The Unofficial *ucd.life* Drinking Game
Version 2.0, 26 October, 1996 (Fall edition)
The ucd.life Drinking Game was compiled by Sentimental Hermit
(rmag...@engr.ucdavis.edu) because he really didn't feel like
going to work today.
THIS IS A GAME. The actual conduct of a drinking game should be an
exhibition, not a competition, i.e. no wagering, please.
HOW TO PLAY. You and your fellow ucd.lifers should meet in front of a
computer screen (be sure to be logged on and reading Usenet), with your
drinks (alcoholic or not) within easy access. While reading the news-
group *ucd.life*, when any of the following events occur, drink according
to the guidelines provided. If you have any questions as to whether to
drink or not to drink, or how much to drink, in any given situation,
always err on the side of drinking. (Note that this should not be con-
strued as an endorsement for mass alcoholic consumption in any way,
shape, or form).
I apologize beforehand for any misattributions. Additions, corrections,
and comments of any kind are welcome.
THE RULES

[what this thread is about]
Actually, I have found that people AGREE with something I say at least as
often as when I alienate myself from the rest of humanity. Therefore, I
think maybe the rules should be adjusted for a gulp when I alienate myself
and a whole can when someone says "Wow, I actually agree with Grant!"

I wouldn't expect EVERYONE to agree. If they did, there would be no point
in saying it.
So thank you for disagreeing.

This is a quik way to get drunk, even with sips, as both Melissa & I use
Pine, and tend to post a lot ;)

Hmmm... I'll have to start adding more titles *GRIN*
So, if I add several titles, does that mean one drink per title?

Yep, finished it three days after it came out. I have a bunch of friends
who are also addicted so we all chip in and pass a copy around... It was
called "Crown of Swords". The next book is (tentitively) scheduled for
spring, but I'm not holding my breath since the last one was almost a year
late. :( If you get terribly desperate, let me know 'cause I think I can
lay my hands on a copy... :)

No, silly...we all go to hotels in Sac and steal signs. ;)

So, under what category would "Paul from the Diamond Center" commercials
belong? As I recall (before I left CA), they started showing more of
those during the day as opposed to just late at night.

I think Cal Worthington goes back 20 years or more - he started
in my hometown of Long Beach. I can't remember a time when he wasn't
on TV down there.
