I can't stop laughing at this. Apparently the new phenomenon is "Bros Icing Bros." Icing is when you present one of your friends (bros) with a Smirnoff Ice- they have to drop to one knee and slam it, no matter where they are or what they're doing.
Now if you are iced by some bro, and you happen to have an ice on you at the time, you can present it to them; this is an "ice block." If you ice block someone, they have to drop to one knee and take down both ices on the spot. No matter what.
Yeah, this is sort of fratty, but it's not wearing shorts shorts, croakies at night, or a Jay Cutler haircut.
It's hilarious because for one, Smirnoff ice is pretty much disgusting; imagine icing one of your bros with a warm, 24 oz Apple smirnoff, and him having to shame his name in public by dropping to a knee and taking it down. Or better yet, one of your hot shot bros ices you and you've got one on you already, ice block him, and he's gotta take both of them down. A game is a game.
Check out the links below and enjoy the scenarios- and hurry up - once it takes off mainstream it won't be as funny..

Some Towns Should Change their Names
Just found my favorite new town name.
Last week, a few of my coworkers and I embarked on a road trip that took me from Raleigh to Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh to White Plains, NY where we had a 3 day meeting, then up to Burlington, Vermont. I had a good time and finally got to see Vermont - which was awesome. Ended up taking a ferry across part of one of their huge lakes and drove through the mountains for a few hours on the way back. Getting into Vermont at night, we would drive nearly 20 minutes at several points without even seeing a light.
Anyway we passed through Pennsylvania from about 11PM-3AM on the last leg of the trip back to Pittsburgh. Now Pennsylvania, as you may know, has some pretty special town names.
Honorable mentions include Intercourse PA, Frackville PA (compliments of Nicole), Paradise PA (which makes the honorable mention because of the name and the fact that it's dead smack in the middle of Amish country.
My new favorite is town name, though, by a huge margin, is Shartlesville, PA. Shartlesville. It's either my ability to find humor in just about anything, my maturity level, or the fact that we'd been driving for 12 hours when we passed through the town, or maybe a combination of all of those things. That's just hilarious though. If I were mayor of Shartlesville, or anyone who had the power to do so, I'd have changed the name once urban dictionary or this movie came out.
