Jesus, that's a lot of rules! About halfway through any given episode, most
participants would be too crocked to follow all that. I guess that's part of
the fun though.

You mentioned drinks for Scully in her underwear - what about Mulder in various
states of undress? Doesn't that rate any drinks?

Mulder in a suit - no drinks, happens too often

Mulder in a suit with jacket or tie off - 1 drink

Mulder in a suit with jacket AND tie off - 1 1/2 drinks

Mulder in casual clothes - 2 drinks

Mulder in jeans - 2 drinks for men; for ladies, 2 drinks and a gentle slap with
a reminder to pay attention to the PLOT

Mulder in an undershirt (generally while sleeping) - 3 drinks

Mulder shirtless in his boxers - 4 drinks for men; ladies, just pour the drinks
on yourselves, you'll need the cooling effect.

Ahh... we forgot:

Mulder in his bathrobe - 3 drinks

SCully in Mulder's bathrobe: yeah, right.

Mulder flirting with Scully - 3 drinks
Scully flirting with Mulder: -4 drinks

Either agent calling the other
bytheir first name: 4 drinks

Scully and Mulder, sitting in a tree, K.I.S.S.-- ah, forget that one. If
anything actually happened between them, I'd be too plastered to be able to
count or pay attention to how much I was drinking...

Either agent making an allusion to a previous show's case (I have no idea
what you'd do about Tooms part 2 here... that might be overkill) -2 drinks

Mulder suspects something has absolutely nothing to do with the paranormal:
4 drinks

Mulder looks half- asleep for no apparent reason: 2 drinks

Mulder reads something without his glasses on: 2 drinks

SCully takes a bong hit: see above

Any reference to something discussed on this newsgroup that is undeniably

[Michael A. Chary]

Just a coiuple of sugestions for possibles additions and a reminder
that alcohol can be fatal in large enough quanties (paralyzes
the respiratory system it does;))

A mysterious government official says something to indicate
that the government is aware of something Mulder is onto
and is concerned about Mulder's knowledge: 3 drinks

I don't know if DT should count for that but the remark
at the end of Deep Throat counts.

Someone makes a reference to how impressive Mulder's deductive skills
are: @ drinks

Mulder finds a conventional clue that others should have noticed
but did not because they are normal humans cf. Lazarus and
Ghost in the Machine: 1 drink

The agents fire a warning shot in the air without any apparent
regard for the fact that the bullet is going to come down
somewhere with the same speed with which it left the gun:
no drinks but you have to read the first three chapters in Resnik &
Halliday aftyer which you may drink at your discretion

That should be 2 drinks in the second one not @drinks;)

Let's make it easy... On the openning credits, down a fifth of
liquor (whiskey, rye, rum, or vodka), or 12 beers. At each commercial,
drink one more shot/beer. At the closing credits, take life signs, and
call EMS if appropriate. :-)

Mulder in that towel in "Fire" -- a bucket of beer over the head (to put
*out* the "fire" ;-)

I loved that scene.
