That title ain’t got nothin’ to do with nothin’, but I just felt like saying it because Short Circuit was a dope ass movie when I was little.

I match that randomness with another bit of randomness: I decided to build my own beer pong table.

Yes. Beer Pong.

No, I’m not in college anymore. But who cares? I still like beer. I still like games. Plus, there’s the added benefit of giving your drunk friends something to do, instead of just talking about the same old bullshit again. Oh yah, and you get to talk trash too, WHILE you drink beer. That’s awesome. =D

Sooo, I started where any DIYer would go to find some visuals for building something: YouTube. Oh yes…good ol’ YouTube. I searched “build beer pong table” and I got this video:

I don’t know who these guys are, but thanks for the instructions!! After watching the video a couple of times, it was pretty easy to recreate what they did.


My bare, naked table after having screwed on the folding table legs.


Make sure you sand it down! Get all that crud off the plywood, and any rough spots. My hands were nice and soft after that!


OOOOOH! Primerrrr!!!


I suck at geometry. I don’t know why. But that triangle isn’t so bad, right??


Primer’s all down! Ready to paint first coat!


Mmmm…Sweet Georgia Brown!! I picked it out myself.


Believe or not, that orange is called “Bird of Paradise” It makes me think of orange sherbert.


Annnnnnd 7.5 hours later, it’s done!!

Well…mostly done. I still have to put the lettering on and such, but we was done enough just in time for my Memorial Day BBQ.

More pics to follow!
