Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ - Beer Pong - As American as Apple Pie?

Dating all the way back to the 1970's, the game of Beer Pong has gained huge popularity in many places such as college campuses, basements, garages and even in pools. Many believe the game was invented sometime in the late 70's and was modeled after the same game played with actual Ping Pong Paddles. Rumor has it that at an unnamed university, there were no Paddles available so the players resorted to just tossing the Ping Pong Balls into the cups instead.

The game of Beer Pong, also called Beirut in some circles, consists of 2-4 players
standing at opposite ends of a Ping Pong Table or other large table, attempting to land the Ping Pong Balls in the the other teams cups, thus making them drink (or chug) the beer that is in the cup that the ball landed in. Typically the cup is filled 1/4 to 1/2 full with beer. The team that hits all the other teams cups first is declared the winner.

There are many rules associated with the game of Beer Pong although the rules will vary at practically every different place that you play. Rollbacks happen when a player or team makes one or both of their shots and gets to shoot again before the other team. Bouncing the ball into an opponents cup makes them drink double although it is quite difficult and the opposing team can try to block a bounced ball. Distraction is also a ploy that can be used by the defending team where gestures are made, noises are made, insults thrown across the table and even some provocative actions when members of the opposite sex are involved.

Typically an opponent can request a re-rack of the cups once during each game. Re-rack means that the cups can be re-arranged into virtually any shape to make the shots easier. Popular shapes would be a triangle, diamond, straight line or sidecar.
The supplies you would need for a game of Beer Pong are very simple. All you need is 14 plastic cups, 6 for each team and 2 extra for water to wash the balls. A good supply of Ping Pong Balls, some type of long table, and BEER!

Many hard-core players have custom tables for Beer Pong. You can also buy very nice
portable, fold up tables that can travel with you wherever you may want to play. These days, there are even Floating Beer Pong Tables to use in a pool or on a calm lake. There is even professional association's popping up like "The World Series of Beer Pong" which held a 3 day ,000 Prize Money Tournament in Las Vegas! The Pabst Blue Ribbon sponsored Tournament was held at the Flamingo in January 2009 and featured nearly 800 players from 45 states.

Although the game can be an absolute blast and lots of fun with a big group at
a party, always drink responsibly and hand over the keys instead of getting behind the wheel after playing Beer Pong.

Oh man, quit bitching about the controls. Get it on PC like it's meant to be played.

We know it's going to be the same game, that's why it has the same name as all the others. If they'd repackaged it as "Lara Frost: Freezer Raider" and it was the same game, we'd all be pissy and enraged. But if you go and buy a Tomb Raider sequel, you should be expecting a game that fits in with all the common elements of past Tomb Raiders.

This game is about a hundred times better than LittleBigPlanet.

I LOVE stroopwaffles. In fact, I think I could move to Holland just to learn how to make stroopwaffles. Hmmm... maybe I can find a recipe online.

I don't think there's any point in trying to figure out why we label things with the names of other countries. French Fries, Dutch Apple Pie, German Pancakes, Belgian Waffles. I think we just do it to do it. "American Apple Pie" is probably because apple is considered the classic American pie, despite where the fruit originated from.

A wonder if Andrew Keen is simply taking an absurd position to sell his book? I would so *love* to 'debate' him.

My first question would be, "Why don't you believe in the right to free speech?"

As far as self-publishing goes, our most famous of Founding Fathers, Benjamin Franklin, was a self-made man, without a formal education, and changed the world through self-publishing.

Blogs are as American as apple pie and this British tart Keen needs to realize that his country already lost that war

Observing the ease with which Mr. O decrees policies that Bush couldn't even dream of, all because Mr. O wears a "D" label, one wonders if the powers-that-be, the ones who installed Mr. O in office, use the "D" and "R" labels like ping pong paddles to get their agendas passed. When a "D" is in office, they use it to get policies passed that the "D"-people support. Then when the people tire of the "D" in office, the PTB swap it out and swap in an "R" and start passing laws that the "R"-people support.

All the while, the people are too stupid to recognize that there aren't two parties, but merely two sides of the same coin.

The Piano in the Street reminds me of a visit to Dublin a few years ago, where I saw, just off to the side of one of the main roads through the city, a ping-pong table. It seemed to offer the same sort of opportunity as the Piano in the Street, with perhaps the added benefit of interactivity --- you need to play ping-pong against someone, be it stranger or friend.

It's important to be human in the city.

KFC is using beauty to sell a product that in the end is going to make you unhealthy and overweight. College campuses are a great place to promote this sandwich because college students want fast food that tastes good. Five hundred dollars is a lot of money just to wear sweatpants around college campuses. I feel like KFC could get better promotion doing something else.

Oh that is funny! The poor ping pong table. That would be like the time the boys climbed their bunk bed and dresser to hang their rockets they made out of K'nex to the ceiling fan. I opened the door and had to duck. The rockets were spinning around on high speed. I looked around the room and back at the fan and commented to the boys that I wasn't sure if I wanted to know how they had managed to achieve such a feet.

Hmmm...the tying string is interesting. I'm sure the dog isn't too exuberant over being tied with pieces of string though...:-)]]>

3rd World Farmer lets you play out the hard life of a farmer in a developing country with droughts, disease, poverty, corruption and war. It is a fairly serious simulation that sketches some of the hardships and dilemma from the farmer's perspective. Your goal is to escape poverty by building infrastructure, communications, a school, a health clinic, political representation and insurance, while managing your farm and your family. The game can sometimes be randomly and unfairly easy or hard, so don't give up after one try. The game also has some humorous elements, such as raising elephants for livestock, so don't take everything too seriously. If you feel like learning more about the developing world or donating some time or money to a charity after playing the game, visit us at the official 3rd World Farmer site (www.3rdworldfarmer.com), where we have a list of relief agencies and organizations you can get involved with.
