Bostonherald.com - When Jonathan Morris’ daughter was planning her wedding, he thought the groom was getting overlooked. So he planned a guys-only "man shower" to welcome Brian Wigand into the family.  The party included manly snacks, games and gifts. Showers geared to grooms are a growing trend in the wedding industry, said Allana Baroni, the entertainment expert for the web site ehow.com. Men who have grown accustomed to attending coed showers with their wives and girlfriends in recent years now find guys-only parties an acceptable rite of passage, she added. It’s another example of grooms leaving their stereotypical roles behind, she said, noting that male bridesmaids and female groomsmen are becoming more common.  Men also are recognizing that showers are a great way to acquire tools and other necessities needed to maintain a home, said Abby Buford, spokeswoman for Lowe’s Home Improvement stores, which launched an online wedding registry in 2006. The "man gatherings," usually held to coincide with the bridal shower, give the husbands, brothers and uncles an opportunity to hang out, the 29-year-old said."There was no teasing or anything," the 26-year-old said. At his shower, guests ate from old license plates, participated in a nail pounding contest and were judged on how manly they wrapped their gifts, most of which were tools.

Man shower huh?  No thanks.  Because I’m pretty sure what they don’t tell you in the brochure is that your dick shrivels up and falls off as part of this deal.  Listen if I want to drink with my buddies I’ll fucking call them up and meet them at a bar.   I don’t need to pretend I’m a chick and have a foofy shower so I can get a new set of tools.  Plus what dude who actually uses tools would want a man shower to get them?    I mean how could you ever look at your hammer or drill the same way?  Regardless, I’m sure Canada is loving this.   The pussification of America continues….
