If you want to sneak beer into an event (e.g. football games, theaters, church) but not pay over-inflated prices from vendors inside, then you might want to get a Beer Belly. It's a bota bag that fits over your belly like a few too many trips to Chili's.

The Mickey Mouse Version of Optimus Prime


Is it a robot Mickey Mouse that transforms into an Optimus Prime? Or an Optimus Prime that transforms into Mickey Mouse? This would make for a great debate on a first date with that girl from work. Doing so will impress her as to your mental acuity and seriousness.
