So There I am enjoying my greatest frag of all time. In the midst of NOOB-shattering celebration it happens. With a quick snap I am flat on my ass and wondering what happened. Alas, my 10-year old office chair finally gave way. The last joyous celebration it would see, or so I thought. Contemplating my situation and drinking the champagne of beers it hit me. I can re-build her! STRONGER! FASTER! BETTER! DRUNKER!
__________________So I gathered the materials I had on hand and breathed new-life into an old friend. Materials: 12-pack of Miller High Life - $7.29 Scrap Piece of 3/4" Plywood - FREE Dry-Wall Screws - FREE Broke-Ass Chair - FREE I will update with pictures and the rest of this triumph in DRUNK-ineering history later today, as well as with a status update on my most recent project. ![]() UPDATE: Roll that Beautiful Bean Footage! Here is the Chair, I didn't have any before pictures. Basically it broke clean off of the frame becuase the base of the seat cracked in two, which released the bolts that formerly held my ass to the base of the seat. ![]() I mounted the 3/4" plywood by drilling straght through the top of the seat into the wood, that away I am not getting screwed in the ass. Get it? cause I used screws...haha? ![]() Then through the power of super DRUNK-ineering I fabricated a new base for the seat and mounted the old frame to the chair. ![]() And with the aide of good ol' Miller High Life bottlecaps I made handy-dandy washers. ![]() Now it's Miller Time...all the time. ![]() Plus with all these extra bottle-caps I will be sure to survive when we enter nuclear fallout and the world currency resorts to using bottle-caps. Not to mention not having to buy another seat for my sweet sweet ass.

you know I could probably build something similar out of strings, staples, and badgers.
