Title: How good are YOU at quarters?
Post by: DrewKaree on December 18, 2005, 04:16:51 pm
Another of the vital uses for quarters.  If you aren't familiar with the game, you should get the general idea after viewing this:

I especially love the caption ;D

Regardless of how many bad shots there were (of course there were some), those shots were amazing. Luck or not.

Quarters is a great game...and some of those shots were sick.

Speed quarters is another favorite.  And, after you've played a few good rounds, trying to play the driving cabinet is so much easier...

The multiples-in-a-row that you can SEE him dump out of the glass and restart?  Sure, you can totally tell from the reactions on a bunch of shots, but you're missing the point of the caption underneath the vid.  So WHAT if they didn't show all the bad ones.  HOW MANY bad ones had to be cut out to show the good ones?  Time wasted like that is exactly what the guy is talking about - do something USEFUL with your time.  Like experiment with running cheap vodka through a Brita filter to see if it gets TONS better (it does) ;D

Heh, funny thing is, they now make Alcohol purifiers just like Britas, except with a more ridiculous pricetag.

The sad part is that someone probably paid $25,000 for that guy to go to Princeton while he perfected those skills.

I used to play a LOT of quarters and could beat most people, but I was paying my own $8,000 tuition at UMass.

similarly, i used to post A LOT on forums in college, but i wasn't paying my tuition; and thus, i didn't stop.

I used to be pretty frackin' good at quarters, but I haven't played it in years, so I expect that were I to try today I would find that I really stink at it.

Never played quarters.  Where I come from, if you want to drink alcohol, you just drink it.  Nothing complicated about it.

We played a different variation of that game. You would put quarters on your elbom and snatch and grab them.

Hard to explain...

Now, I dunno what an "elbom" is, but I get the other part.  So you ARE a girly man?

And the only hard part to explain is why you put quarters there.

Lux, the games aren't to complicate the process, it's to add even more fun and amusement to the whole process, as well as increase the peer pressure to get a lot drunk.  Helps the dorks make friends too when they pick on a girl for you and proceed to get her hammered

Here's a pic... Those quarters are balanced on my upturned elbow. Object is to rotate your forearm downwards and grab the quarters with your hand...

You would start off with one quarter, then progress 2, 3, until you were doing STACKS of quarters. Every quarter you dropped was won by the other guy(s) you were playing against...

I keep it basic.  I have mastered and usually stick with Foot In Your Ass Fu.

That is, in fact, what Fu means... it is a contraction. 

Foot In Yo Ass = Fu

When it is truly time to put a foot in someone's ass, the time for talking has passed.

Thus, the shortened one syllable word for Foot In Yo Ass.

Fu.
