Rangers-Yankees?

Still time to go to happy hour near stadium and get a date. Ask nice looking gal with Ranger jersey where her seats are. She shows you her ****** outfield seats. You show her your VIP full service box seat tickets. She dumps her friends to sit with you. Winning!*

*This dating technique is endorsed and sponsored by the Cyrocks Advanced School of Social Interaction.

acronym: cASSi

Might as well emphasize the ultimate goal of this well-proven technique.

Basically, yeah.

Built specifically for tailgating. portable, LOUD, and somewhat of a novelty. We don't have a generator (yet) for tailgating, so having a battery powered sound system that will run for 7-8 hours on a charge is a must. Adds to the atmosphere.


so it's a boombox

er, can you fit beer inside it then? So it's a boombox that holds beer?

You really are the special little star aren't you :jimlad:

Yes - it is a boombox, that also holds beer. If you are looking for logic in this project, just stop. While I may be an engineer and star trek nerd, the only logic I applied to this project was "Can I build it? Yes? OK, I will".

However, if you'd like the practical application of this product:

- Great for tailgates without power
- Reduces beer coolers required for tailgating by 1 (typically have 2-3 coolers, now only need 2 beer-only coolers)
- This in turn saves space in the truck
- plays music much more loudly and with better quality than a portable radio
- All the drunk people walking by love it
- 600 watts of power!

Cowgirl can't wrap her head around this at all

Banjo, just so you know, CG was homeschooled. She's incredibly intelligent, but there are some social things or devices (like a beer cooler stereo) that it takes her a moment to grasp sometimes.


hey, from the picture I couldn't tell if beverages would fit inside and if not, what the difference (and therefore necessity) from a boombox would be.

Banjo has basically answered that question with "can I build it? yes!"


Though it not needing power and being able to fit beverages would make it quite useful for tailgating.

Took her a moment, but it looks like she's grasped it now.

it's like when my brother tried to make an alarm clock and then a snow machine. Though he (thankfully) didn't have the access to banjo's tools. Or the knowledge.

An alarm clock that makes snow? That sounds like a terrible idea. Except for on Christmas morning.


no, it was two separate attempts. Neither successful, which is good. The alarm clock was going to be a big battery (you know those big square ones?) that swung down on string to hit you and wake you up in the morning.

Concussion would have been the likely outcome.

Rabbuk. 00. Looks like we are going to DBQ to test out a beer/boom box cooler this weekend.

you are a *****.

We have many of those CFL lights.


In your new house? For pete's sake, why? Between the mercury and the fact that LED's are more efficient, I don't understand why anyone would ever buy a CFL. I tried a few when it was the only option other than incandescent, but other than those 2 or 3, I went right from incandescent to LED.

High mercury levels in the house is going to be good for the babies, right? Isn't that how that works?
