I've been re-reading my Claremont X-Men recently and it's
occurred to me that a fairly decent drinking game can be made
of it. So, in the interest of universal inebriation, I present
The Chris Claremont Drinking Game...

Take one drink whenever any of the following happens:

-- A character perceives the world as "patterns of energy"
-- Wolverine or Rogue explain their powers in a thought
balloon
-- Someone calls Kitty by a pet name (Kitten, Katchzen,
Katya, etc.)
-- A character is believed to be dead but really isn't (take
two drinks if Charles believes someone is dead; chug
after reading Fall of the Mutants)
-- Claremont kills off a character who is later ressurrected
by another writer
-- Claremont uses any of the following terms:
* "eldritch"
* "a body" as a synonym for "somebody" or "anybody"
* "nigh invulnerable"
* "flamin'" as an expletive
-- The team goes into battle accompanied by someone without
super powers
-- Illyana uses her time in Limbo as a guilt trip on another
character
-- Anyone uses two different languages in the same speech
aracter has had sex
-- Any appearance by Jean Grey, real or imagined, between the
Dark Phoenix Saga and X-Factor
-- Someone says "I love you" and the other person answers
"And I, you"
-- Wolverine uses the word "soul" (take two drinks if he says
"a body's soul")
-- Rogue freaks out
-- Rachel freaks out
-- Wolverine freaks out
-- Wolverine considers killing a teammate, but doesn't
-- Storm has claustrophobia
-- Sunspot makes a sexist remark
-- Anything in the mansion needs to be repaired

And I'm sure there's more that can be added to the list...
