Simple, Air Hockey apparatus built into the underside of a dining table. Hoverplates, flying napiery... peas... bread rolls... salt... hilarity...

|
| |
What happens if you spill your coffee? |
|
| |
At least you'll keep your hair out of your food... |
|
| |
Yay! Pea pool with chopsticks... as pinball paddles... |
|
| |
My wife, Swee' Pea, but she jes' don' unnerstan' me no more. |
|
| |
//What happens if you spill your coffee?// |
|
| |
It all blows up, of course. |
|
| |
sp: unnerstans' ( iffin I recalls rightly) |
|
| |
Bizarre, yet strangely compelling ......... (+) |
|
| |
Good with chinese food (lots of dishes to shunt round). Bad with steak or anything else that needs cutting. |
|
| |
"Pass me a roll, please?" |
|
| |
Easy to dry your hands after a dip in the lemon water. |
|
| |
Hmmm... could be fun, tossing pancakes and flatbreads to each other. "How LOW can you GO?" |
|
| |
One player must "tine" the sailing bread disk while the
opponent, the bread shooter, must sink it in the pocket
without getting forked... |
|
| |
To prevent cherry-picking at the pocket, the "tiner"
should need to fork the dough before it crosses a
designated "off sides" lines. The "dough-slinger" could also
be awarded for the use of bank shots. Combinations of
varying the placement of off-sides lines and total number
of bank-shots made in one toss could enhance the
elements of
competition. |
|
| |
Ready? Sterling or Stainless... |
|
| |
Could you pass the butter? |
|
| |
Whacka-whacka-whacka- SCORE! |
|
| |
[8th] you're back! Where you been? (slaps on back) |
|
| |
A sushi bar called Hakki Pakku- sushi on little pucks that drift and rebound on an air hockey bar in front of customers like a giant Puckchinko game. |
|
| |
..but if it gets on your face you have a "lick-off" |
|
| |
Didn't The Simpsons have an episode where Marge developed agoraphobia and they lived in the basement for a while eating dinner off an air hockey table? (It's called "The Strong Arms Of The Ma") |
|
| |
Yes, I know the Simpsons' basement is not a restaurant, but then I'm not suggesting this idea is baked nor have I even mentioned the letters m, f, and d. I respect UB far too much to do something like that. |
|
| |
Try sliding beers down long counters at a Bar....Just like Western Movies.... |
|
| |
Provides an outlet for the air pumped through Hoverchairs. |
|
| |
Oh for goodness sake. Why do all
Halfbakers appear to share these same
three attributes:
1) A worrying affection for custard
2) The need to use elaborate technology to
use a loo without either missing it
completely or suffering some sort of
splashback and
3) A total lack of respect for fine dining??? |
|
| |
Probably because fine dining is largely overrated... Pompous, pretentious prandialitry. |
|
| |
1. What's wrong with custard? |
|
| |
2. We don't miss the loo... much (loo, that's funny sounding:) |
|
| |
3. We can't afford fine dining, but we would make the leap for fine dining if we could play air hockey with our food. |
|
| |
This sounds like some strange arcade themed restaurant where you get your own drinks by putting money into a Street Fighter machine and you earn tickets based on what you buy |
|
| |
//Probably because fine dining is largely
overrated...// You may be confusing 'fine
dining' with a formal barbie (if such a thing
exists <shudders>). Presumably, theatre
and classical music are also "pompous and
pretentious"? |
|
| |
Don't knock it until you've experienced it
first hand. |
|
| |
Table raised extra high - cake pucks, diner's mouths are the goals. |
|
| |
//Don't knock it until you've experienced it first hand.// |

I take it you're talking about something other than British... food? |
|
| |
Isn't British food one of the conditions of "Hell", along with French cars, German police, Swiss lovers and Italian organisation? |
|
| |
[UB] I've never eaten British food. I've
eaten several multi-starred Michelin
restaurants, of which there are a
very high number in England, and many
others overseas headed by English
chefs or foreign chefs who trained in
England. |
|
| |
I've also eaten at an Australian-style
restaurant, which a friend set up in his
back garden last summer. |
|
| |
However, I'll wait until you've had a
chance to travel and expand your
culinary horizons a little. Just a tip: it's
fine to ask for beer, but just don't tell
the waiter to bring you a tinny. And if
you get a little bowl of water at the
table, it's not soup. Go for it, [UB]. |
|
| |
//I've eaten several multi-starred Michelin English restaurants// |
|
| |
With or without salt and HP sauce? |
|
| |
Say, isn't Michelin a French institution? |
|
| |
Say, wasn't Australia an English invention? |
|
| |
Seriously, though, each to their own.
Australia gave the world the Peach Melba,
that should be enough for them to be
proud of after only two centuries in the
game. Good on you. |
|
| |
//Say, wasn't Australia an English invention? // |
|
| |
Well, there were about 300,000 people here when you lot arrived, who think otherwise. |
|
| |
[MaxwellBuchanan], you're not actually Gordon Ramsay, by any chance? |
|
| |
It's nice to see you lot beginning to
develop a national character, [UB]. First
tries are often problematic. |
|
| |
//you're not actually Gordon Ramsay, by
any chance?// Do I f---ing look like
Gordon
f---ing Ramsay, for f---'s sake? |
