Invention: The Beer Kong
Tuesday, February 5th, 2008
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?
