This story had me feeling all sorts of things. The biggest thing was probably a feeling of disgust from the Stadium Pal. The entire concept sounds like an awful idea, and there are much better "manly" accessories out there! I feel bad for the guy for ever thinking that attaching a bag of urine to your calf is a good idea in the first place. That brings me to the second biggest emotion felt during this reading: a comical pity. I have heard of girls feeling the need to wear fake butts or fake boobs but I cannot say I have ever heard of a guy who was actually willing to do so to make himself feel better (or of a girl who was willing to take the fake butt off the guy's hands; I feel like there should be some sort of sanitary issue there but I guess not). The fact that he was so worried about his butt was comical to me, because it does not seem like an issue most guys care about. The more I read, the more I started to wonder if Sedaris was straight or gay. After some googling I found that he actually is gay, and I think this made the story funnier in a different way. I still felt pity for him as he described his sister's forceful and ridiculous shopping trips with him, but I started imagining those guys who are victim to girls who are excited to finally have a "gay best friend".
I also found the comment about why bow ties are not okay pretty funny. I shared it with my fratty guy friends and they did not enjoy it as much as I did. Oops
