Right Now There Are 5 Guys In A Basement, Playing LAN Video Games

[matcom]

they are wearing headsets.

they are drinking diet coke

they are screaming "YOUR MY BITCH" when one kills the other and giggling

they are in their mid 30's

they are calling this a "BACHELOR PARTY" :eyes:

i witnessed this for 5 hours. i played pool (by myself) and drank beer.

i could not take it anymore.

i need a shower. :scared:

[dorktv]

1. Sounds like the kind of guy I would marry.

Them not you.

[VOX]

2. Toss some tear gas down in there and clear 'em out!

A man's gotta have his peace and quiet around the house. :)

[matcom]

4. they aren't in MY house!

i had to drive an HOUR each way to witness this. AND i had to miss the DU BBQ to do so.

i had feared this would be the case. it was worse than i feared :cry:

[VOX]

20. Then run for your life. (Guess you did.)

Sorry about the hour drive back. But at least you were outta there!

[xmas74]

3. Eat a can of pork and beans

and get a lighter. Either they'll clear out or the party will finally begin.

[matcom]

6. i''m home.

home sweet fucking HOME!

[xmas74]

9. I've been to many a frat party.

We used to start the party w/ a banquet of hard-boiled eggs, pork and beans and beer to wash it down. Then we sat back to see who could light one first.
It was funny.

[Cobalt Violet]

5. Where the pics???

:P

[mike_c]

7. oh dude-- you went to the bachelor party....

Was the beer any good?

[matcom]

10. i brought my own

Corona

either that or diet coke :eyes:

[mike_c]

25. that story would be funny if it wasn't so sad....

Did those guys somehow miss learning to party?

[GOPisEvil]

8. If I was there, we'd have played Tiger Woods Golf on the XBOX!

:P:bounce:

[matcom]

11. with headsets?

you didn't call me YOUR bitch last time x(

[GOPisEvil]

No headsets. That's a little much.

I should have called you my bitch, since I had that hole in one! :P

[matcom]

17. but if you don't have a headset....

how can you talk to your "squadron"?

[GOPisEvil]

19. The guy's sitting right next to me...

...why do I need a headset?

[Zuni]

21. why not?

[GOPisEvil]

22. It does complete the geek ensemble doesn't it?

;)

[Zuni]

29. bingo

At least they aren't dressed up as Star Wars characters and playing star wars role playing games.

[matcom]

33. oh, but one DID

and had his photos to PROVE IT!! :cry:

[Zuni]

36. that is all too much to bear!

:cry:
Matcom, how did you end up over there? If you were involved, I would have expected something far more sordid.

[matcom]

38. my boss

my boss is getting married

THIS is his big sendoff

i weep

[Zuni]

42. you better get a couple extra vacation days for this

[matcom]

24. apparently, its a requirement

:eyes:

[GOPisEvil]

28. I actually have a friend that plays XBOX live, and he wears a headset.

However...the people he plays against ARE NOT IN THE SAME ROOM. Not even in the same city! So for that, I understand. But if you're all in the same room, why?!

[matcom]

30. you need one if you engage the.....

"Squadron Chat Module" x(

"base to red one. base to red one. enemy engaged......"

[GOPisEvil]

34. Sqaudron Chat Module?

:rofl:

OK...I shouldn't laugh. I'm sure they're nice folks. :spank:

[matcom]

35. yes. "Squadron Chat Module" you laugh

while i cry :cry:

[GOPisEvil]

37. How on EARTH did you get roped into this?

[matcom]

40. my boss is the one getting married

x(

[GOPisEvil]

45. He makes 8 gazillion dollars a month and THIS was his party?!?!

:wtf:

Man, I feel your pain. The female football web site, the shrew football lady, the asshole boss. I can't believe you're not drunk yet.

[Zuni]

47. female football website?

:wtf:

What exactly has Matcom gotten into? I need a drink and a valium now.

[matcom]

51. check your PM

[Zuni]

54. I had no idea

:cry:

[matcom]

49. no no no NOT the OWNER

my IT boss

[GOPisEvil]

53. OOOOOOOHHHHH....

...whew...

:D

I'd still get drunk if I were you, not that you need much arm-twisting.

[Zuni]

31. I've done that before

X-Box live is actually pretty fun.

[Zuni]

16. the headsets are a little nerdy

as is playing video games at a batchelor party...

[MrSlayer]

12. Super geek paradise.

Doesn't sound like any kind of a party I'd like to attend but at least they aren't harming anyone or promoting the culture of whorism and making Jesus cry by going to a sinful strip joint. Heh.

[matcom]

27. no. no pink diapers

:D

[Zuni]

13. what game are they playing?

I have been to a LAN party to play Battlefield:1942 before---cool game. It was kind of nerdy, so I drank beer and looked at porn to make me feel more masculine.:P
It wasn't a bachelor party tho. The only 2 options for a bachelor party are getting insanely drunk or strippers or both

[matcom]

15. Unreal Tournament 2004 (?)

i think

[Zuni]

18. Is that one of the games with cyber hot ladies?

a drunken parade of strip clubs and sleazy night clubs for the nerd crowd :eyes:

[matcom]

26. not that i saw

but plenty of Photon weapons were had by all :eyes:

[Zuni]

32. Sweet

I was wrong to think these guys were nerdy.

[Blue-Jay]

14. Were they eating Hot Pockets?

[Beware the Beast Man]

23. Damn, I'm a geek, and even I went to a strip club for my bachelor party.

Sheesh!

[Zuni]

39. seriously

I have seen some pathetic dudes at strip clubs---there is definetly no coolness requirement

[fujiyama]

41. The video game part is OK

though I can only play video games for so long before I get tired of it. Wearing headsets is kinda kooky though.

But Diet Coke? At least have some decent pop.

Then again, screw it, just gimme the beer!

[Ready4Change]

43. Bachelor parties I've been to:

- Strip club :eyes:

My least favorite. While I recognize the attraction, I just don't see the worth.

- Canoe trip :hippie:

This was fun. Saw my first bald eagle. Lots of memories.

- House party with "imitation" stripper :D

We had a friend show up as a stripper just to get the groom nervous. Worked, which was fun.

- Pool hall B-)

This was mine. I wanted something low key and gentlemanly, so we went to a higher end hall nearby. It was good stuff.

- RPG game :thumbsup:

We shanghied the groom from a family dinner, leaving them sure we were going to do the strip hall, get the groom drunk and arrested thing. Then we went to one of our houses and played Traveller. (Think D&D in space) To be truthful, even though this wasn't mine, it was my favorite. The group of guys at it (including the groom) had been gaming since middle school, and the game itself involved our characters giving the grooms character a bachelor party, with gunfights, car chases, the works. Excellent game.

Normal bachelor parties are dull.

[SOteric]

44. D'oh! Someone threw a bachelor party for you & DS1's wedding!!!

I can't wait to see the photos.

[matcom]

46. nope.

i'm wearing a pink diaper and sporting a binkie for DS1's party babe!

:D

i wanna ride on my horsey too!

[Zuni]

48. NAZI

how dare you make fun of weird fetishes on a LIBERAL website :grr:

*just kidding

[SOteric]

50. What, - one wonders, -

will be jumping out of that cake.

[matcom]

52. Roman Gladiators

and that is ALL you need to know!
