Jumper Beer Pong

February 24, 2008
(Boston, MA)

Bakermeister and Wildman got together for a little home cooked Surf & Turf courtesy of Mamma W and guest star, Jenna.  After dinner, the duo headed over to check out the movies and headed to see Jumper, which received mixed reviews. Aside from the volume control issue in which the theater had the audio set about 15 decibels too high, the movie provided decent action and a plot that could have used improvement. Overall, the movie didn't even come close to the Bourne Identity or Matrix series, but it exceeded our low expectations for entertainment.

Next in line was Boston Beerworks for a pint of Boston Red and Backbay IPA. Some babes were present at the brewery and we noticed on the way out the Brigham and Women's hospital gathering of some nurses, but they did not require mouth to mouth resuscitation.

Next stop was Jillians for a classic round of Beer Pong. As predicted, the tables were booked so another brewski at the bar was in order for the waiting game. Ironically, we almost waited longer for our beers than we did for the pong table. Service was poor, although babes were hot, young and aplenty.

One of the things I noticed about the Pong tables is I think they may have been upgraded since our last visit and were difficult to move. The tables had the unfortunate bias of having the hanging lights almost directly above our cups. Additionally, the paddles were in rough shape. Baker's paddle was particularly bad and he kept displaying the female anatomy of his paddle to the crowd. Speaking of the crowd, we had a mixed crew to our left with one hottie in red who was a bit flirty, but clearly taken. A second group of four chicks arrived, but played the stereotypical "Ping Pong" that many women tend to play pong - - lots of slamming, laughing and recklessness that makes me cringe about thinking of ever inviting them to play the sacred game of Beta Pong. To boot, two of the chicks were just not overly attractive and it was unclear if they were sisters or lesbians. The other remaining two were average or slightly above average, but did not pay enough homage to Beer Pong.

As for the main event, Wildman drew first blood with the first sink. Then low and behold Baker came back with a quick throwback and a two sink reversal for a nice, up front rally. Was Baker going to extend this lead to make up for his devastating overtime loss previously at Jillians? Unfortunately for him, this result was not in the cards. Wildman tied it up 2-2 and got into the groove scoring an additional 7 points. Baker's only sink during this duration was on a serve. As the game was winding down, Baker managed to score the final point of the night. Overall, Baker was a bit disappointed with his performance and we will certainly give him some handicap for the weaker of the two paddles. Nevertheless, Baker is still a virgin to Vegas World Beer Pong and it is said that to take his game to the next level, he must experience playing with the best of the best. Until then, we'll leave Baker to his trial law cases and save the beer pong cases for another day.
