(By the way, do we smell a raunchier sequel to Dodgball here or what? “Man, we need $50K again! What are we going to do?”). For those of you somehow unfamiliar with Beer Pong, the basic rule is to lob a ping pong ball into a cup of beer. Beyond that, we’re not sure, though Google Images seems to indicate it often involves buxom young coeds with cleavage-enhancing postures. But that’s neither here nor there. The point is that Toonces has pointed us in this direction and we feel like we need to follow it. It ends tomorrow! We’ve wasted too much precious time already! Vegas. Alcohol. A pseudo-sport. This is where the Redactular should have been. We do not endorse binge drinking in any way; that said, what are your three favorite all-time drinking games and your three favorite all-time bar-room games?

I just switched back on to RandB, and my eyes froze…not on the two babes (2 small a picture) but because I thought the title of this was “Beer Bong”…shows that there is in indeed a phenom aptly labeled as a dopeover !

For those who need practice, you can play Beer Pong on Wii. Although there it is cleverly named “Ping Cup”.

A form of Beer Pong was included in BeerFest, I believe. The movie wasn’t as good as it could have been, but it wasn’t bad.

We played the “Stuttering Jimmy Pete” game quite a bit until the vomit on the floor got to be too much.

Rules are: Whenever our favorite Wolve’s announcer gets so angry about how the Wolves get no respect from the refs that he actually starts stuttering, everyone from Edina, Robbinsdale and Bloomington has to down a shot of Jack Daniels and chase that with a Bud Light. Everyone from St. Louis Park takes a sip of their Martini and hit of weed.

Has anyone ever played Anchor man? If you want to really binge drink this is the game for you. It’s an SCSU specialty.
