Beer Pong - Get your own Custom Balls!

[Sinecure]

Yes, you too can have your own balls.

Just saw this online and had to post. You can now get cutom-printed ping-pong balls made by Adams Balls.



Think of the possibilities.

thats pretty awesome

[Art Shirk]

Could be some great Xmas gifts. Little pricey though.

[Raps]

Loook pretty cool - especially in those cleavage shots......but $56.25 for 25 ping pong balls is definitely a little pricey........

They get stepped on,lost , eaten by the dog, thrown out windows.......etc....


But yeah could be a nice little gift.......

[JacksonDestroyer]

wow sick idea, definitely has gift possibilities.

[Cliff Huckable]

I'm trying to think of the possibilities, but all I can envision is a future of gathering dust.

The real question is Beirut or Beer Pong? Personally, I vote for Beirut as being far superior.

[Sinecure]

OK, I'll bite. What's Beirut? Other than a city in Lebanon that used to be a nice place to live (years ago).

The short version: its a drinking game set up on a table with solo cups filled with beer......two people on each side try to shoot the ping pong balls into the other side cups (cups set up in pyramids...)

Edit: and i agree with Mule......i played pong the other week and i feel like it drags on a lot more than beirut.......also depends on the college etc.....my school was strictly beirut - never saw one person play pong in my 4 years

I'd have to say that the wiki page is wrong. Beer Pong is played with paddles (or boards in some strange cases), along with different variations of cups on the table. The ball must go above nipple level on each shot, and there are all sorts of little rules...

Beirut is played with a pyramid of cups on each side of the table, teams of two, and throwing the ball - as described in the incorrectly titled article listed above.

I never really got too into the beer pong, but in the few games I played were a lot of fun. Best played on a real ping pong table or at least a 5x9 sheet of plywood

Oh. Its been a long time, but when I've played beer pong, it was with one glass on either side, and you played regular ping pong and had to land the ball in the opponent's glass. If you did, they had to drink it down. You also kept score in the ping pong game (I think landing it in their cup won you a point, not sure what we did if it hit the glass but didn't go in).

Using your hands and a pyramid of cups seems like cheating. Why not just play quarters?

[Raps]

Fatty, yeah the wiki page is pretty wrong - those rules are for beirut but i just threw that up for Sinecure to get a jist......


Sinecure, yeah they still play beer pong that way.......beirut is just another game and once you play i guarantee you won't think its cheatin

[Art Shirk]

I have had this debate probably 20 times. Beer Pong varies by region and usually college. My Santa Clara buddies play one way, my Dartmouth buddies play another, and my UNH buddies yet another.

For me, there is no purer form of Beer Pong than one cup on either side of the table [placed in the center rear, one paddle length (sans handle) from the back of the table], using paddles with no handles to lob the ball back and forth (nipple high) attempting to either hit the cup (1 point) or land in the cup (2 points). After one person lands it in their opponents cup, the other person has one thrown attempt to counter the points. There shall be no net, but a line of demarcation. The only time a non-lob is allowed is on a cup save. Sips shall be taken after each cup hit, and the entire cup must be consumed upon a sinker. First to either 7 or 11 points, win by two. This is the common UNH style that I am accustomed to.

Dartmouth, same thing as UNH but with a pyramid (beruit/UNH beer pong)

Santa Clara, same thing as UNH but no need to lob. Points can be scored by actually winning the point. First to 21 pounds the remainder.


Who else has a variation?

[MOHSHSIHd]

Beirut = throwing

Beer Pong = corner cups played with paddles



I fucking can't stand it when people call Beirut "Beer Pong" different fucking games all together.

we had a roommate from lebanon a few years ago - got a little awkward every once and a while when we started screaming about playing beirut
