World Series of Beer Pong - 1st Round
Since I had already walked over to the Casablanca Casino, I thought that I might as well go inside and check it out. I first noticed that the outside of it was way more classier than the Oasis, and it had a tropical feel to the complex. You can kind of see the casino lights reflecting in the pond in the picture on the left. Also outside there was this gazebo with some chairs set up around it. I was very impressed with the place, and got even angrier to be staying at the Oasis when I went inside. The tropical look was continued on the inside, with fountains and palm trees everywhere. Everything was cleaner, better lit, and more friendly. I was angry at first, but now I realize that a classy hotel like this could never host a beer pong competition. The Oasis fit the bill when it come to our event.
Here is where I get to admit to my faults and just flat out tell you that I stole these pictures from the playboy.com article. I know that this material is copyrighted and that I could get in a lot of trouble for using them, but I couldn't resist because they are so good. Patrick took these pictures, there for they are his property, but I don't feel like going through the process of legally being able to obtain the rights to use these on my site. After all, no one with authority visits my site that could do something about me crossing legality boundaries. It looks like I'm going to get off Scott-free in this circumstance. These pictures capture the moment far to well for them to be placed alongside some naked chicks. They need to be on my site and be immortalized for all time. So here they are, and if you want them back... you better come and get 'em!
The positioning and timing of these pictures are perfect. I especially like the one of me because it has Brodey (the Godfather) standing right over my shoulder and positively judging my performance. That leads me to believe that he is finally proud of his student for the things that he has accomplished. Patrick came up with the caption "The Iceman shoots nothing but foam", paying homage to the "nothing but net" shot in basketball. It's catchy and I like it. We refer to Chris as Fresno because that's where he's from in California, but when he's my beer pong partner he's Hollywood because of the Top Gun connection. He doesn't mind much, so we call him different names at different times.
