I take umbrage with Don Cazentre calling a 31 year love affair a "comet-like fad." That's just bad journalism right there.

Many a college dorm room and frat house in the late '80's was lit by the heavenly warm glow of homemade beerball lamps. I had repurposed one to hold my penny collection until some asshole decided to put a used condom in it.

My brother went to RIT and his fraternity had an annual smoking paraphernalia design contest/party.
One year some dudes took a beer ball, cut a hole big enough to wear it like a space helmet and affixed a pipe to the front of the helmet. The spaceman would put it on and have a damp towel wrapped around the neck to give it a good seal while someone got a party bowl fired up and screwed it onto the fitting in the front of the helmet. Then an inflated balloon was installed onto the party bowl to provide an 'auto feed' of smoke into the helmet. Not sure how long the flight lasted but I think the user's hair was fairly resonated upon exit.

How the fuck is the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree from Maryland?
Isn't it in the New York State Constitution that it has to come from Upstate?I still call it The Jake.

Can we just all take a moment to imagine Don Cazentre enjoying a Peroni while sitting at the Rome Toccolana Club lamenting the Beer Ball fad, and the fact that some Paisans from Cleveland came and whooped their ass on their home turf for the world bocce championship?

I’m a beer ball survivor. I used to put one in a backpack and run the tube up over my shoulder to my mouth. The only reason I’m still here is because when you pass out with a beer ball on your back, you automatically roll on your stomach and can’t choke on your own vomit. I think I invented the Camelback but was too drunk to know it?

The Official Argue About Where Upstate NY Is Thread
Whoever at Matt’s made the beer ball round was an evil genius. The fact that the damn thing rolled was both the beauty and the Achilles heel of the entire system.
If it had been a cube it never would have left us … but it never would have taken off in the first place so there would have been nothing to save.
Every good beer ball story revolves (yeah I said it) around the fact that it is a sphere.

If it wasn't round, but square, it would have been called the beer cube. Taking a cue from the Beanie Babies craze, I could see creating them in all different shapes such as a 12 sided dodecahedron for a limited time and making them collectible.

We also used to use beer balls for what was called 'fast fun'. Beer Ball fast fun meant filling an empty one with water and dropping it out of the 5th floor window in our dorm.

If you're from the outer reaches of Brooklyn or Queens it takes 2 hours or more to get there on the only kind of transpo they know, subways, so that's like someone in the city with a car traveling 2 hours which would put them firmly upstate. Oh and, there's rocks sticking out of the ground so it's Upstate
