these pictures don't do proper justice to the events that occured early in the evening on december 31, 2006.


new years eve eve, we started off the night with a friendly game of beer pong. cavin&sachi vs. gavitron&jj. the outcome? cavin&sachi ruled the table.







gavitron&jj insist that hitting 6 cups in a row (shutting them out the previous night) has low statistical probability, so they challenge us for a rematch. (apparently brent has in on this action and has bet against his beloved brother and host of the party.) IT'S ON!!!






cavin&sachi cannot keep up. maybe jj, the statistician, is right about 6-in-a-row having low probability. we are losing to the challengers three cups to...







...their one cup.










gavitron&jj celebrate prematurely (sean is inside praying that they don't win because he doesn't want to lose his bet with brent)








wait a second! what happened? the sole cup is gone from the table, but the ball is not in the cup! and now i'm pointing, so you know something went wrong!







"listen! you cannot just come in here and throw the ball at the cup and knock it over and then expect a win! what kind of jackass rule is that?"
"it's not my fault you guys didn't protect your cup. that's how we play in iowa!"
paris and chris seem a little uncomfortable, but gavitron loves all the hilarity ensuing.





"WHAT!?!? that is the fucking stupidist thing i've ever heard! the point of the game is getting the ball in the cup, not to knock it over!"
"i still stand my ground. those are the rules."







"if you thought you won, then why didn't you throw up your hands in the air and celebrate after you knocked our cup over?!?! clearly you subconsciously knew that you did something wrong and that you didn't win, otherwise you would be high-fiving gavitron right now!"





b-o-b: "don't let him come in here and boss you around like that! this is your house and you set the rules!"
"yeah! what he said!"







"but seriously. i've never heard of that rule (gavitron: yeah, me neither) and we never talked about implementing that rule when we first started playing."
"it's not my fault you didn't know the rules of the game before we started playing."





now i'm really pissed and cavin has to separate us: "who the fuck do you think you are? i invited you here to my party, and you're acting like a jackass! first you make us wait 2 hours in the morning because you couldn't get to our house on time, and now you're a fucking asshole in this beer pong game! why don't you just get the hell out of my house and find your own way back to dc! this is my house, and we are playing by my rules and there is no such rule as knocking the final cup over to win the game!!!"



...it is at this point (no pictures, sorry), that i am terribly raging and i purposely knock over our remaining three cups of beer onto jj, who then realizes that he's overstepped his boundaries and quietly walks away inside to clean up all the beer i spilled on his sweatpants...




i've calmed down, apologized to jj, and decided to replay the three-cups-to-one finale. here we are as if nothing happened in the past 10 minutes. (though, all bets are off after the 2006 BP debacle.)







everything is totally fine and i'm about to walk back to our side of the table where we can resume the intense game.








not much more to tell. gavitron&jj just cannot beat the powerful force of cavin&sachi on the beer pong table. we finally square it down to one cup each, but it's sachi who puts the cap on the game by actually making the ball in the last cup. jj gets to try one last time to force overtime, but he just can't follow through.





the face of defeat.
