1) do people play this game?
2) do they have celebrity beer pong tournaments?

I have played beer pong. with well-regarded scientists, nonetheless.

i'm not sure if i have played this game or not

1) yes, my roomie and his crew played it extensively in college
2) they'll start up as soon as this Texas Hold'Em craze dies down

Fuck drinking games.

that's right, drinking is a serious business.

especially when you're playing a drinking game...

a long lasting friendship between my fiance and her best friend of 8 years was severed in the summer of 2003. I was playing a rousing game of asshole with a group of people, including the friend's sister. well, a game went by, I think I ranked VP and she ranked secretary or something like that. she said something, I said something to the effect of "that's great, now fill my drink, asshole."

later than night she told her sister, the best friend, about my calling her an asshole. this caused the friend to leave my fiance a nasty voicemail including something to the effect of "how dare he insult my sister! he had better not ever darken my doorstep ever again!!"

the friendship ended abruptly right then and there (thank god, she was a major bitch anyway). all because I called her sister an 'asshole.' during a game of Asshole.

thank fucking god for small favors.

Way to hide behind a game, pussy.

i know. what a pansy i am

Give me a phone number where I can reach your fiance and tell her what an asshole you are for re-telling this story on the innernet.

oh you

Beer pong seems bigger in the north. I never saw it until visiting some cousins in NJ, and we played it at parties a lot in NH. Asshole is always fun because its so damned easy to cheat.

A celebrity beer pong tourney sounds beyond awesome.

Chase, I think you should promote one on your local access TV show..see if you can get any state officials to come over from the capitol.

actually, you partly inspired me, because when i thought of the celebrity tournament the first names that came to mind were Bobby Bonilla and Bum Phillips.

Its played all over the place in colleges in NC. It's basically all my friends at Wake Forest do.

What is beer pong?

The Rules - As submitted by a 13 Year Veteran
from Beerpong.com

1. Mass Consumption is unavoidable unless your remain undefeated. Un-defeated players may drink casually if desired.
2. Game is until 4.
3. Cup location is decided by:
Doubles - paddle length from edge of table closest to you. - paddle length from middle line towards side-line.
Singles - paddle length from edge closest to you, on mid-line.
4. Play is with 12 or 16 oz. cups. Bottles and cans work with slight rule variation (no splooks - see rule #6.)
5. Hit the opposing cup(s). Never on serve.
hit cup = drink 1 (in doubles-it could hit both cups = drink 2.)
6. Sink the ball in opposing cup(s). Never on serve.
a splook = chug full beer. Game over. Don't splook a serve.
7. Place ball, strategically or accidentally, in position where opponent might knock their own beer over.
8. If you're responsible for knocking over your own beer you must
in doubles - chug remainer of partners beer
in singles - drink heavily and feel ashamed.
9. Ball must be served on the table. If not - do over. This is a sham.
10. Play is based on continuous volley. Mostly everything counts, within reason. Ball off of; floor, wall, ceiling, window, fore-head, beer can, ashtray, whatever, is all good. Play with the understanding, however, that you're trying to maintain a flow to the game. Don't be an ass.

12. No Blocking allowed.
13. Play with a list to rotate next.
14. Play Round robins.
15. Play Best of 3 / 5 / 7 / Etc.

Hockey was my ultimate drinking game, beer pong was for the posers

WOW. Just wow. That would be too awesome.

That's not like any beer pong game I've ever played. Maybe in United Arab Emirates or something.

Yeah, I thought that was a funny and confusing set of rules.

Also like how he spelled "remainder" as "remainer" like he'd say if he were drunk.

And what kind of game is Asshole?

Whenever I played Asshole in college I'd somehow end up being the President. I didn't drink beer, only my water or juice or whatever, and I never treated my underlings bad because I was too nice. So...was I really a winner...really?

bort

np: john coltrane - a love supreme

Also - i didn't understand the rules to beer pong but I'll take on anyone in a regular game of ping pong.
