Summer pool parties' hopeless quandary: continue playing drinking games, or pretend to be hot so you can discreetly pee in the pool? Why not do both, with Poolside Pong.
The semi-intelligent design of two undergrads at Wentworth and Northeastern, Poolside's a twin-bed-sized inflatable PVC Beirut table, dreamt up while the duo was soaking in a Welfleet pool recovering from the previous night's festivities (Melody Tent!). The raft comes equipped with twelve cupholders on each side, ten for beer and two for water, as you wouldn't want to be unsanitary during the aforementioned drinking & urinating. To mark your floating territory, get a custom designed silk-screen on the side or the deck -- your team's name, or your company's, assuming you drive tankers for Exxon.
PP comes with a repair kit (plastic patches, waterproof glue), and for on-the-go fun neatly stows in a black nylon drawstring tote, essential when faced with that other summer pool party quandary: not having a pool.
Check 'em out at Poolsidepong.com; maybe you'll finally get invited to a Fourth of July pool party
