Required items for summer party crowd

By Rick Strobel
 

Summer is almost here and, to make sure that everyone is equally prepared for it, I've pulled together a couple products to ensure a stress-free period of relaxation. And drunkenness.

Our first invention comes from our friends from down under. Yes, down under as in Australia . Mick Fanning, a surfer who is originally from Australia , has helped design The Fanning. This sandal, according to www.reef.com, combines the “technical aspects of Mick's surfing” with his “appreciation for a good night on the town.” This is because the sandal has a bottle opener built into the sole of the shoe.

I know what you're thinking, “This shoe was sent by God!” And, if that's what you were thinking, you are exactly right. For a listing of online and local retailers, visit www.reef.com.

The next product also comes from our mates in Australia . From Virgin Mobile comes the newest attempt to keep your cell phone bills lower, a function known as Dialing Under the Influence. This concept allows the owner of the phone to block outgoing calls to specific numbers before he or she starts taking down grandpa's old cough syrup. The service, which is currently operating solely in Australia , should be coming to the U.S. within a few years. But, until then, the key lock function and the consumption of an insurmountable amount of alcohol will have to do the trick. For more information, visit www.virginmobile.com.

I hope my research will help provide endless enjoyment throughout the summer. On a serious note, have a great, safe summer.
