I'm reading House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski right now. It's been great so far and has such a unique style to it. I didn't realize until I saw this post how perfect it was for spooky season. Although I wouldn't say it has any Halloween elements. It's more just general horrorish.
We used to do it where we would set up two big squares of cups filled with beer, and the shots were mixed in amongst the cups. So you could see the other side, just didn’t know where the shots were. So we were still just throwing balls, but trying to hit the ships. But we also had multiple people on each team because a 30 rack and a fifth for each side is way too much for a single person.
