World Series of Beer Pong 4 - Day 1

I know that the guys from The Double D's! Yeah...Put It In Yo Mouth have been around since at least the 2nd World Series of Beer Pong. It's kind of hard to forget a team that wears replica WWE Wrestling Championship Belts while playing beer pong. Always good to see some familiar players coming out every year.

We haven't seen rent-a-girls mingling in the crowd like this since World Series II (The Vixens Versus). And I know that I'm not the only guy who wasn't complaining. Let's face it, beer pong is a male dominated sport, and we need some chicks to break up the sausage fest, even if they are being paid to be there. The dudes like it.

I was maybe a little overly serious as we begun play on Day 1, but that was only because I was anxious to erase the disappointing memories of last year, when we failed to make Day 3. I was committed to come through for Joey Kanz and not let him down, because he deserves more than just a mediocre partner.

I should take a page out of Brodey's book. He wasn't distracted by the scantily clad women that they were throwing at us, and he definitely wasn't going to patronize their sponsor. But I was, and I will (Fringles.com). Because unlike Brodey, I have no shame. I still have plenty to learn from my master, and I will continue to study.

These guys from USA Pub Pong introduced themselves to me, but since I have the short term memory of a goldfish, I forgot their names. Sorry! They said that they recognized me from the Last Cup documentary trailer on the internet, which I would find out to be a reoccurring happenstance this year at the WSoBP.

Brodey and Balkman were also playing at the same time as Hummel, so I was faced with the tough decision of who to watch. Katie and Hummel need my support more, but Brodey is my mentor. So I split my time between the both of them. Brodey and Balkman wasted no time, winning the first game by 8 cups. Yeah, 8 cups.

It's common knowledge (although detrimental to the sport) that the athletes need to keep fueled up in between games. That's where Mr. Lite and Mr. Bacardi come in handy. Joe and I are are exceptional athletes in the fact that we have learned how to balance skill and alcoholism. But even athletes need their medicine to perform.

I've known Eric Welch of Shred the Gnar since year II, and he is definitely one of my favorite people I've met through the WSoBP. Watching his team play is incredibly entertaining, because his partner Jon gets all riled up and really puts on a show. He really gives it his all every single game, and they play some good pong.
