Guy Has Bachelor Party In Vegas So His Friends Put His Face On A Gigantic Genital Warts Billboard On The Strip (Plus A Bachelor Party Tip That Will Keep You Out Of Trouble)
Normally I’m not a huge fan of Bachelor party hijinks. Shirts, elaborate dinners, weird hats etc etc. Bachelor parties are for everyone to get a little scummy, stay under the radar, do things that they shouldn’t do but can get away with by saying “it was a bachelor party”, and basically never talk about any of it again. Drawing attention to yourself in any capacity is the exact opposite direction every bachelor party should go in, like the guys I see in the bleachers at Wrigley all wearing matching shirts, fuck that, I want to be a lowkey scumbag all weekend, not brazen and calling attention to myself. Leave that to the bachelorette parties with dick necklaces and pink cowboy hats. But, with all of that said, I liked this. That’s some serious planning and work that went into this and it’s a genuinely funny thing. To put your friends face under the bright lights in Vegas as a Genital Warts ad? I’m a fan. Creative, harmless, and a story that you can bring back home with you, because there is nothing worse than coming from a bachelor party with simply “it was fun” as your only response to your wife/girlfriend asking about your weekend, they see through that shit EVERY time*.
Sort of related but I’m over Vegas as a bachelor party destination. Maybe it’s because I’m getting old but it’s never as fun as you think it will be. It’s not even that it’s too cliche, “Vegas Baby!”, it’s more that on a bachelor party you want to actually see some friends you haven’t seen for a while and in Vegas it’s an absolute free for all. Every Vegas bachelor party I’ve been to has gone the same way. Everyone gets drunk, splits up, and loses a ton of money. Nashville, Charleston, San Diego, Austin, go to those places over Vegas.
*Here’s another tip for everyone out there. Before you start drinking the first night you sit down with all your friends and basically do a round table “catching up”. Everyone has to talk about themselves for 5 minutes and explain what’s going on in their life. Almost like a Day 1 icebreaker at a company orientation. Provide a “fun fact” that everyone can then take home with them. Absolutely invaluable information when you’re trying to fill the “how was your weekend” void without revealing all the shitty things you did. Old hockey trick.
