"pong" news and stories

Recently I've found myself at events where, just as the evening seems to be winding down, games of beer pong spring from fully formed from the ether. For those of you not in the know, beer pong is a game in which two people stand on either ends of a ping pong table (or similar structure of rectangular shape) and set up a triangle of plastic Solo cups in front of them. Each cup gets filled to some predetermined level with beer. A player tosses a ping pong ball at their opponents cup, trying to land a ball into a cup. If the ball does make it into a cup, the player to whom that cup belongs must then drink its contents. It is amusing to watch and if you're looking to get drunk, this is a quick way to do so (not that I'm encouraging excessive drinking).

The people know don't seem to require much in the way of special equipment in order to play, but when I sent a link to the PortOPong to one of the regular instigators, he was thrilled and immediately placed an order. Apparently, it's always been his dream to play in a swimming pool and now that wish can become a reality.
