So my buddy is in this bullshit relationship that I'm SOOOO close to talking him out of, and I've finally got a day off when he's off, so we're gonna go do guy stuff all day here in another week.
The current plan involves meeting at my place around 10:00 AM, heading to the local gun range to blow off a few (hundred?) rounds, then some nasty-greasy lunch at any of the many local eateries.
From there, we go west, just ride out into the prairie a little ways and see some country. He's a dedicated douche-canoeist, so nothing twisty, but miles is miles.
We'll probably catch a movie in the early evening, Transformers 2 I'm thinking, as no significant-other wants to see that.
Personally, I'd rather see this turn to Whiskey and Strippers right around that point, but his fiancee has forbidden him from even going to Hooters, so I'm not going to hold my breath.
Any other suggestions for healing the utterly betrodden male soul?

If you cannot Debauch because you get an IP blacklist error, try Debauching again time. It may work immediately, it may take a few attempts. It will work eventually, I don't think I had to click debauch more than three times. Someone is overzealous at our hosting company, but only on the first couple of attempts.

Some unpleasant miscreant was firing incessant database queries at our server, which forced the Legal Department of our hosting company, via their Abuse subdivision, to shut us down. No I have none.
All I can do it button the hatches, and tighten up a few things. Such as time limits on how long you may take to compose a post and hit Debauch! As of 24/01/10, I've set that at 30 minutes for now.

First fix:
Because the board got shutdown again because of a load of database, I had to fettle with the settings again.
As part of that, the server no longer stores what topics you have or haven't read.
IT IS STILL RECORDED!
But now, that information lives in a delicious cookie, rather than the forum database.
Upside: this should reduce the load of database.
Downside: if you use multiple devices to access the board, or you reject delicious cookies, you won't always have that information cookie. But the New Posts feature should take care of that.
PLEASE NOTIFY THE ADMINISTERRERRERR ABOUT ANY PROBLEMS!
- open the menu at the top
- hit New Posts to see what's actually new and browse the new stuff from there
- go back to the Forum Index
- open the menu at the top again
- click Mark forums read
this will zero the unread anything for you, so you can strive forth into the exciting world of the new cookie thing.

Depending on your locale and time frame, I find throwing knives/hatchets to be a great way to bro down, and lends itself to conversation much more so than some of the other agenda items.
It sounds like there needs to be at least some dialog, in addition to simple quality time, to bring this guy back around and let him know the deep concern for his future that you and others are trying to manifest.
ebay/amazon has plenty of decent, affordable hurlables- I've found these to be good compromise of price and quality:
There's a nice rhythm to activities like this (and darts, pool, etc.) where each involved has a chance to sort out his thoughts between comments and actual game play.
it's also REALLY gratifying to bury metal two inches deep from ten paces away, period!
Good luck- it sounds like a noble effort, and a great time all rolled into one!

Here's one that nobody seems to do anymore - rental car abuse.
If you can find a track or race section that squids frequent, scrape some clams together and rent a nice low-level sports car (NSX, Corvette, V8 Dodge Challenger) and go hotrod the sh!t out of it. Being careful to avoid photo-radar and cop-traps (a given), but find old, abandoned concrete areas to abuse the mother-luvin' hell out of it. Nothing feels more childish, more man-satisfying and yet sinfully destructive (all the while not damaging the paint). Go practice excessive cop turns, hopping 20" curbs, high speed side-slides and flinging it down the roughest, ruttiest, pothole-laden stretch of bad tarmac...make the motor smoke and destroy the alignment. Then return it with a wicked pull to the left, failed brake pads, a full tank of fuel and a smile.
Just a thought. The collision-damage waiver would be up to you, of course.

His old man (also a good friend) called me, not sober and not quite in tears, saying only half-jokingly that I had failed him by letting this engagement happen and letting it get this far.Sheesh, Rench, you're really obsessing over this guy's relationship.
Second to my own kid, this is priority A1. Besides, we went down to the Taste of Chicago the other day (taunting picture for Priest at a later date), and after a few beers (and no backrub, ya jackass
) he admitted that the two major reasons he's with her are he doesn't want her to destroy the house on the way out, and she frequently threatens suicide if he leaves her. I'm just trying to put the final nails in the coffin here. Figuratively will do, literally just as good.

Don't go see XFMRs 2, it sucks big dick.
I like the throwing knives option, quiet, braggin rights can be given and taken at each throw, and if you can get him into the mindset that his fiance is standing in front of the target block then the rest of the situation sorts itself out.
Good Luck.
p.s. Whatever you do do not get the guy hurt physically. The fiance could exploit the Florence Nightingale syndrome and he'd be lost for good.

When a SO tells their partner that they would kill themselves if the other ever left, then maybe it's time to test their steel. Maybe.
Because that sounds FUCKING CRAAAAZY!
