Drinks n Stinks for March Madness

It all starts with Selection Sunday - March 15, 2009. Then, two days later, March Madness kicks off with its opening-round game. Bored yet? But for what seems like the better part of the population, college basketball's annual championship tournament takes over idle office chatter at the water cooler and sucks all the fun out of weekend TV viewing. Unless, of course, you're a fan, then all bets are off.

Whether you're a hoops fan or just have the misfortune of sharing space with 'em this March, get ready to inject some humor into the seriousness of the NCAA's tournament, courtesy of StinksNThings.com — the place for discount gag gifts, office humor pranks and practical jokes.

Get your game on - and save a few bucks on beverages when you overpay for your ticket into the games - with Stinks' Booze Belly Flask ($12.99). Consisting of a pouch that allows fans to comfortably - and secretly and securely - bring booze into games undetected. Designed with an elastic waistband that fits all adults, the pouch holds 750ml (about 25 ounces) and comes with a straw valve to stop the flow and avoid embarrassing spills. Imagine never having to leave your seat when the clock winds down during a close game and keep your cash for the next round - or to compete in another bracket pool!

For fans enjoying the countless games in front of the tube at home, consider Stinks' Cowboy Boot Mug ($3.99) for the hoopster who has everything but wants to root Texas in a very stylish fashion. Big enough to hold a 12-ounce brew, this novelty mug has great curves. Made of plastic, there's no danger of this mug getting the boot when the game takes a surprising last-second turn.

For those who want to shoot hoops in any way they can, Stinks' Cheering Basketball Hoop ($12.99) is easily affixed to the top of any wastebasket. Sinking that three-pointer never felt so good as you'll hear the roar of the crowd thanks to the included vibration string.

And there's no better way to tell roommates, girlfriends and spouses that you're entrenched in the game - and maybe a little inebriated - than with Stinks' Beer Mug Hat ($6.99). Coming in at a whopping 18 inches the soft plus head topper really will be the foam on top of a great game.

So be it a Booze Belly Flask for bringing the hard stuff in to watch your team take on the competition of the NCAA Championship or a chicks-will-dig-it Beer Mug Hat , Stinks has everything you need to enjoy the tournament. And just think, even if your top-ranked team is the shocker of the tourney and gets knocked out by some no-name school, you can still hear the roar of the crowd with Stinks' Cheering Basketball Hoop and drown your sorrows with the Cowboy Boot Mug. All bets are off when it comes to March Madness, but one thing is certain: Stinks won't be the team that breaks your heart.
