of girls too: half of them are the quiet stay at home types that can't hold their liquor and thus become anything but quiet, and the other half are the single "good time" friends that can typically be found disseminating STDs at Rumors. Invariably, the only cute one is the bride to be. But frankly, no girl looks cute sipping a drink through a penis straw. It's always about penises and making guys take off their boxers. I don't get the logic there: my friend is getting married, so let's go out and act like classless sluts? Is that it? Christ, go to a strip club - that's what they're for. There's no need to ruin everyone else's night at the bar. And don't get me started on the drinks. No, the local dive bar doesn't have whipped cream for the blowjob shots that you ordered. Surprised? Yeah, order a martini, that will go well with the penis-shaped cookie that you're noshing on.
So... I guess you now know how my Saturday night went. One of the girls tried to initiate conversation with me when she came up to the bar to get drinks. Her opening line? "You look depressed." I was, in fact, not depressed, and I'm pretty sure I looked completely normal. This is a horrible, horrible opening line - I don't know what kind of response she expected, or where she thought the conversation could go from there. Luckily, I had just paid my tab so I was able to walk away without a substantive response. But seriously, ladies, just because a guy is sitting at the bar and not lavishing attention on your little whore party doesn't mean he's depressed. And if he is, maybe it's because of you.

I'd guess, however, you were not at one of those bars...
Imagine, if you will the dudes who LIGHT UP when they see a bachelorette party enter a bar. Those guys are way scarier than the women who are a part of it all. Most of the time.
I refuse to ever coordinate this kind of thing, though. Follow, sure, but enver be held responsible.
I also refuse to touch anything penis related though. It's just a fucking deal breaker.
I always suspected I would dislike bachelorette parties. My fears were confirmed when I was at the House of Blues on Mandalay Bay in Vegas one night, surrounded by at least five separate sets of bachelorette parties. They were all tragically the same - shitty veil on the bride, penis accessories, list of ridiculously stupid tasks (which of course involved getting someone's boxers - you're on the money there), and stupid "hot" outfits, like the ones all dressed like catholic school girls.
I need to barf.
AUA - "Dad always thought laughter was the best medicine, which I guess is why several of us died of tuberculosis." - JH
Tom - indeed, I can't imagine a bunch of guys with fake vaginas ordering women to take off their underwear in a bar.
ODGHITS - yes, some guys see bachelorette parties as blood in the water.
TUL - yes, AdMo, and I know I should expect it... but I don't have to like it.
K - I wouldn't be entirely opposed to the schoolgirl uniforms.
These arrangements are pure hell but we are forced to submit and I still have about 45 left to go. FUN FUN.
So men...consider yourselves lucky. We not only have to attend this crap, we have to pretend we are having fun AND pay for all of it.
You just have to sit there and be disgusted. Lucky bastards.
For the annoyance, we tip well and buy the boys shots. It's the least we can do...
Nothing is worse than being a homosexual, unable to actually get married, and have to see those twats roll up in the gay bar because they think its cute to go to a gay bar or anywhere with a drag queen. Trust me, the gays could give a shit that you're marrying your boyfriend from college who probably loathes you as much as we do and the drag queens think you dress like a cheap whore (and that's saying something). So my advice, stay home and think about whether you really want to wake up next to that asshole the rest of your life.
Was that bitter?
LB - good point, but I'm not a fan of reality.
TSS - um, fuck you in the ear.
And the "depressed" line is stunning. You should have just burst into tears and started weeping on her shoulder. What madness.
