Here's a Simpsons Drinking Game!

[ber...@hsomai.enet.dec.com]

Well, after all the requests for a Simpsons drinking game, I've decided
to post mine. If you have any comments or questions, feel free to send
me e-mail. No need to waste bandwith! I've used this several times,
and it has worked very well for me and my friends. The first version
worked too well but we won't go into that, now will we? Here we go!

-Simpsons Drinking Game-

The Rules:
1. Every player drinks once/twice/three times (depending on
the classification) for categories one through three.
2. Every supporting character class is divided by the number
of players. Each player chooses an equal number of
supporting characters and drinks whenever one of their
characters appears on screen for the first time EVEN IF
THEY DO NOT SPEAK.
NOTE: Characters can be picked anonymously (names in a hat,
etc.) or players can choose characters to watch for.
3. Episode Selection:
a. Pick an episode from your "library" or watch a new
one.
b. OR, number all your episodes and randomly choose one
by number or roll of the dice. (The random is
a lot of fun if you have lots of episodes on tape)

When everyone drinks: (and how many times)

Once:
Homer says D'oh!
Homer says "Mmmmm...{food item}"
Barney belches
Marge growls
Maggie falls
- for every person killed in a McBain clip
- for every credit Troy McClure lists in his intro!

Twice:
Bart makes a crank phone call
Patty/Selma light up/ or are seen smoking (once per scene)
Nelson laughs
Homer strangles Bart
Movie reference (obvious)

Three times:
Grandpa falls asleep
Sherri and Terri speak in unison
Cross dressing - anyone
Mrs. Krabapple makes out/hits on anyone
The beginning of an Itchy and Scratchy cartoon
(You'll want a buzz, won't you?)

Level 1: (one drink)
Mr. Burns Smithers
Krusty the Klown Apu
Nelson Milhouse

Please feel free to adapt or change the rules to your liking.
I have found out through trial and error that the less instances
of having to drink per level (1-3), the better. You don't want
to have to keep looking at a list to see if you have to drink
when you ought to be watching, now would you? If you're unsure,
drink anyway!

I'll probably revise this in the future if I get lots of feedback,
so send me your comments and questions in e-mail. Thanks! And if
you don't like it, then make your own or don't play at all! Just
drink during the whole episode!

Hope you all enjoy it! Send any feedback via e-mail!
