The rastb5 Drinking Game!
John Aegard
Hey, everyone, let's put a little fun into our Usenet-cruising time,
and invent something of significance...
I'll start:
-Take one drink whenever Captain Lee apologizes for using all caps, or
when he quotes 100 lines and adds a two line reply.
(whoah, I'm feeling tipsy already!)
-Take one drink whenever someone quotes Robert Holland's net.mission.statement.
-Take one (tiny) drink whenever Theron Fuller refuses to abbreviate Joe
Michael Straczinski.
-Take a drink whenever Ford Thaxton mentions "insider information" or asks
for a source of ratings information.
-Suck a whole bottle whenever someone concedes an point in the DS9 vs B5
threads.
Can anyone add any more? Other than the obvious "Take one tiny, tiny drink
when Johnzo makes a lame attempt at humour?"
<gosh, I hope that wasn't the funniest thing in this post..>
Johnzo.

It is probably the only chance I'll have of getting a drink out of the
game you propose. Your list substantially defines the contents of my
r.a.s.t.b5 killfile :-)

Take a nice long swig when Joe posts one of those I-hate-it-when-he-does-
that posts.
Take a sip whenever someone misspells 'Straczynski', 'Delenn', 'Centauri',
'Minbari', "Boxleitner', or 'starfury'.
Take a sip for each posting in a homosexuality flame war.
Take a sip any time anyone starts a sux/rools thread.
Take a sip when someone posts unprotected spoilers, and another for every
response that only discusses spoiler protection.
If you get through the whole group without taking any drinks, down the
whole bottle (or can -- I tend to stick to Caffeine-Free Diet Pepsi).

I only apologised so many times becaus that is how many different
posts I received with a complaint on my mistake. I answer every
body who writes me. It is just being polite. If you did not like
it you only had to tell me. No need to be silly about it. Unless
you intended it as a joke???? I am quite amused if it is. I hope
this clarifies why I had to write it so many times. I did not
want to, it was a strain on my fingers!!!

How about taking one drink each time someone spells Straczynski incorrectly.

If everyone played *that* game, it would be quite a difficult matter to
make sense of anything posted to this newsgroup.

(Making my second reply to this message):
How about taking one drink every time someone spells "psicorps"
incorrectly?
Mass drunken stupor...

"No need to be silly about it?" " No Need to be silly about it???" SCUZE
me! That's the whole part of a DRINKING GAME!!!
Now, time to be serious, (Yea, Right)
1 sip - Everytime someone from the Star Trek group posts a note telling
us not to post anymore notes in "their" newsgroup.
1 sip - Everytime someone posts a reply to a flame begging everyone to
kill it. (DUH!)
1 sip - Everytime spam is posted in rastb5 (On second thought, scratch
that one, you'll die of liver damage!)

Unfortunately, I do kill many of the aforementioned types of post and
I couldn't recognize a misspelling if it bit me.
Therefore, you definately need to take 1+ drinks when anyone spells out
JMS's full name. More drink for correct spellings than incorrect spellings
since it's so long! I know about spelling long names - I use initials!

Well, according to all of these rules(referring even to the ones
not on this post), I have a warning...
You best not read this news group on the day that you have
to watch Babylon5...I mean, being stone drunk, you might miss
it!
Although, being stone drunk, it might make perfect sense to
you!
