My Stag

Well boys and girls, I'm off tomorrow for the weekend of hell that is known as an Englishman's Stag Weekend...(Bachelor Party for our US members)

Now I believe that in any other country apart from the UK, this event is supposed to be a "last night of freedom" type ritual....drinking, strippers, drinking, more strippers, etc etc - generally lots of fun.

However in england, it usually consists of humiliating the stag as much as humanly possible...tieing them to lampposts naked, sticking them on a train to nowhere - naked and of course carting them around town wearing a 20 pound ball and chain around their ankles - naked. All manner of naked rituals. How pagan we are.

Anyway. To be short...I'm crapping myself. I've always been wise enough to be kind to other stags on their nights out, but I don't particularly trust my mates when they've got a beer inside them....they have very short memories. Any advice?

I leave for the weekend, friday at noon, after that I won't be reading this thread until Tuesday, so speedy advice/anecdotes would be appreciated

EDIT: BEHOLD THE 9 RULES OF THE GROMIT STAG (explanation on Page 3 of this thread)

Grom, look for a violet wand. That should warn them off.

I hope you wake up in a lovely cell in the morning. I'm sure your future wife will be delighted to be bailing you from the police station

Hmmmmm, Now that I'm thinking of it, I kinda find these lyrics fitting to your "predicament":
I can hear what you're thinking,
All your doubts and fears,
And if you look in my eyes, in time you'll find,
The reason I'm here.

And in time all things shall pass away,
In time, you may come back someday.
To live once more, or die once more,
But in time, your time will be no more.

You know your days are numbered,
Count them one by one,
Like notches in the handle of an outlaw's gun.
You can outrun the devil, if you tried,
But you'll never outrun the hands of time.

And in time all things shall pass away,
In time you may come back some say.
To live once more, or die once more,
But in time, your time will be no more.

<Guitar>

I can hear what you're thinking.
From In time by Mark Collie
I think it just says it all...

<EDIT>articularly this part
You know your days are numbered,
Count them one by one,
Like notches in the handle of an outlaw's gun.
You can outrun the devil, if you tried,
But you'll never outrun the hands of time.

*Nods in agreement with Fd*

Ye gods Grom. Bachelor parties here are SO much more beneficial to the groom ... altho one might get in trouble with the bride to be if it gets .... uh ... to be too much "fun" for the groom.

Grom the Groom. .... The Adventures of Grom the Groom. Kinda catchy.

Any way, the best of luch to you. Sorry, no advice other than perhaps going out and buying a male version of a lockable chastity belt and leaving the key at home so that you're not 100% starkers.

OR paint yourself with a pair of black boxer shorts ? Don't know what to tell ya.

Just stuff a handfull of 50 pound notes up the crack of yer arse, that way you'll have enough spare cash for transport and clothing to make your way back home.

Yeaouch, just when you thought you couldn't get anymore nervous, Arch comes through with a corker to really get you really worried. Probably best not to clench mate, you'll just sustain more injuries.

On a serious thought...

I understand the *Intent* to have *fun*, but how much fun can this truly be? And even more importantly, How can you consider people friends that would do this to you at a time that is suppose to the best time of your life? To me, this is a time to celebrate the union, not despair it, after all, she is the love of your heart or you would not have asked her to marry you.

@final: yeah thats all good and well, but its the end of going out boozing as a free agent, like the last supper or something, get ratted, get some whores, take pictures and ruin your life, if her indoors doesnt do it before hand of course.

maybe its the culture difference
