Well, for my birthday yesterday, my fiance brought me a tape of the five
hour Tick-a-thon. I started thinking, that if I was still in school, I'd
buy alot of liquor, and show the Tick. What we really need is a Tick
drinking game. Please help add to the rules.

Drink every time...

The Tick yells 'Spoon!'
Arthur yells 'Not in the face'
Tick starts a sentence 'But Arthur, it's....'
You hear a supervillan laugh (tm)

Okay...

One drink:
Tick says "Chum!"
Tick says "Justice!"
Arthur is referred to as "sidekick."
Sewer Urchin says "definitely" twice in the same sentence.
Bi-Polar Bear appears.
TEMBWBAM says "Yeah Baby! Yeah!"
Arthur takes flight.

Two drinks:
Tick uses a word incorrectly.
Tick plummets from height of greater than 1000 feet.
Arthur is referred to as "Bunny-something"
Tick lands on a building without causing any structural damage.
Dot appears.

Three drinks:
Tick changes personalities. (i.e. Duchess)
The moon is shown with "CHA" written on it.
The Idea Men have a blimp destroyed.

Schrodinger's Cat is not in this novel all of the time.

Tick says "Chum!"
Tick says "Not a Problem".
Anyone says "This looks like a job for ________"

I'm up for the Tick Drinking Game! Didn't the Newhart drinking game
require 1 drink for a "Bob", 2 drinks for a "Hi, Bob", and 3 drinks for a
"Say Bob"? We could assign different amounts for different phrases. And
at the end of the episode during the Tick's closing remarks, we all take
a slug off the bottle in the middle!

Now, how many of you cogs out there are from Wisconsin, so I have someone
to play it with? Although I love my fiance, she doesn't drink and
wouldn't be much fun.

"`Spoon!' Cool - I drink! Um; here, honey...have some Boku."

Thought of a couple more:
De Fleadermous says "Baby"
De Fleadermous tries to pickup chicks
Sewer Urchin says "Definately" or "Very Bad"
Tick uses the word "Justice!"

EVIL is afoot! seems like an ill advised concept--certainly one the big
blue guy would not endorse/participate in such a scheme.

Recreation and entertainment should be done and enjoyed responsibly!

Here are the drinking cues so far for the Tick drinking game.

The Tick yells 'Spoon!'
Arthur yells 'Not in the face'
Tick starts a sentence 'But Arthur, it's....'
You hear a supervillan laugh (tm)

"Chum"
"Egad!"
"Evil"
Any word with over 4 syllables!

how about if you just drink every time the Tick appears?

Everytime tick calls Arthur "Chum"
Everytime Arthur and Carmelita are together
Everytime Arthur is dieting.
Everytime Speak appears (Two if he speaks)

Sudden OTP aside here: I had this image of American Maid in a horse
race the first time I read this! "And American Maid rounds the third
turn, and ... She's THROWN a SHOE!"

Special Rule (during Aztec episode only): Any time someone says
"itlan"
New Standard Rules:
When Sewer Urchin says "definitely"
Whenever you see a pun on the phrase "the right bank for you" (E.G.:
Rive Droite!!), or, heck... the phrase itself
When American Maid slaps Die Fledermaus
When the Tick damages a rooftop just by landing on it

how about you play a different game not involving alcohol. Drinking is not
a healthy thing to do. It is very dissapointing to see fellow tick fans
discussing/creating a drinking game based on the tick.

Mike- Great idea but don't you think that you might get a little
too fucked up from just the opening. Just a thought.

So, drink a Coke, eat a marshmallow, do a sit-up. "Drinking" games don't
have to include drinking if you don't want to. I've had a Star Trek the
Next Generation "Drinking" Game around and have never used it, but it
sure is hillarious to read.

Hmmm...now that I think of it, if I do a sit-up for every "drinking"
rule, I could take care of my New Year's Resolution AND watch the Tick.

SPOON!

Not to me. I am capable of not advocating drinking(which
I do not) and still keeping a sense of humor about it. The
idea of a Tick drinking game is hilarious. Relax. This isn't
Singapore.(fingers crossed)

I agree, though if he did, I think The Tick would closely resemble Buzz
Light-year (or rather 'Mrs. Nesbit') from the 'tea party' scene!!
