SPRINGFIELD, Massachusetts (AP) -- An argument at a baby shower escalated into a brawl in which one man was shot and the pregnant guest of honor was beaten with a stick, police said.
[...]
Authorities said the shooting victim, Aristotle Garcia, got into a fight with a man who is dating his ex-girlfriend. The argument, over whether the woman let their 5-year-old daughter drink beer, escalated and drew in two other people -- Jazz Rivas and Juan Velazquez, said Police Lt. Cheryl C. Claprood.

When the baby shower's hostess tried to intervene, Rivas began hitting some of the guests, including the 22-year-old mother-to-be, with a large stick, she said.

Velazquez fired a gun in the air, then fired it into the crowd, hitting Garcia in the stomach, according to police. Garcia, 26, was in stable condition at Baystate Medical Center. The mother-to-be, who was seven months pregnant, was treated after the incident Saturday and released.
This is why you don't have men at a baby shower. At least, this'll be my excuse to get out of going if I'm ever invited to one.

You shouldn't invite your ex's either...

You know, many Latino men of my aquaintance demand to be present at these kind of events. It's almost as if the chauvinism goes into overdrive, and they think it's a cover for discussing extramarital affairs and mocking their manhood.







Which it is, but with games.

Even if it were, I'd find an excuse NOT to go. But then, I hate baby showers. I tend to drop off the gift, fake a convulsion and leave.

I hate them as well, but when it's my brother's wife's shower and held at my home, it's harder to get out of. I also went to one a few weeks back for a very good friend of my sister's, which actually turned out to be quite enjoyable. I say that because I stayed for two hours, a baby shower personal record, and the Ethiopian food was AMAZING.

When my friend was pregnant with my goddaughter, I was the hit of the party. I was the only guy they talked into playing the games with the ladies. All the others were too macho so they stayed out back to drink. I won two of the games. I declined the prizes, as they were feminine anyway. The real prize was the phone numbers from three of my friend’s girl-friends. We then went out back for the piñata, which I blasted in to a shower and candy. I even got the tiny Jack Daniel’s bottle (which won me a 5th of Jack.).

I would go to another if invited, though maybe I should pack my Glock just in case.

Juan, Garcia, Rivas, Velazquez, Dos Equis drinking five year olds...

Shouldn't this be a discussion on immigration reform instead? Just sayin'.
