What Dookies Do During a Down Year

When I lived at the Lodge back in the day, my roomies and I used to talk a lot about the ways that Mini Fridge could be improved to make it more convenient for us to retrieve beer without getting up off of Soft Couch. You can make all the arguments you want that it's ridiculous to improve on the convenience of a refrigerator that sits right next to the couch. We heard it all, and it didn't faze us. If you're making such arguements, you obviously haven't thought of the inconvenience to someone sitting in the Ass Magnet, as Mini Fridge's door opened toward that person, and he had to perform some pretty tricky feats of flexibility to get a beer without leaving his seat. Or maybe you didn't consider the people seated at the opposite end of Soft Couch, as they couldn't possibly reach the fridge. A person sitting in Brown Chair had much the same problem. Besides, this was before we had a Tivo, and we had to do something during commercials. So we discussed how we could make Mini Fridge better.

Some people aren't content with discussion, though. Showing the type of ingenuity and can-do spirit that made this country great (not to mention fat and lazy), this guy from Duke built a solution. You should totally check it out. It's simply marvelous.

And for those of you who don't want to check it, go ahead and watch this video.
