Disgusting Baby Shower Game.
I just heard about a baby shower game: you take a few different kinds of candy bars, melt each one down, and place it in a diaper. Then you smoosh it around, after which it gets passed from attendee to attendee, and they are invited to look, smell, and possibly taste it in order to identify it. Charming, isn't it?

I haven't been to a baby shower in years, so I wasn't aware of this particular game. Is this disgusting? Or is it just me?

3. I refuse to attend baby showers
I find them immensely insipid.

4. Speaking as a guy...
...I've never been to a baby shower, and had no idea what kind of things went on at them. Now that I know, I'll never ever go to one!!! :scared:

6. You would have loved...
the last shower I co-hosted. The decorations were rainbow colored and the theme was "gay porn". :) The door prizes...gay pron. The prizes for winning the party games...penis shaped pasta, a tic tac toe set that the pieces were little butts and penises, a licorice whip, and (you guessed it) gay porn.

We made gigantic penis shaped cookies and had a decorating contest. It ROCKED!

Inquiring minds want to know! ;-)

9. Nope...just gigantic penis-shaped cookies
You wouldn't believe some of the things we decorated them with. White frosting was the least obscene thing. ;)

Somewhere there are highly incriminating pics of the attendees trying to eat the damn things where we were done. :)

7. As Skittles said, they are normally just insipid.
This is the first I've heard that they've ventured into the arena of disgusting.

And as a guy, you have a built-in excuse to never attend one, but be advised that it's becoming more popular for the father-to-be to also attend these fusterclucks. So, if your kids are grown, be very, very glad. If you have no kids yet, expect to be asked to attend if your SO is ever expecting a baby! Start working on your excuse now!!

10. Excuse #3
Never will have kids. Never ever ever ever ever EVER! I'll never have to go to one of those secret rituals and pretend to be interested while a hidden earpiece gives me the radio feed to the current hockey game. :D

(Trust me, ZenLeftyGirl would have a similar hidden earpiece playing the hockey game to her too...)

12. You are both very lucky that the dreaded Baby Shower won't
be an issue for you!

May I ask if you and ZenLeftyGirl are married? If not, and you ever tie the knot, you may find yourself expected to attend the nearly-as-dreaded Bridal Shower!!! These are also insipid, but you CAN get some cool gifts!

16. Marriage? Ha!
We're just not interested. We live together and share a house and its mortgage. How much more do we need to evidence the fact that we love one another? :loveya:

Maybe we'll have a hockey shower someday. :D

14. but Zen...
What happens when the Avs lose, and you and ZenLeftyGirl both exclaim "shit!" at the same time out of 'nowhere'? How will you get out of that awkward situation? :o

17. I'll turn to her and say
"That's just what I was thinking!!"

She'll say "Yeah, what a lousy gift that was."

I'll say "Let's go to Choppers and watch the hockey game over a few beers."

She'll say "Cool! Who's with us?"

We'll leave with half the people who showed up to the shower. And we'll never get invited to another one again.

The End.

O, I just love happy endings. :D

13. the increasing infantilism of our culture continues
It's not the disgusting factor so much as the STUPIDITY factor that annoys me.

21. Yeah, but it's funny when you actually put POOP in one of them.
The party ends pretty quickly after that. :)

22. I've been to exactly one baby shower
and two bridal showers in my life. My lord, what a bunch of stupid-ass kindergarten bullshit people think of to do at those things! What a horrid waste of time. Look, invite me to your wedding, and I'll either come (if there's dancing and drinking) or send a gift (if it's one of those boring Pentecostal-type weddings). Either way, you'll get your stuff, but please, please, no showers. I'll send people money to NOT be invited to showers. I don't do "girly" very well.

Now, the bachelorette party - that's another matter. Bring on the male strippers and the dancing, I'm there!
