I have been to a few fancy cocktail
parties...
you know, the scene, everyone trying as
hard as they can to look better than
everyone else. Well one think i noticed is
that people look pretty stupid with their
glass upside down trying to suck the last
few drops of booze out of it. So i was
thinking about a cup with a mouth
similar
to a martini glass, but instead of a stem
and a base, an elastic rubber bladder,
with just the right elasticity so that when
you pour in a liquid it for as long as there
is enough to keep the bladder full, the
liquid stays right about a half inch from
the mouth of the glass, you can drink
twice as much as the fools sucking the
live
out of their overturned conventional
glasses, and look ten times better doing
it.

Who's that twit drinking out of a condom? |

I have a suggestion. I saw a very interesting measuring "cup" on a cooking show (good eats). It used a piston inside a cup so that you could measure multiple liquids. (2 oz of x, fill to top. 1 oz of y, pull handle down so measured liquid falls 1 oz below top & then fill w/ y.) |

I looked to see if anyone made a martini glass w/ a sliding stem, but I couldn't find any mention of such. I wonder if you could just push the stem of the glass up to achieve the same result you indicate, and if this might be more acceptable to people. (I'd vote for the idea if it were kind of like this, It's a terrible feeling to spill as a result of accidentally tipping the glass too high., though I very, very, rarely go to the fancy, shmancy parties.) |

Half a game of table tennis? |

This isn't really bottomless per se. If anything, the bottom of this particular cup is more prominent than that of a conventional cup. |
|
| |
Problem: when you tilt the cup, the weight force exerted by the liquid normal to the spring-loaded bottom reduces. Contents get expelled onto lapel, or if seated, the crotch. |
|
| |
On closer inspection, maybe I've misunderstood this. I was thinking piston, rather than bladder. |
|
| |
On still closer inspection, a bladder wouldn't work either, because the pressure exerted by the contents isn't changing much (however the volume is). |
|
| |
Well, i hate to burst your bladder
Texticle but i have made one (out of a
conventional ballon and funnel) and
although i needed to work the ballon in
a good amount, the bladder worked and
kept the liuqid at the proper height. the
biggest problem i have found however,
is when i want to set this down on a
table. oh and i suppose i can get some pictures ip somewhere give me a little time. |
|
| |
I'm sure I'd find a way to pop the balloon over the hostess' cleavage. |
|
| |
The balloon prototype worked? Well I'll be. |
|
| |
In the last sentence you mention (among many other things) that you can "drink twice as much". Can you elaborate as to how the bladder in question facilitates that? |
|
| |
Martinis suck. Drink molten glass out of the bottom of someone's skull and look REALLY tough. Or just get a bitchin' neck tattoo. |
|
| |
Haha well, that was sort of an exaggeration, however what i meant was that insead of having to tip my glass all the way back and look like an idiot, or possibly wait till the ice slides back and splash scotch all over my brand new suit, i can simply sip out of a cup that stays nearly full for an extended period of time. thats really all this is. |

Would be pretty neat to have it telescoping like motorcycle suspension bits. It would look cool too! |

Curiosity killed the cup. |

Fishbone for bad spelling, mostly. |
