Please, no pictures!

I went to a friend's bachelor party in Austin this past weekend. That city is awsome for such events. We went out on 4th, 5th and, of course, 6th Streets.

We had fun. That's about all I can tell you. You want details? Tough.

Why no details? Not because we were crazy and irresponsible (we weren't). Not because there were hookers and arrests (there weren't). No details are given because that is a bachelor party rule. It may as well be a constitutional ammendment. Write it in stone. We could have gone to a backgammon tournament, and there still would be no details given.

Tara asked me when I got back if I had any pictures. Obviously, she wasn't aware of the rules. If "no details" is rule No. 1, then no cameras or pictures, is rule No. 2. Cameras and pictures egual evidence. No evidence is allowed at a bachelor party. Aside from the rule, nothing looks more rediculous than a bunch of dudes taking pictures of themselves. I found the photo above from the movie "Tomcats". This is Exhibit A for why cameras aren't allowed.

This is unlike women, who have to have a photo album of every night they go out. Every birthday party, every bachelorette party, every wedding or baby shower. When you give a woman an excuse to have the camera out it's like a Lifetouch studio. And the first picture taken of any pose or group is never good enough. "My eyes were closed." "I have a hair in my face." "There's an ugly guy in the background."

So, always remember fellas — no cameras and no details at a bachelor party.
