rutang,

Obv the bartender didn't realize it was probably in his best financial interest to let the bro chug the ice.

it's not just that he didn't understand the game, if a group came in, and one of the guys is sipping from a bottle he brought with him in his pocket, a bartender shouldn't be a prick to the guy.

I' m thinking give someone who knows about icing an ice, then teach someone about it and tell them to go ice person we already know is blocking hence icing that person...

Guys, there are lots of weird and very strict state/county/local rules about liquor licenses that could potentially be violated if you let people bring in their own drinks and start chugging them in front of everyone. Or the fun hassle of trying to explain to the cops that the dude brought the Ice himself if he walks outside and chugs it on the sidewalk in front of the bar. Not to mention the annoyance of rampant icing if the bartender didn't act decisively when it first started.

Seriously, icing someone inside a bar with your own ice is ******ed.

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.
This is such a fantastic post.

Friday was my last day working as a bartender at a college bar. It was also one of our barbacks last days. I'll call him John. Both of us are gearing up for graduation this Sunday. It should be noted that our manager is very laid back and we dont serve Smirnoff Ice at our bar. Also, John had asked me if I had heard of Icing Bros two weeks prior, so I knew he was in the know and fair game.

It's about 9:00 pm and the bar is still relatively dead. I ask John to watch the bar for a minute so I could smoke. Instead I run across the street to a liquor store and pick up a sixer of Ice. I put 5 in the trunk of my and sneak one in to the bar with me and place it in a metal box that John likes to use when he is checking IDs at the door to keep his stamp and wristbands in.

At our bar we generally have 2 or 3 barbacks working on any given night that rotate from working behind the bar to checking IDs, so I assumed that at some point in the night he would switch to the door, bring his box, and get iced the first time he had to check somebodies ID. 45 minutes go by and sure enough up the steps to the bar runs John, from down by the entrance, cursing up a storm and saying "I can't believe you got me... you're going down". Now I had him right where I wanted him.

I let everything calm down for a while and allow John to plot his revenge. After two hours or so I run down to my car and pick up 2 Ices from my car. I hide one in my back pocket, covered by my bar towel, and give the other one to a bar regular. I ask her to take it down to the entrance and give it to John, saying that she bought him a Ice at the bar to get me back with. We don't serve Ice at the bar. John clearly should have known this, being a barback, but I was banking on him being way to excited to get me back to consider that it was a trap.

20 minutes later John runs up the steps with a freaked out look on his face shouting "Dude there's a fight downstairs, I need some help NOW!" As I walk from behind the bar he attempts the lamest Icing ever and simply pulls the planted Ice from his back pocket saying "You Just got Iced, Bro". The look on his face when I pulled out the hidden blocker from my back pocket was priceless

As an added bonus he got down on one knee and chugged both my ice and the planted ice. I'm not sure if that's in the rules or not, but I wasn't going to stop him.

This sounds douchey and very hilarious. I have two bachelor parties coming up in the next two weeks that I am going to test this at. Some twist on it that only the groom can be iced and he has to spend the whole bachelor party avoiding getting cleverly iced.

yeah this was the manager's issue with it. He softened up a lot when he realized the tab we had going, but still just did not get the joke when it was explained to him. Not that he didn't find it funny, he just literally did not understand it. I think he actually posted somewhere on the first few pages. I'd ask him about it.

I guess it's only a matter of time until some frat bro shows up in House's care with a rare brain aneyurism -which House will eventually determine was caused by one too many ine-cold icings.

Then maybe eminem can ice snoop dogg at the MTV movie awards.

Then Larry King will do a piece on it.

And finally my Mom will ice me when I come home for Xmas.

That's about the natural progression of things. Oh yeah, I forgot the last one - some movie trailer will come out with a "hilarious" preview scene that involves Rob Schneider and a wacky icing-gone-wrong.

Most everyone agrees the bartender is ok to tell them to not drink that inside. the point is his attitude and acting like a dick.

I agree icing in a bar is lame unless you are part of the staff. you can't really cleverly ice someone at a bar. having a waitress bring it up is pretty uncreative and lame. maybe if it had pool and you hide one in the rack slot. besides that though its lame.

among my group of friends who are doing it, there is this one kid who is really intense about it and prides himself on getting tons of people in the library, etc.

after our exam today, we had a review session for our test on friday which prolly 90% of our class attended (so like 125 people). the intense kid's bday is on saturday so we got the professor to call him to the front of the lecture hall so we could all sing happy birthday to him. he got really into it and was loving that we were all singing to him/that he was the center of attention. then our friend sitting in the front row hands him a 24oz grape ice and he had to take a knee and take it down in front of everyone.

also, one of our friends got iced twice before our exam this morning. there was one hidden in his oatmeal which he found at 7 and another was handed to him 10 minutes before our test. the first one was hidden days ago/wasnt meant to be found today. the second was just a dick move on the part of the icer.

for the first one, it was planned that we would get him to go in front of the entire class (as in the professor was in on it.) how else are you gonna get it to him in that situation other than handing it to him?

like i said, it's totally a dick move and lame (and the kid who gave it to him sucks) but he cant really just turn it down

Obviously those 2 are pretty hardcore runners who aren't going to miss a chance to get some miles in, regardless of attire or vacation status.

Rob Schneider is "ICED, BRO!" - rated PG-13.
