Default Cup Stacking?!?

ESPN is really stretching the "S" in its name for this one. I'm speechless. How does someone even get into competitive cup stacking? Turn it on ESPN before 3 to catch the action.

Because it involves speed, it actually requires more "athleticism" than something like scrabble, spelling, eating, or poker.

And it's not a cup stacking thread without a link to the world record:

Is it really any worse than the Rock, Paper, Scissors championships?

The trick is to make a good drinking game out of it.

Saw it. Vomited.

It's like they keep looking for the "next" poker boom.

Darts? Cupstacking? What's next? Golden Tee???
