Wanna Play?

I came across the latest and greatest drinking game today. It sounds perfect for my closeted-geek husband (although I argue he isn't so closeted).

Wisest Wizard drinking game
While fantasy role-playing games like Dungeons and Dragons are largely associated with nerdy kids, this drinking game has been gaining in popularity amongst both college students and the mid- to late-30s set, perhaps mainly for its endearing geek factor. The rules vary, but basically playing Wisest Wizard requires cans of beer and duct tape. After each player finishes a beer, they use duct tape to attach a new can on top of the empty one, thus building up their "wizard's staff." Each empty beer can signifies a level, and when players reach agreed upon levels they go to battle (i.e. take a shot of liquor). Other variations include wizard staff jousting. While we don't condone underage or binge drinking, this does sound a lot more lively than the classic card games we played in college.

Now, I don't really like beer, but if someone agrees to play this game, I would throw back a few just to make a wizard's staff.

Who's with me?

eh eh eh! need to go retro and make a polish cannon (I know this is politically insensitive but build a bridge and get over it...) out of the beer cans. of course this will be challenging as new generation cans are not the solid metal they used to be, but with much thought and copius amounts of premium one could cypher it out. cool part is it now involves fire and beer!
