Gravity Bong/Hookah Party Ice Fishing Shanty

Take the edge off what must be one of man's most boring activities.

The following could be the center of entertainment in any Shantytown:

Build a well-insulated, easily transportable, yet comfortably large “ice fishing” shanty, with couches surrounding enough floor space for ample foot room, and a built in five-gallon glass gravity bong/hookah. This gravity bong would utilize the large body of water underneath as a gravity bong does. There would be no issues of water displacement.

A nice entertainment system would be necessary along with a well-insulated mini-wood stove at one end. The stove heat could create some electricity, I suppose. What is the available technology in that department? Is sufficient energy generated?

The heat pocket would stay above the bottoms of the cushions on the couch (to avoid melting the ice.) and there would be adjustable venting below that. There could also be a cooler box for beer and whatnot underneath the couches. The couches would be deep, cushy and double as a perfect place for a sound sleep or some intimate lovemaking. Some large windows to face south and proper mood lighting for the nighttime would be good. I think it would be worth it to spend the extra time/money to give this shanty the ability to float. This would ease one’s mind when high.

I said easily transportable and then started adding weight. It would need to be on wheels. More than four wheels would allow for easier maneuvering over rough shoreline terrain. These wheels could be raised after the shanty is in place, bringing the floor closer to the water. With the right trailer, it could be easily brought to waterside, rolled off the trailer and rolled across the ice to its destination. This could be actualized with motor power, or even better--stoner buddies power. The imminent hoot-down session would be that much more rewarding if you’ve just had some exercise.

There is always the ‘conspicuous to law enforcement’ issue. How is drug law reform progressing in Canada?

       Somehow I don't see the bong and hookah set as being into ice fishing. But belonging to neither camp, I may be completely mistaken.

       One more way to bring people from different walks of life together, I suppose. [DrCurry]

       Can you come back when you've grown up? Is that too much to ask?

       [UnaBubba] Would you have made similar commentary had I posted an idea concerning the consumption of alcohol?

       I would have thought so, if it was as badly devised.

       Yep. This is arrant nonsense.

       But the title is wonderful, in a random-collection-of-words sort of a way.

       Like [RT]'s wonderfully surreal Purple Horoscope Shovel. I loved that one.

       I'd not be so quick to poke fun at those who live out their lives in the froze up north. Yeah, they'd be entertained at bit if they blew a joint and cocooned; but, after you've exhausted your southern spring break you'll be back there freezing your fresh-fingered tail off with the rest of them, dreaming you had a can of warm beer.
