Here's the thing though...When we went to this sushi place, they totally turned us down for saki bombing and had no idea what it was, but definitely (and rightly) knew it would be messy. So we had to find a really reeeeeally crappy place and then do it...I don't know if the guy will know what I'm even talking about, but this is going to be brought up.
How big are the bowls? Are we talking like a soup bowl or some giant 2 foot diameter bad boy? And how many people usually to a bowl?
And are there games you do with it or what? With saki it's timed and we use chopsticks to hold the shot glasses up which fall when you slam the table...hence the mess.

A scorpion bowl is basically a huge bowl of fruit juices (orange, cranberry, lemon, grape, etc), mixed with saki, rum, and 151. Different Japanese restaurants mix them different ways, sometimes with different juice, sometimes different liquor. Basically, two people can split a bowl and get pretty buzzed. A couple of them will have you and your date pretty much floored - it is probably the most fun you can have at an otherwise respectable restaurant.
Plus it sounds cool to say, "we're going Scorpion Bowling at Maluken."
One caveat - they cost between 14-18 dollars per bowl . . . so you pay to play, but holy jesus is it worth it. It's definitely a staple of our house - I'm not sure if it's just a Boston thing, but I'd seek it out. Other names include "Volcano Bowls" and stuff like that.
