if the smirnoff people really came up with a self depricating viral marketing scheme, they are ****ing awesome and deserve my business. besides, all that matters is if our lives have more joy because of our participation... if someone makes money off of bringing me joy, more power to them.
Icing Brahs has hit the thailand 2+2 community. there were two icings last night at a farewell party for an Estonian 2+2er. the first was between the only two brahs at the bbq who had read this thread. Lank4ever busts out a Smirnoff Mule (IMO it's actually delicious... flavored ginger ale +lime) and starts sipping. Thwapperson makes a joke about whether or not someone had iced him. they blab about the thread for a little while, and the rest of us have no idea what they are talking about. The Mule was just a clever ruse by Lank4ever to find out who had read this thread. Nonchalantly, Lank moves his backpack over beside the pool, and sits back down. eventually, he asks Thwapperson to grab his backpack, and hand him something from inside it. Thwapperson opens the pack, and after looking past a bag of toasted oats (wtf?) realizes he's the first brah in thailand to be iced.
as the rules were explained, it got the imagination going. today, i wake up and one of my roommates (yourface) mentions that he couldn't buy any ices last night on the way home b/c of the late night booze rules. a little while later, we are all about to head down to a little local eatery called Larb Kata for lunch. Yourface grabs his laundry and says he'll head out first and drop his laundry off. It occurs to me that he's probably going to drop by 7-11 and set up an Icing for us at our lunch spot. I mention to Jeffman that we should swing by a 7-11 ourselves, preparing for a surprise block. if Yourface sets up a good double, he'll be faced with a sweet quadruple icing on the double block, to start the game off right.
we get to 7-11 to discover that it's big buddha day and no alchohol is sold. at Larb Kata, yourface mentions that it's big buddha day, leading me to believe he did in fact swing by for the setup, and hit the same obstacle. so close to an epic start
FWIW we discussed it, and think that the rules should require a cold icing. it really makes sense. in addition to preventing you from having to down endless warm ices, which is pretty lame in itself, it forces you to be timely and not lazy. you can't just stick an ice under someone's pillow or in a drawer, and wait for 2 days for them to discover it. it prevents houses from becoming full blown booby trap fests, and makes you have to work to ice somebody (and use a little forethought and perhaps some stealth)
it also takes the lameness out of ice blocking. no one can just always be carrying a warm ice in their pocket. you've got to have a feeling that an icing is coming.
I'm gonna enjoy this. will post some icing pics as they come in.
