I love any technological approach to getting me to the bar sooner.
I've always wanted a 'timed SMS' app where you can queue up text messages and set a time to send them. That way you can be enjoying happy hour while sending off 'stuck late at office' and 'leaving soon' messages without thinking about it.
Even better would be an app that plays background noise during your phone calls: airports, offices, taxis, stadiums. Dial up where you want to be for your call. Great for the 'still stuck at office' call, provided you could drown out the noise of the rowdy bar you're in. Last I checked, Android didn't have an API for that.

I think a lot of texting apps do this. When I used GoSMS it had this function.
I've been using /usr/libexec/xscreensaver/bsod for years for this.
I was having a conversation one time and xscreensaver kicked on showing the BSOD mode, and the person I was talking to said "ha! your computer crashed!" and I responded with "well, that's it, time to go to the bar."

It fooled me for a couple of seconds.
