New Game: Russian Beer-lette

King of the Hill - “a soft-satirical parody of ‘Middle American’ lifestyle, epitomized by its titular family, the Hills, a suburban Methodist family proud of their Texas heritage”¹. While yes, this simple comedic animation has its moments and can occasionally have its moments, you wouldn’t expect it to have such a momentous suggestion!

This suggestion is called Russian Beer-Lette, a game derived from Russian ROUlette. In the original version a six-shot magnum is loaded with one bullet, and the chamber is spun. Each player then takes a turn at holding said magnum to their temple and pulling the trigger, hoping that they do not get the one live bullet that will most likely end their life. A very black and disturbing game indeed, and russian beer-lette is no different!

In russian beer-lette the server gathers a number of cans of beer (determined by the amount of people participating) and one of these cans is shaken. Each person must then choose a random can with the threat of being drenched in a shower of exploding beer - hence the danger.

While this post may seem completely pointless, I assure you, there is a point - a good point!

This rare gem hidden deep within countless layers of suburban animation comedy must not escape our grasp! The game of russian beer-lette must be embraced by all and must be practiced at all social gatherings! It need not be beer, it could be simple soft drinks - the concept remains the same! All hail russian beer-lette and let it live long and precipitate!
