Battle-Ball in a cup

Yes, and the rules are that each play takes turns trying to get there ball in a cup. only one try per turn. everytime you get it in the cup your opponent takes 5 HP away. HP can vary from any number. You can upgrade said amount of damage/amount of tries with some sort  of deck of cards. each player chooses 10 cards from there deck for each round. a round is won when someone reaches 0 Hp. The game only last for 3 rounds.

The cups are plastic cups that can be customized on the outside with things to make them look cool (spikes, boobs, designs, boobs, stickers etc.) and the ball is attached to the cup with a string so you don't lose your ball. The cards are Battle Ball cards.

The fact that this is what the people who make these games actually do to create the rules is some scary crap, for real.

Beer pong? I was talking about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_in_a_cup

Although beer pong could work too!

maybe Battle-Ball in a cup and battle Beer pong! same rules, only the difference is how to get the ball in the  cup!

[Bonn-o-Tron]

only the difference is how to get the ball in the  cup!

And the amount of alcohol involved.

The game has its origins in France in the sixteenth century. This game was loved by Enrique III. This frivolous monarch was often seen playing in full public highway.

Monarchy: it's a wonderful thing.

I played Pokemon back in 6th grade (1999) and still have a trapper keeper full of old and rare cards. Like you, I've thought about selling them. The only problem is, who the hell would buy Pokemon cards nowadays?

There's still people who buy em check up how much some go for on EBAY.
