Hamster on a Wheel

Constantly working hard at something but never getting anything accomplished.

hamster's wheel

A 20th century drinking game, comprised of smaller abbreviated drinking games combined. It is composed of beer bonging, beer pong, dice, darts, cards, shots and can crushing. It is a timed event resulting in the losers fulfilling a pre-set punishment. Usually consists of 3 or so beers consumed in around 3 minutes.
