Cornell Guys Too Sober to Play Regular Drinking Games
When not beating out Iowa City for the best college town, Ithaca can get a little dull during its down time. That might explain why a bunch of frat bros have created a new drinking game, now unfortunately available on YouTube. Produced by a vague “Society,” the video borderline Chef Tony infomercial details “Russian Roulette,” which consists of a frisbee, Solo cups, and Cornellians too sober to simply play beer pong or Kings (yes, we’re also wondering why everyone isn’t just piss drunk 24/7 in Ithaca).
After the jump, learn the rules!
The basic premise of the game–spin a wheel full of cups, turn over the cards corresponding to each cup, and meet your drunken fate. Some face-card rules laid down in the video:
- Queen, the Neighbor’s card: “You drink your cup and the people to left and right of you drink theirs.“
- King, the All-for-One or One-for-All card: “Turning the King card puts you in a position of power. Spin the disc again to see who the vodka shot lands on; then you can make everybody else except you and vodka man drink their beers.”
- Joker, the WTF card: “Make up your own crazy rule. At Cornell, we do body shots, but that’s not for everyone, so make up your own crazy rule for this one.”
Besides appreciating the usage of “vodka man” multiple times, those looking for a pointlessly complicated way to get shitfaced can also admire the extremely classy Cornell bear frisbee. Never students to shy away from “throwing in some school spirit,” credited developers “Diesel” and “Sheezie” also make sure everyone notices the most important aspect of the game: which school’s shot glasses to use.
We prefer Cornell, but Georgetown’s all right too.

Overall low quality of the posts aside, it’s starting to seem like Ms. Zhang doesn’t even read/watch the things she writes about, or just has terrible comprehension skills. I could see how the thing might look like a frisbee at first, but the beginning of the video makes it pretty clear that it is a lazy susan with a printed-out bear logo thrown on top. Taken with the pig head-on-a-stick post, I get the impression that our author writes about a crazy reality in her head where facts only matter if they fit the assumptions already made.

Is this some sort of poor man’s pong?

Leave it Cornell to complicate drinking so much that it loses it’s appeal.

Complicated? Did you watch the video? There are only five rules.

hahaha yes the guy narrating definitely says it is a ‘lazy susan.’ The game seems just as simple as traditional Beirut, beer pong, and King’s. I think it is initially regarded as ‘complicated’ purely because its a novelty at this point, and of course because Cornellians are always overly complex. Way to go CU! apparently nobody’s studying for prelims…

I wonder how original this idea was. Ive never heard of it before. Anyone else ever played before this video?

Nobody plays this at cornell.

There are a lot of fun, simple games that people eschew for boring ones like pong (4 people play, relatively minimal drinking, lots of equipment). Pre-gaming can be fun with games like The Mexican, Minefield, Moosecock (or any number of quarters games), or pretty much any card game ever with drinking rules. Who the hell has a lazy susan sitting around to play this anyway?

This game is absolutely retarded.

got a lazy susan in our apartment kitchen. This is happening this weekend!

Is it possible to be 80% dead?

*Spoiler alert* this game is pedestrian at best. Also, what is a “Cornell”?

Ha! Cornell’s drinking game would be named after a method of suicide.
Beer pong may be similarly elaborate, but who the fuck would kick a beer pong table across the room? Conversely, a fucking “lazy susan” is so tempting to violently destroy; it’s like that scene in Animal House where John Bellushi smashes the guitar. Some dork is enjoying his five minutes of relevance, and BAM, a real bro puts him in his place.
