In the history of deep-frying things, beer has always been consumed, but never the main dish. Beer has finally wiped away its mopey attitude and jumped right into the fryer.

Ever since the inauguration five years ago of the Big Tex Choice Awards at the Texas State Fair, food vendors have been deep-frying the impossible in their pursuit of the Most Creative and Best Taste awards.

As the Dallas Morning News reports, the Fried Beer was the result of a painful process of trial and error for creator Mark Zamble. His initial efforts kept exploding once they hit the fryer, and he kept getting burned. Zamble has already applied for a patent and trademark for Fried Beer, which appears to be a pocket of pretzel dough filled with its signature beverage.

Should we now refer to Mark as a Beer Scientist? Or maybe a Beergineer?

For those readers who are personally keeping track of my wish list, puh-lease add this glorious battleship game to the list-o'wishins. It's an Irish term... shut it. Seriously though, how great would this incredibly portable, we're about to have fun and get hammered while sinking some ships game be? A: Lots

This is the Enigma, the classic Battleship game turned into a simple to play (and fun) bar game.
It´s played just like the usual Battleship game with one addition. If you miss the target you drink a sip of water, and if you hit an enemy boat you opponent empties the corresponding shot glass.
The exterior design of the wood case was based on the enigma encrypting machine as well as the game´s name. The game also features a radar screen to mark the shots of each player and a list of the ships remaining. Have fun, and drink responsibly!

Sounds great! Except for that whole drink responsibly thing. What the hell does that even mean? Now for the bad news; this was just made as a mock up and isn't actually for sale. So, basically, the best thing you can do is send a letter to your congress person asking... pleading for this to actually be created. Or maybe you could just email the dude.

Be sure to click the jump for more photos of the coolest drinking game ever.

It's happened to everyone, unless you've never drank in your life, then you're just a dick... but only for proving my "it's happened to everyone statement wrong." Or maybe you grew up with some sort of fucking door lock from the future with buttons and shit. Maybe, just maybe you live in an alternate keyless universe, void of all locking mechanisms. Either way most of us at one time or another have been too hammered to find the damn hole (insert HI-OH! here). Hell, I was once too hammered to realize my key was in my own pocket. Fuck attempting to open a door. Enter some drunk scientist-locksmith-hybrid-guy trying to make people's lives better by developing this gadget. It simply funnels your key into the lock using only your double vision, and the powers of gravity. Pretty smart, but if you find yourself needing one of these, maybe you should lay off the sauce just a bit. Or you could just get one of those door locks from the future I mentioned before and remain sauced.
