Alternative Bachelor Parties

I read this article in the Chicago Tribune today about alternative bachelor parties. This guy wrote in with his plan: go to a ball game, dinner at ESPN Zone, and then out to a bar or strip club. Typical bachelor party. However, he wanted advice on alternatives in case they couldn't go to the ball game. Well, the article proceeds to prescribe facials and cooking classes. WHAT!!!

My bachelor party is coming up later this year and if I told my friends I wanted to get a facial and go to a group cooking class here's what would happen.

1. Get asked if I was gay by everyone...and start to question it myself.
2. Have my man card permanently revoked.
3. Tell my fiance to find another man--a real man--and move to Tibet and be a eunuch in some Buddhist temple.

FACIALS AND COOKING CLASS...WTF!?!

All bachelor parties don't have to be about alcohol abuse and naked chicks, but let's face it...the best ones are.

As for possible alternatives: go to the batting cages; go to a boxing gym, pad up, and beat the shit out of each other; have a poker tournament; and so on and so on. But whatever you do, don't get a fucking facial...pansy.
