Fall 2009 - Week 3
O
nce again, Hump Day games went off
without a hitch! We saw most teams at the
bar afterwards, and plenty playing flip cup
and hanging out until the wee hours of the night!
Just remember to play not only other teams, but
more than one team in flip cup. The 8-Ball struggles
when there is nothing to guide it! Despite the lack
of team play, One Flip was out in force! There were
multiple challenges, it changed hands many times,
and there were plenty of funny antics during the
matches!
With the turn of a calendar page and the start
of cooler weather, it’s a good time to remind you
that it’s even more important to get to the fields a
little early and start your games on time. Sunset
is our friend; darkness is not. It may seem fun or
easy to play in dusk, but it’s kinda difficult in the
dark (the blue ball blends with the sky). So be there
at 6:30, get a quick start to your games and keep

Don’t forget about the One Flip challenge! Last
week there were plenty of challenges, the title
changed hands many times, and the players got
pretty darn drunk—One Flip goals accomplished!
Keep your eyes peeled for the pro and amateur
One Flip, try out your flip cup skills on them, then
snatch that title from their drunk hands!
It would be a big help if all of you could review
NAKID on Yelp! Help us spread the word of how
awesome NAKID is and how much fun we have

Fall 2009 - Week 3
that’s still negligible for a day
trip. Interested in a longer stay?
The city surrounding Chernobyl
is Pripyat. Chesser notes that
staying there for a year might
“convey some health risk,”
but Pripyat has long been
abandoned, so you’d be unable
to obtain food, water, or human
contact. However, you’d have
lots of contact with half-man,
half-bear mutants!
?
I like to bounce
? between both bars to
maximize the number
of people I hit on . . . I mean
meet, but I don’t carry cash.
How do I open a tab at both
bars?
I suppose the first thing you
could do is get a second credit
card, but if that’s impossible
because you defaulted on that
loan you got to start your emu
farm, the next best thing is to
use your debit card. Leave
your credit card at one bar,
your debit at the other, and
remember to pay both tabs
before you go home with the
cute chick on the blue team.
Alternatively, once you close
out one card, you can use that
same card to pay the tab at the
other bar.
And of course the final option
NAKID - Hump Day
is to make sure you hit the ATM
before you go to your game (or
use the ones in the bars) so
you don’t leave a paper trail.
Yes, your bank DOES judge you
when 80 percent of your credit
transactions are listed under the
category “Bar/Restaurant.” But
we don’t!
?
How dangerous is it to
be in Chernobyl these
days?
Good news! Texas Tech
professor Ron Chesser has
studied the radiation there
for a dozen years and finds
that “a day-tripper would
encounter an average of five
to 10 microsieverts per hour,”
with brief exposure to higher
levels, for a total of about 60
microsieverts. The average
nonradiation worker absorbs
2.7 microsieverts per day, but
What do Scotsmen
wear under their kilts?
Because NAKID is
heading to the Renn Fest on
the Boomerang buses during
Scottish weekend, we figured
this was a good question ask.
The traditional answers to this
question are “their socks and
shoes” or “naught but what God
gave ‘em.” Yes, most Scotsmen
keep it simple under their kilts.
Less adventuresome Scots wear
tartan boxer shorts.
When the British military started
forming highland regiments,
it’s believed that the kilted
soldiers were required not to
wear anything under their kilts.
Revealing photos found on
the internet show this military
tradition lives on.
However, kilted gents in
Highland step dancing and
athletic Highland games often do
wear undergarments. Wouldn’t
want to offend someone when
that tartan twirls.

Congratulations, Moira! This season LOTWs
not only get the NAKID Lush bandana to
proudly wear during games, at the bar, or
whenever else they want, they also win two
passes on the Boomerang Bus!
Disappointed you didn’t get a Boomerang
pass? Well, every NAKID gets 20 percent off
any Boomerang Bus trip. You will need the
promo code, so please contact the Weekly
Brew at [email protected] for that.
Check out the Boomerang and its trips at

Please don’t get alcohol poisoning trying
to win LOTW. The Brewers would like to
encourage you to drink responsibly!
Moira, Hump Day Groupie
Moira is what we call a “NAKID groupie,” i.e., one who
doesn’t play on a particular night, but shows up at the
bar anyway to drink and play flip cup. It seems Drinking
Day is not enough to contain Moira’s...um...enthusiasm for
flip cup, nor for the people playing flip cup. She took on
several One Flip challenges (yay!), then interrupted other
challenges with random make out sessions, which we can
only assume were an attempt to distract the challenger.
Well played, Moira, well played!
No men were worthy!

Social Sports Night at RFK!!!
Saturday, September 12, 4 p.m.
Here’s one of the BIG NAKID events this season that you absolutely don’t
want to miss. NAKID is partnering up with DC United and RFK Stadium to
lead about 15 social and sports groups—more than 1,000 people total—in a
massive tailgate event on Saturday, September 12th, at RFK Stadium.
There will be other kickball and social groups there, so plenty of
opportunity to meet some great new friends, but of all of them, only
we have done all of this before. We’re the experts, the veterans, the
champions—so let’s get out there and show ‘em how to really party!
Starting at 4 p.m., we’ll have 6 kegs of FREE beer to all NAKIDs, FREE hot
dogs and burgers on the grill, flip cup, beer pong, drunk ball, and beer-in-hand
kickball.
At 7 p.m., we’ll lead the entire tailgate (again, of 1,000 people) in a beer drinking contest as we
gather everyone together to march to the RFK Stadium. There, we’ll hang out with the supercool Screaming Eagles and Barra Brava while we cheer on DC United as they beat the Seattle
Sounders.
Finally, at 10 p.m., if we can work it out, we’ll get to play kickball on the RFK Stadium fields. That’s
right— you could be kicking blue balls around in the middle of the stadium with 100 of your BFF’s!
If we don’t do that, then we’ll all head down to BlackFinn in DC for tons of more beer!!
All of this (a crazy good tailgate with free beer, DC United ticket, and kickball on the RFK Stadium
fields) is just $26, but you have to sign up ASAP. We’re very limited on tickets and this is one of
the absolute best events that NAKID does.

VA Wine Festival Trip
Saturday, September 19, 9:30 a.m.
We are heading out to the Virginia Wine Festival in Centreville with the
Boomerang Bus, so come and join us! The DC area leads the nation almost
every year in consumption of wine, so it’s time for you to step up and do
your civic duty!
In all seriousness, those who have gone before know that this is a great
festival, but driving back limits the amount of tasting one can do. NAKID
has solved that problem with the Boomerang! We have 3 buses going,
which means room for 120 NAKIDs! We depart from My Brother’s Place
promptly at 10 a.m. (so plan on getting there early) and we’ll be leaving
the festival at 4:30 and be back at My Brother’s Place at 6 p.m. Centreville,
VA, is about an hour-and-15-minute bus ride away.
It costs $50 per NAKID and that includes your festival ticket, bus ride to/from the festival, and
lots of free beer on the bus!
Just to repeat, the fee you pay includes the bus AND your festival ticket—you do NOT need to
buy a ticket separately. RSVP on the meetup site to reserve your spot! We still have room for 19
more NAKIDs!

Get gussied up, then get completely hammered!
Alright, this is our mid-season party! If
you went to the kickoff party, you have
an idea of what to expect. We’ll have
lots of FREE beer, FREE jello shots,
and raffles for great prizes like an iPod
nano, a private team party, and free Fall
Kickball registration! We’ll be partying it
up at the newest bar in town: BlackFinn
in DC. It’s super close to the orange/
blue/red metro lines, so you have no
excuse to not come out and party.
The theme is semi-formal. So, come on
out in semi-formal attire, or you may be
made fun of.

Fall 2009 - Week 3
The NAKID One-Flip Challenge
Become a minor celebrity at the bars!
This season, NAKID is bringing back a fantastic
bar challenge from our very first season: One Flip.
One Flip is a one-on-one flip cup game (rather than
teams versus teams). Here’s how it works:
Each day that we have our post-kickball bar fun,
someone will begin the night as One Flip. That person
will be the One Flip champ from the previous week
and will be wearing a bandana that actually says “One
Flip.”
If you want to challenge a One Flip for their title,
all you have to do is go up and challenge them, but
you’ll need to bring 6 cups (3 for you, 3 for your
opponent) and beer. It’s best 2-out-of-3 games. If
you win, you’re the new One Flip and must accept 5
challenges (and win them all) to maintain your title
and get a free “One Flip” bandana! You must bring
the bandana the following week to maintain your title
from challengers! However, if you lose, you cannot
challenge the One Flip you lost to again that night.
Should that One Flip lose to someone else and there is
a new One Flip, you can challenge the new One Flip.
One other note—there are two different types of
One Flip champ each night: Amateur and Pro. You
decide which you are, but if you keep winning the
Amateur title, you’ll be bumped to Pro to keep things
fair. Pros cannot participate in the Amateur challenge,
but Amateurs can certainly challenge a Pro. If you’re
not sure if the One Flip you’re eyeballin’ is a Pro or
Amateur, just ask!
We hope to see a lot of challenges! Good luck!
Beat One Flip to win
the title and get the
bandana!

The Magic 8-Ball will try to be more scientific this
week and rely on photographic evidence of flip
cup dominance rather than divination skills alone.
However, the question of the week, based on what
was seen at the bars, is, “Do I play enough teams
in flip cup to deserve a high rank?” Magic 8-Ball
says “Don’t bet on it.” Remember to play lots of
teams!
