Who we are...

The Cup Game
Another table thing. You'd think we never did anything as boring as eating in the Dining Hall.

Can be done by one person, or by the whole table going around and around, or it can have a definite start and finish.

This site has a really good video of the cup game in action.

As Melissa points out, there is a definite rhythm and beat to the game. This is what I say in my head as I'm doing the actions:

Clap clap, tap tap tap, clap move it over, clap grab tap down change slap next.

SL = slap the table
CL = clap your hands
SN = snap your fingers

We go to Kutshers and we've got the beat
We never ever have to face defeat
Go-go fight-fight win-win fight-fight
Go fight win fight Go Fight Win

Hey Someone
It's an E12 thing. Or they liked to think so. Feel free to borrow it. Just maybe not on the steps of the Supreme Court.
