A gift to the world... Beer Pong!

It started in Madison, the birth place of some other off the wall ideas. You have to remember that Madison Wisconsin is the haven for others that can't or would rather not. So here here we have a pass time that makes as much sense as jumping off a cliff without a parachute. It's Beer Pong, the great leisure time pain killer, that is until the next morning.

It's part bowling, part darts, part table tennis, with an enormous amount of beer chuggin'. As far as the rules are concerned,there aren't any and only if you get caught cheating.It Outback Steak House - no rules just right. I have been witness to two such matches and it'safter mat. Let me tell you , it isn't pretty.

What's required are two saw horses, a 4 x8 sheet of plywood painted a God awful color, ten large plastic cups and gallons of beer. Add three or four dozen willing contestants who don't care about the morrow and oh, ya..you need a ping pong ball. Are you getting the picture?

This intense sport was developed one spring day when a group of students in Madison got bored out of their skulls while cramming for finals. The real pro's now travel to remote locations spreading acclaim to this growing sport... very similar to NFL- Europa.

The sports commissioner, a Ms. M. Fry, was asked about her efforts in spreading the game to South America . "It's a little different down there for the table is upside-down and the ball spins in opposite direction, simaler to how things flush in Down Under."
