Apparently the male gender amps up baby showers. Enter the scene: Randy's best friend Matt and his wife are having their second baby (a little boy soon to be by the name of Ashton Kenneth). So, the not-so-surprise baby shower was where we found ourselves on the only appropriate day to have a baby shower for a little boy: Super Bowl Sunday. Many males also found themselves here, which is definitely a new-er experience for me. I always thought it was just females who bothered in these gatherings of 'oooh-ing' and 'awwwing' over cute baby clothes with a chance visit from the daddy-to-be towards the end of the shower. Seeing as how the day was already brewing with testosterone-packed competition, why not start the party a few hours pre-game with a little man vs. man race.
Contestant 1: Randy
Contestant 2: Matt
Oh, what a glorious race it was. They were neck and neck the whole way through chugging a half-bottle of milk through a nipple. I was having flashbacks to high school marching band camp skit night where two seniors always managed to challenge each other to chug a gallon of whole milk - neither ever won... But alas, this victory must go to only one. That 'one' was the man I then had to ride in the car with for the next 3+ hours back to Augusta. Ladies, remember this when you invite or encourage your husband/boyfriend/male friend to attend baby showers. They will find a way to masculinize the shower. No simple games that involve avoiding saying the word "baby" or guessing the circumference of the pregnant belly...this is intense competition. Be prepared!
