This is my version of a drinking game. You already know the rules. Get a glass
full of the beverage of your choice and when you see the action/event
described take the number of sips listed. Additions to the list are welcome.

historical/scientific fact/principle

Either character is seen in underwear / swimming suite

Clear-cut allusion to any _specific_ film or TV show (generalized film noir
references and mentions of Deep Throat don't count)
***Five Sip Events:

Space Alien Craft Appears
Mention of a far out conspiracy theory (MJ-12, Illuminati, Government tracking
devices, Dr. Jack Van Impy)

Events Requiring Special Action:
Scully and Mulder have sex with each other: Smash your TV set and fly out to
Vancouver to picket the 1013 offices. Begin a letter writing campaign to Fox
asking the network to a cancel the show.
Ending to episode is totally closed, there are no unanswered questions, the
alien turns out to be a guy in a mask who was haunting the house to reduce
property values. Shaggy and Scobby show up at the end to help Mulder and
Scully: Same as above
