The World Series…of Beer Pong

No, that is not a typo…nor am I pranking you. This past weekend in Las Vegas…where dreams come with a $4.99 lobster buffet…the finals of The World Series of Beer Pong were held.

That’s right. The World Series of…….BEER PONG!

Don’t believe me? Here is the link you need to check out.

Congratulations go out to Ron Hamilton and Michael Popeilarski of Long Island, otherwise known as “Smashing Time”, for winning the 4th (4th?) WSOBP at the Flamingo in Las Vegas.

Hamilton, who prepared for the finals by downing a bottle of Jack Daniels…his words…and Popeilarski outlasted over 400 teams to take home a $50,000 grand prize.  Hamilton was quoted as saying: “The key today was me getting real drunk and my partner not missing, and us coming out and proving we were the best”…

I’m not making this up…

Seriously…

Don’t believe me? Here is a link to the story from a reputable…and sober, news source.

aannnnnnnnnnd another link.

Chase your dreams, I always say.

On a related note…we have a photo of the latest member inducted into the Beer Pong Hall of Fame…

…or maybe not.

Way to keep justifying those student loan payments, champs.

If it doesn’t fit…he’s still going to prison.

Last night…the Juice was squeezed.  OJ was found guilty on all counts relating to his lost weekend in Vegas. Guilty of Kidnapping, Burglary, and attempted theft of Christmas.

Guilty as hell

What I find fascinating in all of this, is not that he was guilty (he’s just never been convicted before)…it wa sthat the verdict was annouced at 11PM!!! You heard right, 11PM is when the verdict was read. But then again…this is Vegas. Apparently there are no clocks in jury rooms or casinos. 11PM…that’s early in Vegas. I imagine the jury was still able to make the buffet at the MGM Grand and the midnight Lance Burton show.

I don’t know why, but I couldn’t raise my kids in a world where homicidal Heisman Trophy winners were allowed to roam the streets freely. I am taking the bars off my windows as we speak.

Bottom line…OJ is finally going to prison. it took 14 years, but justice is served.

Somewhere…Judge Ito is smiling.
