Well, I've already conquered the Beer Pong world circuit. Maybe it's time I expanded my sports domination.

And you Philadelphians booed Santa Claus? You are playing games as adults that first graders play. Evolve already!

First graders don't play games sponsored by PBR.
I don't like to brag, but I'm my RPS team's MVP. I've won 100% of the games I've played.
It's, you know, a pretty big deal.
The RPS league is basically a bar crawl with a nominal way to start conversations with people you don't know. It's a really awesome way to meet people and try new bars, and even possibly make some money. | |
