Riviera is the hotel from Casino

Re: Riviera is the hotel from Casino

You know, this just gave me an idea.

When I was in college, we made a four-storey yard of ale. This basically involved a standard yard glass, big metal funnel, and a garden hose. The principles behind its operation are probably self-explanatory, and not entirely disanalogous to the concept of drinking from a firehose. What I can't adequately describe here is the 'oh-shit-here-it-comes-no-wait-not-yet' air of anticipation and trepidation while air is displaced out of the hose (with accompanying sounds) before the beer makes it to the other end.

Now imagine the same idea only making use of the Rivera's greater height. Sure, the liquid's only going to move at the same speed, but the increases in volume possible with greater hose length could add a new dimension to the game.

We'll also need a disclaimer to hand to the participants: "Not to be used as a substitute for bathing or showering."

Edit: I called the Riviera. They didn't have exact figures to hand, but estimated the height of the main tower at around 230 to 250 feet. This could be interesting.

Haha, funny ass shit. That's when the barrel comes flying out the window and smashes the person on the head. You're talking about a very challenging feat but if you're down for doing it let me know so this monument of triumph can be recorded in history

True, but I'm pretty sure I'm gonna have the longest hose at Defcon.

So, you are bringing more "hose" to Las Vegas, and you're going to have the logest hose at defcon. Homonyms + implied metaphor?

"Heh-heh. heh-heh hrm. He said, he's got whores and a long schloing. heh heheh hrm."

As funny as this is, I think recording the first person to attempt to use this on film will be worth the time to watch.Even if it isn't a train wreck, the look on their face when they realize, "oh no! Here it comes" will be pricesless.

Homonyms can be such amusing things sometimes.

Isn't The Riviera the "Casino" (not hotel) from the movie Casino?

Re: Riviera is the hotel from Casino

Mmm... Bigger booms :)

Sure, let me know what you've got in mind. Right now I'm just waiting for the hose to arrive and pretty much have no real set plan for this other than to set it up and see what happens.

Yeah, I'll send you a PM with what I've been working on.

What a waste of alcohol. Where I come that could be considered alcohol abuse.

No way! Actually, I think where this is going is: will Alcohol separate from the beer (water) if it is going at a high enough velocity? And if so, how do we seperate the alcohol as it comes down the tube?

Che?
