Otto Loenneker cunningly asked:

I need how to make a rally sturdy beer pyramid. I want to impress the other drunks at the next party that I go to!!
Well Otto, its really quite simple. Firstly drink about 72 000 beers (preferably out of cans) and place the empties in a neat pile in the corner of the room. Once done, buy about 10 000 Egyptian slave in good working order. Without asking permission (she'll never give it) mixed together 3 part cement, 5 part sand, 5 part gravel with 7 part water in the middle of the living room and set the slave to work building your pyramid. About 1/2 way through, leave a chamber just large enough to house say something about the size of a normal human being and just before the cement sets, drop our beloved spoon into it. Don't let his screams bother you, in fact a blow to the base of the skull with a shovel generally returns the piece and quite.

Finish off you pyramid with a nice gold coated top and don't forget to take some pix for the HOB. If the hostess suddenly storms into the room and shouts "What the F*CK is that monstrosity doing in my living room!?!?!?!" you'll know its a good one.

Cheers
ALAN

Now, the beer pyramid. You need to set this up carefully, and you could end up with enough beer to see you through retirement. OK. First you need to get at least six friends (although 10 works better, but it gets more complicated) who give you a six pack each. This gets their name on the list. Then they have to get six (or 10) of their friends to give a sixer to the guys on the list ahead of them. That gets their name on the list. Then 6 of their friends give a sixer to everyone else on the list ahead of _them_.

Hey, wait a minute. You got 334 (or 2527) cases of beer sitting in your garage, and I haven't even got on the ladder yet. Now THAT's impressive.
