Here's a chuckle for ya
« on: September 07, 2008, 05:09:20 PM »
My fiancee thought that instead of having the traditional bachlor/bachlorette parties (most of her party is out of state) she thought that a small dinner with friends would suffice.
OK, sounds good.
She picked the place (apparently at random) and makes the reservations.
She took control, less for me to do.
We arrive and I notice that the place is very clean, very upscale. The party arrives. We sit and order then I start to notice "things".

1). The men at the bar are very well dressed.  No women? ???
2). The music is mostly up tempo/dance mixes.
3). The service is great.

Then it dawns on me....THIS IS A GAY BAR!!!!! :o :o :o

I Start to panic (on the inside), then I lean over to my fiancee and ask "does this place have an "oreintation"?
She pauses then looks around and says "oh my..".

I spent the next nerve racking 20 minutes waiting for the reality of the situation to become clear to all in the party.  :-[
Then it happens.

Most thought it was funny, some were upset that they didn't pick up on it sooner, but all I knew is that my friends would never let me live this down....ever.
EVER!!

Anyway, we ate, had a few drinks and called it a night. And most of the party grabbed some local "flyers" which I'm sure these will be in our gifts for the next 10 years.

A story for all to tell.
I pray my best man has mercy for me in his speech.

Too funny.  Never let her live it down.  Any time you want to have the last word, just bring that up and have your way.

Well you certainly avoided the traditional.  And after 29 years of marriage, my advice is to shift the blame in situations like this.
Go metric, every inch of the way!

I've been to a gay bar once...  my sister took me to see a drag show when I turned 18.  The place was disturbing to me at the time (this was in my homophobic teenage days, and I refused to go into the bathroom to take a piss).  But looking back, it was actually a lot of fun.  Not that I would go there for my bachelor party, but to each his own I guess  ;D

In my opinion - the best parties I've seen - most fun, people SUPER happy, and all cultural, without puking, falling under the table, routs, bashings, stupid arguments were.... on the gay cruises. I've worked on the cruise ships, and gay-cruises were simply great, never ending parties. I mean, I;m not a party man, but i could clearly see that those guys knew how to have a ball WITHOUT turning it into, well, hwo to express is, troll-house.
AND I've been on lesbian cruises too. They didn't even come close.

Just laugh at it. Good story!

Ok, here you go - A tour bus full of aforementioned ladies (I was a Shore Excursion man) and I need to move few of them to another bus (on the same tour). Agent promises me a bonus (I think it was to be a panama hat - we were in Panama) to the ones who agree to move - so i take the mike and explain the situation, adding, "there's something special for the ones who will do the swap", so promptly I hear a strong voice - "And what is so special that MAN can offer me?" from rather XXL lady.... So i nearly blushed, but kept my ground saying - "well, I;m not sure about you, but my wife says she's happy with the offerings!" And after that the whole bus was shaking.....

Of course being the only male in the Shore Excursion office at that time I got my share of interesting propositions.... on the gay cruises. On lesbian one it was better to stay inside - it's funny how they don't tolerate the men, but yet in every pair there's one playing the "male" part... irony of it....

Well, say what you want. I personally don't go to any parties (I don't like places full of very loud music, smoke, and half-drunken people) I don't drink alcohol (I have good mood without artificial boosters), but life forced me to prticipate/visit few parties. And there are 2 major differences between gay ones and "standard" ones. On gay ones you see only men, but the party level (of culture and fun factor) is much, much higher.

And I'm not a gay-fan or something. I think that they shouldn't;t be given adoption rights, for example. But definitely those ones I've seen on those parties were happy, and cultural people. And that counts for me.

:D

Hey Buber, I asked for funny anecdotes, not politics!!!!   ;D

In my borhter-in-law bacherlor party, somebody said to go to a disco that he deemed as a fun place. So there we went. That was Salamanca, a small city in Spain that lives very much from agriculture and farming.


So into the disco we went, and I start to feel something odd. We were in our early twenties, and we were the younger in the place. Were are the young chicks? And what about the music? It dawned on me that it was a disco for mature singles or divorced. The ladies surrounded us like if we were the last men alive. Man, talk about harassing!!!!

That gave us some laughs about how the ugliest one harassed the soon-to-be-married, and we had some laughs at the feel of becoming the center of attention of the ladies. But the situation turned dangerous soon, because the place was full of the spanish variation of the farmer redneck, that used to went there because it was easy to pick on a lady. They started to stare at us in anger, for stealing the ladies from them, and starting to harass some of the guys with the intention of starting a fight. They had been drinking and had trouble becoming aware of the situation, but I don't drink alcohol and saw the trouble coming.

I tried hard to convince the group to leave the place "C'mon, we are having a lot of fun!!!". Finally I was able to explain the situation to a couple of them and between us we convinced everybody to go somewhere else.

Then we went to a fashionable disco. The chicks were hot, the music was good, and not a single chick put her sight on us for more than a millisecond.....  ;D
