Summer is Closing In

Apr 08, 2010 11:18

Well, I just got a call from the Uni and it looks like I'm not going to be teaching any summer classes this year. I was really hoping to not go out and look for a seasonal job for the next three months, but with the cost of living expenses, bills, rent, etc, I need to keep rolling in the dough so I won't be so panicked like I was last year. I need ( Read more... )

Meh, it's pretty fun. On a slow rainy day I'm usually in the arcade playing PacMan.

At least that's better than playing pong X3

Really?

I must be really spoiled if Pong is still so young...

I remember owning an Atari system and then going to the arcades to play Donkey Kong and all...

meh, they're pretty up there to be honest. Kinda sad when I'm the only one who actually remembers playing that crap.

Oh I've played them. Just... Not when they were new.

Nah you kiddos grew up with the better gaming systems. Which is alright with me, seeing as I don't particularly play them, but they do make great drinking games when you have the right people.

What kind of drinking games?

Hmm...lessee... Well the Wii for one thing. One of my bandmates has one and lets just say "Bowling" is at a whole new level that way...same with Rockband. After you get done watching the screen roll after one too many drinks you feel like you're tripping out.

Even though those are fun...I'd still would rather play Beer Pong, or Fuzzy Rabbit, hell even a few card games like Egyptian Rat Screw are fun.

You must be a good bowler if you can play that drunk; I'd probably get nothing but gutterballs. Rockband would probably be fun though.

I've never heard of any of those games... ^_^ I'll have to look them up.

By the time we finally play we can't even read the scores so I'm not sure how well we do. Oh Rockband is fun, especially The Beatles version because of the multiple microphones you can use.

...you've never heard of beer pong...god it's a classic game, you really need to play! Egyptian Rat Screw is a pretty fast pace, loud, and violent card game...and Fuzzy Rabbit is easy, you put a marshmallow in your mouth, say "Fuzzy Rabbit" then put another say it and repeat until you can't shove any more marshmallows in your mouth. Dangerous, yes, but funny as hell.

A bunch of drunk men singing the Beatles? Well goodness and to think I would normally have to go to a Karaoke bar for that unique experience XD

Well beer pong sure, the ping pong and paddles and cups and the ball that hits the table and paddle and floor in the drink, yes I've heard of that one, it sounds terribly unsanitary though, particularly for someone like me who misses more than she hits. The other two sound interesting though. Fuzzy Rabbit sounds like a bit of an easter game. Marshmallow peeps and all that. ^_^

Hey now lol! We're pretty good drunk if you can get past the slurs and understand what song we're trying to play.

...beer pong isn't usually played with paddles. You just stand at one end of the table and throw the ping pong into the cup at the other end. Bah, it's fun either way though Hinata. I think you should give it a try, who knows you might be better than what you think you are. It might be an Easter game, but I just remember playing it back in my frat years at the few parties we would host quite frequently.

I'd have to brush up on my Beatles to fully enjoy it then.

No paddles? Oh... That makes it considerably less unsanitary. But what do you do if you miss and it hits the floor?

I suppose using mini marshmallows would be cheating, right?

Ahh I think you should. A great band and definitely spurred some great songwriters out there.

Ah then your opponent standing at the other side of the table picks up the pong and has a chance to throw the ball into your set of beer cups. If he or she makes it, then you have to drink out of that cup.

...unfortunately that would be cheating. Just regular marshmallows.
