Lingerie Bowls IV and V were both cancelled due, first in 2007 due to lack of people willing to pay to watch it, and in 2008 due to lack of permitting to play the game in Scottsdale at the same time the real Super Bowl was happening in Tempe.

But in 2009, there will be scantily clad halftime football–there’s even a horrible Web site to prove it–and it will be held in Tampa, at the same time as the Super Bowl.

And, if you go back to the Lingerie Bowl home page, you’ll see that the Lingerie Football League is also finally supposed to kick off this fall too!  Hope & Change really are working!

**UPDATE** In this time of economic turbulance, it appears even the Lingerie Bowl is not safe–it appears to have been cancelled for the third straight year.  This year’s reason: the resort they were going to play the game at was unwilling to require guests to remained clothed at the event.

Penthouse Erotic Photo Hunt

That’s the game where you have two Penthouse Pet of the Month pictures (usually from the 80’s) side by side, and you have to find the differences.

And of course, now there are Erotic Photo Hunt tournaments popping up.  I suppose for all I know, they’ve been around for a long time, and this is just the first I’ve seen–of course, I find it months after the fact.

Not sure I’d be willing to pay a cover to participate or watch a tournament like that, but if the local bar was having a tournament, I can guess my friends would be in it to win it.

The 2009 World Series of Beer Pong was won by Ron Hamilton and Michael Popielarski, both 25, of New York.  They will split the $50,000 top prize.

And with quotes like this, you know we’ll never stop following it:

“I know the media will say this is a chugging contest,” he said. “This is about a sport, it’s about a competition. They aren’t here to drink. Yeah, they’re drinking, but that’s not why they’re here.”

Of course, Hamilton admitting that he prepared for the finals by drinking a bottle of Jack Daniels probably won’t help the WSoBP’s argument–but every athlete needs proper nutrition, don’t they?

About a month ago, we had said we were going to be taking some vodka along on the annual Canadian fishing trip–well, having seen border crossings go wrong in previous years, and knowing we would spend all day-every day in a boat, we decided not to try bringing it across the border, and save it for another occasion.

And, given the 9am start time for the tournament, we figured there was no better time to break out the tomato flavored and triple shot espresso vodka.  For an afternoon snack, we brought the root beer flavored vodka, and the most recent addition to our growing liquor cabinet, the Ron Matusalem Gran Reserva Rum.

The tomato vodka made for some interesting bloody mary mixes to start the day, although at least one of us on the team was willing to try it straight up–all I can say is, it’s a good thing I like tomatoes.  Overall, the feeling was that it was good vodka–but it needed a fair amount of hot sauce added for the tastes of our crowd.

The triple espresso vodka didn’t get a lot of play, since there were only a couple of coffee drinkers on the team, and we didn’t bring anything to mix with it, since we didn’t fiugre creamy drinks + running around = good times.  Our second basemen did think Starbucks should look into adding it to their menu, though.

After we were loosened up, had a game under our belt (we’ve conveniently forgotten the score), and did some grilling, it was time for some desert, in the form of the root beer vodka.  One round of shots led to two conclusions–one, root beer vodka is dangerous, because it tastes like…well, root beer.  Two, we needed ice cream (fortunately, one of the wives was on her way to the field, and she saved the day).  Just make sure you mix real root beer with the float, or you’ll be down for the count.

After our second and third games (in which either we suprisingly played better–or the other teams had had more to drink than us), it was time to get down to serious business–the Matusalem Gran Reserva Rum. 

Although personally I haven’t had much rum as of late, there were a couple of regular Captain Coke drinkers on the team–although we made sure everyone at least tried it without watering it down first.  Overall, the general consensus was that it was a hell of a lot more smooth going down than most of the rum that we’re used to drinking–and those that did make some mixed drinks with it agreed that it was a better mixer as well. 

Overall, it was a good day for drinking–although looking back, softball is probably not a great mix with hard alcohol.  Not that we didn’t have fun–but let’s just say the coordination of a few went downhill as the afternoon wore on.  On the positive side, there was little soreness after the games–at least until the next morning.

But, I have to admit, the thought of attending the 2009 World Series of Beer Pong did cross my mind–and likely wanting to join a pro circuit shortly thereafter.

But now, before I can even get my new career started, apparently some cities (and moreso colleges) are trying to hold me back, by outlawing beer pong.  And other drinking games.  The theory?  It will help curb binge drinking.  In reality?  Not so likley.

6) When playing stripper golf, make sure the kids are off the course first.  And out of the clubhouse.

Here’s what happens when you don’t.

Are there more we should add?
