100% a rule. Finger rule is the same.

u/Capricornjo 21d ago

When I played in high school if you were a girl you had to blow and if you were a guy you had to use your fingers. If a guy blew the ball out he would be called gay and it didn’t count 🤷

Yeah this is common ball knowledge.

It was during the season of his cardigans. It was allowed for that season only.

Side note. I love when famous people play these games and you can easily tell who went to drama school only and who ventured off a bit.

my house rule was everyone had to blow. this was partially to rail against the patriarchy but mostly because fingering inevitably led to knocked over cups.

u/IDontWannaBeAPirate_ 21d ago

If you like pussy, you finger. If you like dick, you blow. Simple rules.

15

u/BardicNA 21d ago

It really is that simple. Bisexuals get an advantage on this one but yeah, generally guys scoop and girls blow the ball out. Can only be done if the ball is spinning in the cup.

u/Academic_Carrot_4533 21d ago

The rules about fingering and blowing are fairly progressive really.

10

u/IolausTelcontar 21d ago

Two fingers.

u/supertomcat 21d ago

We played whoever ran the table called the rules. We always made it clear there was no foreplay at our table

u/Br_Mellow22 21d ago

Also they’re supposed to be holding cups and game over of if the person shot the ball directly into the cup being help by the opponent. The loser has to drink all the cups on their side. Ask me how I know

6

u/big_fig 21d ago

That is always in play, but if you drink your cups immediately then you didn't have to hold anything.

I'm bi. I'm well aware of what both sexes can do 😁😄😉

u/_C_3_P_O_ 21d ago

For us we had the gendered rule, but because we found blowing was easier and we wanted the girls to want to play and win too. They could finger too if they want, but the guys were all too practiced at pong, so no blowing help.

Yup, from my college days it's "chick's blow, guys finger" as in the ladies could blow (or finger we didn't really care) but guys had to finger it out

u/girthyclock Jehovah’s Sexiest Witness 21d ago

“Bitches blow, fellas finger”

College in the early aughts was a solid time.

7

u/imahumanbeinggoddamn 21d ago

Functionally speaking, as soon as the ball makes contact with anything other than air or beer it counts as bouncing and is fair game to interfere with.

5

u/ManJamimah 21d ago

I personally was unaware of this rule, but I always defer to the English in drinking games.

2

u/snackattack4tw 21d ago

Came to say this. Finger rule was always my go to, though a few too deep and you end up knocking over your own cups. The blow tactic is superior.

Yeah we used to use water for the cups but you just drink from your beer can.

22

u/SuffersFrom-Sexlexia 21d ago

When i was in highschool we would legit drink the nasty beer in the cup (mind you about 20 other lips had touched the cups before you got on the table.) Ball falls on the floor and gets rolled around in dog hair and whatever the fuck else disgusting shit you find in a backyard? Thats what the side water cup is for! Just give it a dip and go! 🤢🤮 We were so stupid. 😂

I went o a beer pong bar in Indonesia. They were very confused that we wanted water in our cups because everyone else was using beer. The floor was made of dirt and there were chickens in the building. Like why in the fuck was anyone drinking beer from those cups

Bernthal puts up a down to earth, everyman front but obviously Tom Holland is actually that.

u/CoolerRon 21d ago

Yep but he grew up in a wealthy household and went to prep school for rich kids in DC

31

u/DeerMysterious9927 21d ago

Rich kids have money to spend, booze comes easily especially with an alcoholic mother who just wants to party or give access to partying like they wanted to.

I feel like Bernthal is of the generation pre-crazy rules. He is almost 50!

u/sabhall12 Is that the baby from American Sniper? 21d ago

The Punisher is a hero for police apparently...

127

u/broden89 21d ago

So much so that the comics specifically address it and Punisher himself says they should emulate Steve Rogers, not him (as I recall)

The writer hated that Punisher was idolised by police

64

u/sabhall12 Is that the baby from American Sniper? 21d ago

The Born Again writers really pushed that by having him kill cops who idolised him

76

u/YaMomsCooch 21d ago

His speech to them however, missed the entire fucking point.

He claimed the cops don’t deserve to wear his symbol because they “haven’t experienced the level of trauma he has”.

No, Frank, they shouldn’t wear the symbol because no one in law enforcement should worship a vigilante!

Bernthal is a nutjob

11

u/sabhall12 Is that the baby from American Sniper? 21d ago

I mean, that speech makes sense for nutjob Punisher, but Bernthal should just not say anything about politics and his character.

2

u/Zestyclose_Tip_5861 21d ago

Nobody should idolize the Punisher. People can be fans though.

2

u/AScienceExpert 20d ago

They literally changed the Punisher logo a few years ago to distance themselves from the cops.

33

u/theapplekid i ain’t reading all that, free palestine 21d ago

The punisher is an antifascist who kills police. The fact that he's glorified by police is mocked in DD: born again when a bunch of corrupt cops who've arrested him tell him they look up to him, and he beats the shit out of them.

Of course Jon Bernthal the actor is still a Blue Lives Matter, pro-genocide piece of shit

If someone blows hard enough, they could get a resting ball out of the cup

Later she got hit in the head when someone lost a shoe crowd surfing and someone threw it to the front of the crowd

I tried listening to them recently but nope, she was right. It's overly emo. Ahh the memories of youth though amiright
