I'll never hit a drive like Tiger Woods. Never play poker like Johnny Chan. Never throw up lunch like the Olsen twins. But for a brief moment Saturday, I did something better than anyone in the world.
And it came on the grandest stage of all: the beer pong table.
Tied with two cups to go in a vicious game of doubles — with insults being hurled at every opportunity — I ended the game with one shot.
Here's how it happened: My ball hit the back lip of the far cup, knocking it off the table and legally out of play, then careened back toward us and into the near cup. A shot I couldn't duplicate if I tried again a million times.
Have you ever seen that? Man, I hadn't. I know that record will never be broken. No one's clearing three cups with one throw. Ever.
Leave a comment on some great drinking game moments you've witnessed.
Here's where I would rank it among the world's all-time greatest feats:
1. Michael Johnson runs 23.16 mph in Olympic 400 meters
2. Magic Johnson gains 100 pounds while living with HIV
3. Paul Katcher's double-whammy beer pong shot
4. Kobayashi's toilet withstands explosion after hot-dog eating record
5. Man actually ponies up $10.50 to see Ben Affleck movie
6. Vince Young eventually outscores 4th-grader in Wonderlic test
7. George W. Bush somehow gets reelected
8. Billy Joel bangs Christie Brinkley in her prime
9. Dude rings up $241K tab at Scores strip club
10. ESPN's universally panned Sunday Night Football crew never got broken up
(Oh, and if you're the New Yorker who found my wallet after said beer-pong miracle, kept my $300 in cash and didn't call the cell phone number listed in it, thanks for being an asshole.)
1- I thought once you turn 30, beer pong is a major faux pas. NO?
2- Unless you planned on picking up a streetwalker or going to Scores, why so much cash??
