Question: Any drink in particular required? I think we need an official
drink of RACMX (after that lengthy thread about lager vs. beer, we surely
have some candidates...).

Drink everytime someone comes up with an "new" Onslaught theory
Drink everytime someone asks "Where's Blink?"
Drink everytime someone asks about the Generation X movie.

Okay, here for 1995, the All-New Rec.Arts.Comics.Xbooks Drinking Game.
Everyone should know the rules, all you need is your newsreader and
your favorite beverage (milk, right?). Then you go through
r.a.c.xbooks looking for these various cues. If there is more than
one of you, the last one to stop drinking is the winner.
Note: for any overly sensitive people out there. This is all in fun!
I do not mean to insult anyone, so just calm down and enjoy!
Drink every time:
Some newbie cries that they haven't been officially greeted.
Somebody actually greets them.
Someone asks for Kid Dynamo.
Twice if they can't find chapter 4.
Someone says an X-character should be gay.
Twice if it's Storm or Yukio.
Three times if it's Rachel.
Chug if it's Bobby.
I misquote, make fun of or otherwise insult David Henry and
wind up paying for it later.
Somebody follows up a 50 or more line article to just say "Me
too!"
Twice if they only comment on the .sig.
Someone wants to start an elite Xbooks club.
David Henry quotes the One-Eared God.
David Henry quotes Richard Darwin.
People reply to Richard Darwin quotes thinking he is a real
person.
Someone post a way for Rogue and Gambit to have sex.
Chug if it isn't the "Leech in the next room (under the bed)"
or the "full body condom" scenarios.
A simple comment ignites a flame war about better states.
Twice if it begins to involve countries.
Someone doesn't believe that the kids posting here are really
kids.
Someone tries to make head or tails out of Marvel Science(tm).
Twice if the use diagrams, equations or cite books.
Someone claims to be a flame keeper.
Someone misspells "Moira."
Twice if they misspell "Colossus."
Chug if they misspell "Rogue."
Well, that's all I could come up with. Tell me if you liked it or
hated it. If you have anymore ideas, send them to me and if there is
enough interest, maybe I'll repost it. I hope you liked it.

Whole Glass: Colm Meaney gets cast as Banshee.

Drink Everything in Sight if: Colm Meaney gets cast as special

HSB...what's that stand for? <mumble> Special Bitter?
Red Hook is an ESB...Extra Special Bitter. I love reds, and I love
bitters. If Gales is really better than Red Hook, that's one bet I
wouldn't mind losing...
