12/29/2004: Inflatable pub

Undertoad · 12-29-2004, 11:48 AM

Katkeeper, perhaps angling for Xmas 2005, points out this excellent inflatable pub (Wired story via Boing Boing). It was introduced a few months ago by Brit company Airquee. I'm in favor.

From the company's description: The pub is 40ft long, 19ft wide and 22ft high. It can be customised for use as a fully working pub, with room for a bar and 30 customers. The pub can be erected in 10 minutes with 2 small blowers and can be sited on any firm, level surface.

Just don't play darts in this pub!

Great!! You can have the reception there, after the wedding in the Inflatable Church!

Let's skip the wedding and go straight to the bar...er pub.
A hangover is easier to recover from than a wedding.

Imagine the pub brawls in there. One good brawl could turn the pub into one of those Moonwalk things. Well, at least getting slammed into the wall wouldn't hurt so much.

Yeah I can picture it: instead of the parents hanging around outside waiting for the kids 5 minutes to run out, it would be the other way around, the kids would be outside whining, "Is it five minutes yet?"

With an inflatable bride? :p

OK, you CAN find ANYTHING on the internet!

Dr. Zaius · 12-30-2004, 12:05 AM

Behold the lovely bride! Something tells that given a certain wineglass tradition an inflatable church would be a lousy place to hold a Jewish wedding.

capnhowdy · 12-30-2004, 07:42 AM

Cool!
Might be a better idea to just get an inflatable sex doll and slip a wedding dress on her, as the inflatable bride they show has EVEN LESS sex appeal. That way you'd only need to purchase the one doll for both purposes.
........and we thought we Americans had an "inflation problem"

I can't believe any US insurance company would insure the use of this thing. Think of the liability potential if one of these was full of drunk people and it got punctured. Could be a lot of fun, but it screams lawsuit.

glatt · 12-30-2004, 11:12 AM

I made that comment about not playing darts, but I think these things are actually very tough. They make rubber rafts out of this material, and they bounce off sharp rocks all the time.

capnhowdy · 12-30-2004, 04:28 PM

I'd like to get one & fill it up with helium. Now THAT would be really getting high!

York · 12-31-2004, 02:10 AM

U would have to make some tiny punctures in it on some places and keep it coming! But from the helium you wouldnt be feeling good after a while, headaches , sickness...so lets put some other kind off gassy thing in there...or smoke...??

You notice how everything is curvy. You'd feel drunk long before you had enough alcohol to actually be drunk in that.

If it can hold up to high heels, then it should hold up to a broken wineglass on the floor.

But the pub, with all those drunks in the disorienting space, they better use plastic.
