How to play the "woo" game

Preforming the woo test of drunkenness is quite simple and extremely entertaining. I live on a road with two popular bars on one end and one on the other so on party nights there's a lot of foot traffic around 2 am which is when bars and clubs in Va close. There's traffic at around 11pm going TO the bars, but sober people or vaguely pre-gamed people are not nearly as interesting as drunk-as-shit people.

How to play the woo game.

1)Get a group of friends together. If you live in a suspicious city like I do a smaller group is best so as not to intimidate the drunkies.

2)Hang out on your porch around when the bars are closing. Chat, hang out, that sort of thing. Have some drinks yourself. Why not?

3)When you hear people walking up on you who may possibly be drunk the first of your party casually lays out a happy, "woo!" You know what I'm talking about. You must lower yourself to make the annoying celebratory crow of drunken frat boys. "Woo! Yeah brah! Awwright!" That noise. Just the woo is okay, the rest is just a little weird, and douchey.

4)If the strangers "woo!" back, they're drunk. You win a point.

5)Rinse, lather and repeat with the next of your group and the next possibly drunken passerby.

Additional notes:

-If the people don't woo and instead look at you like you're an idiot they're not drunk enough to lose decorum. If you had any points, you lose a point. If you have no points yet, nothing happens, you simply don't gain a point.

-Turns out that there's a fine balance of acceptable woo to drunkenness. The woo game is fun to play as a team for this reason. In each team there's a chief woo-er and an assistant. If you're playing boys against girls, for example, the girls can add extra woo-ness to the boys' chief woo-er by woo-ing in addition to him or saying other douche-isms, ex "Yah brah! Hey you! Yee ha!" This generally cock blocks the woo-er as too much woo spontaneously erupting from a nearby porch frightens strangers into silence. Within a team the secondary woo-er can add just a touch of needed woo or simply lean sexily into view to coax out a reluctant woo....this is probably why an arrangement of girls against boys is a bad idea.

There really is no point to the woo game, it's just a way for friends to hang out and chat and play a little fun with drunk people. I'm sure that you could make the points mean something, hell make the points be some kind of drinking game and get drunk yourselves! ...You may want to cut back on the drinking a little when the people walking by woo at you first.
