ItalianStallion7 years ago

The past few days, everyone’s been bitching about investing in bitcoin. Oh, it’s worth so much this and so much that, blah blah blah, FINANCES, yada yada yada. Well, in the spirit of free-market capitalism, an exciting, non-crypto new investment opportunity has come up that I’d like to present to you.

From Rice University Official Auctions:

Win the inflatable tunnel the Rice Football team ran through to arrive onto the field from 2012 to 2016! Specs when inflated are 18’h x 26’w x 26’d.

Tunnel is in good condition. It weighs approximately 460 pounds, and requires several people to move/handle. Its size when deflated for storage is 50″ x 55″ x 55″.

If you tell yourself running through this inflatable football tunnel decked out in full pads doesn’t sound like everything your dad ever wanted out of you, your wrong. The coolest thing I’ve ever run through was a police station while trying to resist arrest for excessive jaywalking and musical racketeering, which only made my pops kinda proud instead of very proud.

Let me put my business degree to use and tell you all the ways this could be a worthwhile investment:

1. It’s Christmas season, the season of inflatable decorations. While your neighbors flood their lawns with inflatable snowmen and winter trinkets, you put the Rice University official inflatable football tunnel over your driveway. Imagine Santa running through that this holiday season; you’d be king of the cul-de-sac. Fuck that neighbor with a 20-foot sleigh who gives out candy canes on Christmas Eve.

2. Bring it to the fraternity house to use at parties. Oh, someone other house is throwing a party and thinks they’re being original with a slip ‘n slide? That’s cute. One-up them with the Rice University official inflatable football tunnel. Turn on the blowers (blowers sold separately) and blow their embarrassment of a shindig out of the water.

3. Use it for a mixer. Put some blacklights and a DJ booth at the end. Boom.

For anyone interested, bidding starts at $1,000 as of now. For something this cool, $1,000 is pocket change. Bidding ends January 8..
