The 10 Types of Guys At the Party

Weekly Ten: The 10 Types of Guys at the Party
I found this from a site and it gave me a laugh because I think I have passed for all ten of these different types of guys at a party. That's what makes parties (and alcohol) so much fun is that you can be whoever you want and most people will either laugh at you or not know who you are. It's always fun getting hit with a label from a party... It's happened to me - new names every time I go out and I love it... Funny stories are definitely worth the expensive bill you paid to get as crunked as possible. Read this list and let me know who you think you are!
We’ve all been at the sticky-floored keggers, so here’s a rundown of the ten types of dudes you’ll find at these parties. Every single party. Every single time. Print this out and bring it to the next frat/house party to check these guys off as you see them. You can even turn it into a drinking game, taking shots as they pass. Although, on second thought, that might be a one-way ticket to alcohol poisoning.
10. The Loner Stoner Sometimes accompanied by a few of their kind, this person will continually ask for weed (even when he has it the whole time) and the only goal of the night, despite the party going on around him, is to get baked, blast music and maybe flick on the TV to catch some “Planet Earth.” They want everyone to just “chill out” and usually get into arguments about why pot is so much better/healthier/just totally sweet compared to alcohol.
9. “NEEDS” to get laid guy He’s only here for one reason: He. Wants. Ass. He’ll hit on you, all your friends and pretty much anyone with a set of boobs. If no one responds to this predator, he’ll complain loudly that all the girls at the party are ugly and lame and will proceed to text every female in his phone. Avoid like the plague. Pro? He’ll buy your drinks. Con? He won’t leave you alone until you go home with him. Where you’ll probably catch something.
8. Donnie Downer Moping and clutching a microbrew. Just try and start a conversation with this guy that doesn’t turn into something about how terrible his week is or some awful tragedy in the news. He’s also most likely bitching about the music and secretly wishing someone would put on some Bright Eyes. Points if you get him to admit he likes Brand New.
7. Game Runner This guy is super serial about beer bong, flip cup, or whatever card game is on. He is the self-proclaimed BEST at all games involving cheap beer and Solo cups. When he wins, everyone knows. When he loses, he’ll blame his teammates. He is el capitano and is definitely the one that started that absurd “beer pong sign up sheet.” Statements of note: “I play way better when I’m drunk,” “This one time, me and my buddy were playing pong,” “This one time, I was playing flip cup.” Yeah, you can see where this is going.
6. Booze Hound He might be sneaky about it, but this kid will put away every drop of alcohol given the opportunity. It might not even show, but the twelve pack that you bought? Gone. The handle of vodka in the freezer? Disappeared. The keg? Empty. His thirst for booze is never quenched. Bonus? Always down for shots. Hell yeah!
5. Couch Potato Anti social, pretending to text people when he’s really just checking baseball stats on his iPhone, permanently glued to the couch and only speaking when spoken to? Yup, that’s the party couch potato. He’ll drink his face off with the best of us, provided he doesn’t have to move. Even if he may or may not be interesting, his shyness and social ineptness is often mistaken for mystery.
4. The Douche Drunk and disorderly, the Douche is usually spotted with his hand on some girl’s ass, brawling in the street, shouting obscenities at everyone who walks in, or simply breaking everything in sight. Usually not the best person to send a Facebook invite to when you’re hosting a luau, unless you want a knife fight in leis.
3. Chain smoker “Does anyone want to go outside for a cigarette with me?” And then proceed to smoke two packs in under an hour? Blech.
2. Social whore Immediately friends everyone he meets at a party on Facebook. Points if he adds you on his Blackberry the moment he meets you. He knows “EVERYONE” and the “entire hockey/lacrosse/football team are at his parties.” Generally harmless, but don’t be fooled – he is just as much your best friend as he is everyone else’s.
1. “That Guy” Embodies all of the above and brings it to the most obnoxious level possible. Sweating through his polo and yelling profanities, “that guy” will manage to drink all the booze, get thrown out of multiple bars/parties, hit on every girl using ridiculous pick up lines, chain smoke someone else’s cigarettes, take huge bong hits, mess up the flip cup game, somehow control both the music and TV, break bottles and finally pass out in his own vomit after attempting to chug the contents of a ketchup bottle, believing it to be vodka. Props if you go home with “that guy.” Babysitting experience is a must.

Pursuit of Happiness
Life is full of ups and downs and everyone goes through emotional highs and lows. Ultimately, everyone should be striving to achieve happiness in their lives. Why do we pursue happiness? Simple. It is in our human nature to do so. On the hierarchy of goals, happiness is the highest goal - "it is the end toward which all other ends lead". Trying to achieve wealth, fame, admiration, and any other goals are all placed below happiness - these are means toward one end: happiness. Happiness is a little bit harder than you think to define because it varies from individual to individual. Albert Camus said "You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life." Live your life and happiness will find you.
Fun fact: the word happiness is derived from an Icelandic word happ which means luck or chance. If you think of it, happiness is somewhat based on luck or chance - thinking you will be happy by achieving a result depends on how you perform (you have a chance to do well or do poorly, but you can boost your chances by practicing and working).
This is probably my favourite song right now and this video is sooo trippy. I just love anything that deals with pursuing happiness because everyone needs to strive for that. I just like the fact that Cudi says that he's striving to achieve happiness and knows that once it comes, everything will be alright.
The message I get from this song is pretty clear. Each day is a brand new day and you are free to go out and seek your own happiness. Being nice to people makes others happy and this can, in turn, make you happy. Knowing that people love you and are there for you makes it much easier to achieve happiness and when you're happy, there is no need to frown.
The following site lists 21 traits of happy people. Happy people appreciate life, surround themselves with happy, positive people, accept people for who they are, do what they love, are self-confident, have the ability to forgive, are optimistic, and enjoy life.
I am currently reading a book entitled "Happier" by Tal Ben-Shahar, a Harvard professor who teaches the most popular university course called Happiness. In the book, he aims to raise awareness of the general principles underlying a happy and fulfilled life. One important aspect he defines is the happiness-success relationship, in which, happiness is a means towards success, but at the same time, happiness is the ultimate end and consequently, success leads to happiness. He also talks about how for the most part, happy people tend to have better relationships, are more likely to do well at work, and also live better and longer. It is definitely a great read, but what makes it so great is that it's not just about reading. Ben-Shahar gets the reader to think deeper to reflect on their life and truly envision happiness.
I watched this video of a lecture by Matthieu Ricard, who is often termed as the "happiest man in the world", where he discusses the habits of happiness. He talks about how happiness is so hard to define and how to use your own experiences to feel happiness. It's 20 minutes but may be worth your time if you want to hear some philosophies on happiness.
One video that really altered the way I think and helped me when I was feeling a little bit depressed was "The Secret" which is also a best-selling book that was featured on Oprah. The Secret basically taught me something I already knew subconsciously but never really thought of and that is the "law of attraction". If you think of things you want and really focus on them, you can definitely achieve them. People have a tendency to think of things or situations that they do not want and that is exactly what they get. I've included the first 20 minutes of the movie (it's about an hour long) and it really helped me change the way I perceive life. If you get a chance to watch the entire thing, it really is worthwhile.

Which Beer Pong Player Are You? AND Grannies Playing Pong!
1. Supreme Ruler aka The Commish aka Tommy Technical
This rule Nazi knows his sh*t and isn’t afraid to call you out on the most minor of infractions. His dedication to the game is unparalleled and his fierce attention to detail makes the most anal of people mutter, “Chillaxify, dude.” Remember that scene in Big Lebowski where Walter flips his wig over Smokey going over the line at the bowling alley? You best believe that if Supreme Ruler had a piece like Mr. Sobchack’s it’d be out in a heartbeat if your elbow went beyond the table’s edge. Shut the F&*% up, Donnie!
2. Admiral Awesome Boobage
This chick has got titanic tater tots and isn’t afraid to use them. Pushing them together, pulling her shirt down, letting her partner squeeze, lick, and/or suck them, letting them hang, swinging to and fro – little does this chick know that she’ll be the subject of a heavy J.O. session later that night. Problem with this type of player is that so few of them actually have a rocking rack. Most times, the mams are too droops or too small or belong to your pregnant sister.
Two really sweet upsides to playing this type of player? A) Banking your shot off her bombs when she bends over into the cup to end the game and B) Having her show her nude boobs when your bet of making the shot off her headlights pays off. Good times.
3. Petey Postures aka Danny Delay-of-game
Seriously, it’s beer pong, guy – all the f**king gyrating and posturing and methodically measuring your shot royally chaps everyone’s collective ass. Rolling your wrist, training your arm, the slow bounce, standing sideways or on one foot, the Jason Kidd-like mini-prayer, even kids with OCD can’t stand all the meaningless motions. My favorite Petey Postures moment? When he plays against a kid who shoots the ball the SECOND it hits his flesh and nails every single cup.
4. Stranger Who Talks Intense Amounts of Sh*t Way Too Early
WTF is up with this dude? I just met you, you’re here because a friend of a friend of a friend felt bad for you, and people only laugh at your blatantly lame jokes because you either hook them up with choice pot/coke or have a hot girlfriend who brings hot friends.
These guys are the classic case of being able to dish it out but can’t take it. Make one little comment about his popped collar, aviator shades, or dynamite matching wristband/headband set and the game enters a stage of unbearable tension that makes Michael Jackson’s marriage to Lisa Marie Presley look like Rocco Does Jenna. Outdated references? F*ck you, guy! The act that puts him over the edge and will most likely result in a table flip and screaming chicks? Mimicking his celebrations.
5. Larry Lasers
Hey, Roger Clemens – chillax! Hope you remembered to wear your cup ‘cuz this anger management case study absolutely loves to HOSE the ball at your cups. This guys sucks because he ultimately wastes a significant amount of beer by knocking the cups over instead of the more graceful and elegant no touch swish splash. Broham almost wastes more beer than the lightweight chick with herpes who takes a sip and then claims she’s too drunk or can’t chug and leaves about 18 wounded soldiers lying about. Thanks, I’ll just be dumping those in the hazardous waste bin now, let me get the rubber gloves.
6. Max Exxposure
I don’t want to see your dick or balls. EVER. Straight female nymphos don’t want to see your junk. What makes his indecent exposure even worse is if I hit the cup while his sh*t is out, does that make me gay? I once played against a guy whose girlfriend crouched down and licked his balls during my shot. Even Kobe would brick that attempt.
7. Lights Out
I’m not talking about Shawne Merriman – he’d fall under the #4 category. I’m talking about professionals. Guys who flat out don’t miss. They make the game totally suck! It’s so boring/embarrassing. No one wants to see the Pats murder the 49ers, they want them to exchange touchdowns until a kick in double overtime from 54 yards out sends the crowd into a riot. A sexy riot that might end in morning after pills.
8. Black Out Barry
If you’ve seen Beerfest, you know that Barry Badrinath plays better when he’s drunk. I, myself, get the first round jitters, so a couple brewdoggers help settle my nerves. Then, there’s the guy who is Lights Out (see above) ONLY when he’s semi-blacked out. This is the dude playing the dude disguised as another dude, in that he has no idea where he is, who he is, or what’s he doing, but he’s absolutely mowing down cups. He doesn’t say anything, he doesn’t look anywhere except at the next cup, he doesn’t even move his stance or positioning. It’s an out of body experience that keeps him in the zone.
Congratulate him the next day over an Egg McMuffin and he’ll look at you like you told him won a 5k marathon the night before. Black Out’s run begins as an unbelievable feat and gains an audience that is amazed he can stand let alone shut the other team out. I’ve been there once…I think.
9. Crazy Shot Carl
I’ve literally punched a glass pane window because of this type of player. Sky hooks, behind the backs, off the wall, through the legs, non-dominant hand, head butts, flicks, basketball free throws – these guys live for absurd shooting styles. They love to break it out right when the game is at its most crucial moment. And you won’t get a bigger crowd reaction then when it hits. Are they really that bored or are they just thrill seekers? These are the dudes who produce videos like this…
10. Silent Assassins
The complete oppo of the Stranger(s) Who Talk Sh*t Way Too Early. These guys don’t…say…a…single…word. It’s all nods mixed in with an occasional grunt. They shake hands when the game’s over. They quietly celebrate internally. They are the Barry Sanders of beer pong. And as much as the Stranger Who Talks Sh*t takes it too far, these guys are a little too modest for my tastes. Truth is this isn’t the NFL, you don’t have to act like you’ve been there before. Beer pong’s based on pinache and flair. You can let loose once in a while – just make sure you keep it comical. You taking notes, Stranger?
11. Freddy Got Fingered/Bro That Blows
Tom Green’s Oscar nominated film box office barfer proves one thing – dudes should not be fingering other dudes. And that can be extended to cups. Think about it – what separates the men from the boys and the boys from the chicks in a game of beer pong? 1. Ability to distract based on looks alone and 2. handicaps.
Chicks are allowed to have handicaps like fingering and blowing; however, beer pong founders and organizers are smart enough to encourage girls to blow because it’s ten times hotter. “Can fellas finger?” Don’t be gay, dude. “Can females finger?” Notice no one says, “No,” outright. We always say, “You can blow.” HA! If you’re a guy that blows, you’re sending up a flare that reads, “I enjoy the company of a man’s balls on my face.”
12. Larry Leanjob aka Matt Lean-art aka McLean Sandwich
Just as chicks are allowed to blow/finger (remember don’t mention they can finger!), they’re also allowed to lean. Face it, their arms are shorter and not as strong so they need that extra foot or so to remain competitive. It’s like the Ladies tee at golf courses. The worst is when you have the 6′7” monstrosity across the table and he basically leans over and phi slamma jammas it into the cup like a pissed off Shaq.
You tell him the shot will count but from now on, take a couple steps back. what does he do? he take three strides back and still leans to the halfway point of the table. Someone tell this guy to take a knee or something! If a dude leans and misses all the time, that’s okay. That’s like a first time golfer or an 8 year old boy lining up from the ladies tee, you know he won’t do any damage. What I hate is the guy who leans even after you called him out on it and continues to bang down cups. You’re not good, you’re Rafael Palmeiro.
Isn't it funny seeing grannies play beer pong? Ok... maybe it's just AWESOME!!! Check out these 25 grannies playing pong! They look like such naturals. Grannies Ponging it
