World Series of Beer Pong - 1st Round
Natalie and Mike "The Yams" from West Hollywood, CA prove that wearing funny costumes does not make you good at beer pong. Apparently they put more effort into their wardrobe than their beer pong skills, losing all 11 games that they played and coming in dead last (83 out of 83 teams). What bothered me the most was the fact that they were total attention whores, and their efforts for being the worst team won them one of the Bing Bong tables that we played on. I thought we came here to play beer pong, not strut about in our underwear and make total fools out of ourselves. Plus I talked to the guy in the tighty pinkies and he seemed like a jerk. I may be wrong about that, but the passages that I have written just now are strictly my opinions and from my point of view.
I stepped outside for a moment just to remind myself that there was life outside of beer pong, and that the world continued to turn while we were trapped inside in our own little world.
The Professors of Pong stepped up to the table hoping to teach their opponents a lesson and school them at beer pong. It seems that school let out long before they showed up to reprimand the students.
Although it was only the first day, I'll offer a bit of foreshadowing. Salmon and Aaron came in last amongst the 5 Milwaukee teams, but they still played well despite not living up to their potential.
Lorge and Casey have been playing together for 3 if not 4 years now. They play well together and compliment each other well. Plus they seem to get hot at exactly the right moment.
Casey and Lorge finished with the best record amongst our groups at 4-1. The didn't play lights out, they just seemed to be one cup better than their opponents. I'm still not impressed with their play.
Brodey was videotaping a lot of the first round play. I don't recall seeing him tape much of Day 2 or the playoffs, nor have I seen the footage that he taped that day. Someday I'll see it.
Everyone stood idly by as the bpong.com members (and organizers of the WSoBP) most likely thanked us for our play today. This was near the end of the day's events after all, and so far everything was going swimmingly.
Brodey + Balkman had the astute pleasure of playing against Peter Griffin and his dog Brian, although the real life Brian looked like a skinny little Asian kid. Brodey + Balkman won of course, because a cartoon man and dog from Rhode Island can't play beer pong.
Now we all know that Peter Griffin loves beer. That's been firmly established in multiple episodes of his hit TV series Family Guy. There's nothing more that he likes to do than toss back a cold Pawtucket Patriot with his best friend, Brian the dog. I had no idea that he would drop his family and life in Quahog to play some silly little game in Nevada. I guess he really had nothing better to do, so he went on this little adventure. Plus, he'll have another little story to tell when he goes into a flashback. "That's just like the time when I was playing beer pong in Mesquite Nevada..." then go off on some really wild and random tangent. You don't believe me now, but just wait until the upcoming season of Family Guy when it actually happens.
