Shot Glass Roulette – Pick your Poison, Spin the Wheel

hdelgado

Ah, the drinking game…practiced in ancient Greece, as far back as the 4th and 5th centuries. Games involving booze were enjoyed in ancient China, usually incorporating dice, or riddles and questions, that answered incorrectly, required a drink. The simplest drinking games are a sort of endurance contest in which players compete to out-drink each other. I have many memories (okay, maybe not memories, but strong photographic evidence) of good time had by all, over many games of Beer Pong, Quarters, or Buzz.

Well, now there’s a new game to add to your party arsenal, check out Shot Glass Roulette, exactly as the name suggests, players give the wheel a spin, and, round and round it goes, where it stops, no one knows, but no matter who wins, everyone will be having fun while playing the drinking roulette! The set comes with the Roulette wheel, 2 balls, and 16 real glass shot glasses, with the numbers nicely printed on the glasses. The set lends a slightly more sophisticated air, than say, Beer Pong, and can be played with a whole lot less physical exertion or coordination.

So if you’re looking to host a memorable party (or casino night) and think Shot Glass Roulette might add to the festive atmosphere, you can pick one up at amazon.com for well under 15 bucks. Heck, at that price get 2. Just remember to drink responsibly, and if you can’t do that… make sure there’s a couch with your name on it, and don’t allow any cameras… I’m just sayin’…I learned that the hard way.

41ED1iVar9L

It’s down to the wire, we’re at the bottom of the ninth, with 2 outs… and you know you still have a few people left on your list that you can’t figure out one thing to get them. Maybe they already have everything, or you’re not sure what they like, in either case, I have the answer, and if you hurry, there’s still time to have one by Christmas.

Check out the Back to the Roots Aquafarm, incorporating both form and function, and utilizing the ancient Aztec art of aquaponics, a sustainable method of farming, combining aquaculture (raising aquatic animals) with hydroponics (cultivating plants in water). Scaled way down to this table-top ecosystem that requires no maintenance, other than a little fish food now and then.

This amazingly unique AquaFarm combines a 3-gallon fish tank with a nifty vegetable and herb grow bed into one closed-loop system that fits easily on almost any kitchen counter. The environment takes care of itself, with the waste from the “fishie” providing nutrients for the plants, and the plants purifying the water for the fish!

So get yourself a Betta fish or a couple of Guppies, and use the included organic wheatgrass and basil seeds or get some other leafy greens, like parsley, cilantro or mint, and try your hand at Aquafarming. It’s the perfect gift, for the person that has it all, and its only around 60 bucks at amazon.com. Choose expedited shipping at checkout, or use Amazon Prime, and you can cross that last person off your list. Hurrah!

website-cover1youtube

You already know that Korus makes one spectacular speaker. The stand alone, portable unit, the V600 kicks the competition handily, with a fabulous wireless connection that allows no lag time, popping or dropping, and has an amazing sound, with full cordless portability, letting you bring your soundtrack to every picnic, tailgate or day at the beach, but what you might not know is Korus also has a smaller sibling, meant to amp up your existing Korus music system, or as a fantastic stand alone option for smaller spaces.

While the V400 does require an electrical outlet, it is much smaller, and lighter than its big brother, allowing for placement in a bedroom, or on a kitchen counter. With the same plug and play functionality as the V600, this little guy manages to deliver big, big sound, and when used together with the big Kahuna, you need to just step back and let the dance party begin.

Korus’ patented SKAA audio technology transmits its signal through either a 30-pin, lightening or USB baton and delivers incredible clarity over greater distances than your old-school Bluetooth. Check to the video here. Having a party? Korus even lets you share your tunes in seconds, you just need to pass your Korus Baton to your friend, and presto! they can be streaming their playlist to one speaker or up to four, simultaneously.

So if you’re looking to grab your first Korus, or you have a small space you want to fill with sound, or you simply want to add on to your killer Korus system, you won’t be disappointed with the V400. Check it out at korussound.com for under 350 bucks, and yes… If you act fast, you can still get one in time for Christmas!
