A classic game of (beer) pong 

As I alluded to last week, I'm kind of a hippie. Thus, I don't believe in fighting ... I settle all my disputes in life via games of Rock Paper Scissors. Some life-altering conflicts have been concluded over games of Rock Paper Scissors.

OK, maybe that was a slight exaggeration, but Panthers linebacker Jon Beason beat me in an intense game of RPS to determine which school was better, his alma mater, Miami, or mine, Virginia Tech. He covered my rock with his paper, but I'm OK with that because The U lost to the Hokies' football team 44-14 last year.

I still hadn't repaired my pride enough coming off my defeat to Beason to enter into the Bud Light's Rock Paper Scissor tournament held at Dixie's Tavern. So, I changed sports ... to beer pong.

G-Man from LazyDay is kind of a big deal on the pong table. He even made the elaborate tables that are played on at Dixie's every Monday. So we made a little wager before our one-on-one game -- he wins then I have to admit defeat in my column; I win, he has to come over and hang ... stuff up in my new house.

When I sank my last cup, he had four left. Translation: I whooped his ass. G-Man may be a beer pong legend, but little did he know that back where I come from beer pong is a sport. We had bracket tournaments where the winner got a medal. Seeing as how I was the only kid in high school living on their own in an apartment, I housed many a tournament and thus got lots of practice. Speaking of which, I'm still BFF with my hometown boys that trained me on the beer pong table.

They all came into town last weekend for a mini-reunion and wanted to go somewhere that would remind them of home ... so we went to Coyote Joe's!

As you go in, a sign reads: "Charlotte's Best Night Life" (nightlife being 2 words).

This place is a little backwards. They don't accept credit cards at the bar, but they do accept them at the door for the cover charge. Meanwhile, there were line dancers doing choreographed line dances to country music approved hip-hop. They offer free line dancing lessons every Wednesday ... should you want to learn how to hick-hop.

BLOG-WORTHY: Seeing as how my column is a week behind for special events, I am going to start writing special edition columns for the Vibes blog – for example, a recap of BAAR (Bars Against AIDS Repond) Wars for which I had to judge via sampling 57 different cocktails. What happened there, stays on the Web site ... you can read all about the shenanigans by logging on to www.qcvibes.com
