Beer Pong and Turkey Day

Nice Costume...

Nice Costume...

Hey all!… I am sure by now all of us are either still sleepy after all the turkey we ate this past Thursday, or we are still eating the mountain of leftovers in the fridge (or both!). I am sure that some of you had legendary beer pong mini-tourneys and matches over the weekend as all of our friends from high school gathered at home for the holiday. I remember my freshman year being floored how some of the people from high school who could barely throw a football came back after a few months of college to be beer pong champions. In particular I remember one of the jocks from the high school football team went up against this one buddy of mine (a buddy who couldn’t even make the track team…. I always thought that anybody willing to run automatically got on the team). The jock thought he was hot shit but my buddy wiped the floor with him, three games in a row…. Maybe beer pong is the great equalizer!

Anyways. One thing I thought was cool was seeing the difference in technique and rules between all my buddies who went to school in different corners of the US. From rules about bouncing to how far the elbow was allowed to go over the edge of the table. It’s kinda like Monopoly… which is why I guess house rules tend to work.
I remember a couple years back during Thanksgiving my cousins and I had a pretty awesome beer pong tourney, the loser having to do some stuff with turkey and stuffing that I don’t think I will describe (as not to upset our still full stomachs)…. Well whether you had a chance to get in a few games with some old friends or not, I would get a couple practices in before Christmas, so that if the chance to show off your skills comes us that you will be ready.

Until Next Time. Peace.
