this might be the coolest thing I've ever seen

 

[DEBuckeye]

That's awesome. I learned how to drink on shit like Colt 45, OE 800 and Red Bull. That probably explains a lot....

I learned how to drink on shit like Colt 45, OE 800 and Red Bull.

Ha. I haven't seen a bottle of Red Bull since I was in Georgia. Do they still sell that crap.

 

[DaytonBuck]

yeah, although scientests are still trying to determine why they're not suing the energy drink and how red bull is any diffrent than schlitz

 

[vrbryant]

I can assure you that this year's 40-40s, Central Ohio's Premiere Malt Liquor Event, will be entirely free of Red Bull, as it (a) is not a malt liquor, and (b) does not come in 40oz bottles.

 

[DaytonBuck]

so is this at a bar?

 

[vrbryant]

Nope. Open courtyard-type place in between apartment buildings. Very close to (and larger than) last year's venue, which easily accommodated about 80 people, with overflow into nearby areas.

 

[DaytonBuck]

any worries about the police?

 

[vrbryant]

Aren't there always? It's away from view of the street, and we've involved (or gotten the approval of) most, if not all of the nearby residents. Somebody would pretty much have to call the police for them to show up.

 

[vrbryant]

I have been corrected on two facts:

(1) There will be precisely six hundred (600) 40oz bottles of malt liquor this year.

(2) They will all be King Cobra (also known as "The Venom", and the Official Malt Liquor of 40-40s).

That is all.

 

[MililaniBuckeye]

Malt liquor is nasty shit...

 

[vrbryant]

It don't taste like pumpkin pie, no. But 24,000 fluid ounces of any other kind of alcohol would cost a lot more than $800. Besides, it's 40-40s: Central Ohio's Premiere Malt Liquor Event. Ya dig?

I remember my college days when you could get hammered on a couple of 40's of King C, complete with a pack of Camel Lights, and still get enough change from a $5 bill to buy a 32 oz draft at the bar. While I'm reminiscing about KC, I used to swear I was responsible for their move to wide-mouth bottles. After pounding a couple (really, is there any other way to drink it?), I called the customer service number and suggested to them that they come out with wide mouths, since that would make pounding them easier. They responded with a (highly comical when you think about it) "King Cobra advocates drinking responsibly" etc. My comeback was that someone drinking King Cobra isn't really concerned with responsibility, but with efficiency ( 2 x $.99 x 20 minutes = buzz). "King Cobra doesn't condone that" blah blah blah. I thanked them for producing the best sub $1 dollar 40, screw Mt. E and Lazer, and hung up. About a month later, wide mouths out in our area.
