Smoking games
How many times have you found yourself in this situa- tion? The dinner party is winding down. No one can imagine drinking another PBR with a stomach full of piquillo pepper pasta. The thought of another glass of red alone is enough to give you heartburn.
You feel the energy of the party start to swing as everyone moves to the couch, ready to chill out and get on board the giggle train. You think about breaking out a game, but no one wants to play Cards Against Humanity for the umpteenth time, even if you did just get the “Everything but the Kitchen Sink” bundle or whatever they’re on now. Early in the night, the conversation was flowing like a loose shit after a night out, but now that the meal’s over, folks are ready to let their brains off the hook for the night and relax.
Well make some muthafuckin' space for the muthafucking Smoking Game.
Ever since college, you’ve been at house parties playing Beer Pong and Rage Cage in cramped rooms with sticky floors. Red Solo cups litter every BBQ you’ve been to, just so y'all can play Flip Cup and Beer Die for a couple hours. Even at its simplest form, the humble drinking game where you “drink when X happens” pervades nights on the couch watching Ru Paul or Sunday night football.
But the times they are a-changin' and it’s about time we embrace a different kind of getting fucked up.
Let’s make some room for the dudes at the party that have to wake up early for the brunch shift tomorrow. The friend who's still hungover from the bars last night, but wants to take the reins off her brain for a little while. Stogna loves drink- ing as much as the next guy, but he’s puked in enough alleys after chugging a beer he knew he didn't have space for. And in his wise old age, he’s learning more and more the value of a pure gigglefit.
So Stogna went into his dark little cave, and he huffed and he puffed, and eventually he passed out. And there in his fe- ver dream he found this game. So why don't ya do yourself a favor, put down the beer, and try this one out next time your party’s winding down.
THE PLANET EARTH GAME
This game was borne into this world just like many other games, businesses, and few million dollar ideas: a half-baked idea at the end of a party. One night, a few friends were kicking around late, so Stogna threw on the TV and plunged everyone into the bottomless lagoon of the Roku stick.
After five minutes of hemming and hawing, he faced the realization that there’s no way they'd all be able to agree on what to watch.
So, Stogna dug into his bag of tricks and pulled out the one thing he knew no stoner could resist -- Planet Earth. But this time he wanted to twist things up. There’re only so many times one can be lulled by the plummy tones of Sir David Attenborough, so Stogna decided to throw on some music instead. And just as if he'd remembered to pay his electric bill that month, a lightbulb went on above his head.
Now you don’t have to be Carl Sagan to add together the three things stoner’s love best: weed, music, and Planet Earth. But someone had to do it. And dog- gone it was none other than our boy, Stogna, who rose to new ranks that day, uniting the three together in perfect harmony.
He'll swear by the fact that any dang song out there will pair perfectly with the animals on screen. Pigeons circling a highway and Beethoven? Easy. Tigers running through the jungle and Daft Punk? You betcha! Ants crawling down a god damn hill and Taylor Swift -- I mean do you even have to ask? It’s gonna be metal! Now sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride.
