If you do win a prize from us, here at Barfrog we promise not to give out your address, spam mail you, or stalk you.  But, we have to have an address in order to mail the prize.  And, prizes will be forfeited if we don't receive a reply in less than one week.

With that said, send us a message ASAP!  If you don't win this time, we will be doing the September drawing on October 1^st and a drawing every month thereafter.

DRINKING GAME:

~ Ice Breaker ~
 - To play this game you will need a cigarette, a glass, a napkin, and a dime. Unfold the napkin and place it over the mouth of the glass so that it will stay in place (may need to secure with tape or rubber band). Then place the dime in the center of the napkin. The object is to see how much of the napkin you can burn away, taking turns, with the cigarette. The player to cause the dime to drop consumes a full glass of beer.
