The Weekly Brew Spring 2009 - Week 5

NAKID - Drinking Day Chapter May 7, 2009

Last week was very successful. Most teams found where they were supposed to play, games went on without too much of a hitch. Flip cup was played. People were dancing on the bar. Actually more teams are dancing on the bar now. In previous seasons, it was mostly just two or three teams who go on the bar, but now Moose is seeing girls of many different color shirts. Keep it up ladies. Hopefully some day, we can get the guys up on the bar.

One thing the NAKID Admin wanted to touch base with you all on. You are officially not supposed to drink on the Mall. If you get caught, you will be kicked out of NAKID and who knows what the police will do to you. Now, here is the important part. Don’t get caught by the police. The easiest way to do this, don’t be obvious. Don’t drink yellow liquid in Solo cups. That just screams “Hey, we are enjoying an alcoholic beverage over here.” Put your Magic Gatorade or beer in a closed container. Do not use an empty water bottle unless the liquid looks like water (vodka anyone?) or Gatorade. Jello shots are fine, because they just look like jello. Or better yet, go to the sponsor bars before your game and get buzzed there. Just don’t get so buzzed you don’t make your game.

The Weekly Brew Spring 2009 - Week 5

NAKID - Drinking Day Chapter May 7, 2009

Kickball RamblingsTHE

In a previous column I debated which day was the best in NAKID. And while that matter is still up for debate, after a few weeks it seems like Thursdays are definitely leading the league in one category: People acting like drunken assholes.

Maybe I’m just being old and crotchety (That lets me cross off ‘Using the word crotchety in a column’ off my to-do list.) Maybe I’ve lost sight of how the kids of today entertain them-selves. But it just seems like there’s been more drunken boorishness this season than in the past.

Kickball is a social sport, and obviously many of the league’s activities are tied in with al-cohol. So I’m definitely not promoting prohibition or anything like that. For instance, some teams like to pregame, or even enjoy some adult beverages during a game. And this is per-fectly fine. But some people take it to such an extreme that they are barely able to func-tion during a game. Even worse are the ones who get hammered and decide that they’re just going to scream at everyone or argue about every call, regardless of their actual knowledge of the rules. If you are one of these people, I can assure you that you aren’t as much fun to be around as you might think.

For those people who manage to hold off until reaching the bars before getting hammered, may I remind everyone that they are indeed bars, and not a fraternity house? Please try to act at least a little civilized. Hey, I was in a fraternity too. But then I graduated.

Also, if you’re going to play flip cup, then please try to concentrate on playing flip cup. Here’s how a flip cup game should go: Play a game, refill your cup, and then play again. This should be done in relatively quick succession. If you’d rather dance, have a deep conversation, or kick some game, then maybe you should step away from the table. I’m not saying that you shouldn’t talk to people while playing. But if you are easily distracted, and because of you there is a five minute wait between each game, then please do your thing elsewhere.

Many of you may disagree with this, and feel that the drunker you are, the better. But try to remember that if you don’t get completely out of control, then it leads to a better time for everyone.

NAKID - Drinking Day Chapter May 7, 2009

Why do dogs like to stick their heads out of windows in a moving car?

There is no scholarly research on this, but there are some theories:1) The sensation of a brisk wind against your face with all sorts of scents and sights would be appealing to most humans. And remember dogs usually have a lot more hair on their face. That wind has got to feel good. Since dogs have a higher sense of smell and a quicker perception of sound, so sticking their heads out the window has got to be one heck of a sensory mind-trip. 2) Everyone wants a better view. Dogs are no different. Which is why you also often find them sitting by windows and glass doors. 3) Dogs sense what every teenager knows-Its cooler to travel by car then by foot.

What exactly is a ‘hollaback” girl?

Thanks to Gwen Stefani’s catchy cheerleader tune, that is a common phrase these days. However, the whole song’s lyrics are not easy to understand. So we put down the pom-poms and took a look at the lyrics found on www.lyrics.com and checked with Urban Dictionary. A hollaback girl is cheerleader slang. The lead cheerleader ‘hollas’ out a chant and the ‘hollaback girls’ yell it back to her. According to Urban Dictionary, it also means a girl who follows and doesn’t lead and therefore, a doormat who will not fight back. Gwen’s lyrics basically state that she “aint no hollaback girl” and therefore proclaiming that she noone’s doormat and she will fight you behind the bleachers and “sock it to you.” Yes, the lyrics actually state that. Although it does encourage fighting (which is probably not a good idea considering the violence in schools these days), this song is actually proclaimation to women everywhere to stand up for themselves and not be a doormat or follower.

ASKNAKIDYou ask the questions, we give you the answers and all the need-to-know info you’ve been asking for ...and then some. ?

How much beer do NAKIDS drink during a season?

There is no definitive answer to this question. But we bet its a lot. We have heard that NAKIDs drink more Coors Light than is served at FedEx field during the Redskins regular season. So if you take 8 football games, multiplied by 90,000 people at a typical game, divided that by the number of different types of beer served (my guess is 10); that is 72,000 Coors Lights. That is also assuming each person at FedEx field only has one beer a game. So it’s a conservative estimate, but when you consider that there are 1800 NAKIDs and there are 10 weeks to our season, that means that we consume A LOT!

NAKID - Drinking Day Chapter May 7, 2009

Near record heat in April, many without air conditioning on yet to keep cool. Whatever will we do? Why, board the Boomerang, of course!

NAKID partnered with the Boomerang Bus for some barhopping Beerlympics,with beer on the bus and shenanigansat the bars. How the heck did this thing work? Here we go... First stop: Bottom Line, where the game was Flip Cup. Next was two games of King of the Table (single anddouble elimination rounds) and a round of beer pong at Garrett’s,and thelast stop was My Brother’s Place forDrunkball, all of which was interspersed with beer shotgunning contests on the bus. Rumor has it that a NAKID who wasn’t even playing in the Beerlympics passed out at MBP (Bennett, we’re looking in your direction). Now that’s what I call a NAKID party! And the WINN E R is: The Un-Incredibles! Congratulations!

For flip cup standings, please make sure you email the total number of teams played and total wins to weeklybrew@gmail.com by Monday. After Monday, the Magic 8 Ball can’t change my rank-ings. Also, the reason why we ask for total num-ber of teams played rather than games, is so that you all play other teams. Playing the same team over and over again only counts once.

Other than that, the Magic 8 saw lots of flip cup being played. Keep up the good work drinking dayers. There are still a few teams that have not been seen playing. Just because you think you are good, doesn’t mean you should not play. You do need to practice for the Flip Cup Champion-ships at the end of the season.
