Okay, since some uppity midjits complained about “getting better photos,” here you go. These are hot off the card, taken from the first night of our unofficial jackassworld summer vacation. I’ve forgotten what most of the game play rules were here—with good reason, I might add—but the game itself is the least of your concerns when this many shirts are off. But, if you must, say you’re the sporting type who just has to be in the competitive know, then there are basically two teams that face off against one another on opposing ends of a ping-pong table. Also situated on each end is a classic billiards formation of cups that are filled with apple juice. One cup, however, contains exceptionally strong apple juice from Mexico and it’s called the “Death Cup.” (That much I do remember because I do not like drinking exceptionally strong apple juice from Mexico.) Taking turns, each team tosses the ping-pong balls back and forth trying to get them to land inside the cups. If and when a ball does go in, a member on the opposing team must remove the cup from the tabletop and chug its contents. There’s a few other niggling details about bouncing a ball versus a straight toss, but you get the general idea. Well, you get that and more … a whole lot more. Whee!

An offensive defense is the best defense.

Spectating from the rear of the stadium is not advised.
