Thanks...

Here's one that's a bit crude to start us off...

A close friend of mine was once performing a sex act on a young lady who was enjoying herself so much, she bucked and broke his nose on her pubis. He bled like a b.astard all over her intimacy. That in itself is a bit embarrassing but nothing you can't get over. The two kickers that add to it are thus... the first thing they thought to do when met with this situation was to take polaroids of their bloodied selves and secondly... she was ginger.

Bleurgh...

Makes sense...

One of my ex-girlfriend's cousins is called Carrie and she took some photos of herself whilst covered in such blood (staged). She had two of them removed by myspace officials because they were too graphic. I can't check it now but I'll post a link later on.

Anyone else have a blood related story?

I shan't post them... that's a little crass. I'll leave a link for all those freaky enough to care. They're quite arty y'know... nowt to be scared of.

Beer Pong?  What's that? Something to with table tennis or odours?

I'll speak on behalf of the whole country: We've not heard of it.

Do tell.

So since I forgot I ever started this conversation, there's a warning at the top of my screen telling me I shouldn't post here because no one else has for over 120 days...


Anyway, for those still interested, in order to play Beer Pong you need a rectangular table, cups, beer, and ping pong balls (four if you're doing two against two, two if you're doing one against one).  You can either play ten cup (which requires twenty cups, ten for each side) or six cup (twelve cups, six for each side).



You (and your partner, if you have one) set up your cups in a pyramid shape at your end of the table while the other team (or player) does the same.  The object of the game is to toss your ball into the opposing team's cups.  If the ball lands in the cup, the opposing team has to drink the beer in the cup.  First team without any cups left loses.  Rules vary, but here are the ones I've heard when playing.


1) At the start of the game, players take eye-to-eye shots (meaning you look each other in the eye, not at the cups you're shooting for) and shoot at the same time.  Whomever sinks a cup first gets to shoot first for real.  If both players miss, this is continued until someone sinks a cup.
2) If you're playing two against two and both players on the same team sink two cups in a row, the balls are sent back and they get to go again.
3) If the ball circles around the rim of the cup, the opposing team is allowed to blow on it in order to pop it out.  Sometimes people call the "bitches blow" rule, meaning that only girls are allowed to blow.  There's also a "bitches finger" rule but that's pretty lame (you hook a finger into the cup and toss it out before it goes into the beer).  It's too easy to get a ball out so most people don't use this rule.
4) Usually during a game there are two re-racks when there are an even number of cups.  For example, if you have six cups left and it's the opposing team's turn, they can call a re-rack, meaning you have to arrange the cups into the same pyramid shape they were arranged in at the beginning of the game.  This makes it easier to sink a cup because all the cups aren't spaced out.  Re-racks are never called in the middle of a turn (i.e.: if Mark and I were on a team and he made his shot, I wouldn't be able to call a re-rack).
5) A water cup is almost always kept on the table in order to rinse balls off if they've fallen on the floor.  I've played many games where I ended up having to fish hair out of my beer before drinking it.
6) If a player is in the middle of drinking a "game beer" (a beer used in the game, as opposed to a beer they're just drinking on the side to get extra shitfaced), and a player on the opposing team sinks the ball in their "game beer", the team that made the shot automatically wins.
7) Instead of just shooting the ball into a cup, players can bounce it off the table instead.  If the ball bounces once on the table and lands in the cup, the team has to drink two beers instead of just one.



There are a ton of other rules but these are the ones I'm most familiar with.  It sounds confusing but it really isn't.  When I finally make the trip out to London I'll make a point to go to a pub and teach some Brits how to play.
