If someone challenges you to a boat race, don't show up at the side of the Chin-Chan river with paddle in hand.
The last laugh will be on you, as the competition will receive your share of the free beverages as well as not freezing their butts off.
A plethora of time and energy must be spent practicing to develop proper muscle tone and perfecting ones drinking skill & style.
The competition consists of four hearty participants gathered in public watering holes crammed full of energetic lovers of sport.
For simplicity sake (so no one takes too much valuable time away from studying) the team members will be refereed to as 1, 2, 3, & 4 (1 being the lead off and 4 being the anchor).
The team forms a straight line along side the precisely surveyed platform of amusement.
Each team member is furnished with two full 8oz. containers of like warm golden nectar (brand not important, although we all have our favorites).
From now on the glass clutched in the hand(s) with baited anticipation will be "A" and the other one will be called "B".
Both beverages may be consumed using the power arm, as some lack the coordination to drink using their wrong hand.
To start the phenomenon a high qualified and respected member of society with impeccable morals and loved by all is required. Since no one that meets those criteria exists pick any loud mouth, outspoken, slob that may be present. On the designated signal member 1 gently places the extremity of "A" to their anxiously awaiting lips and with majestic skill & grace inhales the contents with one big swoop of the head.
Each contestant is sure not to spill a drop as the beverage they ingest is a rare and highly sought after commodity among students. The holy grail is inverted and waved aloft over the barbarian's head as a signal for 2 to commence battle.
The glass may then be placed on the table so 1's arm doesn't get tired.
Number "2" seeing the empty signal from 1 may now perform the same sacred ritual on the unsuspecting "A".
3 and 4 respectively undergo this breath-taking act of pure dexterity and fortitude.
Here is where this seemingly entertaining and harmless event can turn ugly and many teams have been utterly obliterate.
Only the years of experience and superior intellect of the anchor can save the rest of the squad.
4 now with split second timing must pick up "B" at the exact nanosecond "A" is finished and engulf a second beverage.
This incident starts a chain reaction and the whole mind-boggling series of events reoccurs, this time starting with 4 and ending with 1.
The extremely heated competition usually ends in a photo finish but only one team can win. So get a team together and practice, practice, practice and I'll see you at the races. /pf/images/graemlins/wink.gif /pf/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
