Earlier this year, I watched a stand-up comedy special by Jake Johannsen on Showtime, entitled I Love You. In one of his bits during the show Johannsen describes a dream — a man dream — for putting a mini fridge in his bedroom. Here’s the essence of it, omitting the added automatic coffee maker he wants to put on top of it.
I was going to buy a mini fridge, and that was going to be my bedside table. I thought I had a great idea. So at night I could be lying in bed with my wife, maybe watching a movie or reading a book, and have a nice cold beer out of the mini fridge, maybe two. That was my dream.
Long story short, the punchline is his wife said no, which was his example of compromise between married people. Trust me, it’s funnier in context. Well apparently somebody was listening and felt his pain. A new company, ManTables, has created a line of small refrigerators that resemble end tables so they won’t look out of place in a living room, rec room or … bedroom.
They ManTable refrigerators come in three colors: black, walnut and tobacco. Below in the walnut finish in a living room setting.
And here’s an open view. The website claims they can fit 45 beer cans. No word on how many bottles.
It seems to me they’d be perfect for a rec room or man cave that was some distance from the kitchen. The cost is $389.99, plus shipping, tax and handing charges.
I’m thinking about how you could put a tap in the lamp and make it a draft beer station!
You couldn’t get a 3-gal corny keg into that outfit; the Party Pig barely would fit & good luck running a tap line from one of those!
That one’s for extreme couch spuds – the only exercise most old fart single guys get is walking back & forth to the fridge for beer & cheese/meat munchies!
