Super Bowl Sunday was a hell of a time. I had about 20-25 people over to my place. My roommate, Higgins (yea it's the 'Iggins pad), and I supplied a keg. Everyone else brought dip and other good stuff. We kicked off the festivities pretty early so we decided to come up with a way to pass the time leading up to the game. Our conclusion was a 3 cup tournament. What is 3 cup you ask? Well, it's only the best drinking game ever invented. Let me break it down for you. You can thank me later. The game is a take off beer pong and is very similar in many ways, so keep that in mind.
- Rather than 6 or 9 plastic cups, you place 3 pint glasses (must be glass and same size) into a triangle on opposite sides of a long table.
- Fill each glass with 12oz of beer
- Both players on a team take a shot with a pong ball. If the ball is made, the defensive team must drink the entire beer
- If the ball bounces off the top of the glass, the defensive team must catch it out of the air. If they do not catch it before it hits the ground, it counts as 1 drink (4 drinks per cup). The ball must bounce up (imagine a horizontal line on the top of the glasses - it must cross that).
- The ball remains in play until it hits a real horizontal plane (think table or floor).
- First team to eliminate their opponent's beer wins.
The defensive part really makes for a competitive game and you're basically always in the action in this game. Give it a try.
After the game, we had the idea to have a massive snowball fight on my roof. We even drafted teams. Unfortunately, I suck at drafting snowball teams and my team got destroyed. It was pretty hysterical though because the roof was very slippery. People were running around and falling all over the place. Since most of my team abandoned me, I mostly resorted to running over to the other team's side and attempting to whitewash people. It ended in disaster when I was snowraped by their entire team. I've never felt so violated... It didn't take too long for us to realize that my neighbor who shares the roof with me doesn't appreciate snowball fight noises at all. We were instructed that he had to work tomorrow and that was the end of the battle. It was ok because we moved to the mellower version of snowball fighting. We began pelting people walking by on the street. I live by a couple of college bars, so our targets were mostly wasted college kids. This brings me to my second recommendation of the blog. Participate in a snowball fight.
The setup in my condo is great for watching sports. I have 55" and 40" Samsung LEDs. The smaller one is on a rotating arm. It was awesome for the Super Bowl because we could angle the TV towards the other half of the room. It saved a number of my friends from having awful seats. You can also watch two games at once. Let's just say it encourages sports betting.
Like how I started a fire? That shit is blazing!
I've been playing a good amount of poker this month and I've been running great. I sometimes forget how fun poker can be when you're running really hot. I've also tightened up lately and it seems to be helping me stay out of some tough situations. My lack of play in January is at least paying off in that I have a clear head.
Figured I'd throw in a pic of my setup. I need to unpack that printer...
