So, breaking from tradition, and doing what no self-respecting male would do, me and a friend (Joey) planned a “guy only baby shower” for our elders quorum president.
It quickly became known as the “man shower” and it was tons of fun. First off, it was a surprise, and that added it’s own element of excitement, but since this was a “Man Shower”, we did things in a manly way.
Joey smoked 4 tri-tips (15 pounds worth), a side of beef ribs and a side of pork ribs. Joey is Cajun and master of the grill and the food was awesome. Best tri-tip ever. You could cut it with a fork. Sides where potato salad and Lima beans cooked with bacon. It was great. The best part? All that food and only 10 people to eat it. Have you ever eaten 1.5 pounds of tri-tip by yourself? Plus ribs? Wow!
Of course what’s a man shower without games? We played “who can change a baby diaper the fastest. I didn’t win. It took me 26 seconds to whip the old one off and strap the new one on. The winner came in at 17 seconds.
For the other game, someone melted 14 candy bars into 14 diapers. You had to look into the diaper, smell it and guess what candy bar it was. The winner of that game got 12 of 14 correct. Do you have any idea what a “100 Grand” looks like melted into a diaper?
Prises for both games where new BBQ tool sets.
Anyway, good times. Lots of laughs. I highly recommend the occasional man shower. If nothing else, it’s a good excuse to eat lots of great BBQ.
