Thank gods for the explanatory text; the photo had me convinced it was a scheme whereby communal consumption of bongwater served as group foreplay.
I don't know what is wrong with my internet connection that I can go to some sites but not others, but Google indicates there seems to be a 'Porron' on ebay right now for $36 - I just can't seem to go there
It's back up, so now I see it's a common item that I had never heard of before. I thought it was specific to that game.
Now I'm fascinated by the font on the bottle. I've only seen a letter 'R' made from a circle atop two lines in one other place: my daughter's printing when she was very young.
So did I, JFrancis! But it even has a Wikipedia entry. I added a link to it.
looks like a bong crossed with a neti pot!
weird game... I guess everyone wins in that game!
I wonder if there was a solitaire version of Orgy, you know, for people like me.
Honey, lets have an ORGY™ night! With all our friends!
"Gaylord James" created this game? How appropriate!
Ditto the bong/neti pot!
& David, I expect to hear about the elusive Greg Dulli graphic novel from YOU first!
I read her forehead stamp and lost The Game. :-(
Porrons are great. I have fond but very cloudy memories of using these when I visited my brother in Spain!
Its been racking my brain but I finally figured out where I've seen these things before. When Anthony Bourdain went to Spain on No Reservations it caught my eye as an incredibly complex, innacurate, messy method of booze distribution, and therefore, awesome: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CaPTPwvkNGc#t=0m57s
Leave it to a fellow Chicagoan to commercialize the tradition by including a plastic man-bib.
I love the bibs. Do they eat lobster afterwards?
I grew up seeing this exact same bottle, label and all, sitting on a shelf in our rec. room. When I inherit it, I'll come back and post pics.
Is that guy wearing a BIB? Sexy stuff back then, I'm sure.
I have never been to an orgy, and if this is what it's like, I think I'd just as well pass.
One of these will be featured in Season Five of Mad Men . . . the same episode where Sally Draper starts hitchhiking to San Francisco.
In much the same memewidth, from 1974 - Organized Crime The Board Game.

Looks like that Mushmouth commercial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBo6aXlZ-yY , which is actually NOT from the seventies.
I drink from a porron about once a week at my local tapas place. Group sex does not usually follow. Your mileage may vary.
Now *that's* marketing!
And incidentally, for anyone who watches Mad Men, Stefan Jones/#17 wins the thread.
A porron, eh?
I actually considered turning one of those into a bong, once.
After a bit of thought, it became apparent it was a tricky proposition.

Kimmo, ditto. It doesn't work.
Now with more Gonorrhea!
Can I just try to hit that "I Play The Game" button on her forehead?
i was born in 1967, and i am 100% certain that this game had nothing to do with it.
WTF indeed. "in session" plaque and a certificate "suitable for framing"??
O.O
This is great! But how come only the guys are wearing bibs, while the women are hardly wearing anything? What magazines would this have been advertised in? I'm guessing NOT Better Homes & Gardens :)
Who doesn't love a good game of orgy from time to time? Fill up your porron with chardonnay, and you're ready for some golden showers.
heh! You said, 'Orgy'!
I play The Game too! Sadly, I just lost it.
I lose.
anyone else notice that the order form is to "gaylord james inc." ?
I swear to god, one of these things got me drunk for the very first time in my life. We were in a restaurant in Mexico, and the waiters were pouring drinks down us with these. They would even put their mouths over the top part and blow, making the whatever-it-was-we-were-drinking come out as fast as possible.
You said: "Thank gods for the explanatory text; the photo had me convinced it was a scheme whereby communal consumption of bongwater served as group foreplay."
Lol! and .. 'I Dream of Genie' the 'Editor's Cut'
