For future reference, CWoT = Complete Waste of Time
The first CWoT I’d like to mention, somewhat shamefully I might add, are the twisted arts that are Geek Drinking Games.
Oh, you know the ones I mean:
- Watching "Star Trek" and having to drink a whole shot whenever Dr. McCoy says "Damnit, Jim, I’m a doctor, not a (fill in the blank)".
- Two sips of your beer whenever Walter on "Stargate: SG-1" says "Unscheduled off-world activation!" or Teal’c says "Indeed".
- A sip of wine whenever Bear Grylls (a) eats something that is or once was kicking about or (b) talks about someone getting stuck somewhere and dying.
- A shot whenever *anything* involving body fluids happens on "Farscape".
- A whole beer anytime Starbuck fraks someone or threatens to frak someone.
Most of the time, these horrid games are restricted to bad (or, in BSG’s case, extremely good) television. I came across this link to a TCP/IP Drinking Game , however, and I just had to share. Sadly, I must say that I’d be drunk in the first twenty questions. (Hey, it’s not my fault that all the things I *do* know are later on the list!)
Looks like Val Henson is one of the active folks over at LinuxChix (more on that group in another post), but I think this scores her some pretty monster Geek Points as well.
If I missed a good geek drinking game, drop me a line and let me know at ubergeeke@dotfiveone.com.
