Invention: The Beer Kong

Some inventions are born out of inspiration and some are simply a matter of stumbling across an idea that just seems right at the time. Some inventions come from looking in at yourself and realising you’re doing something interesting enough to make a mental impression. And, to be honest, sometimes you’re just joking around and have a moment of tongue-in-cheek inspiration like the invention of Beer Kong.

Has everyone heard of a Kong? Its a hard rubber toy with a hole in it for dogs. The concept is easy - fill Kong with rice and mince and dog biscuits and throw it to Fido in the backyard for an hour’s playtime. The objective is less holes in the lawn, a higher survivability of the plants and an entertained Fido. Win-win-win.

So Beer Kong is much the same proposal but for entertaining your man. Freeze a stubbie of beer (small bottle) in the freezer. Yes there’s a similarity I can’t escape between warming a baby bottle and freezing your man’s Kong but we’ll have to skip past that. Take the frozen bottle and introduce it to your man with the addition of a dessert spoon so he can try to make it slushy with the spoon handle. The final step is to push him out into the yard and shut the door. Easy. Man will stay out there for in excess of one hour playing Beer Kong.

The win-win-win of Beer Kong is that while your man is occupied his eyes won’t be straying to other women, he won’t be moaning about the family financial position and he definately won’t be keeping an eye on what mischief you’re up to for the day. You, on the other hand, can go shopping or just relax in front of the television for that well earned break.

When your man does finish his Beer Kong you might throw him a six pack and leave him out there to enjoy himself. Or you could just introduce the game to your friends and have a Beer Kong party - you leave them at someone’s house and go to a party somewhere else. OK I’m only joking but Beer Kong has potential. Beer Kong Twister anyone?

    This is a great idea. They could have beer kong areas at the shopping centres
    where men can be dropped off and entertained whilst their partners shop.
    Maybe a few 8 ball tables.

    … and beer kong swimming pools where you can leave your man while you go swim safely in the real pool (so he won’t drown or chat up women)…

    … and beer kong paydays where he comes home every second thursday and you send him out to the backyard while you run down to the autoteller…

    I can see where you’re taking this Sue. Women are truely evil at the hands of the beer kong potential. :)

Andy Clarke's Transcending CSS: the fine art of web design has been sitting on my bookshelf for several months and I've finally made the time to read it from end to end. My favourite thing about this book from the outset is that it's a designer's book, rather than a technician's manual, for web designers. The artwork and direction in Transcending CSS is enhanced by the attention to detail in the feel and texture of the book itself, the size of it's pages and the feel of the cover in your hands. It's definately a book that affords the act of being read. Looking forward to it.
