Your people call it corn, we call it a beer ball. I think 1984 was my first beer ball experience. Hamms if I recall correctly.

Great, we shared the same childhood. Definitely "beer ball." Never heard of it referred to as a party ball. But I have heard of condooms called "party balloons" - but I digress.
A beer ball looks like a huge lightbulb but round. My recollection is that you rented a tap and the lid on the beer ball had two rubber-coated holes (you people are such children -- stop with the jokes already) in which to stick the tap and then pump (shut up). Do no, I repeat, do not, count on the the beer ball whose contents you have just consumed to act as a reliable flotation device - it will, however, make a neat-o change jar when you are a teenager.
