Icing is a glorious tradition that originally started out in the touring band circuit in the mid-2000's. The idea is to hand one of your friends a Smirnoff Ice (the original choice product of sugary destruction) nonchalantly. If done properly, your victim will casually take the beverage, not paying any attention to what it is. Once they have realized what it is they have taken, the deed is done. They must then get down on one knee (traditionally, but sometimes it's not possible/acceptable, so simply standing is fine), and chug the entire thing in one sitting. Bonus points for getting people to do it in ridiculous situations (example: watched the drummer [Tino] of Of Mice & Men get iced seconds before going on-stage.. in fact, he was on the side of the stage, about to sit on his drum throne. PRICELESS). In lieu of Smirnoff Ice's notorious gut-destruction, similar products may be used as a substitute (see: Zima, Wine Coolers [if you're truly an a*****e], and the ever-potent and more f**ked up, Bud Ice).
Thanks for the explanation, that is pretty glorious lol.
It is a ridiculously funny thing to start with drinking buddies. I've heard glory stories of people icing by strapping a bottle to a dog, hiding it in the crack of a couch, dangling it from a doorframe etc. Creativity nets bonus points. And if you want to be an enormous d**k (as has happened to Xploder and I), use a 32oz and ruin someone's night.
EDIT: Also, another one you guys should continue on.. I learned this a long time ago when Darkest Hour and Dead To Fall were touring together (back in 06 I believe). They played our local venue, and we heard them chanting (loudly) "DO THE WALRUSSSSSSS" from the green room. We go in, and they explained to us what it is: Doing The Walrus consists of drinking a bottle of liquor (usually whiskey, sometimes vodka) with a bottle of beer simultaneously, giving the effect of large walrus tusks protruding from your mouth. There are some simple rules: once someone begins chanting "do the walrus" at a low volume, others will join in. Once enough people join in, and are able to attract the attention of those around you, you start the Walrus Circle. Everyone in the circle MUST participate, there is no escaping it. Once you are Walrus'd, you are Walrus'd for life, and may incite The Walrus whenever you please, so long as you are able to do it justice.
So my man's birthday is tomorrow, I'm already working with his brother and dad to buy him a camera for his birthday but I wanted to get him something little he could have for his birthday. Any ideas? I was going to make cupcakes for him too.
Also we are going to do dinner obviously. But we have his joint birthday dinner with my roommate and him (their birthdays are two days apart), birthday dinner with his dad AND the bar on Saturday with his friends. This week is going to be exhausting.
But I need help on a small gift for him! Help! (Besides sex, we all know that's a must).

Icing is incredibly fun haha.
My senior year in college, we always iced each other. Soooo 6 of us decided to have an ice off. We each bought our own 12 pack of Ice, and rather than icing each other, we played first to finish all 12.
None of us finished them. We said f*** this s***, and switched to beer. We later used the leftovers to ice other Fraternity brothers though

Small gift? Price range? Go-Pro?! (that's what I want, anyways)
Mike's Hard works perfectly fine, too.
Pretty sure I'm secretly your boyfriend.. my roommate and I are 3 days apart haha.
Just bake him s**t. Don't inundate the dude with stuff. Anything home-made/with lots of effort put into it will trump anything material.
Oh man.. that's some straight masochism. I won't ever drink that stuff willingly. It makes me wanna puke.Icing is incredibly fun haha.

Yup, I rather shotgun beers than get iced that's for sure.
He's already getting a nice camera from us, but I was looking into Pinterest for ideas. They have like "man boxes" where you get a beer box and fill it with alcohol, snacks, razors.... guy stuff. But I don't know if those are cheesy.
I'm doing dinner for him too, I just don't know where. Or I was thinking getting him a pair of jeans (he's in DESPERATE need of jeans. They all are too short and worn out).
yeah it's barely a step up from MD20/20
Guys aren't as picky when it comes to gifts
. At least I'm not. I'd be happy with a tootsie roll and a smiley face sticker. That man box sounds awesome.And I hate pinterest. I tried using it the other day...talk about a cluster f**k. I'm not patient enough to figure that out lol.
It's pretty cool. I like it. There's some cool photography tips on there as well.Guys aren't as picky when it comes to gifts

GF bought me the "Beer Club of the Month" for a year. I get a 12 pack of random beers 4 times a year.

That's badass.
Oh yeah. That is definitely awesome!
That is a good one...
