Take one drink every time...

Who said "You have to be drunk to enjoy Shortland Street"? Well whoever did was wrong, you don't, it just seems more like reality...
Try this: instead of watching Shortie Street every night, video each episode for a week onto a three hour tape. Then on Saturday night bring round all your mates, (and a keg or two) and push 'play'

A very very very fun game. Very high buzz factor. Supplies: people, beer, and episodes of MASH, the television show.

Simple rules: watch the show, any time a rank is said, drink. (ie. corporal, private, major, etc).

For those who don't know, Frontline is a satirical take-off of real current affairs shows (particularly in Australia), so accurate that it reportedly helped in the demise of a real show on another network. It is now into it's second series and is screened on Monday nights on the ABC at 8:00 pm. It has also now started screening in the U.S.A. as "Behind the Frontline" on Comedy Central.

I have a good idea for a chug game. My friend brought it to my attention during the Olympics, but it can be used for almost any competition sport or awards show (ie: Oscars). It's called 'SHOTS'. What happens is every time someone screws up (ie: falls while skating), thanks God or their mother, and anything else equally stupid/ funny, everyone takes a shot of liqueur (tequila).

This reached me by email, after several forwardings. Earliest From is TLE::DIEWALD (at DEC?) and early subject line was "Making the rounds at Dupont..."

The order of channel-hopping is NBC, ABC, CBS, and CNN. At each commercial, unless otherwise indicated by further rules, the channel is changed.

If you hear someone on TV say "scud," take a swig of beer and change the channel except during scud attacks (see below).

You know the ground rules. Belly up to the bar and name your poison. Turn the boob tube to CBS skating coverage (or pop in a tape), pick a skater in the event, and drink according to these rules:

Although the buzz factor is only low-mid, you'll still have a damn good time playing this one. Either acquire a tape of previous "Ren and Stimpy" episodes or tune in whenever it airs on Nickelodeon. Bring some beer, too.

Consume some beer whenever one of the following happens.
