So cakes and cookies are good and all but nothing beats your grandma manning up and doing a keg stand.  This nanna here is a true trooper at the age of 83!  What you didn’t see is grandpa off in the corner doing a bong hit….

Well it is about that time again, no not fall, but Oktoberfest!  You know what that means; beer steins, beer wenches, and beer guts!

Let’s welcome in the drinking season with some…..boobs. Courtesy of COEDmagazine.com

Me and Dyna just attended a welcome home party for Shipyard’s seasonal Pumpkinhead Ale. It’s something we look forward to all year (I think I still have some in my fridge from the stock-up last year…)

If you happen to be a fan of Pumpkinhead, pumpkin flavored brews, or just fall stuff in general, get ready to hit your local Shipyard reseller. This stuff rules.

There can’t be a better thing to master in life than rock, paper, scissors.  This talent alone can earn you shotgun, avoid having to buy the next round of drinks, or avoid having to talk to the ugly girl between the two of them.

So if you have yet to master the art of rock, paper, scissors don’t fret.  It’s very simple.  So simple it can be done in three simple rules.

1. Play paper first. Rookies tend to lead with rock, so paper is the safest opener. (A savvy opponent will try the same, causing a tie.) If you win, claim victory; if not, start the next throw right away, because of course it’s two out of three.

2. Exploit copycats. Casual players often switch to the object that just beat them. You can encourage them to do this by shouting, “Paper wins!” when you defeat their rock. Then throw scissors on the next round.

3. Watch for doubles. People rarely throw the same hand three times in a row; if they play scissors twice, your next move is paper. Also, keep up the pace so they have less time to think and instead fall into patterns.

We can thank Graham Walker, coauthor of The Official Rock Paper Scissors Strategy Guide, for these easy to remember steps.  Best of luck, bitches.

We here at Average Dudes wish all the readers a happy 4th.  Eat some burgers, eat some hot dogs, and drink some frosty cold beverages, preferably with alcohol.  After all of that, blow some shit up!  Don’t do anything too crazy but if you do at least record it like these fools…

People always say that  you’ll drink  yourself to death.  Well after you accomplish that you can now be buried in your beer.  This holds true for Chicago resident, Bill Bramanti, who is a die hard Pabst Blue Ribbon drinker.  He was such a fan of the beer he designed his eternal resting box to look like his favorite can of brew.

Now that may seem like a stupid purchase for the mass majority but he’s found a way to get his money’s worth. He’ll be using it as a cooler till the die he dies holding none other than cans of PBR.

“Why put such a great novelty piece up on a shelf in storage when you could use it only the way Bill Bramanti would use it?” Bramanti’s daughter, Cathy Bramanti, 42, said.

Today marks the end of our Shipyard swag giveaway contest. We’d like to thank everyone that took the time to enter…all of the submissions were absolutely awesome!

And now, the winners! (more…)

We’re in the homestretch on this Shipyard swag contest. The entries are strong on quality, short on quantity. Let’s see some attempts here. Perhaps this video from Europe will get you in the competitive spirit.

We started this Shipyard swag giveaway last week which means that there’s only one week left! We’ve got some pretty awesome contenders right now so I highly recommend you get on over to the contest post and enter! All you need to do is leave a comment on the contest post explaining which Shipyard product you prefer and why. Best comment(s) win a Shipyard hat and t-shirt.

If you’re not familiar with Shipyard products, we’ve got a little cheat sheet for you too. Don’t care what Shipyard is? Just tell us what your favorite kind of beer is. Hell, just make something up! Do it!

Shipyard has to be one of my favorite breweries. There is nothing better than seeing that first display case full of Shipyard’s Pumpkinhead Ale in September. That’s when you know it’s officially fall and you’d better start stocking up before it sells out. Simply put, I love the stuff.

That’s why I almost pooped my pants with excitement when the good people at Shipyard agreed to hook us up with some swag to give away! We’ll be running some contests in the coming months to get you some neato stuff straight from Shipyard. Follow the link for details on the first contest! (more…)
