What to do with cheap cans of Natty Lite

 
I once subscribed to a listserv about homebrewing,
and someone asked the group the following question:
 
     >Do any of you know of other fun beer related activities
     >that would be easy to organize and inexpensive to fund?
 
 
I replied to the list:

Sam & Max, in Freelance Police #1, offer the following:

                  Let's Play Fizzball!

 

It's the wacky new game that's filling hospital concussion and laceration
wards across the nation! And it's so easy to play.

 

o  Equipment
Get yourself a few cases of that cheap, nasty beer that's usually found stacked
and on sale near the checkout counter right before National Drinking Holidays.

 

o  The Pitcher
Ready to play? Shake the can vigorously. Get about 15 feet from the batter to
pitch.  A real easy underhand pitch is used. You're not trying to strike the
guy out. You want to see the can blow up, right? Right!

 

o  The Batter
You'll need an axe or mattock handle or some primitive looking branch. Think
Atomic War-Club size! Yeah! Swing like a mad ape. The object is to hack through
the soft middle and split the can wide open! Yahoo! Some fun, eh?

 

o  Fielders
What are you gonna do, try to catch a shredded metal can? What are you, stupid?

 

 

== Reference Section == Various Fizzball Phenomena == Create your own!

 

The Pinwheel - This is a great Fizzball effect! The can is smacked open and
rotates in the air forever, drenching everything in a 20 foot radius with
beautiful ribbons of foam!

 

The War of the Worlds - Picture the top of the batted can, snapped free,
spinning and gaining altitude like a hovering alien craft! Wow!

 

The Cannonball - This one is often frustrating. The swelling can is bashed over
the fence, unruptured and out of reach. But you might want to keep an eye on
the kids next door when they try to open it. Hee Hee!

 

The Time Bomb - A tiny rupture starts a fine spray-leak as the spinning can
skitters across the ground. Get it back in play before it's a dud!

 

Have fun and be sure to wear protective head gear (but only if you're some kind
of Goddam pansy), and maybe next time we'll tell you about 8-track tape skeet
shoot.
