If it involves beer, then I do. With beer, you can turn even routine activities into a few hours of fun followed by a day of headache. I got this email and I thought I'd share as an example: Football Watch Party Supplement Brent Musburger Drinking Game WARNING! Play at your own risk. It is conceivable your whole party will be s***faced with 8 minutes remaining in the 1st quarter. Rule #1: "The Pardner" * Partner is spelled "Pardner," because that's the way Brent says it. A person is picked to be The Pardner at the beginning of the game. The first time Brent says "Pardner," The Pardner has to take 1 drink, and then picks someone else to be The Pardner. The next time Brent says it, the new Pardner has to take 2 drinks, and then pick a new Pardner, and so on and so on. The Pardner must wear a special "Pardner" hat. Rule #2: "Folks" Everyone drinks 1 when Brent says "Folks." However, if Brent says "Hold on Folks," everyone must drink once. But the first person to drink has to finish their drink for not holding on. Rule #3: "It's a foot race!" Whenever Brent says "It's a foot race," everyone has to finish their drink. The first one done becomes "That Man" and gets to punch The Pardner in the arm. Rule #4: "There's that man again" After someone becomes "That Man," they get to give away 3 drinks to someone of their choosing the next time Brent says "That Man." That person then becomes "That Man." If Brent says "That Man" before "It's a footrace," The Pardner becomes That Man. If The Pardner becomes "That Man" first, he gets to punch the new "That Man" in the arm twice after giving away the 3 drinks. There must also be a special hat for "That Man." Rule #5: "Dr. Pepper" Everytime Brent says "Dr. Pepper," everyone has to yell out "I'M A PEPPER!" and take 2 drinks. Afterwards, each person must give out a satisfied "AAAAAAAHHHHH!" as if in a Dr. Pepper commercial. Anyone who fails to do so must drink again. Alternate Rule #5: "Budweiser" If the game is sponsored by Budweiser and not DP - every time that Brent says "Budweiser" everyone has to yell out "THIS BUD'S FOR YOU!" and take 2 drinks. Afterwards, each person must say "TRUE" as if in a Budweiser commercial. Anyone who fails to do so must drink again. Rule #6: "Jack Arute" Whenever Brent says, "Our ol' buddy Jack Arute" everyone has to say "AROOOOOOT!" Last one to do it has to do a shot. If everyone does it simultaneously, The Pardner must do a shot. Rule #7: "In the college game." Whenever Brent says this little gem, everyone must say "Shut the f**k up Brent," drink 2, and punch The Pardner in the arm. Rule #8: Mentioning a Big 10 school This is during a non-Big 10 game. Whenever Brent does this, the first person who names the Big 10 school's mascot gets to make somebody drink for 11 seconds, since there's 11 schools in the Big 10. Rule #9: Calling a touchdown This is before the player actually scores. For example, during an interception return, Brent says "It's a touchdown!" before the player actually scores. In this case, everyone must start drinking and continue to drink until the player actually does score. If by some odd event, the player does NOT score, everyone must finish their drink. Rule #10: "Gary, my man." Whenever Brent says "Gary, my man," The Pardner gets to choose someone to be Gary. From that point on, that person must be referred to as "Gary, my man" until the game is over. "Gary, my man" gets to give away 5 drinks the rest of the game any time Brent says "Gary, my man." If someone talks to "Gary, my man" without calling him that, they have to do a shot. If there is someone playing the game actually named Gary, that person is automatically "Gary, my man." Rule also applies to "Gary, my friend." But Rule 14 still applies. Rule #11: "The Major" If Brent has a pet nickname for one of the players during the game - for example, calling Major Applewhite "The Major" - everyone must drink 5 anytime Brent uses this nickname. However, "Gary, my man" does not drink but gets to give away 5 drinks since this person already has a nickname of their own. Rule #12: "John Saunders" The first time Brent quips with John Saunders, everyone must drink 1. The next time, everyone must drink 2, and so on and so on. Rule #13: In the booth. Whenever there's a camera shot of Brent in the booth, The Pardner must make a toast to Brent. After the toast, everyone must drink 1. Rule #14: "My Friend" Every Pardner gets to choose a "Friend." The friend must always get up to get The Pardner another drink (since The Pardner will be doing quite a bit of that). However, when Brent utters "My Friend," The Friend gets to punch The Pardner in the arm for making him get up so much.
For all the wannabe handymen/handywomen, there's the "This Old House" drinking game: Take a drink if: * Steve offers to help * A new contractor is introduced * The homeowner says anything about their budget * Norm taps his safety glasses and reminds us how important they are * A new technology is displayed or discussed * Anyone visits a manufacturer's plant * Norm says the word "biscuit" * Tom Silva gets to say goodbye at the end of the show (take two drinks if any other person gets to say goodbye) * Anyone says the word "ogee" * Tom Silva says the word "rot" * Steve says "I don't know, Norm..." * A city or local inspector appears * Steve gets out of his pickup truck and you can hear the "ding" from the you-left-your-keys-in-it alarm * Norm says "draw" instead of "drawer" * Norm "Mr. Shop Safety" Abram leaves a safety guard off a shop tool so "we can get a better view." * It's obvious that Steve and Norm are talking from a script Finish your drink if: * Steve breaks anything * The historic preservation board turns them down on something * They actually finish a house project Finish the whole bottle if: * Norm breaks anything * Anyone gets arrested for violations of historic district zoning * They ever sell that big house they renovated for themselves * You buy that big house they renovated for themselves (though realistically, the guys and WGBH could probably buy you a bottle... you'll need it) The Perverse Reverse Cause-And-Effect Rule: * If Norm and Steve drink, you have to break something. This rule often comes into play at the end of a big project, where they commonly have a big party. See reruns of the California farmhouse project for details. We're of course not responsible for whatever you break, sorry. Don't get hammered!
I love beer pong! I still have my paddle (Paddle #3) from my college days. I got pretty good at it, too. Ahhhh, those were the days. Staying up until 4 AM... getting smashed... listening to some classic rock... Getting rowdy... Go to this link and look at the bottom 4 pictures. That's the basement of my fraternity house. (I'm not in any of the pictures.) We've sectioned off an entire area just for pong.
cuz you watch college football He's always jocking the Big 10, the "partner" stuff, "folks"... Since I received this email, I don't even know if he annoys as much as entertains me anymore!
Right but also like you said, he is so annoying that he is "entertaining"! How he has kept a job announcing college football is a mystery to me. The only one worse than Musburger is Beano Cook. A friend of mine who loves college football like me is convinced that ESPN "dusts" Beano off every time they think they need a college football "expert". What kind of name is "Beano" anyway??
The Beano Theory is tied in very closely to this: <img src="http://www.jmike.net/images/burnsinhalf.jpg">
i dont know maybe i live in an odd neighborhood. but we dont play beer pong with paddles. we just put 10 cups in a triangle..like bowling pins on each side of a table and just bounce the ball in. if you get it in a cup, the other team has to drink the cup. if you and your partner get it in the same cup the other team has to drink three cups. is that how you guys play? ive played "power hour" so much, i dont even drink beer anymore normally, i always use a shot glass and a watch or its no good.
Who play beer pong with a paddle??? Its like this. XXXX XXX XX X Thats how the cups at both ends of the table are arranged. When you sink a ball, the other team has to drain the cup.
just so some of yall beginners know what they are talking about. Beer pong is played with a paddle. When it is played with just throwing the ball it is called Beruit. Too many people confused Beer pong with Beruit. Similar games, but fun in very different ways.
