I spoke with one of the other groomsdudes and B's brother, Paul. Of course the conversation steered itself toward our vacation. Collectively, the groomsdudes, who are all married and have children, simply need a vacation. If B wants to come along we can call it a bachelor party. If B does decide to join, we have all agreed that there must be some ground rules for our time wherever we go. So B, pay attention, stop watching reruns of 90210 and take some notes here.
- Married guys get as much phone time as they like. You, however, get 20 minutes per day, to be decided upon by the groomsdudes. You might get all 20 minutes at one time, you might only get about 30 seconds. You never know, but we'll let you know when you can use your phone. Otherwise your phone must be surrendered to a groomsdude.
- Your wardrobe will be chosen by the groomsdudes. You will wear what has been chosen. Don't bother packing any clothes, we have you covered...literally.
- Bring your wallet. There is a good chance you will be footing the bill for everything.
- Should Greg and I have our way, you will only be eating condiments and packets of saltines at all meals.
- There is a good chance you will be going to an all-male revue of some sort. You will go. You will not say anything. Otherwise, you will become part of the all-male revue.
- You will take all abuse, verbal and physical, with a smile. We may taunt you quite a bit about running into cows. Just smile.
- Should we allow you to drink alcohol, Jave gets to choose it. Remember it has been 10 years since he had a drink and he isn't so familiar with what is good anymore. Enjoy your watered down generic beer.
- You might be sleeping in a bathtub. Deal with it. If you don't complain, we will give you a pillow.
- At any time you may be asked to do either the Roger Rabbit or the Running Man. You will comply.
- Karaoke bars will be open. Just keep that in mind.
- Wherever we end up, it is a long walk back to Morro Bay. Wear some comfortable shoes.
- Your music selections will be between Marcy Playground and Kris Kross. Choose wisely.
Failure to adhere to any of these rules will result in sheer mayhem during the wedding. And guess who you would have to answer to for that. If you guessed Corrin, you would be correct. The rules have been laid out, it is now in your hands. Remember, anything else would be "wiggidity, wiggidity, wiggidity, wack!"
