World Series of Beer Pong 2 - Day 2 |
I brought an impressive array of clothing out to Mesquite that showed people who I was and where I came from. I only ended up wearing one outfit because on the day when I wore this shit, I played arguably the worst beer pong of my career. I decided to switch back to the retro Brewers shirt and all was well again. |
No one passed on the memo to me that stated that it was Brodey's Brewer Fun Day Extravaganza (BBFE) t-shirt day on Day 2 of the WSoBP. I doubt that I would have worn the t-shirt if I had known and packed it with me, but I still would have appreciated being let in on the event. Brodey claims no responsibility, so I still love him. |
Denise and Katie snuck past the white picket fence and got in a little pre-game practice. We weren't supposed to cross the line until they called our games, but they must not have listened to the rules. It's either that or they are a couple of badasses who don't follow rules. Speaking of badass - check out the reflection of the ball. |
It was getting later in the morning and I was already starting to show some of the side effects of all day drinking and partying. One thing that I will point out is that my eyes (particularly my left one) were starting to fail me. My contacts were getting old and messing with my game. I hate to blame my performance on any one thing, but how can you hit the cups if you can't really even see them? |
Being drunk and meeting people has a lot of negative repercussions. For starters you often have no recollection of of meeting them, and you often forget their names and where they are from. I met these 2 gentlemen at last year's event, but I have since forgotten anything else about them. It's a shame that I have such a poor memory, because they are really nice people and we had a good time. |
One superstition that I have started in my later years as a ponger was to drink a little Sailor Jerry before my matches to calm myself down. You'd think that as a veteran player I'd have enough self control and not allow myself to succumb to pre-game jitters, but I still do. I guess after all these years, I'm still that excited to play beer pong. |
Hummel and Sara were sitting patiently on the bleachers when I sat down next to them and snapped this picture. They didn't know that I was making this silly face at the time, which isn't hard to believe because I doubt that I even knew that I was making this face. |
We had yet to win a game today, but I still was feeling excited and positive. How could I not? I was at the greatest event in the world, it was mid morning, and I was already drunk. Sure, I would like to win a few games and make Day 3, but I will take the aforementioned items as a consolation prize 9 times out of 10. |
