what the 12 year olds don't know...

After taking the girls to SBC park for an afternoon of sun, baseball, cotton candy, ice cream, AND a retard enthusiastically playing "pocket pool" we headed over to another couples house for dinner. It was there I made an amazing (re) discovery long forgotten since my college years. The Kegarator.

First let's be clear... the Kegarator is the king of all garageware. Everyone over the age of 15.5 knows this and in responsible hands the kegarator is an efficient and fun way to enjoy a pint or two after a long day. In the wrong hands however the Kegarator can be what legends are made of. As a parent of two young girls i'm now pondering ownership of just such a garage accessory:

Pros:

1. Beer is always in the ready
2. Beer is always cold
3. Beer is always cold and ready in the Garage

Cons:

1. Teenage boys will know beer is always in the ready
2. Teenage boys will know beer is always cold
3. Teenage boys will know beer is always cold and ready in my daughters garage
4. Re-state from 9 to 6 as the 12 year old community may pool their resources in an attempt to encourage the use and distribution of these machines. Their purpose: to systematically reduce body count in confrontions with with social scientists such as myself. Even 12 year olds know its easy to kick the "snot" out of a drunk guy.

Mitigation of Cons:

1. Buy a 45
2. Buy a shovel
3. Buy a shotgun
4. See "game face" from prior post to maintain 9 count while encouraging the 12 year old community to buy and maintain my setup.

Perhaps buying a kegarator is analogous to buying a boat...seems like a good idea until you have to clean it. I'll keep you posted.
