Finals:

My memories are a bit hazy, but I do remember each of us having one cup left when Katie cleared our last cup. Neither Chris nor myself could clear theirs to force Slow Painful Death. Katie Drake & Jim Adducci are YOUR Beer Pong II champs. Along with the $70 purse, they also split 2 awesome PBR prizes. Without knowing what they were, I gave Katie the choice of the one that Evan brought, or the one I provided. She took what was behind Door #Cline and got a Bud Light hat with a PBR paper logo stapled onto it. Jim, however, got a pretty sweet PBR wall sign.

Not only did I lose in the Finals, but I also lost a $20 bet I made with Jesse before the Finals that I'd win. Dammit.

Stuff I think I remember:

• It was hotter than hell. First summer-time party I've hosted, and I'll have to rethink it if I'm still here next year.
• Highlight of the night was truly when Baby Got Back came on during the tournament and everyone stopped what they were doing and started dancing. The song ended and everyone just wandered off. It was an impromptu Belgian soda commercial or something.
• At one point, Evan shows me a copy of the rules that said if a team each clears a cup on their turn, they get another. This was a rule that some folks were used to playing with, but was not included in the house rules. I'm drunk, and knew that I had a couple of different versions of the rules floating between my home & work PCs. I didn't remember writing the rule, but at that point I figured it was possible. I asked Evan not to show that rule to anyone because it might lead to several hate crimes. I found out later that Jon was bored (because he went 0-3) and printed out a modified version of the rules.
• Kicking a giant medicine ball around the roof.
• Blowing the $.25 horn we found in the hallway.
• Dallas going crazy and trying to shame Jon with a Sharpie. For shame, Dallas. For shame.
• Cassie trying to collect beer can tabs, but people kept throwing stuffed bees at her and knocking her cup over. I think the tabs were for some endangered species that needed dialysis or something.

Until Beer Pong III, keep it real up in the feel, alright?
