Killing Boredom

[TheJester]

I just got some pictures from some Rat brothers on a job, that are some of the funniest damn things I've ever seen. They HAD to have been pretty damn bored, but it is EXACTLY like them to come up with it. I'm hoping that they will let me post the pictures, cause it's some funny shit.

Well, maybe posting the pics isn't such a great idea. However, I do believe it was one of the best things we've put ourselves through to date and I encourage other Rats to try it (also wish you coulda been here, Jester). It plays out like this;

First, think of the Johnny Depp movie "Edward Scissorhands." I don't remember much of it other than he's stuck with the crippling disability of having razor sharp knives for hands, and is therefore unable to perform many basic functions other than trimming some trees and I think he killed a guy or something. Doesn't matter.

Anyways, the game is "Edward Fortyhands." Every Rat playing has two 40oz. bottles of his beer of choice (Tecate for us, in case you couldn't figure that out from the avatar) duct taped to his hands. We didn't have duct tape, and substituted packaging tape- worked just as well but didn't show up too well in the footage or pictures. And you're stuck with your new liquid-filled appendages until such time as you finish both. Pretty basic, right? Until you factor in that people willing to commit themselves to strapping 80 ozs. of hooch to themselves have probably been drinking since noon or so, and will need to light cigarettes about every three minutes or so, and will probably need to, well, let's just say make room for the remaining beer. Not so easy to do with the business end of a bottle.

We came out of it fairly well, nearly burned down a fellow Rat's apartment, dropped several cigarettes, I burned off about half of my right eyelashes lighting up off a stove I lit with my mouth. We managed to drag out the grill and get the coals going ("screw it, drop the bag of charcoal in there and light the whole thing on fire!") before some of us regained normal function of our hands.

Good times.

However, and take this from me from personal experience... you will need someone who isn't playing the game to strap you to your newfound disabilities. And to free you when you've finished your beers. And they might find themselves in a rare position of power when you're ready to be cut loose.

Good luck, guys. Please don't try this with 80 ozs. of Baltika 9, or you will probably suffer from an unfortunate case of death. Happy drinking.
