I Hate Beer Pong

I was once in the customs line at the Vancouver airport, and two guys ahead of me had silver medals hanging around their necks. I was a little curious, wondering if maybe it was some famous althete. One of the guys turns to me and says, "So I see you're staring at my medals....". Turns out, he hadn't won them in the luge, or ski jump, or any other semi-legitimate sport that you might travel internationally to compete in.

No, in fact, he had won the silver medal in pairs' flip-cup, and a gold in singles beer pong at some dumbass International Idiot Games. And he was wearing the medals around the airport like a returning Olympic hero, and was very eager to talk to strangers about it.

Personally, I hate beer pong. Maybe I'm just grouchy because I don't like things I'm bad at (basketball, video games, pool), and maybe it's because I've only played beer pong once at some awful frat party in Philadelphia and it seemed overly complicated and not that fun.

But I'm clearly in a minority. People have a genuine love of the game.
