Me: i’m going to need to take that dining room table off your hands this weekend. hope that’s ok.
Mom: that’s fine. do you need it for something?
Me: Elizabeth and i are having a party next weekend and we need it for beer pong.
Mom: what????
Me: that game i just explained to you with the cups of beer and the ping pong ball….
Mom: oh that is disgusting. not very lady like.
Mom: you better use a tablecloth!
only a mom would suggest using a tablecloth for the beer pong table. better make sure the tablecloth is vinyl. wouldn’t want to lose any beer to fabric absorption!

… except that an absorbent tablecloth would allow for the ringing out of beer directly back into the cup whereas with vinyl, it’s a bit trickier.

Is it more lady like if you use a tablecloth?

In the Olympics men’s and women’s beer pong is indeed different. The rules are the same, the ping pong ball still regulation, the only difference being that the ladies, do indeed use a table cloth.
In case you were wondering beer pong became an actual Olympic sport during the ’36 Berlin Games. Irishman Patty O’Furniture took home the gold for Ireland. ;-)

Love that mom doesn’t object to the use of her table for playing beer pong!

I plan on getting a table cloth because I’d like to use my ping pong table for actual ping pong and don’t want it to be a sticky and nasty
