Huski Chills Your Brew

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Design, Misc. Tech, Science,

For those of us who like to nurse our brews, but not after they turn room temperature, we cannot wait for this prototype to come on the market. Invented by 22 year-old Kent Hodgson, the Huski Beverage Chiller can ice up your beer in a few seconds with CO2 and costs about 7 cents apiece. At about the size of a pencil, it forgoes the need to pre-chill drinks or carry around extra ice. It works with plastic cooling cells in a dock that houses the carbon dioxide that expands and becomes dry ice. Hodgson is hoping that his dream will become about a $50.00 realty in time.

No need to go out for an evening of arcade amusement. The Gamerator is loaded with 187 classic games and a refrigerated interior that can hold a keg of beer. The cabinet includes realistic joysticks, buttons, and trackball, a 24-inch LCD and two cup holders. When you tire of the old stuff, you can hook it up to almost any PC or game system with an adaptor. Currently being sold on eBay, the minimum bid is at $2,000 and the auction will run until November 10.

Beerbelly, for Lazy Drinkers

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Design, Misc. Tech,

Once you become a male over the age of 30, if you enjoy a good brew often, chances are you will develop a larger midriff to show your indulgence. Get a head start with the Beerbelly, an 80 oz. polyurethane “bladder” and an insulated neoprene “sling” that you can strap on before the next scrimmage. The gadget was devised by 3 men who wanted to sneak beer into a movie theatres and ball games. The device will hold hot or cold drinks and one size will strap on up to 40-inch waists. You can either pour the liquid into a cup or drink from the tube/nozzle. The Beerbelly carries a MSRP $39.95 and the company also offers a Winerack for the ladies.

Bevy Protects shuffles

Bevy Protect your iPod shuffle with this original Bevy case that also allows you to wrap up your earbuds, carry your keys and, after removal of your PMP, pop the top off a brew. The Bevy was awarded the 2007 MacWorld design contest, leading us to believe that Mac people cannot do without their Heinekens (just kidding.) The gadget is temporarily out of stock, but you can pre-order for the next batch at Firebox at a price of $14.95.

Git-R-Done: Drink Like Larry the Cable Guy

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Cable, Gossip, News,

Blue Collar Comedy Tour Just what the world needs: another beer. Git-R-Done beer had been launched by SchillingBridge Winery& MicroBrewery, a company in the small town where Larry the Cable Guy grew up. Git-R-Done is a light beer with plenty of flavor and body, according to brewery spokespeople. The Cable Guy visited the brewery in July 2005 to approve these beer efforts. The phrase “git-r-done” is a catchphrase popularized by the comedian, who uses a particular brand of “redneck” comedy and jokes to get his funny messages across. Larry the Cable guy first shot to stardom thanks to The Blue Collar Comedy Tour, a movie as well as a series on cable‘s Comedy Central, but it’s his catchphrase that everyone remembers and repeats - endlessly.
